101.9 Must Be Doing Something Right This Weekend

WFTL....with it's weekly cume of a whopping 54,000 people!! Looks like WEMP just tripled the size of their NY audience!!! ROFLMAO!!!!!
 
They sure are running an AWFUL lot of (local) commercials........

Could this be because of the large number of New Yorkers /Jerseyans who live in Florida who have family and friends up north?

Not sure, but I can imagine a lot of panicking Floridians listening to this right now.......
 
THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT....

...YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT THEY ARE. I am going to tell you, I flipped around on the net for Irene coverage in the NYC area, because I have family in the area. These guys had THE BEST COVERAGE.......HANDS DOWN! Now, I know that people have been running their mouths about the validity of this format, but let me tell you something.......IT WORKS! You have some major braodcast professionals behind this product, all of which have been extremely successful throughout their careers! I see WEMP being a top 5 player in the market very soon. I am also going to say that WINS should be ashamed of their coverage. NEVER OPEN THE MICROPHONE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO SAY..... Way to go, guys and I am glad that you have been able to continue to provide LIVE coverage to NYC. I'm one of your biggest fans!
 
Yes, thumps up for WEMP. They doing it very good today, they fixing there horrible sound quality on the stream, and every going smoothly what I have heard so far.
 
Steve, wipe your mouth, already... ::)

Your raging intensity and certitude come off as if you are some sort of expert on professionalism in broadcasting, in general; not just because of your over-the-top gush about All Chick News, but with your over-the-top condemnation of "the" 1010 WINS. Their history and reputation absolutely do not rate that kind of slam!

According to Informed Sources, your personal brush with a peripheral industry in the last few years resulted in... well, to quote your manager: "We're still cleaning up his mess!"

I'm just saying. Calm the heck down. You like 'em. Great; hope for their sake you get a PPM meter.

I have plenty of love for my small market brethren, and everyone's entitled to an opinion, but there's something pretty rich about a guy who consults two radio stations in Arkansas tsk-tsking Market #1's All-News Leader Since 19-Freakin'-65. I'm just sayin'.

Your first post and in CAPITAL LETTERS yet. Very impressive.
 
I punched up 101.9 on the way home from work, and heard some long emotional promo about how the station was there thru the worst of it, and how it will be there thru the recovery. All I could think of was "dramatic much"? Of course I could be just a cynical bastard for which cheap emotional tugs at the heartstrings do nothing, and the target audience could be eating it up and skyrocketing those PPM #'s.

Station has a looong way to go before I think of them for anything aside from traffic on the 5's. 880 & 1010 are still my all news outlets of choice.

So tell us how much they paid you for this advertisement.
