Congrats on your dismal ratings WFNX

[chrish]

Oldbones, I am sorry I was not clear on a few things, The full digital up grade is
taking place at WFNX, not at either of the 92.1's at least not for a while.

There have also be quite a few other changes, the WFEX legal city of license
studios and offices were moved from Milford to Nashua Technology Park over two years ago. We have a very nice studio/office complex in a beautifully restored
mill building along with other high tech firms. We have a full time production person
who lives locally. There is a complete studio (Wheatstone) that in addition to being
the WFEX legal requirments doubles as a fully equipped production facility including a new Mac laptop with the latest Protools. One of the fulltime Nashua staff is a production person. Both full production or voice beds can be laid down and sent to WFNX for completion or loading into the Prophet Digital storage system which contains four different audio streams (3 FM and 1internet) WPHX-AM operates on its own independent system using XP with Studio Playlist software.
As we have several fulltime employees who live in the Merrimack Valley myself included we all share working from Nashua to comply with the necessary FCC
staffing.

Other than the transmitters WPHX AM and FM no longer has any physical presence in Sanford. As the FM is part of the Portsmouth, Dover, Rochester market we
consolidated the legal studios into the fully staffed sales office in another restored mill facility in downtown Dover. New studio facilities are in the process of being
built that will not only meet the WPHX AM and FM legal requirments but was
designed with use as emergency WFNX facilities should there ever be a problem in
Lynn. Same ProTools and plans for Boston Prophet access. Mutiple ISDN jacks with
Telos Zephyers everywhere mean all studio or transmitter sites can talk to each other.
We still honor the Sanford communities long time community events going back to the beginning of WSME. Whenever there is a request for coverage of an annual
Sanford event I set up a studio with whatever they need at the location of their choice which makes them happier than ever.

There is a radio in an Ipod. You just need one of these to make it work and control it.

"WFNX is a great place to work, one of the last of it kind....locally owned, they employ 45-50 people and in my case pay well and they treat their employees top notch."

Because this is a 'public' board (and I don't want to publicly disrespect your personal opinion) I can only "agree to disagree" regarding the above statement. Quite frankly, if this were NOT a public board, I would go to great lengths to dispute that "they treat their employees top notch"... :-X

I only know how I am treated and can observe how they treat other employees and for over the past three years the people I work with
seem pretty happy and the company provides a great benefits package....sounds like you have an Casablanca type axe to grind. Were you fired?

Look, I'm two years out of UMass Amherst. Yes, people listened to the radio: when they drove to work. Yes people bought CDS and downloaded music.

Yes, mp3 is replacing radion

WFNX needs to start creating cutting edge podcasts, complete with commercial advertisements, to peddle onto the Northeastern kids. Multiple podcasts per week.

And its a shame WFNX has gotten out of hand again. When I left Boston in 2001, it was still doing the extreme FNX Storm and Birdsey crap. I lied them better hwn they played the Cardigans and Superdrag. My little sister told me FNX was cool again, but it sounds like they are doing triple A stuff.

If they are playing the cure and the police cuts like Fascination Street and Bring On the Night are more relevant to alternative music now than Roxanne and...well I can't really think of an irrelevant Cure song (keep in mind I've never heard Just like heaven since I left Boston).
