Re: Classic Rock WLAV ties its all time record low AQH share in latest Nielsens
"Considering that there were no top ten stations owned by Cumulus and their WLAV dropped so low that makes me wonder how long it will be until the Cumulus people decide to sell their G.R. stations." No offense, but thats not really how it works. "One bad ratings period, and we change formats" "We fa...

Re: Audrey Dahlgren out?
Had a friend who worked there...the guy who created "Five Hour Energy" bought the former "MI News Net" from Eric Watilla out of Cadillac...infused 50 million into it, and created the sports sister net. The reason being, when he would advertise on ESPN for the 5 Hour Energy, he would get H*** respons...

Re: January Book Ratings, Big Wins For iHeart while Cumulus Limps
"I still think that they should drop that awful format. I don't have a problem with them playing nothing before 2000 but I do have a problem with the music they do play from 2000 onward. First of all the format is suppose to be "Hot A/C" but to me it sounds like Top 40?CHR that you would hear on WSN...

Re: How many different songs does WCSX play?
Dial it in: "The point is that you can go to a different city and hear their "classic rock" station and hear songs WCSX or WLLZ wont play. Arent those songs just as "focus tested"? Why are we stuck with the same handful of worn our songs that get played endlessly when clearly other stations in other...

Re: How many different songs does WCSX play?
Round Six: "At the top of this page I asked the question about percentages. What percent of listeners are in a vehicle with preset buttons. Let's say it's 50 percent. And let's say of those 50 percent, half do what I do. Hit the preset as soon as a crummy commercial comes on. Now if you were an ad e...

Re: How many different songs does WCSX play?
"play more variety.... but don't play songs I don't like (or don't know)". Thats pretty close. People SAY they want variety, but they really dont. Most, unlike the musicoligists who hang out here, want to hear their favorite songs They dont want to hear unfamiliar music. Hence why music tests dont u...

Re: How many different songs does WCSX play?
"I call them "safe" songs but I think the reality is theyre just focus tested as being recognizable and generally liked. That means a song that to the largest audience WONT change the station if they heard it...because they know it and generally like it." Good answer...but do you know WHY they (comm...

"For a short time (before the switch to the Star moniker), 105.7 was calling itself "EZ 105.7, today's WOOD FM," which struck me as odd." Quick answer. Ratings. They probably had "WOOD-FM" registered with Arbitron at the time, and EZ 105.7 wouldnt get them any credit in a diary market. The WOOD call...

Re: Jason Benetti replaces Shep
"Leaving the Chicago White Sox to come here. A surprise indeed!"
The White Sox, as a franchise, is in freefall. They will have a hard time getting any one of quality to go there. More than likely a youngster looking for his first major league job. Cheap and easy. Jason is a gem, you will love him.
