Okay lets see 105.9 WCKG is your adverage talk radio during the weekdays. But on the weekends there programing is absolutly terrible! They have an awful weekend schedule. Seriously no one's listening to that garbage. There is a big format hole in Chicago now since 94.7 The Zone is gone. The very least they could do is give us a good rock station on the weekends. FREE-FM 94.1 in Philidalphia, PA play rock on their station reguardless (Nights and weekends). I'm sorry but, they should let their weekend crews go because they are only bashing their ratings with this horrible line-up. Does anyone else agree with me or am I the only one?

Much of the weekend programming makes them money. Brokered.
They did do Active Rock Nights and Weekends. WZZN was an alternative with a repetative CHR like playlist at the time. <P ID="signature">______________

I ABSOLUTELY agree - I cannot stand Stan and Terry during the week - I like Bob and Maryanne LIVE, not taped ( the show they did on vacation was NOT entertaining) Other than that they have infomercial shows - (Travel agent, Some Tech Store show, that Loan guy that haunts Pete's show)
Bottom line -I don not listen weekend - there is nothing on.

I agree about Stan & Terry. They are really boring! I think they should just move Bill O'reily up a spot, that way they can move Loveline up a spot, then move jon & jeff up a spot.

But I have the feeling that with Drew Hayes now in charge and the Free FM rebranding, there might be some changes made, considering that most of the other Free FMs seem to be programming music on the weekends.

Problem is, John and Jeff are live from midnight-5. You couldn't move them up more than an hour without running 24-hour old crap. Loveline can't move up more than an hour without jeopardizing the license, because it's in Safe Harbor.
Here's an idea: lose O'Reilly and pick up another WW1 show that actually fits the format. Say whatever you want about Leykis, he's phoney, what have you, it can't be any worse that a falling political talker with no schtick.

They need somebody to go to the bars to shill for the beer companies.
As far as I know, nobody buys ad time at night. It's just an upsell for daytime spots. Why not put on shows that pay them to be on the air? (As O'Reilly's show is rumored to be)

I don't get it. You sit around and ponder this mess? Nothing's going to happen, nothing's going to get better and the only think you can hope for is that Infinity sells some stations. It's a mess, it's been a mess and it's like Wrigley Field over there. They put on losers, a crap team, they're not competitive with anything and they keep making money, then they raise their rates every year and the media buyers keep taking it like Cubs fans. What a disgrace to what radio was. Thank God for all the choices other than radio that we now have.

Loveline airs on many stations before midnight. It's live start is at 8PM on the west coast flagship, KROQ in Los Angeles. Many affiliates carry it live.
And so far, I haven't heard of any FCC complaints, but I'm not saying there haven't been.<P ID="signature">______________
