Chrissy Cavotta Movin' on

According to NERW Chrissy Cavotta is going to mornings at Albany N.Y. market WYJB 95.5.A new morning show is starting there Sept 12.She is still on Frank in Portland as of today.
 
;D
Hey Guys!
Actually, yes I am leaving beautiful Portland, Maine. I am doing mornings on Fly 92.3 in Albany...not 95.5. I loved my time here at Frank, but I am from the Albany area and I couldn't resist knowing that I could have my mom's eggplant or sausage and peppers anytime. I start Sept 12th!

Peace out!
Chrissy
 
Smart move for Chrissy. As they say, it's easier to find a job when you still have one.

Any word on who will replace her? They could always just (and probably will) cyber-jock it from out-of-market.

Looks like it's up to Bill Fox and Leif Erickson to save the sinking ship now. you're gonna need some bigger buckets, gentlemen, the SS Frank is sinking fast. It's kinda funny watching it from a Blimps-eye view!
 
So ThreeFer..let's see if I have this right. On WBLM, they proudly promote they'll give you the chance to drive a Harley Davidson for a day while at the same time, on WFNK, they're actually giving one away???

Talk about WBLM looking very lame here. I'd figure, a person with you're stature, would've stopped this embarrassment for WBLM.
 
Chissy isn't the only alumni of 107.5 in Lewison/Portland to head to Albany. WBLM evening jock John Clark, from the early-mid 1980's, when BLM was at 107.5, has worked late nights for years at Albany Classic Rocker, WPYX....

Giving one away = buying listeners.

It's an old radio ploy. If you've been in the business for awhile you know that. It's the same thing as giving the listener $100 an hour for listening. On some stations, that's the only way since some of the playlists only rotate 75 or 80 songs over and over and over.... It gets pretty boring after awhile. So what do you, as a station operator, do? Pay 'em off.

Too bad the listeners make more than the employees that actually work there.... :(

as was mentioned previously, Bill is collecting packing boxes with his upcoming departure from mornings at 107.5 - that whole "not renewing a contract" thing. makes one wonder now if they pulled the plug on "the greatest show from earth" far too soon.

i posted it once before and i'll do it again - rock & roll radio's little irony - "it's the Blimp, Frank! it's the Blimp!" (Captain Beefheart)

So Bill Fox is leaving? You can't help but feel bad for the guy since they screwed with his show just about every book... more music, no, let's do a wacky morning zoo! Let's fire Mark Persky! oh wait, more music. But all in all, it's for the best.

As for the motorcycle thing, do your homework. WBLM is indeed giving away a Harley and a Strat. A quick visit to the website will reveal this.

I'm sorry, you couldn't pay me to sit in an office and wait for a cue to call while being bombarded with Jim Croce songs and lame rock trivia questions. If your music sucks, people won't listen. The recent book proved that.

Nassau should just pull the plug now and save themselves the money and further embarassment.

Chrissy,

We've never met but I've admired your work since you arrived at Frank FM. The very best of luck to you in what has to be your dream job - you get to go home, get a great gig and get paid for it. Good for you!

Take care!

LOL. I guess your strategy is to just lie through life, just make it up to oversome sheer embarrassment. WOW..you're so impressive. Maybe next week the sales staff will force some lame value added promotion on the air to once again embarrass the station.
 
BTW, Chrissy "I love women's soccer" is off the 1075Frank website today. Replaced by Stan "I love cake" Manning. Good luck, gang!
