Bring back WYJZ 100.9!

I

icycool7227

I don't like Radio Now. Bring back WYJZ 100.9! I never even got to aircheck it either as it hadn't been streaming very long so if anyone has one to trade I'm up for it. Why did it change anyways? I thought Indy had a good urban pop.?
 
Radio Now is mainstream CHR, the only one in Indy, and was beating the hell out of WYJZ. It was a stroke of luck to be able to land it.
 
WXTZ 103.3 FM was an easy listening station that was number 2 in Indy when they took it
off the air. Those who play stations for background music don't pay much attentions to the
ads. The sponsor doesn't get results so the station won't survive even though the ratings
are high.

Before some whiner gets on here about how the old Gold 104.5 was a Top-5 station when they blew it up...

It's NEVER about the ratings.

Those numbers only serve as a resource tool for salespeople to sell time and MAKE REVENUE.

As in both cases -- WXTZ and WGLD -- it's entirely possible to be in the Top 5 in ratings but be in the Bottom 5 in billing and, thus, get flipped.

There are always people on this board crying about the halcyon days of Indy Radio's so-called Golden Age, unable to accept that the only constant -- in radio or anything else -- is change.

It's the equivalent of the stoner burnout at Luna Records with his tie-dyed shirt and unwashed hair, smelling of incense, griping about how CDs suck because everything sounds better on vinyl and Sgt. Pepper was the last good music ever made.

Most of them couldn't evolve along with radio and that's why they're left out in the bitter cold.

I love you, man! ;)
 
WBDG, 90.9 FM, is airing smooth jazz from 5-7:30 a.m. on Tuesday mornings. It's an experiment. I don't forsee us ever adopting the format, but if people like it, we might expand it.
