92 PRO-FM, Your Official #1 COPYING Station!

I happened to be browsing the internet today..and went to Z107.7's Site in St Louis, MO. Well, on their homepage they mention the same EXACT contest "$10,000 Fugitive" that 92 PRO-FM is doing.

Who copied who?

Wouldn't be surprised if 92 Pro-FM copied from Z107.7!

Thought this would be worthy of mentioning.
 
97BHT in PA was doing this a while back too. It's like the "Cash Cow"...everyone steals it.

Another Citadel station in Portland Maine did the same contest last year WJBQ Q97 dot 9
 
PRO-FM is a LAME CHR station, maybe the worst in New England. Their jocks are mainly boring or bad. Their morning show is predictable and bland. Their imaging is stale. They are like your grandfathers CHR station.

It was pathetic last year when thier station imaging promo when they came back from commercial was almost a word for word copy of Kiss 108's. Of course the main difference was that the 92-PRO FM promo sounded like a 5th grader made it.

Let me guess, are you getting "back to the music faster!!" also 92-Pro FM? Can you think of something, anything original?

92 PRO FM is what happens when a bunch of old men who have no clue what is going on in pop culture and haven't been to club in years run a CHR station. I'm going to lsiten 92 PRO FM instead of counting sheep tonight and fall aslepp.

I think Pro-FM is a pretty bland & stale CHR for the market size it is too - but as far as copying other promotions... come on! Every successful promotion was most likely copied from another promotion! Just throw another coat of paint on it and it's fresh... and it's YOURS! Or just use it as is. That's the way CHR radio is played. [Just respin and reuse...]

By the way, their numbers are good... so no matter how bad anybody (including myself) thinks they sound... there's no reason for them to update.

Is Lisa Butts the fugitive? I found her in the ProJo.
 
Oh come on...like there's ANYTHING original in radio these days. 99% of EVERYthing on radio & tv today is in some-way copied or derived from another idea.

How many of WPRO's listeners know that? Probably less than .00000005%...thought THIS would be worthy of mentioning.

I can name 15 - 20 stations across the country that have used this promotion and had great success with it. TO the WPRO listeners it is something they haven't heard before so it sounds new and exciting to them.

And yes, I agree with the posts about how white-bread WPRO is, but you can't argue with success.

It's funny how much they copy from KISS 108 in Boston. PRO needs a better music director though, because there is really no comparison. They are WAY BEHIND the curve when it comes to music, once it's proven at KISS, then they add. The overall mix is just better at KISS. But what do you expect from a major market vs. Providence?
