Said so well. Cadillac Jack is showing off that he can program any format and do a good job. Making Boston radio interesting.

Do you think he's programming all of this? PR says that he will officially begin his new position on Monday (1/7)
 
Something interesting to note is the @WTKK twitter account is following MANY mainstream Top 40/Rhythmic artists including Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Kate Perry, Pitbull, Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Ludacris, etc.

Something tells me this is the permanent new format. And the logo looks exactly like that of Ben FM in Philly.

Don't get your hopes up. Its another stunt. There'll be a new one within the next 24 hours.
 
this is like when a bully in school is finally being stood up to.  CBS and GM are sick of being crushed by the ole mighty clear channel and finally doing something about it good for them!!
 
maybe they'll use up all those domain names they registered, keep it going for a couple weeks.
Tho not sure about the ones related to news...

What's that bug --now it's You Spin Me Round--that only lives a day, the Mayfly? Just like 96.9
(Well you spin me right round like a record baby right round right round is danceable)

Yeah just saw that. I guess the bigger point is that all of these stunts have sounded good and could be actual formats. GM going after all the people saying they only program certain formats like AC, Classic Rock, etc.
 
The biggest piece of the puzzle so far is the hiring of Pebbles. The format will be built around an audience that she will appeal to the most. So that will knock out some formats right off the bat.

Yup! If you have Pebbles you are going for a younger rhythmic audience. Pairing her with variety hits would be like having Angie Martinez on Wcbs.

Isn't Pebbles getting close to being over the hill? I think she would attract the 25+ crowd, and not the 16-25 demo.

Still thinking Rhythmic AC.
 
Hats off to everyone who said that Power 96.9 was a stunt. I thought for sure that was the format. I couldn't believe that GM would have done such a poor job rolling out a format but they knew exactly what they were doing all along. My only salvation is that the Track Girls at the Big picture Paper fell for it as well..

Matt Siegel and Elvis Duran are older than she is and they are doing quite well with younger demo's. Although I agree with you that it will be Rhythmic ac.
 
format of the day, what will it be? Your vote will hold the key, it's up to you, tell us what, will be format of the day #CommunityAuditions

They may be happy with 92.9 now but yes who knows! Just reprogram the computers
One thing though: may cannibalize some of the ROR audience, but who knows. Depends what decades...80s 90s mostly?

Some of the domain names pointed to rock--go after ZLX? (though they had 969 as part of it--
they could register some sim names with 929 or just stick to WBOS URL)

ClassicRockThatReallyRocks969.com,
Rockstar969.com
969TheBunker.com
969TheBone.com

Again they could just register more but with 929 as part of it
