Classic Rock 92 & 100.3/The Buzzard

A

amfmradio1

What is your opinion of Classic Rock 92 (WKRR/Asheboro - rock92.com) & 100.3 - Real Rock - The All New Buzzard (buzzardrocks.com)?

How much of the Buzzard is all new?

How do you think they would do in the Charlotte mkt?

At least they have variety.

Thanks
 
At one time Rock 92 was as good as RDU (The rock version). I don't know what happened to them. They have a signal that can be heard in Charlotte and Raleigh, so they should be good. However, they went to the same limited playlist as much classic rock stations today. The Buzzard is not that great an active rocker. If they got rid of JB&B, it might be better, but we know CC won't let that happen. For active rock, The planet is hands down 10 times better than the buzzard.
 
The Buzzard hasn't been "All New" in 2 years and they are now a classic rock station (unfortunately).
 
The Buzzard reined things in after Janet Jackson's Super Bowl shindig. They used to play at least SOME new music and had some real T&A themed promotions. Now they are classic rock with the boobs strictly on the website. I have no freaking idea why they keep JB&B and are happy to get trounced in AM Drive by the Chris's.
 
I think I'd have to call the Buzzard Mainstream, not Classic. I do hear 21st century artists on there and a few currents and recurrents. They do lean Classic though.
 
Hey ShoNuff,

Their website stills says they're still "The All New Buzzard".

Hey ManWhore,

Agreed, they are more Classic Rock now, even though FMQB, AllAccess, R&R & Arbitron have their format as "Rock".

Hey VChimpanzee,

IMHO, 93.3./The Planet is the Active Rocker in Charlotte!

amfmradio1 -- just came from the Buzzard's website -- there are alot of scantily clad women but NO mention of "All New" . The new moniker is "Just Rock"
 
ShoNuff,

If you go to radio-locator.com, you'll see that they're monikered "The All New Buzzard".

There's some confusion there - their webmaster should make the two websites consistent.

Maybe. But you don't seriously consider The End to be "alternative", do you?

This is about The Buzzard, by the way. I forgot one detail. Before there was The Buzzard, WXRA was active rock for a while.
 
Yes, I do consider 106.5/The End as Alternative.

That's what they're listed as on R&R, FMQB, & AllAccess.

When I hear them play some great Active Rock monster, smash hits, I wish they would keep it up!

Charlotte is the largest city/market in NC, & the largest city between DC & Atlanta.

It deserves it's own Active Rocker - Greenville/Spartanburg has 93.3/The Planet!

Charlotte has every other type of format, but, for me, 93.3/The Planet is the Active Rocker in the area!
 
ya know, I keep hearing "active rock doesn't sell. it will flop", but I hear alot of people expressing the desire for a good rock station. maybe an alternative rocker, something with edge like Project 96-1 in ATL.

I don't see why, if done right, a good active/alternative rocker wouldn't win in maybe Greensboro. I mean the ONLY new rock you can hear in NC almost is The End in Charlotte. (maybe there's one in Eastern NC, I'm not as familiar with that area)

It'd be fun to do, but I doubt anyone would take the chance.
