WISX to Flip Again?
- Thread starter atthestars
- Start date
Seems the smart money is on tomorrow being the day if something's gonna happen. Place your bets: 10am? Noon? 1:06 pm like when Eagle was plucked? 5pm?
Noon, and it will be a swerve from what has been hinted, likely something young-skewing and rhythmic. (evil grin)
The flip could very well be noon. Chio's stunt from Mix to Real was from 10AM to noon. Chio's show runs 'till 10 AM.
DJ Johnny V on social media wrote 'Long Day'...maybe today was his final day? He is usually on from 2 PM, so maybe he won't be on tomorrow, and The Breeze will be up. But, we can't jump to conclusions from an ambiguous post...still unclear.

I hope everyone is rolling tape on 106.1 FM
What's "tape?"
Totally Ancient / Probably Extinct
I actually have a few reel-to-reels at home. And many cassette tapes from older airchecks. Not totally extinct,
My youngest saw a cassette recorder--one of those handheld things--tapes, a small handheld radio and "boom box at Walmart. He looked like he'd encountered some prehistoric artifact and had no clue what one would do with such fossils.
The air staff was probably told not to say anything and make it seem like business as usual. Some stations stunt. Others don't.
That is definitely true.
Also, Chio hasn't been behind the mic since before the 9:20 mix from DJ Johnny V....its now 9:52. Preparing a farewell message?
Chio went on the mic after 'California Love' and said to have a great weekend, but no mention of 'see you Monday' or something along those lines. He ended with, 'THIS is the new REAL 106.1'. One can only speculate, though...
Currently playing 'Let's Get Married' by Jagged Edge. Not a song to go out with...
EDIT: 10AM and the regular TOH. Now playing 'Pony' by Ginuwine. Several songs including 'Pony' and 'California Love' have been played too many times this week...a narrow and repetitive playlist also shows the sign of a changing format.

But also those are just really great songs. They probably test through the roof!
I like them too...but this isn't a Top 40 station where they need to be played 6 times a day!
Also, Nicole hasn't went on the air yet...so far Eminem's 'Cleanin' Out My Closet' and T-Pain's 'Blame It On the Alcohol'...both songs with a negative mood, especially Eminem's...106.1 'cleaning' up the station?
EDIT: Nicole's FB page says she's in San Francisco. So far a few liners, mostly fades between songs, and commercials. Inching closer to a flip?

I long for the good old days of a mid-song radical format change.

Doubt that'll happen now.
Same stuff the last hour and change. A few liners here and there, the pre-recorded Chio giveaway announcement, and running jockless. A noon launch maybe?
I see where someone mentioned The Breeze and Chio said "Thank you for the kind words" but I don't see where he said he is or isn't staying.
