THE NEW Star 94: Not paying attention
- Thread starter MrRadio
- Start date
I worked at a cluster of stations, with the AM running the sat fed americas best music format. I had liners cut by the jocks to promote their shows. I left and came back several years later and some of the liners were still running.
Maybe we'll hear a promo for McKee In The Morning before it's over with. LOL
I yeeted the liners from the system as soon as I heard it because the jocks hadnt been on the air in months after the network let them go
Also on Star last week, I heard 2 tax relief companies' spots played back to back. Years ago, that would not have happened.
Did you hear what Gary said?
WSB yanked the Boortz Vision Computers ads the second he popped up on Xtra.
I don't know what Belinda is doing these days with any radio station, but WSB is still using her for endorsements long after Boortz left WSB.
Larry Wachs still pops up on the online version of 96 Rock, but of course the other 3 Regular Guys are on other stations now.

Belinda is still with WSB. She hosts the Atlanta Living show on weekends, which she has been doing for many years. She also has filled in on another weekend show.
I would suggest a full market signal in top 10 market should be held to a very different standard than a small town AM running a satellite format.
no doubt. but i do my best regardless of market size and treat the station as much better than whatever market its in
Your station wasn't the only one. I heard one in Portland ME doing the same thing. All the "America's Best Music" DJs had been laid off. But the station was still playing promos saying "Hi, I'm John Smith. I play America's Best Music on WXXX every weekday afternoon!"
I thought Boortz retired.
There's a station near me that's running commercials for a play that closed in early March. They have an ongoing deal with the theatre to run spots for upcoming shows, if I was the client I'd be looking for somewhere else to advertise, and it probably wouldn't be radio.
I literally heard the ad last month, thought "that sounds good", searched it online and found it had ended weeks ago, the spots are still going out in May. Will the last person to bother with commercial radio please turn out the lights?
Same with billboards-- one time, I kept seeing Wedding Festivals ads one month, and they were never changed, even though the event had long taken place several months back; quite misleading if you ask me.
Bring back Craig Ashwood...94Q
I'm with ya.
The days of a strong morning show and relatable DJs is over, I'm afraid. Now it's Jock Generic, voice tracking 5 stations in a cluster and has no audience interaction or commuunity involvement whatsoever.
Doesn't Craig Ashwood have an off-air job with Cox Media? Of course, that was a while back and before Apollo.
He used to pop up on this board occasionally.
Apparently the Dickeys gave him an offer he couldn't refuse to do recorded daily bits on Xtra and occasional live appearances with the Kimmer.
