106.7 is now the #1 Underperforming station

Post by Deleted User 14803 » Wed Nov 14, 2018 3:08 pm

Now that 98.7 is actually fixing the underperforming problem it is time that Ijerk radio fix their underperforming problem it’s time to pull the plug on Alt 106.7 just before the Holidays.What do you think?

Ah, okay I thought you were implying that it was the only underperformer remaining.

If ifart had any brains, they should flip it to Variety Hits again to compete with The Breeze.

If they decide not to change formats... then they need a MAJOR PLAYLIST MAKEOVER.... and a new name, like honestly "Alt 106.7".....no thought or care at all was put into that.

I keep on thinking a Triple A format like XRT in Chicago would work not the The River 93.9 Triple A we have here because that is not Triple A That is a joke.

They need to just ditch and go back to Adult Hits.
Will be the only way to counter the breeze.

They will never figure out how to program a real Alternative station properly apparently. Ugh.
I mean it's worse than The River fr

They just mishandled this station from the beginning and continue to do so.

They are so alternative that they give away tickets on their website to groups that they never or rarely play.

Iheart needs to at least sell this station, Air 1 would even sound better than what Iheart has done to this station since they took it over it was a successful Country station than they had to screw around with many( I can’t even count )formats and it’s never been the same.Its really 😞 sad.

This reminds a little bit of when 94.5 in Toledo tried AAA, which sort of evolved into just alternative rock. This was like 1997, they had a golf outing and no one showed up, I'm told. Seems like they have done everything.

Let's count all the formats it had over the years...

WDTM
1960-1966:
Jazz and Classical music

1966-1970:
Beautiful Music

WWWW
1970-1971:
Solid Gold/Oldies/Top 40

1971-1981:
W4 Stereo/W4Quad (album-oriented rock)

1981-1999:
W-4 Country (likely its most successful format.. i started listening in the last year or so of its life, and i thought it was nice. it was where i learned about some of my favourite classic country/country & western artists)

WLLC-FM
1999-2002:
Alice 106.7 (Classic/hard Rock, my favourite radio station format in Detroit... once that ended, I switched to 104.3 WOMC)

WDTW-FM
2002-2006:
The Drive (basically, Alice 2.0... just with a lot more alt-rock music that kinda turned me off)

2006-2009:
The Fox (new country music... this one was just awful in comparison to WYCD... I still don't know how it lasted as long as it did... i gave this format a chance but couldn't take it. if i needed my country fix, 99.5 WYCD was there for me)

2009-2011:
The Beat (dance hits/Rhythmic Adult Contemporary, which I thought was actually a pretty good format... definitely the best format since W-4 Country in terms of ratings!)

2011-2016:
The D (classic rock/hair metal/hard rock/MY FAVOURITE STATION EVAR!)

May 26-November 20, 2017:
The D (Variety Hits, basically a hybrid of "The D 1.0" and "93.1 Doug FM", which i still enjoyed quite a lot!)

2017-Present:
Alt 106.7 (Alt rock... it basically decided to take the "shitty alt rock" title from 89 X... which was great news for that station, but... i only like a small amount of alternative rock music, so this one got a "meh" from me...)


Logically, it seems like they should either try to go classic country like during the W4 years, if possible... but if that's no longer a ratings winner, then the next logical format would be to revive 106.7 The Beat.

That would be a great idea just wondering how Classic country is doing in other markets?Like Lansing’s Duke FM or Nash Icons but let’s face it if I was Iheart and I’m in financial trouble I would sell my underperforming stations ASAP.There are a lot of Non Profit Groups like EMF and Family Life Radio that seem to all of sudden have big budgets to be able to purchase radio properties today, look how many big FM stations this year were purchased by EMF the LOOP 97.9 in Chicago,The Sound 100.3 in L.A.just to name a few 102.7 in Detroit and maybe a dozen more all this from listeners donations ,Last but not least even though this next is not a nonprofit remember Kevin Adell he is also interested in a major FM signal in Detroit to so don’t be surprised if he purchased a Full power FM in Detroit in the future as well.
