A New Day at KZPS

Have you noticed that since the news that Christie Banks was fired, that the on-air sound of the dj's at KZPS sounds happier? There is a noticable change on the air. Perhaps the fun will return and Bo and Jim will be back, truly. Sammi Martines sounded great the last two days, no more liner card reading and we can finally get to hear her great personality over the airwaves again. Magoo even sounded happier and that new girl at night can relax a bit. Even Jack and Rebecca were heard laughing in the morning. Isn't that what it's all about? Clear Channel finally made a great move. CB is gone, the world is a much happier place.
 
So sammi with an "i", why are you using a guy's name to post? And everyone thought you loved the liner cards. Without them, you would have nothing to say.
Do you actually believe posting compliments about yourself on a message board will solidify your position? No. That is achieved through show prep and having a personality.

KZPS still needs to continue with the house cleaning and allow Bo and Jim to be "Bo and Jim". The rest of the on air line up needs to go with Christie.
 
How do you figure that Ed? Their ratings are the lowest on the station as per the latest trends. I know you think CB held the guys back, but whether you like it or not, their numbers went up when they cut the chatter. I don't listen to them one way or the other, but I have heard about the ratings. Look at them and see for yourself. The numbers are there in black and white. You are correct in your comments about the midday woman. She does not know the format,her shift is loaded with mistakes, and her rank has dropped consistently as well.

Their numbers were not great because the indvidual before Christie started to scale back their bits ,etc. The results were lousy. Then Christie comes in,cuts them back further,and all they are is someone manning a board with selector. Allow them to do what they did at Q102, and the audience will return. Allow them to be themselves not a corporate clone with no knowledge of entetainment.
 
I hear you...but I ask you again...why did their numbers increase? Is an increase in numbers a bad thing? They are the lowest daypart on the station, but they were improving under CB. Yes,less talk, but isn't the goal to have higher numbers? My friends at the competition knew B and J talked too much also and capitalized on it with their morning show. I may not be in the ZPS corner, but I have eyes to see when ratings improve.

You beat me to the punch. For God's sake, bring back JD ASAP!
 
I agree, bring back JD. And whoever thought I was Sammi, you are wrong. I am glad to say that I am Mick Ferguson from Ft.Worth, former on air talent in DFW.
I am sure that Sammi and the rest of the KZPS crew would not have a problem coming forward using real names to express the joy they feel now that Christie Banks has exited. I have a good friend that works in the building and to my understanding a party was attended by many this past Saturday in honor of Ms. Banks departure. As for personality, Sammi has it and so does everyone else on the air at KZPS. I do agree it would be nice for JD to come back, now that his thorn has left. Vets of the market like Bo and Jim, JD and Sammmi have been here for a long time and even if it's not at KZPS, they will be here longer than those who don't have a clue as to what this market is all about.

Unfortunately I do not think JD will come back, but maybe if the money's right...last time I spoke to him he was pretty ticked off at CC and for very good reasons. I think he took them to court but not sure. Sammi, was in Houston last and when she came on at ZPS she had no experience in the classic rock format and zps was trying to target some hispanic audience with her last name Martinez...how do I know this..I used to work there. As for Magoo...IMHO he is extremely boring and brings nothing new to ZPS, no histiry in the market either...he needs to go IMHO... I think Duane will see this and Duane will help to bring ZPS back to where it needs to be.<P ID="signature">______________

Dude. "Skinny ass?" Right,and The GoodYear blimp is an ultra light glider. Considering "sources" however, are you still claiming Fast Eddie got the job at Sunny Because Ron told CC to hire him? Bucky go to your addres bar on the computer and type in WEBMD.net. Help for you is just a click away.

DUDE. Sure did. Never to be like you. That's why I am still in the business, and you're unemployed.
 
Sorry for the confusion Mick. The post sounded like something sammi would write. I don't know if you worked with the woman, but from what I understand, she spends more time gossiping amongst her co-workers than she does doing a show, and her drop in numbers proves that fact. Like many others on this board, it bothers me to no end when I see a jock posing as someone else to make themselves appear better.

I have to agree with you on this one-- Magoo is not very "listenable"... I actually CAN"T WAIT to get to the next song or the stop break just so I don't have to listen to him.. I am not knocking him for his personality-- I don't know him personally at all-- I do however listen-- and it just seems very--- I don't know-- boring is the best I can say... It doesn't give me a reason to want to tune in to his show to hear something that I think I would miss-- because there is nothing to miss... unlike when Bo & Jim are doing bits or something-- it gives me a reason to want to tune in to hear their antics... just an observation.

As for Jon Dillion... I would suspect that it would take A LOT of undoings from CC to get him back. Its a great thought and the sentiment is there from all of us to bring him back.. I just can't see how that would work-- there probably is still a lot of hurt from when he was released.

And to the person who said to bring back Pamela Steele... all I can say to that is: RIGHT ON! I would love to have her back in mid-days... a tremendous talent and a great personality that does come across the airwaves well. Still one of the very best voice talents in the area. Hope she is doing well!

Just a thought!

DUDE. I see your other penchant for copying someone is still in place..DUDE. You are in denial. The boasting,the complimenting yourself, shows clearly how much you are displaced from reality. Nobody likes to be unemployed,including shadowy figures like yourself. Seek help. Parkland Hospital has an out patient clinic for your disorder.Call today.

Pamela Steele is working for Danny Owen the last time I heard. They have a nice production studio,and did some things for John Rody on his Itsthezoo.com. She came back to radio briefly about 2 years ago for KZPS,hated what she saw and negotiated her way out.
