CORKS POPPING AT 2100 GOSHEN TODAY (No mudslinging please)

[Corky Marlowe]

Haven't heard the Fallen Timbers version of the FedMed rumors, but 1 correction to make...WONW is now News/Talk.

 

[a1avet]

Fort Wayne radio is about as predictable as Keith Edward's hairstyle. (Slam on Indiana's Newscenter as well...a 2 for 1 post!!)
FedMed is going to come unglued soon if they don't throw some zip into their playbook (espcially the Bear and the Fort...the sh!t only works for so long and then you need a change...Billy E. are you listening????)
--- For the record, I am a long-gone former FedMed employee without a grudge... ---

Everybody else needs to pile on and take down the big guys and then we'll REALLY have something to laugh about in here.

Pillage the mothership!!!! ARRGHHHHH!!!!

Pillaging the mothership is only worthwhile if the alternative is better - in this case - I don't see it. The "little guy" in this case is simply mimicking the "big guys." There is a reason the "big guys" are BIG GUYS! You can debate it with "radio insiders" all you want, but the LISTENERS, who don't care who owns the station, ultimately make the choice. Fewer commercials in not that big of a deal in the day and age of dial surfing. People driving will not sit through a song they don't like - just like a commercial break - when there are one or two alternatives available at the push of button.

Trying to force-feed a format that already exists, in multiple, hurts ALL the stations airing that format. But will not OVERTAKE the granddaddy already owning the larger share.

Format changes always result in a bump in ratings, but like the latest shakeup in Indianapolis, it tends to settle back where the little guy kicks, screams and yells, yet still loses any ground intially gained. The latest trend in Indy backs this up despite futile attempts by the owner and his board ops on this forum to prove otherwise.

So K105 toppled WBTU back in the day HOW?

By dominating the visibility factor with plastering Scott Miller and BJ Stone everywhere, playing the right music, promoting the station and creating great promotions.

The Ho is back? Where did you go Ho? Figured you were banned for life or some radio exec finally tracked you down in a back alley some where. Must say my days at work in the old office cubicle have been a lot less entertaining without reading your latest problems with the radio industry.

It's good to be loved! I'm not here to stir things up - just to keep the BS in check by these station owners/GMs.
