Biz Radio/1360

Does anyone know what's up over at that station? I listen quite often during the day, but it's almost impossible due to all of the mistimed errors. I know that it's ran from Biz Radio/1320 down in Houston, but don't they have someone here to listen to things? If you listen long enough you will hear news and traffic updates which are several hours old: along with Frank Sanatra which plays when something goes down. Does anyone know if they have studios here, or do the owners simply switch it over to the Biz people at 06:00 in the morning and leave it alone?

From my understanding the station is in a transistion period. They are in process of building a brand new studio with state of the art of equipment. The technical issues are the result of this. It is annoying and BIZradio net is working on it according to some in the know.

They are tweaking the website, so I've been told. Also, BizRadio is working on adding new markets; Mark Stevens blurted out on one of the recent 'Stevens & Cleverley' shows to some guest that they're coming to L.A. (no specifics, of course). One of their phone screeners told me that they want to expand their programming day beyond 6a-6p but didn't say how or when. They got a lot of people visiting their booth last weekend at the Taste of Dallas thing at the West End, and broadcasted some of the Saturday shows from there instead of at the HQ.

BizRadio does need to work on their spots as PSAs are plentiful, and hearing Gulf Coast Windows/Gallery Furniture/I.W. Marks Jewelers/River Oaks Dental Arts/etc. up in DFW doesn't really help Metroplex consumers. Occasionally I hear Houston news/traffic in the slots where the DFW info should be. I even hear the KXYZ top-hour calls sometimes when they REALLY need to watch that here in DFW.
