Sources tell me that Julie Jacobs will be on WKMX tomorrow morning with former night jock "Billy." They will be the new morning show and Stephano has left the Tragical Circus for the comfort of nights at WOOF.

Also, format flip on WJRL, 103.9, now ESPN radio.

Wasn't this tried already within the last three years on WLDA? It didn't work before so why do you think it will work now, It's like the format wheel just keeps spinning on the 8th floor and today it has landed on sports talk. You just had flipped it to The Edge back in June I believe, don't you know that consistency works in this area look at DJR and WOOF Consistent,Solid and Stable and the numbers show it.

Re: BULLETIN....BLUE WATER TO LMA MAGIC STATIONS IN DOTHAN

"Here's a suggestion....why don't some of you so called "Dothan" experts come apply for a job. If you're really that good as broadcasters - radio in particular, then you will fit in with Bluewater. Ask around about us. Our management team is one of the best in the state. We've operated Montgomery for 5 years...don't have any no-competes....and not one person....LET ME REPEAT THAT....not one person has ever left us to go across the street to a competitor. That's a record that we are personally proud "

Well looks like you had someone go work for a competitor, It's a slap to your face when your Morning Jock leaves for Nights 7-12 at WOOF that says alot about WOOF. What kind of Majic did you perform this time KVD to persuade Julie?
 
....not one person has ever left us to go across the street to a competitor. Wow, sfla boy. I bet Stephano is glad that ChapterBlueMagic doesn't have non-competes. He sure sounded good on the air as he was welcomed by the entire WOOF FM airstaff today. I guess the Richard Rheinhardt sudden departure was not technically across the street when he walked out, just downstairs in the same building.
 
sorry,

when I said no one ever went across the street, I didn't mean to imply that we didn't have a shake out period where we found out who could handle the bar being raised and who couldn't. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see a couple more gone at the Magic cluster before we have it in competitive form. I'm sure not losing any sleep over the recent changes. Stephano is in a better place for him, and Julie and Billy were in the planning stages before we arrived. That show will be very successful in AMD. Works for everyone. Same for Richard. Who can fault anyone for a TV job at the dominant station in the market. We would never stand in anyones way that had an opportunity for a significant upgrade. God, you people would find boogie men in heaven!
 
So you were putting out propaganda in your earlier post, all the while plotting to steal talent from a market competitor. I see your character now, sflaboy. I don't think you ever have to worry about heaven.
 
..."I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see a couple more gone at the Magic cluster before we have it in competitive form. This just in from the Blue Water employees, sfla, "Am I next?". You do realize that your employees do read this post, right?

"Significant upgrade" You are exactly right in both cases Stephano did well by moving away. Richard good move he finally saw the light. Julie I wish her the best but don't know what she was thinking she knows better maybe one day she will see the light again too. It's obvious by Stephano's move from Mornings isn't everything especially working for a company like Trajic. Smart move to a Power House like WOOF.

I have to agree Peanut... Sflaboy and Kris do you not have the numbers back when WLDA was ESPN just a short short time ago? Is this just a filler till after Football and you spin the "Format wheel" again.
 
Nothing says lovin' like two more lined up for the chopping block. It won't be Kris or Julie or Billy. Is it Bryant or Steve or Rob or Aaron? Pick two.
 
i cant speak for sfla boy-- but i can speak about him-- AT LEAST HE IS NOT LYING AND SAYING " NOBODY'S GETTING FIRED"-- he is being honest--

he did the same thing at another station and the employees knew where he stood -- he doesnt bs around--

i would think we would all welcome that approach rather than deal with a bunch of shady bullshitters who tell you one thing to your face and another behind your back


and I LOVE THE VOICEGUY ON SPORTTALK 103.9
 
Ahhh, things begin to warm on the AL Board with Dothan. Time for market 190 to entertain everyone else. More mkt 190 news this morning, did anyone/everyone see the ad in the paper from TRP concerning the "signal upgrades" happening on 93.7 and the needed "lowering of power"? Well, it is happening right now. Questions about it: 1) are they putting the new ant on the broken down tower in E. Geneva Co or moving to their own tower in Beth FL 2) AP is out again, sick or vacating while the power is down?

BTW, raw as he is, Steph is talented and is in a company that can and will nurture/develop the talent because they have the pros that can and will help if asked and he is smart enough to ask and to learn. IMHO, his delivery/persona is perfect for the WOOF audience. Yesterday, a friend told me Steph reminded him of a young Rick Patrick (no offense Rick but you and I aren't spring chicks anymore, we are well seasoned)......very high praise.
 
Hey everyone, miss you all..
Yes its Squirrel, I cant comment on the new mgt of Magic, but I do wish StephanO all the best of luck at woof, he is one of the good guys with a heart to match, I am so glad to see him some place where he just might stay for a long time and not have fear of losing his job now, Stewy is right, he will grow beyond his dreams with the talent at woof,...if I can steal him, I will !!! Oh yea things are going good for me in Louisiana, Great food and Mardi Gras, what else does one need? Oh yea Houston...April is doing just fine ..lol.

I would just like to take a moment to say thanks for the ESPN!!!!! I was a loyal listener to the 4 Letter network the first time out. Mike & Mike can take a walk, but Cowherd, and the rest of the group are must listening to in my truck.
My only question is, how much time is taken to find all the 3:50 songs that replace the local commercials?

Oh, and best of luck to Stephano. Not a lot of head banging music on WOOF, (well, now that I think of it, they have had more of an edge on some songs lately) But I'm sure you can adapt nicely!

Not privy to what they are doing. But do know they aren't moving to Bethlehem tower. No CP on record. Besides I don't think they can move there. It think it would short space them to 93.1 WBBK.
I heard carrier yesterday with very very little audio. This did not sound like a reduced power thing, but an STL or audio problem. Maybe they are going to do something different than the T1 link.
Dunno, maybe Frog can fill us in.

Talked to Stephano last night...what a nice guy......I think this is a good thing for him and WOOF

Hey Squirrel...what's crackin' ? Miss you man. Say hey to April

Whats crackin squiz-earl? Glad things are going well! You could keep in touch with a brotha, ya know? Stephano is a superb addition to the woof family, btw. He’s a great guy who’s somewhere he’ll be appreciated and allowed to shine. No comment about magic from me either, btw. Saving it for the book..deposition.. investigators… whatever.
I understand you may have to hire a stunt man, but please give April my best. ;)

-jh
 
Yeah phr8, think maybe it's a little 1K on the building in Dthn? I can't get them outside of Dthn this morning.

'76, I don't think deps & invests will be done but a book? Maybe a case study for text books. A stunt man for a squirrel, visualizations only bring to mind Bullwinkle.

I hope the best for all of you guys. Stewy I was looking through old "ALBUM" collections at my station in storage and couldn't help but to think of you, I know how much you love that kickass classic rock, Bullwinkel??? really??
 
ROTF! Great, now (almost) ALL my secrets are out. Thanks Squirrell. Call the station someday and say hey...I'll give ya the cell.
