94.1

Cumulus has posted a PD/PD Drive opening in Inside Radio. What's the deal? Didn't this station just get off the ground?

94.1 is a cursed frequency in Cincinnati. Just wait awhile and it will change format which no one wants to listen to.

That's WOIO, WJBI, WSAI-FM, WJDJ, WSAI-FM again, WWNK, WVMX -- THAT 94.1?
 
With all the talent in Cincinnati, someone should form a focus group and figure out a good format for this frequency. Jazz is the only format, for some reason, that can't seem to make it in this town but it does everywhere else.

Well, I mean they don't even have a completed website (http://www.journey941.com) - maybe the country is just a filler? Or can they compete with B105.1? By the looks of the job description (http://www.insideradio.com/Article.asp?id=2494023&spid=33084#.UA9Lvqaa3BE) - they may be trying to give the station a boost.

Their website is www.greatcountry941.com but it's not set up the same way as the other Cumulus sites (WGRR, Warm98, The Fox, and 96ROCK).

My mistake - thanks for the link, it is wrong on Wikipedia then. You are right, it doesn't look as official as the other Cumulus sites.

I'd love to have a sort of Smooth Jazz/Smooth AC/Urban AC hybrid station in Cincy (then I could listen in Dayton), but would people listen? 100.3 used the be Urban AC but they flipped (I bring them up because Urban AC is relatively close to Smooth Jazz) that so I don't know if there is enough of a following the format.

Does anyone know how the Smooth Jazz format did ratings wise when it was on 94.9 back in the 90's?

Another idea for this frequency could be a Dance format - they have a new station out in Denver called Hot 107.1 (http://www.hot1071denver.com). I've listened to them before and they sound decent to me, I think it would take some younger listeners away from Q102, Kiss 107, and The Wiz.
 
It worked for 740 WNOP for.....how many years?....at least 40 years.
And it had a very good following.

Their best era was Wink 94.1 in the late 80s (a better mix of light rock with less talk and less repetition!)

Wink94.1 --- Wasn't Jim Scott there for a while?

I think Smooth Jazz/Smooth AC would be better that the current format!

Also.. I can't believe my login worked, it's probably been over 10 years since I have logged in. LOL

I lurk, but like you, haven’t logged in for a while. Local radio just isn’t compelling anymore with the excessive commercial loads and homogenized formats from market to market. That said, you raise an interesting point about smooth AC on 94.1. What passes for AC these days on WARM 98, MIX 94.9, etc., sure doesn’t sound like AC to my ears. But then, I’m considered old. The various attempts with country haven’t been much to write home about, and then along comes a small local outfit doing Classic Country with two rimshot signals and they’re burying 94.1 and have closed in on B105.

WINK 94.1 sounded pretty good back in the day, especially when they were programmed by CC Matthews. But my favorite incarnation for this frequency was its AOR period in the late 70s and early 80s as “Cincinnati’s best rock....94.1 SAI-FM.” Great sounding station that was starting to beat WEBN, which was still sounding a bit trippy, carrying on elements of their earlier “underground” days. Unfortunately, WSAI management wasn’t committed to the format. They wanted desperately to shift it to country to combo with country WSAI-AM and go head to head with WUBE. We know how that worked out.
