BizRadio Beginning Its Death Spiral?

A

adguy

Hopped in the car this morning and started scanning my AM talkers for my usual dose of sports and business. Came across 1110 expecting Mike Norman and looks like I got new programming.

The topic with a new host: Weight loss/Health & Fitness. That's what the "All Business" station is discussing in the HEART OF AM DRIVE! The host Jack Warkenthein apparantly has taken over the 7-8AM slot. Don't know where Mike Norman went, but in the wake of Brent Clanton's departure anything is possible. We all know what a programming guru Dan Frishberg is (LOL). If you listen to Warkenthein he emphasizes sports and health/fitness. Way to go programming gurus for BIZ (THAT'S BUSINESS) RADIO.

The big question: Is this the beginning of the end?
 
Jack W. has his nose waaay up the Manila Monster's skirt, thats why he remains. Dan F. isn't in charge , he only plays one on radio,its the Manila Monster who calls the shots and he responds "Yeth Dear". Bizradio started to take a dive when they cheated 3 hosts in Dallas out of funds,and stole a couple of clients.If you wanted to have a show on Biz, you had to cough up $$ thousand a month PLUS you had to obtain clients
to advertise on your show. No clients in a few months ,you were no longer on the air despite paying for the time. They wanted your clients. You did the work in getting them, they plucked them from you. Sound familar? Brent busts his ass to build the working model for Bizradio, obtains TWO not one BUT two stations for them ,gets a working team together for both Houston and Dallas,does his best to keep it going and succeeds, then the Manila Monster goes shopping in Ft. Worth one day meets someone who did a grade B documentary for cable thinks shes a genius, hires her as PR for FTW,promises her a show,she in turn has a part timer who manipulates his way up getting his mentor canned so he could have his job,and kisses the manila monster's ring on her claw. She adores her new pet besides Dan, and thus they set out and claim credit in the written press, and social settings in Texas and NYC that "they"NOT Brent were the brains and force Behind BIZRADIO . If you mention this to Dan,he will state you need mental help while standing in a room full of mirrors. So is BIZRADIO going down? The chance of it lasting is like a chance of returning to 50 cent a gallon gas.
 
I enjoy the BizRadio format and have been listening more lately...
however this morning, unsure if it is a regular occurrence or not, I heard dozens upon dozens of board op errors.
Everything from spots stepping on other commercials and spots, spots being played with the pot waaay too low, what-seemed-like network breaks playing while local breaks were playing, etc.
And the woman who gives the local news/financial updates was unprepared, making countless grammatical and speech errors, and corrected herself probably 5-6 times in one break.

Does this usually happen? Off day @ Biz?

It's a creative, niche idea; however it seems like it needs some technical tweaks...
 
PROGRESSIVE TALK, PLEASE!!!!!! That's what Biz Radio has become in Dallas. I keep hoping for the same thing here. I'm sick and tired of every N/T station leaning right. This city has enough liberals and lefties to support that format. It will at least do better than one of the sports formats or Biz Radio does.

I believe those questions answer the thread's topic. This is the new BizRadio without Brent Clanton. What is described here is the Dan Frishberg BizRadio: laced with errors, unprepared readers and an ill-equipt, poorly trained traffic department. Now you really see Brent Clanton's value.
