I was on my way to work this morning flipping through stations and heard various "best-of" morning show segments and a few stations with part time jocks or an afternoon jock filling in live. I put on Star 94.1 to hear what they were doing and noticed it was music and sweepers for several minutes, so I stuck with them to see when they'd finally break. They never had a live or voicetracked voice on the station, no traffic reports, it was just a musical jukebox. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
Some folks could argue that it's a holiday week and radio listening is lower because of people being on vacation, and that is certainly true, but that doesn't mean your radio station should run jockless in a prime day part. No part timers? No "best of" (and I use the term loosely) Jeff and Jenn? Come on Star 94.1... this is a major market, you can't put something on the air in mornings? Were Jeff and Jenn too lazy to produce best-of segments? Or was the new PD too lazy to schedule a jock?
There has been debate on this board for a few years now about "what is wrong with Star?", and today we answered it. When the other stations in the city are putting in effort, they're not. Having an attitude that it's ok to run without a voice in morning drive is an attitude that results in you being 12th month after month. It's a shame how far this station has sunk, today was a new low. Come on Entercom, we expected better out of you. Fix it or flip it.
