Odds of 1270 staying in the crapper are 1,000,000 to 1. I think you'll clean up.

I turned in this afternoon. HugeShow is still on 1270.Colonel Flagg wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 11:45 amThe Large One was supposedly buying the time on 1270. It's hard for me to imagine David Field and friends would want to lose that revenue.

When Chuck Fritz owned the station, it was a contender. Now, it's pure uniblab, with no discernible audience.

Seems to be lots of AM stations with 0.1 or 0.2 ratings in larger markets like GR and Detroit. But on the other hand some are holding their own in rural areas like WMIC 660 in Sandusky Michigan.

P.S If H*** show is indeed buying that time slot I can't see AM stations turning down any revenue in today's digital world.

They were still airing H*** and Rome shows this week.windsorjoe wrote: ↑Mon Jun 21, 2021 12:25 pmI’ll have to give it a listen to try out.
I do like the CBS Sports Radio shows. Glad I can still listen to them on Sirius.
Poor HugeShow - finally got his show in the Detroit market and now probably getting the boot from WXYT - unless someone else heard different.

If they wanted to stay close to the theme, they could be playing "Bet"te Midler, or perhaps BS&T's "Go Down Gamblin' ".Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Tue Jun 22, 2021 5:05 am"Coming up on 1270 the Bet, the odds of all MLB games this weekend, but first, here's Queen!"

Re: "THE BET 1270" debuts on WXYT AM
I tuned in for 5 minutes yesterday morning. At face value, seemed like low-grade sports talk with some betting lines thrown in. (That comment might make me sound like a jerk.) I will give it a couple more chances. I do like hearing the national perspective on topics from time to time. I’m still glad I can still hear CBS Sports Radio on Sirius.

Re: "THE BET 1270" debuts on WXYT AM
No, guys...I meant that as in every single fucking radio station will play Queen, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, ACDC or GNR no matter what format.
"Mucho estamo grande nacho 1480, las Queen!"
"News/talk 810, weather and traffic on the 6s, but first, Guns N Roses"
"Yee haw, pardners, this here is Country 104, Merle Haggard on the way, right after Def Leppard! step inside, walk this way, you and me babe HEY HEY!"
"The D's home for hip hop, Power 93, we got Rick Ross tickets up after Motley Crue"

Re: "THE BET 1270" debuts on WXYT AM
I heard an AM station out in the Arizona desert that was alternating Native American chants with artists like Lynyrd Skynyrd.
That's true variety - not like these "we play everything" stations that won't do just that.
I'd think music could break up the sports talk, but who'd tune in for that combo? That's what changing stations is for.

Re: "THE BET 1270" debuts on WXYT AM
I like your examples, and this one sounds like a format idea I had years ago - Newsmetal. A marketing angle was "when you want to bang your head, but still fill it with the latest headlines" (or "bang your head-lines", if you will). The slogan was "Life is hard - and so are we."Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Sat Jun 26, 2021 9:23 pm"News/talk 810, weather and traffic on the 6s, but first, Guns N Roses"
There was more to it, including a merging of a teletype machine sound with a pounding metal beat, and other copy lines, but the overall concept was the juxtaposition of seemingly disparate audiences and formats, and blending them into one.

Re: "THE BET 1270" debuts on WXYT AM
That might have been cool 20+ years ago, problem is now most who listen to any kind of rock or metal don't believe in the news. Someone taught me a lesson years ago that you're gonna have massive tune out either by people who dislike one of the two formats. So trust me, you were not alone in thinking of a format like thatMusicrewired wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 1:34 pmI like your examples, and this one sounds like a format idea I had years ago - Newsmetal.

Re: "THE BET 1270" debuts on WXYT AM
More of a reason to not listen exclusively to one station. I'd like to think more broadly than just one format or type of music. Sports is also ok, but more the news or play-by-play than the discussion aspect, and I couldn't care less about sports gambling. I may be in the minority there, but that's not the point anyway.
Re: "THE BET 1270" debuts on WXYT AM
Hard to believe that WXYT (as WXYZ-AM) was one of the "must hear" stations in the not only the Detroit market, but in Michigan; 60 years ago, but then again, even WJR was a worthwhile station in the 80's and 90's until they lost Tiger baseball.
