WDJO can't be an easy sale. The audience is small and it's difficult for advertisers to see results. I think DJO is doing everything they can to make a go of it. I'm just glad I don't own an AM station. Especially on the right side of the dial. With the switch to talk and 70's music I find myself listening less. But then I'm not the target demo anymore.

The perfect AM station in the morning - give me a host/dj with personality, a true newscast, live traffic from a copter, some sports, some entertainment and music. I don't know when it happened or who said AM is dead, but when you have the same drone (white noise) or a heavily edited/voicetracked train wreck, you lose the audience. The consolidation of all of the major AM's by one company killed this market and talent.
I listen to various stations (commercial and non) along with iheart and pandora. The change on WDJO is a little noticable but it can be expanded from what it is (And was nice to hear it not switch to night pattern a little longer last night).
As for Imus, are the topics more late night Cunningham-ish at times? Yes. He does get the guests. That's the see saw that any station carrying Imus has to ride. I hope DJO, along with Real Talk and other stations hang on. That's the spirit of radio. Not even one's cup of tea. We could go back to the late 60's and have Percy Faith on WLW but that's not gonna happen.

As for Imus, he appeals to an older demo..the 62 + male, for whom even Cialis won't do the job.
Neil Young, GONE?
No way.....
Neil's still here but as for radio (read his last line):

That's exactly what I had quoted.
Everyone knows who KRC and WLW are.jry said:
Perhaps the target audience for DJO has already had their auto keys taken away from them by a concerned relative. "Now dad, you know you ran over your second crossing guard last week, and the week before, you backed into my Subaru. My Subaru, dad! I love that Subaru. It tells everyone where we stand on so many issues."
