94.5..The DRIVE

M

Mr. Marbles

Guest
Well, well my students THE GREAT HOUDINI'S plan has begun to bear fruit ;D 94.5 THE DRIVE is in market #179. The FAB 5 is almost complete. MIXX 98.1 morning's are back on track and soon will be back in the book where it belongs....more to come, stay tuned my students :-* Curious to hear your MIXXED opinions on the new 94.5 format....
 
FAB 5???? Are you kidding me? Z97...DONE....wait til the NEW morning show hits....Holy Crap! WSYB, should be WPSA, rip and read news, boring morning show host, yawn!!! And now the weather...Only Tim Philben and jack Healy keep WSYB afloat. WJJR??? How was the last book anyway? In reality, I think perhaps The NEW Cat Country will be the best in the bunch. The Drive sounds ok, but don't we already have a similar sound in Vermont? FAB 5?? Mr Marbles, i think you should sit with the students, and be taught a thing or 2...Well, don't wanna get a slap on the wrist, so it's back to work for me, I'll have a slice of the pizza next time, I promise
 
I was able to tune it in yesterday on the way home from Killington, BTW It was the BEST day of skiing this season!!!. When did this go on the air?? Must have been one hell of a promo for that launch.(insert crickets chirping here) Anyways, it’s the typical classic hits station, office background music, no energy, no spark, no attitude, the typical corporate plug and play. ZZZZZ…….. From the short time I was able to here it, because its gone just east of skyship, it Sounded to me a new battle will be heating up in big $$$ in Rutland County for listeners. That correct, who will win the all important middle age woman, the Drive or WJJR???????
 
The Drive, when executed correctly, can be a big winner. See The Drive in Chicago. The brilliant imaging is the key.

Executed poorly it's a serious loser. I think it lasted 6 months in San Francisco under the same ownership as in Chicago, Bonneville.

And San Francisco's imaging? I seriously heard this liner

"Like what you're hearing? One simple promise... it doesn't change"

Followed by The Eagles "Hotel California" and the sound of tuners on seek...

Then they tried "Max" (it isn't Jack!) which delivered Min ratings. Now it's country.

Doesn't change my ass...

Hey Marbles...I managed to get out of the office and use my laptop....slap slap....proud of the new 945Drive? huh? what? Seen the website? Half-A**, just like everything done here...

cheese or pep?
 
I heard the station today and it was pretty much what I expected from the Rutland Pamal Group. Uninspiring and boring. The should have gone straight oldies. If they think this will hurt The Fox they are nuts. If this catastrophe takes away from any station it will be their own WJJR as this is a female-leaning format. Didn't they make a movie about the GM & PD there? Dumb and Dumber.

Oofah...yeah, what a piece of <bleep> website. Great half-assed job guys....seriously it really is better to have NO website than something that looks like that.
 
Keep in mind, they killed WEBK for this.

Good move, Pamal.

Do you mean the Fox that runs WGRD liners? Hey guys, whats the traffic in Grand Rapids? Did the Tigers win? Speaking of half A**, the Fox can't even get the satellite right.

Like Mr. Marbles said. More wonderful things are to come.

I don't know, the website doesn't seem to be that bad. Although I didn't have time to follow all the links, it seems like there are no dead links. Layout's a whole lot better than Mixx's. The only downside is that it's essentially a static display. Once you've seen it, you've seen it and been there, done that. But for the curious new listener it serves a valuable purpose.
