Joe... you got great pipes. Wish I could make a living being a voice guy like you.

I have always heard good things about the company. But then agin I don't work there.
 
How can you hear great things about them.. they've been operating for little over a month and change.. hardly time to develop a track record
 
I used to work for Bruce and Jack(Blueberry Broadcasting)
at WGT in Portland Maine in the late 80s
Trust Me..THEY KNOW what their Doing!
I was let go from WNSX one year ago next week
BUT have been doing VERY well with Voice-over work
I miss the On Air thing BUT at least I'm on 24/7 on KISS 94.5
 
A friend of my said Bruce was a good guy and that he expected a raise..

So that is why I said I heard good things...
 
if they knew what they were doing then why am I hearing from a lot of TOS listeners who say they listen less outside of tom o and Mr Mike, as well as some say they continue to listen more satellite. However, I will point out WWLR and TOS's signal coverage overlap area is very minimal 1-2% at best. thats what probably an arbitron book share? lol :D

it's always been playlist driven...thats what a computer does, they're just running it on auto pilot more often now and playing the older stuff more often
 
how is Blueberry Broadcasting a great company/place, they replaced/fired WWBX with sports (WZON is enough for sports), and WFZX with Oldies from 102.1 just 2 Dials away!!! What a waste of space, 101.7 is oldies and 102.1 playing the same thing? Please....
Top-40 needs to come back to Bangor
Who cares if people have iPod's with there songs, the point of radio is to listen to music if you don't have one nearby?!

The point of radio is NOT to listen to music. Never has been, never will be. You can say that YOU listen to radio for music...that's fine. But please don't make generalizations about the "point" of radio based on your preferences as if the world is dictated by your whims and fancies. Not everyone is like you.

One can argue that the point of radio is to entertain, but entertainment is certainly not limited to music...one can be entertained by talk, be it sports, politics, business, etc. The point of radio from the station's standpoint is to make money so they can stay on the air. If their format isn't working, it's in their best interest to change to something that will work, in order to stay on the air. They are under no obligation (nor should they be) to provide a specific format just because it is the only one of its kind in the market. If it ain't working for them, it ain't working, that's that.

Most people listen to the radio for music mostly, actually, if I wanted to listen to a sports game, then chances are it is on T.V as well. Until your favorite genre of music has been wiped out in your market by something you don't agree to, then you should really learn to expand your horizons with radio...really!

Sure, a new sports station for Bangor and/or Portland would have been nice, but to replace what was already there is deciving. Blueberry can't even get the right ID in for the Portland stations let alone do their own thing! C'mon! Is Portland that desolate of a town where we have to have the same programming on nearby frequencies 95.5 and 95.9?

Blueberry has nothing to do with the Portland stations that carry sports, that's Atlantic Coast Broadcasting, former owners of WHOM/WBLM

I have to expand my horizons? Because I understand and accept that commercial radio is a business that isn't there to serve my own personal whims and desires? My favorite genre of music isn't ever going to be wiped out of my market...because I have my favorite genres of music on my iPod available to me anytime, anywhere, in any market. If I can't find my favorite band on the radio dial, I can find them in my pocket on my playlist. I listen to the radio for local programming: talk, sports, news. I really only listen out of necessity or convenience...in the car or out somewhere where I can't readily find a TV to watch the game.

I read a lot of griping on these forums about this format or that format lacking in a market. Well, the plain truth is that if there was a viable market for the format, it would exist. If stations are flipping from music to talk/sports, there's a good reason for it. It isn't because they're stupid or because they just want to mess with you, it's because it makes sense for them financially. Plain and simple.
 
MUGrad:

Well that's really cool for you now isn't it having your songs on an iPod. I also have an iPod but sometimes I want to listen to something else. Thats acceptable, right?
Radio is radio, I do not mind sports radio but to have on like 6 different dials is just absurd.....
And we do have the right to get on here and gripe if we want, if enough people gripe about a format change then maybe it could be changed, that's the point of any of the posts, we're not going to just get on here and say "Oh, I just love Blueberry".
It's still not kind of fair but whatever
