CITADEL FIRE SALE- TIME TO BRING BACK WARMLAND????

W

Guest
With the Citadel having one foot out the door and the other on a banana peel, wonder what they would take for the basket case of WARM....yeah I might be beating a dead horse, yeah I know the physical plant is held together with duct tape and bubble gum, but what if...hmm we could rent the old studio in the Rexcraft building again.......

I'm of the opinion that AM, personality oriented, and local stations could make money....(geez what a concept...)

just bought $100 worth of lotto tickets ;D

bring it on ;D

warm590 ;D
 
Yonk, Ron Schacht + a roll of duct tape + a pair of dykes + a roll of #12 wire and you're back on the air.
 
Tom- what is a pair of women in comfortable shoes going to do to help???

Sorry couldn't resist ripping off Robin Williams ::)

Say we could resurrect WARM- this would be "Northeastern Pennsylvania's oldies authority"- what would be the first song played after sign on with a brandy new blowtorch turbocharged transmitter????:

C'mon, we can dream can't we????

missing the good old days :'(

warm590 ;D
 
The comment about Ron Schacht brought back a memory of when I worked at WDLS. One night, I called Ron because the mic was full of static. Since I called at 8:30 PM, I woke him up (naturally), but he did help me out. Here was the exchange:

Ron: Look under the console. Do you see a silver box that says "microphone processor" on it?

Me: Yes, I see it.

Ron: OK, lift it up about six inches off the ground.

Me (expecting to see something on the bottom): OK, but it is a solid bottom. I don't see anything.

Ron: I know. Now drop it.

Me (shocked): Excuse me???

Ron: I said DROP IT.

(BANG)

Ron: Good. The dust should be out of the circuitry, and your mic should be fine now. Goodnight. (click)



Ahh, the good ol' days! ;D

Good Lord...not this crazy theory again. Sorry guys....just like so many other things...WARM-Land's day has come and gone. It will never be back. Not tomorrow, not next week, not ever!! It's gone, it's dead..the horse died years ago. Stop beating it! Now move on......

It's all in your head...WARM is still alive...
 
"what would be the first song played after sign on with a brandy new blowtorch turbocharged transmitter?"

Without an "oldies" definition?
"Louie, Louie" by the Kingsmen first and then at the top of every hour...then every version of the song we could scare up - for the first day.

or

"Wipe Out" followed by every song ever recorded that had a drum solo. (of course I'm slightly biased).
 
I'm sorry to say guys, from what I remember, even Ron said he couldn't fix things at WARM without spending money and they would not spare a dime. That's why he quit working at Citadel. That means it's really bad. Why don't you give up on this poor AM and focus on a nice 6K FM...No, wait, I got it. On paper, WARM still should have a great signal...now about those FM translators...

Hey Former Mac Austin...it was three inches not six :p (but that ALWAYS worked!)

Geez, the things I learned from all my "engineer type" friends. The "Fonz" had nothing on the "engineer's whack". If you did it right, it could fix just about anything even if it was only for a moment.

[Sound of blowtorch.]

"It may be WARM for you, but it's HOT for us."

[:30 of Mad Drummer solo.]

Yonk: "Heyyyyyyyyy, Louie plea-bargained and gave us enough cash-a-roonie to fix up the joint. It's the newwwwwwwww WARM RADIO! Serving Norrrrrtheasternnnnn P-A, Newwwww Jersey, Upstate Newwwww York and the world from Scranhon!"

[KHJ playlist from the mid-70's follows.]
 
Man, Tom, that is priceless.....rotflmao....... Louie plea bargained....now wait a minute...maybe he could get us a flood damaged Van from Katrina that we could fix up and use for remotes......

Mack184, yeah the horse is dead and has been beaten to dust, but at least we are having fun here, and boy I could use a laugh here....still rolling on the floor.....

Better yet: when L. gets this stuff behind him, maybe we could talk him into a gambling place at the old Rocky Glen amusement park....live remotes in a broadcast booth...get the 4 seasons again.....

Who said FUGGEDABOUDIT?????

Also, yeah I know the Buoys were from WB, but kicking off the new WARM with cannibalism??? ???

Let 'er rip, gotta refuel the blowtorch :D

warm590 ;D

San Francisco dykes? Have all the videos.

just bought $100 worth of lotto tickets

and I’ll see your $100.00.

"what would be the first song played after sign on with a brand new blowtorch turbocharged transmitter?"

Easy. “Come Go With Me” by the Del Vikings.

Yonk: "Heyyyyyyyyy, Louie plea-bargained and gave us enough cash-a-roonie to fix up the joint.

How about found innocent! And the cash-a-roonie, stranger things have happened my friend. But until then, let’s buy those lotto tickets.

How about, "They're Coming to Take Me Away?" That would be fitting.

Besides, where does one get such an x-mitter? You ain't gonna tell me anyone is still making AM transmitters. If they are, who in hell is buying them, and why?

You know, one of the WARM giants of all time, maybe Mr. WARM himself (seriously), is being discussed elsewhere on this board, and I can tell you right now he'd lower his head, shake it side to side, and break into a big disapproving grin at any talk of a WARM comeback. He knew better 25 or more years ago.

Very true. He wouldn't insult us or any of our family members by saying out loud we are out of our freaking minds, but you can be sure he'd be thinking it big time! He'd be mildly, wildly amused and then just give you that wry smile that screamed, "wanna go over cliff, sure go ahead, knock yourself out!"

It is true. The MIGHTY 590 will never be mighty again.

How about "New Blood," the B-side from either that record or something else that came out in '56-'57?
