BLAZE JOCKS

I wonder how many Negative comments are coming from listeners and not current or X Radio Jocks.

I myself am just a listener and never worked in radio, I am giving my honest opinion on a kick ass (local) morning show and station.

Then we get you guys saying burnout or has been, that phrase is so lame!!!! Jen and Rick to me are Still are and always will be. Jen entertained the Fresno Market for over 10 years!!!! Yes I listened to Zr at the time, now that kind of music and entertaiment is back, Thank God!!! Tired of the same old shows that are beamed in from somewhere else.

Jusy my opinion as a listener. ;D
 
Who's the jock on afternoon drive? This guy played the same Ozzy Osbourne bit twice in a 10 minute timespan. Very sloppy. It wasn't even a funny bit.

If they're going to succeed :-\, the playlist needs to be much bigger and vairied. Give 'em something completely different.

BTW - I've never heard the Stone Temple Pilots so much in my life in the past week on all 3 rock stations!!! What the hell is that all about?!?!? Why are we being slammed with sooo much STP?
 
I also agree that there playlist is to tight,with the same artist being played every two hours,but give them time to break the station in.It would be nice to hear more 90's than just the 5 Grunge bands and Metallica,I also like Jen & Rick.
 
One thing I can promise you as a former long term Lotus person... (20 years) is that whatever they do, it has been thought out to the enth degree. If Carlota is beamed in for afternoon drive, that's even better... Carlota was the best decision KOMP ever made in staffing. The morning show is great, but VERY local in Vegas, which is what makes them great for that market. I think beaming them in would be a mistake. Dunno what the station sounds like as there's no stream available, but listened a little driving south last month and liked the little bit I heard. A more current classic rock has been a format I've wanted to hear for a ling time and if it's done right, Fresno will be the better for it.
 
Hmmm...well they didn't think of a website now did they?

Website will come when it comes... These are RADIO people... there's still no website for KWID in Vegas, the spanish they just took over from CC. The on-air element is the most important part to Lotus, always has been and always will be. That's why very few people EVER leave the company.
 
The on-air is the most important part for Lotus? So.... that is why they flipped Super Q the Valley's heritage Spanish station and moved La Buena; thereby creating two new/sick stations. Interesting. Worked well for Big Country and Alice, so why not give it another try right? And, didn't Super Q bounce back from a 1.7 share 12+ in the Fall book to a 3.5 share 12+ in the Winter book? O yeah, that book came out the week after Super Q was slashed and the Blaze appeared. No offense, but this is the most awkward flip I have ever seen. They have on-air talent but no sales force. Their other sales force in the cluster doesn't speak English. They have a PD, but no website. And all this after killing a heritage station that was on their way back up in the ratings to join a five way race for the best rock/classic rock station in the Market.
