As far as I know, there is no farm network affiliation on WFNI - but I think WIBC is still a part of the Brownfield network...

1070--Is Anyone Minding the Store??
- Thread starter snorlax
- Start date
WIBC hasn't run ag programming since the end of 2006.
You were listening to 1070 WFNI. Sounded like a dual feed of Brownfield over Mike & Mike...somebody probably forgot to bring down the pot after the IU coaches show last night. Brownfield is feed over the same satellite channel that Learfield uses for IU programming.
Now if we can just get Dave Wilson to stop talking with the Nascar driver on 93.1 and keep all the sports on 1070 as we were promised when they split.
Thanx, Southport!Southport_road said:
I knew it was some kind of double-feed--I couldn't hear it well enough--but it just strikes me as odd that there is so little oversight, especially since a station executive was attentive enough to post here on the topic. I'll have to see when I made the original post... July 20, 2008.
And technology from 15 years ago could be set up to force all audio channels off at the top of every hour except for one.bigtime said:
Technology can be a friend or an enemy, depending on who's watching the Audio Vault and the board ops
You've gotta wonder about a radio company who doesn't listen to their own stations, or has anyone manning a phone to take a call from a listener saying, "hey, something's wrong here", Are we to a point where no one is listening? Might be a point where you would make money by turning off the signal!Southport_road said:
Sad... very sad!

Aye, sad it is.
My "day job" is in education...I spend the better part of my often-frustrating day trying to make my students CARE about the work they do. I keep advising my students that the "real world" will not tolerate carelessness and CONSTANT repetition of the same mistakes, especially when those mistakes have been brought to their attention on several occasions.
I guess that's incorrect advice these days...

It is sad indeed, but in case anyone here is not currently working at radio or TV station, the time when every studio was manned 24/7 with at least a minimum wage board op or jock has long since past. In many cases, there is not a single person in the entire building overnights anymore, and mostly even on weekends unless there is some sporting event or other live programming on the air that can't be automated.KyDXIn said:
So to answer your question, no, not only are there no staff members listening in the station, no staff members are listening outside of the station either. In fact, it's getting to the point where employees are getting cut left and right, and the ones remaining have such low morale they don't listen and don't really care-and if they do still care, they're too busy doing 4 or 5 other jobs at the station to be able to take care of one more.

That's usually true, but the bigger point is the owners, and hence the local management, no longer care about what the stations sound like or if they are serving the community or if they're even entertaining. Just do more, make more, spend less. Whatever the effect on the over the air product, who cares.
