brian more went to k98.5

brian more left wobm to go to a country radio station in nj he is now at real country k98.5 am kris mcneil aka don tandlor is also at k98.5 he used to be at nj 101.5 country music must be getting more pouplor now sinch everyone is movin over to country music stations now
 
TWO doesn't mean everybody. If EVERYBODY on other Monmouth/Ocean stations were to go to that Kountry thingy that gets marginal shares, there would be no one left to voicetrack the shows on the other stations! Maybe that's the plot.

And then, the other stations would have to turn in their licence to the FCC. And fold up the tower. And fire the VP. And fired the GM. And fire the PD. And the sales department. And fire the receptionist who does commercials because they don't HAVE any other female voices in the building when most commercials are cut during the day.

And then these same ALLEGED radio stations would have to go back to being FULL SERVICE LOCAL stations again, (heaven forbid) with full time professional** (see below) announcers around the clock, actually SERVING the public trust, WHILE being entertainers at the same time.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. That'll happen.

(**Professional: conforming to the standards of skill, competence, or character normally expected of a properly qualified and experienced person in a work environment)

And "Country music must be getting more popular now", may be the biggest laugh I've had since Anita said I was a cunning linguist on the air 2 years ago.

I love when posters make all-encompassing comments. They're so sophisticated and well thought out.

Respectfully,

My point was actually to show that some posters say things that are patently incorrect, or worse...people who READ these forums believe them. Saying that country music is getting...quoting exactly: "more pouplor now sinch everyone is movin over to country music stations now." Good grammer...must have gone to MY hi skoul.

I don't know about you folks, but I am entertained by posts on this board. EVEN the ones that trashed me unmercifully about two years ago. Most were SO over the top that they were laughable...others cut like a knife. No one BUT my family and close friends know exactly what happened to me in the last three years, including why I was REALLY let go from my last gig.

And ONLY they know the incredible pride when I was asked to do Radio Greats at CBS-FM during the summer. I worked 38 years to get to that point, with many UPS and DOWNS along the way, just like MOST radio folks who have stuck with it as long as I have.

But back to posting things...

I love to see how some folks pass along wrong information, opinions based on absolutely nothing to base them on and (the worst infraction) possibly ruining someone's career due to this incorrect information. This is where I've ALWAYS had a problem with a cloaked board.

I've been the brunt of much...shall we say..."incorrect" information on boards like this, as have other radio men and women. Most of us just brush it off as bull$*#@, usually written by someone with a grudge or perhaps jealousy. Either way, MOST of us chuckle. Sometimes it gets under the skin, as they are people too, with feelings, and responsibilities...but for the most part, it is all a hoot.

Indeed, there are times (as Tom McNally pointed out) that there IS useful information posted and tributes to colleagues who have passed on (Maze comes to mind recently in NJ) and if ANY station makes a move based on a couple of guys who live in their mommy's house in the basement at age 42, you're mistaken. Sure, there ARE times when posters ARE correct about program decisions, or hirings/firings/music, etc...

In MY observation, most of the names in the biz DON'T post because their bosses say NOT to do so. And while the biz is in a tizzy at the moment...as we read more bad news daily...there is nothing I love more than my family in this life than cracking open a mic and trying to entertain as many people as I possibly can in the time-frame that they ALLOW me into their cars, homes and workplace.

So Tom is correct. Entertainers of any kind, and perhaps politicians are the only folks held up to public ridicule or adulation. Sometimes both at the same time! NO one has ever been hired because of a post. Some fear firing if they DO however.

I only post to clear the air...or to tell the truth...or to sometimes just be goofy. Just like I am on the air. That's too much for SOME owners and managers to handle. However, there IS no other way for me. Those in the know, understand WHY I posted this.

In MY comments in this thread, it appeared to one poster, that I was giving someone a hard time. I was playing it in a "tongue-in-cheek" way, of course, as always...using some radio realities of today's local radio climate to make a point. If it failed on some level, I'm sorry. I speak truth. I was NOT trying to insult the poster...but when someone makes sweeping generalizations with NO basis of fact, I believe the posts should be either edited by the administrators or at least acknowledged as bogus info. For all that Sniffen's opinions get blasted on his own site (and he takes posts OFF if they are not to his liking) at least people post there with knowledge they are out in the open field for everyone to see. That's why I sign my name at the end of posts on this board.

I also think that radio pro's (while ALL agreeing for the most part that things are bad at the moment)...as a GROUP, we need to resurrect the fun; the reason we got in to the biz in the first place. Us vets need to lead by example...and stop griping about how good it "used to be".

Any pros allowed to post, give us some feedback. Radio is STILL the most fun thing to do in the world after sex. Some of yous have done that WHILE you're on the air. I should write a book. Wait. I will!!! Run for cover.

Let's make a real effort to have reasoned discourse while discussing radio in NJ or ANYWHERE for that matter on Radio-Info. On this site, my former bossman, Tom Taylor, is one the most incredible radio guys I have ever met. I know MANY pros who CAN'T post are applauding right now. I accept your nomination for president of radio.

I say this in the sincerest way possible... PLEASE make an attempt to learn some proper grammar and sentence structure. "Everything you ARE is in everything you DO" and your not sending such a good message. Perhaps typing your response into WORD and running spell-check and then pasting it onto Radio-Info will help your cause. As I said I am saying that merely as a suggestion and not a ridicule. Now excuse me I need some Advil...after reading that my head is spinning...

I don't think "they moved over" is the correct line of thinking. I think Press happened to have a job opening when one was needed. Just my guess.

Brian Moore is no longer at K98.5... he's already off their website. Kris McNeil (Don Tandler) moves to morning drive.

Has 98.5 ever gone more than 3 months without an airstaff change?
 
K98.5 has gone about 5 months without moves. lolol I know because I was there for just shy of 2 years.

And I agree with the other comment about the original poster. PUNCTUATION please!!! And spell properly. Brian's last name is spelled "Moore" not "more"! Please remember, if you are actually in radio and you post a poor item, future employers will notice.

It's very sad how grammar has been thrown out the window! This is NOT your cell phone you're texting on!

Actually, they are. Many people have been informally blacklisted based on
what they write on here. Put your best foot forward, and don't burn any
bridges.
