Re: The Blarney Stone Broadcasting Legacy
Blarney Stone’s new stations sound like a bad version of KHQ or Z93. How they expect to pay for this when they couldn’t pay Roy is beyond me. Why John Yob would enter into an agreement is mind blowing!
Re: The Blarney Stone Broadcasting Legacy
I have to wonder if Yob was making anything off of WJML is beyond me. Hell, they no longer have a real website!
Re: The Blarney Stone Broadcasting Legacy
Not too fond of that Terri Ray chick. And where the hell is Leetsville? Overall I'm not really impressed with KLT in general.
Re: The Blarney Stone Broadcasting Legacy
'tuckied in 'tween Mancelona and Kalkaska on 131where the hell is Leetsville?
Or, as TT would put it...
Leetsville is 1116.6 miles from Niceville

The Leetsville Cafe was their lunchtime show when I was working in the region, mid 1980s.
Terri Ray was there then, and apparently continues now.
Old habits are hard to break, and in time, may become hard to like.

Leetsville, IIRC is where the now-closed Save-A-Lot is.

Re: The Blarney Stone Broadcasting Legacy
I see all references to 99.3 have been quietly removed from the Q100 home page with no explanation from the radio station. Shows how much they value their Grand Traverse region listeners!
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.
Re: The Blarney Stone Broadcasting Legacy
I live in Grayling and I do not listen to Q100 at all. That in itself says something!

Why is that again? You told us once before but it was along time ago.

Re: The Blarney Stone Broadcasting Legacy
I think he doesn't listen because he doesn't like hearing an endless parade of hippie rock stiffs.
Can't say I blame him!
I've tried to like Q100. I've even complimented the station on prior occasions. However, for my own personal tastes, the playlist is waaaaaaaay out there.
WQON makes stations such as 107One in Ann Arbor and The Q in Grand Rapids sound mainstream by comparison.

Re: The Blarney Stone Broadcasting Legacy
The playlist is a big part of why I don't listen. It is indeed way out there. Most of the time I'm not in the mood to listen to obscure titles. I find radio more enjoyable hearing the songs I like and familiar with. And I really don't like their (I'll use MW's term) stationality. Everything is pretty much pre-record and if there is severe weather, not a peep out of them for it.

Re: The Blarney Stone Broadcasting Legacy
I'm the same way. I don't usually like obsure stuff.

Re: The Blarney Stone Broadcasting Legacy
Many Classic Classic Rock tracks (circa 1970s) are a legend in listeners' minds. They ask me how high they charted and I say it didn't, or #96 Hot 100, or it was just an album track, or B side. They say "that was a hit, man".

Re: The Blarney Stone Broadcasting Legacy
Classic rock has it's own rules for what is in their playlists, evidently. Another issue with CR playlists are how burned out the "hits" truly are. It's hard to say that CR songs aren't "hits" but many did not chart well, or at all, as far as Hot100 is concerned. That is simply because H100 only rated SINGLES that were released to retail. Led Zepp's "Stairway to Heaven" was never released as a single in the US, for example, and never charted. That never stopped it from being heard six times a day or more.
Most CR stations seem content to simply air a slim playlist of "hits" that, frankly, I don't know how anyone can listen to pretty much incessantly at this point in time. I also see that, rather than going deeper into their artist's catalog, they add later songs which may actually offend most old-school AOR listeners which make up their core audience. 90's grunge, for example.
I think it's a shame radio has been reduced to the 300-song playlists we hear in all formats now, but stations are now programmed to appeal to advertisers rather than listeners.
