CJ Cruz moves to middays at KTFM

S

saradio1

From Allaccess-
Mark Landis-"As the SAN ANTONIO market moves towards PPM in OCTOBER, it is important that we have live talent in middays instead of voicetracking. CJ CRUZ is amazingly talented and has incredible name recognition in this market, and we look forward to her helping us take KTFM to the next level," said LANDIS.

Ummm, Landis should much more concerned with the lackluster format......

good for SA as Dallas and Houston keep the midday VTs rollin along....
 
New talent? Hasn't CJ Cruz been employed by all the previous and current owners of KTSA/JACK-FM (the original KTFM)? Wasn't she the community affairs person who hosted those dull, boring (and FCC required?) public affairs programs that ran every Sunday morning around 3-4-5-6 AM, when practically no one was listening, (excluding those on the graveyard shift who've exhausted their available supply of CDs)? I remember she used to be a DJ on the old KZEP a long time ago, or was it KISS, or both? If so, wouldn't this just be squeezing out more productivity from fewer employees? Why hire someone else when you can train the surviving monkeys to multitask w/o any additional compensation? If they don't like it, there's the door.

i wasnt implying CJ was "new" talent in that way. I meant new as in bringing someone in from the outside. Yes CJ has been around in this market.
 
C.J. has been around and is a fair talent.
She wasn't at KTFM back when it was in the Top 3 for all those years.
I'm certain she has name recognition but with what Demo? Pull any 28 year old fe-male that listens to current music and ask her who CJ Cruz is? I bet you they won't know.

That being the case, WHO is KTFM's Target Demo now ? Confused ? Don't feel bad - So is there Target Demo. Just look at their ratings.

The time for Landis, Woody, Robyn and the old Management Staff to Move On is way overdue.
Where is the Old Cliff Treadway when they really need him?

Here we freakin go. Face it friend... Cliff Treadway couldn't save KTFM in 2009. Freakin Batman couldn't even save that place.

THOSE DAYS ARE LOOOOONG GONE!! THEY AREN'T COMING BACK!!

Why o' why has this "old 102.7 KTFM" way of thinking continued to haunt these calls? Those were different times, different music, way different industry.
 
I think that CJ Cruz is around my age and anyone around my age is considered a "grandpa or grandma". Good luck trying to play music for those. I think I recall hearing CJ during the late 80s or early post 50s music format, on 99.5 KISS, during the early 90s. Then I think she moved to KZEP, then to the old 102.7 KROK, shortly before KROK turned into KXJK JACK FM, a few years ago. I think there were a few more DJs that made the move from 99.5 KISS to KROK, only to disappear when KROK turned into JACK FM. Maybe the 'new' KTFM will turn into 94.1 KRAP?
 
Thank you for the correction. That station, like all the others, rarely ever mentions their legal FCC call letters, like the once were required to do so at TOH. I remembered that 102.7 only mentioned K-Rock and nothing else. But they weren't around very long to even matter. Where can one find US radio station call letters, locations or a city's past radio stations/call letters? I don't bother with the FCC site because I can never find what I'm looking for. Is there some sort of radio history website?
