Best Dayton Radio Moments

Ah yes... I remember when Cat Simon coasted into town from LA and blew up Chris Bailey’s delightful Bartel “Super-Q format” in 1973... I was in mourning for months!

If you recall, the grand finale of their transformation from the Super Q (best thing Cincy had since 1230 Boss Radio WUBE in 1967) to Cat Simon's crap was a contest with a $1000 prize. I won that grand and offered to let them keep it if they would bring back the Super Q. Needless to say, they declined. You were not alone in singin' the Super Q blues. Chris Bailey had a brief stint on WNDE 1260 in Indy in 1977 and made that station sound just as good as the Super Q, so I did get to enjoy my radio again for a while...
 
Bob,

I would like to know more of what you are talking about however I suspicion you are posting to the wrong thread. Was there somewhere else your comment was supposed to go? If so I'd like to learn more as I too liked the "Super Q" format.

Paste the above link to your browser window for a view of this article about Bill Struck. Is this the same Bill Struck that was at W2 in the 70's?

Definitely the same Bill Struck. I pestered him on the request line at WONE FM when I was in high school. When I saw that he was retiring, I dropped him a line. He remembered me.

This is the right posting. Look at Reply 27 on this thread. That's where I quoted from.

I liked when Radio One fired the entite WING FM staff in front of the entire building and switched to Rap music. But my personal favorite would have to be Kim Faris getting pushed off the air and into sales after being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Its inspirational.

Ya gotta love that. Wouldn't you have enjoyed being a fly on the wall for that conversation.

Management: Congrats on your induction in the hall of fame, Kim! You're officially an Ohio radio legend!

Kim: Thanks a bunch!

Management: to commemorate your achievement, we're blowing your ass off the air into a lower guaranteed salary situation with higher stress and lower recognition. Kosher?

Kim: Thank YOU.

Management: We thought you'd like that. Now, take an extra 10 mintues for lunch today and go screw yourself! Ok?

Kim: Yes, Sir! Neato!

:'( ...and sad...don't we all just love corporate radio?
 
Take heart that's the voice of corporations even outside broadcasting. It's what I have been told is "The Mushroom Theory of Operation". Feed em a lot of sh**, Let them get those awards. Then when they grow cut their heads off. I've worked for corporations both broadcasting on others. Same crap different day.................WELCOME TO AMERICA
