They put Dave and Chuck on a classic rock station in Tampa. It's been 98.7 The Shark since 2018. I've heard the show down there once. That station isn't really tearing it up with a 3.2 rating. They are on another classic rock station in Boston, which is at 2.1 rating. Based on that it seems Beasley...

This is big, especially for those in media.

There's so much more out there...it drives me nuts that WRIF and WCSX, being sister stations, practically share a playlist these days. I understand why to a degree. If you missed "Sweet child o' mine" on WRIF, just flip to their sister station WCSX and hear it again in five minutes. There's a quest...

A rock station where 80% or more of the playlist is from 1993 to 2008, with 10% pre-1993 and 10% post-2008, would sound great, in my opinion. As you know CR target is 45+. If 18 in 1980, 62yrs old, If 18 1989, 53yrs old, 18 in 1995, 47 yrs old. I submit... 70s 15% (primarily 75-79) 80s 70% 90s 15% ...

re: tight playlists. It's the old adage... "you play the same shit over and over", but it's about (unfortunately) programming to not lose the listeners you have, rather than gaining new ones. Yes, there's a helluva lot of classic rock that can be played, even hits, but that's why there's music testi...

It is nice to see a full air staff, who I presume is based in northern Ohio.

Too bad 98.7 in Detroit's corporate overlords refuse to make a similar level of investment.

107-3, and it's staff, all located at Rubber City Radio's Akron studios.

He had just hosted the CSX Holiday Beatles Blitz two weeks ago. Did a great job. RIP.

Old Uncle Fred (Jacobs) the so called godfather and inventor of all things classic rock, always makes it a point to say "We don't play new releases by classic artists" Documented the first classic rock, with CR even in the positioning statement, was M105/Cleveland, 1980. Eric Stevens was PD. A few ...

Benztown provides the stations with the plug in play shells, yes. But, that service also provides them with all the work parts to do creative imaging on their own. I understand that K100 may not have the facilities to make the zips and zaps, but they can create their own imaging elements without us...

Audacy stock price as of June 13 - .062/share. They're not buying anything. Swap? Perhaps. Purchase? Nope.
