Dayton radio has new competition. WKEF-TV, channel 22.2, joins Cincinnati's 64.2 on "The Cool TV" music video network. Nice range of 80's to current hits with a "blast from the past" like Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman" every once in a while. Could they steal a few listeners away from some radio stations, enough to affect ratings? It's like MTV when the "M" actually stood for "Music" and not "Meet The Morons" reality shows. So far I like it a lot. Order a pizza, watch a few hours, post some comments. Radio versus TV, better than the Bengals versus the Bills!

CMT is the same way...not much Country Music left on Country Music Television. But the real miscarriage of true-ness to the name is when the Weather Channel started showing movies. After that, not much will surprise me on TV.
Randy "Macho Man" Savage has been retired for years now. Oh yeah, Vince McMahon would be Level 5 pissed if he saw you refer to his "Sports Entertainers" as "Rasslers" lol. ;DKyDXIn said:Apparently you've never see Randy "Machoman" Savage, or any "real" rassler in the WWEKen Tucky said:
I remember how WWE solved wrestling being on the then-Sci Fi Channel when ECW debuted in '06...by having a wrestler dress up as a zombie so they'd "Fit in" on the network. The only reason WWE Smackdown is on SyFy is because no other network wanted it, and the fact that NBC/Universal/Vivendi wanted all WWE programming under its umbrella(WWE Raw is on co-owned USA).

Sorry, it had to be said Thanks for the explanation of why that freak show is on that network
Steal audience away from over the air radio?
Only if you're over 55 (the demo that really gets into "Oh Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison these days...)
And that's the audience the advertisers on over the air radio couldn't care less about.
Which is why the "oldies" stations have gone away on over the air radio...whether you care to believe it or not.

I don't buy the "demo" line. Cincinnati is a very unique beast. Frankly, I use the axiom of Ruth Lyons. If you put on a product that people can tell and feel is legit, not phony, but true to the heart, it will succeed. Her disdain for agencies was well known. Why do I use her as the example? Because it was true till the day Braun's band was fired. The ad revenue was always there. You don't worry about demos. You do want the market wants, not what Chicago or New York thinks Cincinnati wants. It's similar to why radio is horrible right now. Put on the air what people truly want to hear, not voicetracked voices from Podunk. Live voices in front of a real audio board. The way radio used to be.
I don't mind variety. I hate hearing I Got A Feeling on 7 stations across the FM dial. It's not just the Oldies format.
