Slash,

Why do you waste so much time listening to these stations if it only leads you to uncontrolled fits of rage.
Tune your radio to another station or you are going to have a stroke.

Dude, c'mon now.
 
I don't know why I do it...I think I have a problem. I guess I WANT TO tune in one day to "A BIG SLEAZY" station, and be like, "wow"! Hasn't happened yet, probably never will. I have a dream....
 
The only one worth listening to is WEKZ-AM.
No one else plays Classic Country, except for WLUV on an irregular basis.
 
OK then, if you have a dream to help the stations of BIG, why not get a job there?

It seems pretty clear to all three of us that listen, that they have a limited number of voices on the stations.

Maybe you could be the spark that sends them to enlightened new heights?

Or just follow my original idea and stop listening, and therefore, no more fits of uncontrolled rage.
Sounds pretty simple to me.
 
Peteandrepeat, or Mr. Conway -

The only dream I have, is that Jimmy Douglas hangs up the headphones, and moves to Neverland Ranch where he deserves to be.
I'm not angered, I'm amused.
Oh, wait, idea....Bill Johnson mornings!!! Problem solved.

Tim Conway?

I don't know no Pete Conway.

Sorry.

Pete Conroy is that you? I think Slash aka John S/Captain Jack misspelled your name. How are you Pete? Still living in Lena?
 
I am new to this board, but was amazed to see so much heated discussion of "Big Radio". I live in Freeport and I seldom listen to the stations because I don't like the mish-mash format that seems to permeate all by the Monroe AM station - IMHO, 93.7 plays the sappiest, crappiest, least interesting music of all time. Ir reminds me of why I love XM.

But the format must work, or at least is not a turn-off for the real advertisers, who buy because of local news, local sports, and "big" presence. Thompson's strategy clearly is to cross-sell among the various formats to reach different demos. 93.7 used to pop up with a 0.5 share in the Madison Arbitrons, but no more since he's taken the "region" focus. I think he deserves credit for identifying that there is a regional connection between Freeport and Monroe that could be exploited, something no one else ever did, and adding the Freeport sticks just made sense. He can't go north and Freeport can't go east - so there's "the region".

Now if he'd just put CC's "RealOldies1690" format on WFRL!
