Chris Eagan on 92 PRO-FM

[gtdradio]

Former Coast 93.3 Afternooner Chris Eagan is on 92 PRO-FM today (2-7pm) and sounding very good....have we possibly found our new PRO-FM Night Jock?

 

[aqualung]

No way. Middays yes. PM drive yes. Nights no way. He's a good jock but do you really think he's the type to get into the whole text messaging/myspace/youtube thing they supposedly want for nights at PRO-FM? I wonder if he's still doing radio sales in Boston?

 

[xtreme11678]

sounds outta the loop but mabe they would put eagan into mid-days and move jess to nights.... or shuffle davy to mid-days eagan into pm drive and jess to nights..... that might work

Hrm.... when did ProFM move out of the Trail? Says up there on the headlines that he's heading to Boston's 92 Pro-FM.

 

[xtreme11678]

i didnt see that but i would guess thats a miss print

 

[xtreme11678]

and if they dont wanna shake up the current pro fm air staff...... why would i not be suprised to hear him after the new yr. doing PM drive at lite105

Now that I could agree with. Sooner or later there has to be a change in afternoon drive at Lite. I think Jefferds does a good job but it's gotta happen whether he decides to leave or they decide to go with someone younger. I always thought Eagan left Coast because they jerked him around and he ended up off air. He went from afternoons to middays to off air then to sales at WKLB. If he were still selling there I would guess he'd wrangle a weekend shift at one of that Boston cluster's stations. So that would make 2 people going from CC to Citadel with Eagan and Jess not to mention Jones landed at Lite.

Explain to me why Charlie has got to go? His show is tight, on point and last I saw he has great numbers. If there is a change, I think it would be Charlie's decision, why take away another fixture at the station when in the last 2 years there has been shakeup on the staff (except for Art).

if ur question is directed at me wknd cause i brought it up in the first place..... i should have said if jefferds retires eagan would be a good fit...... i agree with you as far as charlies numbers and show..... i think if anything were to happen there it would be charlies decision.... mabe eagans just gonna do fill in work for both stations..... im guessin mabe jess got him over there sence they used to work together

Maybe people are looking at the non renewal of Gary DeGraide's contract when they predict the same could happen with Jefferds. Charlie still sounds viable for the format in spite of his age. He hasn't let the direction radio has gone pass him by. Also nothing against Chris but when the time comes to replace Charlie I don't think the station will just go with a good jock. They replaced DeGraide with a "name". Tanya is also a name so to speak although possibly unfamiliar to Lite's audience. Still, she's known in the market. Chris Eagan is not. He did work at B101 and both PM and middays at Coast and sounded good wherever he worked but he doesn't have the name recognition Lite might want to replace Charlie. Of course I'm not sure there are many or any left in the market who have it, so that's another factor but just my 2 cents. Also, Charlie isn't the only person in the market who is out of the target demo for the station he works at.

 

[xtreme11678]

just how old is charlie anyways?.... and speakin of being out of target demo... although mornings are a little diffrent geovonni i also think is one... even though i think he does a great job mornings on pro.

 

[Moonstruck]

On Jefferds'age I'm guessing 70 give or take. Gio's age doesn't matter. He doesn't sell the music although I have to chuckle when I hear him say "In Da Club" though I'd chuckle more if he said "In The Club". Most morning shows exist irrespective of age demographics.

It isn't age only though. AC radio is a bad example because most guys despise the format and you can't expect AC stations to be staffed by women only but look at Coast. Delilah is probably the only one there who would be caught dead listening to the station. The morning show has its moments and they're both trying but neither can resist reverting from what should be a female oriented show to guy talk. I guess maybe if what women really want is air personalities who sound like everything they find irritating about their husbands then the show is doing its job.

anyone see the new profm web site...... they added j- buff for weekends and the have austin listed " weeknights 6p-10p" and under jobs it says there looking for a night on air person and weekend/ fill in djs im suprised sence for the longest time they have used there weekday people for weekends...... so i guess they wanna add more air staff?

 

[wknd92]

Back in the day when I was there.....we had 8 weekend/swing DJ's...I'm thinking they are looking to have more on hand than Austin & JBuff to give a little more difference from the weekday line up

 

[xtreme11678]

right now i only hear jay on the weekends once in a while and austin has been doing weekends on lite 105... mabe eagon will be a permant weekender

I heard Chris today briefly. He sounded good but I still don't think there's a permanent job there for him. Jess was only recently hired and they even had her middays on Hot 106 before they came to their senses and moved her to PRO-FM. I still don't think he's a CHR night person kinda jock and as everyone knows Davey isn't going anywhere.
