CC Drops The Hammer Again

Bill Love is very good....but has he ever done mornings by himself? It will be a change.
Again i haven't heard, but I doubt it will be outstanding....ah, WMYI until a few years ago....
 
Makes me long for the days when WMYI took the market by storm. George Francis nailed it. Cary Pall for programming, Leigh Walker for sales. Love and Hudson with Roxanne Walker and Monty DuPuy. Jim Ballard voicing the station. The station evolved beautifully. George's overall formula, Sam Walker's touch that brightened the station, adding Robb Stewart and Jeff "Radio Boy" Elliott. Randy Reeves for imaging. Greg "I Know More than God" Andersen and his crew at once mighty WFBC didn't know what hit 'em and utterly failed at responding. The only bright spot there was Mike Gallagher figuring out his talk schtick on the AM.

It was about that same time that WSSL was eating WESC's lunch.

ClearChannel consolidated the market - and the sad products you hear today are the result.

Once upon a time, large companies started gobbling up medium market stations and hired great programmers and staff and put mom and pop operators out of business. Now, it's going to take some renegade single station owner who isn't beholden to Wall Street or private equity shareholders to breathe life into this business. George...where are you?
 
Love and Hudson were as good a team as this market has ever heard. Bill was the perfect straight man and Howard's characters were spot-on perfect. Mrs. Mauldin, Danny Ford, and Buck White "Walking from Gaffney to Toccoa!" were my favorites. Great radio. Probably gone forever.
 
Who handles the websites for CC-Greenville? They change the morning show Tuesday morning, and now we're going into the weekend with the morning show still completely missing from the website? Pathetic.
 
Hardest I ever laughed was when Howard did a bit with Fritz Hollings fighting with Strom Thurmond. Yes...those great days are sadly gone forever.

i can't believe it either. millions are going to have there weekend ruined. i don't think people really notice except for the ones without lives.
 
OK, you're right. Why should a radio station have the morning show on the website?

If management doesn't care about the morning show, don't expect the listeners to care.

And, it is "their", not "there".

Was it so hard to just remove everything related to Sue on there and rename it Bill Love? Seriously. 102.5 is a disgrace.
Like it or not, mornings were the best thing 102.5 still had going for them. That's almost gone now and they are sure showing how much they care about that by not even updating the website. It's the truth, sorry. Oh, and get the format clock in the afternoon straight. It's a bunch of slop. No consistency in afternoons a lot of times.

Thank God this station isn't the lone AC in Greenville. It can not be denied that WSPA has their act together 10 times more.

radio expert and english professor. i stand corrected. my experience has been that if you are going to lay someone off that you don't tip off the person being laid off and it might take time to update the website. i think listeners care and i think management cares. i don't think one station's website that doesn't have a morning show on it will ruin a listener's weekend ;D
 
Jeez, Bill Love was on until noon today and he sounds rather...."restrained?" It was not very good. I would hope he sounds better during the week. It would have taken NO effort whatsoever to take Sue Meyers' information off of that website and leave Love's. It would have taken 2 minutes more than just yanking it probably. They don't care about My 102.5. It's not rocket science.

And they have crossfading issues. This afternoon a jingle was playing over the end of a song then as the previous song was fading out a new one was playing on top of it. Their automation has issues.
 
One of the funniest things I ever heard was an interview between Coach Danny Board and the real Danny Ford. I cannot remember laughing so hard in all of my life. That was just great radio and sadly never to be again.

I'd have given them a couple of days. It happened last Tuesday morning. From the website, you wouldn't know that the station even has a morning show.

But I shouldn't complain. The website has lots of info and pictures of Liz Ryals, whoever that is.
 
Lizz Ryals has been there several years and is live. She was on WSSL at night in the late 90s with a call-in type show.

But I agree, not updating the website is lazy.
 
Since the "staff reduction" at WVOC, there are some new voices doing news, weather, and traffic (Natalie Rodriquez, Gordo, and others). Are they local or is VOC using a service?
Just curious.
