Re: OH-NO-YOU-DIH-ANT!!!
Wow, Justice, I must have touched a nerve? And you tell me not to be "angry"? I can hear your accent in your typing. I could just imagine your head swinging from side to side in a oh-no-you-dih-ant gesticulation while typing...
Ok, I will attempt to address your rant:
> I object you honer this witness is very misinformed or just
> plain retarded
Silver medalist in the 2002 Special Olympics in the message board posting competition, Brad the Cripple got the Gold, SCRHack got the Bronze...I would have won the Gold, but pulled a "Jacobellis" with trying to use a funky font that went bad.
"Chio has been number one with females for five years running."
Isn't that statement true for Q102 in general? That maybe the station is actually bigger than Chio? Although, I saw Chio recently, and maybe Chio is actually bigger than the Station...sorry, now you are going to hate on me some more cause I cracked on your boy...but he is getting big...
Ok, as I understand it, Preston and Steve beat Chio 18-34, and Chio actually slipped to either #4 or #5 IN DEMO in his last book. No? I will have to go look at the numbers.
Next question Justice - Why is it that Q102 went UP in rank (other day parts) once Chio in the Morning went off the air each day, Justice? It's like the MORNING SHOW was bringing the station DOWN?!!! That's odd, you would think with such a powerful morning show as Chio in the Morning, people would turn him on and leave the station on all day...but actually, listeners would listen to something else AND THEN put Q102 on after the morning show was done. Ouch.
> Do you really think Q wanted Chio to go ....are you on

Yep. No front teeth and I am typing this on my lap top from a cardboard box in a test hot zone in the city - thanks Mayor Street!

Ok, this is where you get a D- for reading comprehension.

Two things Justice; let history be your guide - first, I loved all the marketing Wired did for Rocco, The Wild Bunch and Don Ho...it was every where! TV, billboards, bus backs...I mean Big Mama's face is just burnt into my memory...um, or not. That station blew it's load (cash wise) long ago, and I would hate to think what you're boy cost.
Too bad they couldn't buy an identity!!! What is Wired now? I mean, what is their "identity"? "All the hits"? "Where hits live"? "We're the discounted version of Q102"? "Hey, we got Q102's old morning show"?
Second, the listeners are not professional diary keepers. They might write Chio...and then again, in their busy lives, they might think Chio - the guy that has been on Q102 for however long it was (I think it was like 7 years, no?) and write Q102. You do understand how a diary works, right? I wouldn't have to explain that to Chio's personal producer...or do I?
The point? The listeners are not radio nerds like us. They do not CARE to take a second to really think about and differentiate what they are writing...they just do it out of obligation, not loyalty to Chio. They do not realize the impact of writing the wrong thing. Again, there will be a percentage of audience, that regardless of marketing effort, that are confused. Radio just isn't as important in their lives as you think.

Ok, I am honored to get into a pissing contest with an AM show producer...I once got into a pissing for distance contest with Casey at an Iggles tailgate, but we were both drunk, so I am not sure who won and there was no message board involved.
> Chio will be number 1 within the year and wired will be
> higher rated then Q
Wow. That's bold. How about this one - Wired will be GONE within a year and Chio will be looking for a gig. Chio is patch work on a sinking ship.
I actually feel bad for you and Chio cause you are set-up for failure. Try to be objective here - if you really think about it, no on-air personality "saves" a station. That's why I used Tom Joyner as an example. Radio One threw a lot of cash around to market Tom Joyner AND he had MORE equity than your boy Chio...and that station is in the toilet. It's a team effort, all day parts must be strong in order for the station to be strong, and Wired is terrible.
David Lee Roth is being proven wrong every day - radio IS heavy lifting, and to think that you just crack the mic and listeners come flocking to you is asinine..and that's what you and the management at Wired are assuming.
Do not get it twisted - Preston and Steve and WMMR have TWO STATIONS worth of listeners cause a station was eliminated...Wired is only going to continue to lose listeners cause they are bored, and based on whatever Q102 brings in to replace your boy might just be the final death blow to Wired - "new" equals "more better" (for the short term)...and Chio ain't "new" to no one in Philly.
Last point, Justice, ax yourself this question: which came first - Q102 made Chio, or Chio made Q102? Based on the ranking of Q102 in other day parts IN DEMO it tells me that Q102's weakest link WAS CHIO IN THE MORNING.
Please do this - visualize me as Jim Carrey-like standing at my computer doing massive fist punches and pelvic thrusts yelling "YES" "YES" "YES" in triumph.
Now, go call Chio and ask him what he wants you to write in response.
