Curtains For FM News 101.1?

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

This just in...JDC hates anything Randy Michaels does, and all his speculation is that anything RM does will fail. This is not news.
 
The label "Spoken Word" is a pathetic attempt to make a talk or sports station sound more sophisticated. It's NEWS, TALK, or SPORTS, or maybe even RELIGIOUS. But "Spoken Word?"

What would you think if someone said this:
When I have a problem with my cable or satellite I try to reach someone via the "spoken word."
We like to use the "spoken word" to communicate to our children and at work.
SPOKEN WORD FM 101.1
 
Can someone please summerize for those of us who can't aford Jerry's outragous fees?

Agreed. JDC is a desperate man trying to make a living by creating rumors and having poor suckers subscribe to his madness.

@Recto: Maybe all-news could be, as Jerry would call him, Fa-greed has in the cards for 94.7? ::)

I don't know why they'd switch 94.7 to news as they are currently doing well, but never assume that Cumulus won't make the wrong move.

I mean Cumulus buying 101.1 FM for "News and Information" not flip 94.7. I know Cumulus 2 weeks ago said that they will sell 55 stations to cover the debt of the Citadel purchase.

If they're trying to sell stations why would they buy 101.1?

Now, seriously, could a 24/7 Dance station be feasible on a Class-B FM signal covering the entire metro and make money doing it?
In what Top-20 market is a Dance station operating on a Class B or C signal (not rimshot) and doing well financially?

I think NOT! Even WLUW, a non-comm., doesn't do Energy 24/7 like it did years ago! Dance should have been put on 87.7, though, and
Alternative brought back to 101.1! "FM News" is destined to fail, WBBM Newsradio 780/105.9 is the market dominator in News!

I agree with what you're saying, but wouldn't a dance station have higher ratings than FM News 101.1?
Heck, dead air may do better....oh wait.

How about the sounds of ocean waves rolling up on shore? WCFL did it. :D
 
Ok guys! When the station first came on the air it was pretty nasty. A real joke. I must say in the last few months they have improved. However, I don't think Chicago needs another news station. I would like a dance, lounge sound (Sinatra and friends), soft ac (like WFEZ) or smooth jazz in place of the current format. However, if you are going to news, a national news outlet would be better.
Their ratings are awful and by now they should of shown an upward climb. I guess Chicago likes it Newsradio 780. Just Sayin!
