98.7 is flipping on Friday 1/10 6pm

He’s still in Charge ? I thought he sold everything to buy the Mariners

Those of us who worked for him know that is not true and never was.

Please don't post totally inaccurate suppositions.
 
There is a non-zero percent chance that they'll try to tap Luis Jimenez for mornings even though he's a total mismatch for the format.

Because what is he doing nowadays except sticking it out on the Internet? It's not like Emmis is really trying to format competently.
 
Maybe Gloria B, Genesis Capellan, Luis Javier, Ronnie Porles, Oscar Ramirez, José Dario, Marisol Vargas y más por Exitosa 98.7.

If your speculation in post #216 is correct and Smulyan is waiting for the 3 year deal with his investors to expire, that's more than a year in the future. Might as well settle in and try to make the most of it in the meantime.

Isn't that what he's doing by hiring local on air talent?

It is puzzling to me. Are we thinking that Emmis is keeping WEPN-FM for a few more years? That's why Emmis has added live DJs? Because live DJs cost money, not an expense you'd go through if you were hoping for a sale this year. Not to mention introducing DJs who might not be around under new ownership.

I did hear the woman DJ for a short time today. But I can't understand why they're hiring live DJs while they still haven't...

--fixed low volume on some songs, fixed the late outcue tones on some songs, fixed the too early outcue tones on other songs. Somebody quickly recorded music into the system without caring about these mistakes. Every time I hear "Live and Let Die," Paul McCartney sounds like he's a mile away from the microphone for the opening lines of the song.

--keep running the exact same pre-recorded liners with the same male voice saying the same things over and over. No female voice.

--only play English-language spots, even though many sponsors are big national advertisers with Spanish-language spots.

He gave his his first name as "Jorge." His surname sounded like either Miel, or Miguel.

Jorge Mier, by any chance? (Pronounced "M'h-year")

I'm kinda surprised that they haven't used 98.7 as a test bed for AI talent. It seems like it would be a win-win, especially with the station largely running off cloud technology.

Although Cloud technology and AI talent? What could possibly go wrong? Then again, it's only radio. Nobody dies if things go sideways.
