Re: Upward Mobility
MW answered the question 100% correctly. The attitudes of most talent has become based more on job security rather than upward mobility. Sure, you might not make 250k working at a union shop in Chicago, but the trade off of making 100k in GR with stability and less pressure is the way the game is pl...

Re: April Nielsen Audio #'s for Grand Rapids - WOOD Radio soars; worst showing for WSNX in years
If I were iHeart, I'd consider either taking WSNX into more of a Rhythmic direction or flipping 101.3 or 96.1 to Urban WSNX has always had the reputation in the market as the rhythmic alternative. They have shifted to a more pop leaning CHR recently, probably to protect themselves from mainstream W...

Re: April Radio Ratings
WJR increased bigly because almost all the other stations, TV and Radio, have a Hate Trump/Blame Trump Political Agenda. A lot of people put the blame where it belongs, on the people who were responsible for creating and/or isolating and exporting the virus, lying about it at every turn, and they a...

Re: WYCD's ratings fall to worst non-Holiday levels in MANY YEARS due to stupid programming changes
Couple of points about Channel 95.5 performance. One, they can thank Entercom for flipping AMP and handing them the format. I don’t consider ‘DVD to be a direct competitor. ‘DVD’s slogan “Today’s best music and more“ screams Hot AC. Two, Top 40 and Rhythmic Top 40 artists and their music are very st...

Re: "We cannot play two females back-to-back"
Maybe I’m just over thinking this. How ‘bout pick a target demo and play the hits. Scheduling rules from the 70’s just don’t apply anymore. There are reasons TSL is down across all formats. Streaming, satellite radio, and podcasts or digital audiobooks are our competition. If we continue to devolve ...

Re: Local iHeartRadio Firings
This might go down as the worst single day in the history of radio.
What is even scarier is that radio is a copycat business. Iheart has established a new model for others to follow. It is more likely to get worse.

You guys haven’t even discussed the 105.3 HotFM continuous trainwreck. Add that to the Cumulus GR ratings portfolio and it spells d-i-s-a-s-t-e-r.

Re: New 105.3 Hot FM morning show announced
Warning...Rant Post... I like that they are willing to break tradition and give this a shot. Successful women morning show leads are still fairly rare, let alone two women on a CHR. GR has a great lead in Connie at WLHT. The problem here is that Hot is just an overall cluster-fuck. Hot should have b...

Stopnswap my brother. Did you actually write that “PPM’s can’t tell if people aren’t tuning in because of talking?” Dude. Put the Cheetos and Mountain Dew down, get off this website for five minutes and do a little homework on how PPM works. That statement is really unbelievable coming from a person...

MW, PPM has changed the game. If the data says shut them up and play more music that’s what programmers are going to do.
