971 RQQ website

I recently checked out 971RQQ's website, www.971rqq.com . There is nothing there to sign up for right now, but yet I got this email from them the other day:

You have successfully joined the Loyal Listener Club!

Congratulations, now you'll be the first to find out about the hottest events and exclusive contests!

Thank You for Listening!

Although proceeding to the Cumulus site, we learn:

97.1 is still Classic Hits (spelled Calssic), and 93.7 in the Macon cluster is "Today's Little Rock" (I think they meant Lite), so you've got to appreciate the webmasters on that site.

 

[Did-I-Do-That?]

Kids-

If you are going to start a thread, please have at least some truth in them. You do not get emails from a website when you stream, you must opt in. RQQ does not have a "Loyal Listeners Club". If you are claiming to get this email, post the entire email that would have the station name in it and the opt out cumulus legal tagline at the bottom of the email.

and RQQ is not classic hits spelled right or wrong. The old Tower site is up in internetland since whoever hosted it still owns it.

I have long since deleted the email, but I went in to "trash" and looked at it again. It has the old "classic hits 97.1 WRQQ logo at the top of it, followed by "Welcome, (my name)" and then the text I copied and pasted above.

That a newbie does not believe me matters none to me! :

Well, despite what our troll (several posts above) has said, I did not join, or opt in to, any "loyal listeners club," leading me to believe that the email must be, at the very least, spam! Being a "loyal listener" implies loyalty, and anyone who has read me here over the past several months, knows I'm not exactly "loyal" to them.

I registered for free gas at one of their remotes not too long ago. Maybe that is where they got my contact information. (No, I didn't win, apparently! ) But I've got a Bob & Tom cap if anyone wants it! ;D

Hey Delta, did u ever hear about those pirate stations off the coast of Great Britain back in the sixties, seventies and eighties. Radio Caroline was one such station. They had broadcast studios on the ship and a tower mounted on the ship. These guys broke all the rules and they thumbed their noses at the BBC controlled broadcast media. Gotta love em. I know some of you hate pirates but these guys were cool. 8)

Radio Caroline produced some great air talent. John Beele and Johnny Walker, who later worked at KSAN FM San Fransisco with the legendary Tom Donahue.

Didn't many of those Caroline guys go on to work with the BBC? The BBC knew they had to get these guys on board. If The BBC had been in tune with what the teens and young adults of the UK during that period, they would have programmed the same kind of rock formats that the pirates were delivering. Unless I am misinformed, rock music was scarce in the UK on the BBC, except for certain nights and at certain times of the day. I find that hard to believe from a country that gave us all of that great rock. I do not think the BBC had a 24/7 rock station anywhere in their programs. I could be wrong about that and if I am someone will point it out. Millions of Brits, and continental Europeans tuned into the Pirate stations to hear new bands such as Pink Floyd. I think It was "Pirate" broadcaster John Beel that introduced Pink Floyd to young rock fans. Now Pink Floyd was so talented that their material probably would have taken off in time, but the Pirate broadcasters made sure the new rock sounds were heard.

Now enough talk of the Pirates before I PO those on here that hate the Pirate broadcasters. ;D

If you have XM you should listen to the 60's channel. They have aprogram called "Here and There." They pick a year such as 1966 and play the top 10 songs on the charts from here and Great Brittin. They'll pick a week such as the first week in May. You will not believe the difference in what our top 10 is cmaired to theirs.
