DID CBS JUST REGISTER AMPRADIODFW.COM?

I hope they go thru with the flip too. ;D

It won't be The Fan, maybe MEGA.

Why do you say that? The Fan is very expendable...

They just hired Chris Arnold & Julie Slater. They start next week.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"They just hired" means nothing!
Every BODY in radio is expendable...
just ask M. Davis, B. Barton, the former staff of KKDA, etc.

This is posted on a cast member of Russ Martin Show Facebook page. I guess CC's own staff calling out CC as a blind threat to CBS also.

"Trey Trenholm: we just signed new deals, so the Eagle isn't going anywhere."

Seem's ironic. If RMS just got a new contract, then why would CC be publicly saying the Eagle is completely dispensiable. Maybe they plan on Russ spinning Seals & Crofts, and Captain and Tennille??

Don't forget about The Edge or 1190.
 
While most of us do agree that 105.3 The Fan is one of the lowest rated stations. I can't see how it will fold too soon. They already got a TV spinoff on TXA 21 in the evenings. They're simulcasting on WJFK-FM 106.7 HD2 in Washington D.C. Not to mention they've just opened up The Fan Sports Bar at Victory Park in Dallas a few months ago.
 
As I've said before, CBS is bent on having a sports format in a top-five media market and won't pull the plug on The Fan until hell freezes over. It may wind up little else but syndicated programming 24/7 with local updates from personnel on the AM side, but The Fan isn't going anywhere soon.

Too bad the format swap isn't going to be a "World Famous K-Rock/Alt" switch, as this market needs less CHR/EstroPop. At least I can listen to KROQ online...

I'm still holding onto my prediction that The Fan will either flip to AM or change format by middle 2013..Here's hoping they go to Alt/Modern Rock at that point..
Why would they do that? The Edge is already there.

Competition purposes. That would mean pulling listeners away from "The Edge".

Besides, CBS already has "The Indie-Verse" on 100.3 HD3 and online.
 
As much as I'd love competition for The (not edgy at all) Edge, don't count on it from CBS. It seems they're looking to exit the modern rock format, for the most part.
 
So I guess CBS did get punked....

the edge is far edgier now than in past years I think. they seem to leave the shinedowns of the world to the eagle and are focusing more on alt rock. bringing in another alt station to take them on seems foolish. edge is a heritage station with dedicated followers judging by edgefest in the last few years
 
CBS not going to do anything... Clear Channel has them scared.
