Fuzion 100 Morning Move

poledo said:
I bet your an Anime fan too...

Until today I was ignorant enough to think that Japanese and South Korean pop culture were the same thing. Didn't even know they spoke different languages...

I think it's pretty safe to suggest that all comercial Alabama radio stations stick with North American and European music. Don't really think Asian would work anywhere except Bayou La Batre... you know, that town OBama can't pronounce.

Eh, I can take it or leave it. :)

How did OBama say BLB? I love it when public figures mangle names like that. I think it started when Dan Rather called Sylacauga "Silla-KOO-gah"!

I'm actually surprised there's not some native language programming on radio targeting Asians in south Alabama or south Mississippi. When I was in Gulfport and Biloxi there were tons of Asian markets, restaurants and people around. I guess some of it's Keesler and some is shrimping.

The rest of Alabama has to make-do with Hispanic minorities, I guess. Probably none in Fuzion's coverage area. ;)
 
Honestly, I think a lower powered AM or non-commercial FM station broadcasting Korean language programming in the Gump just might work - with all the Hyundai-related presence here. (No slurs intended)

He made several attempts to pronounce both "bayou" and "batre", each one made me madder and more offended for speaking to the country about this area so unprepared. I believe he settled on "baiter" for "Batre", he may have eventually figured out "bayou". He had the US Surgeon General, a life long resident of the town, next to him trying to tell him how to pronounce it. He didn't listen.

Then all my life I've had to deal with west coast and Yankee jerks saying "MO-bile" (as in mobile phone or mobile oil) while laughing. Never understood why they would assume I'd think it was funny.

An Asian block formatted AM with a good salt water path along the gulf might? might? work??? Dunno. I know that a significant number of Vietnamese refugees were transplanted here in the 1970's. They came here because they knew how to fish, but it seems there are less and less after each hurricane. Ft Walton seems to have a whole bunch of Koreans that came to the area with children of American soldiers after we exited the war over there. I assume many entire extended Korean families came instead of just one woman and one child per soldier that couldn't keep it in his pants.

Of course none of this would work in Selma. I think they should just let RDP try to program the station and see if he can draw an audience.
 
Fat chance of that happening. 

Ha Ha!!!  :D 

My presentation would tick too many people off.

The owners would bow to the complaints and have me fired within months.

After the firing, I would be looking for a new way to return to radio for my third time.

That's the way it is.

P.S. Besides Christian radio's best success, in this area, is better served by staying non-commercial.  I just don't see how WMGY is making it on a flea powered AM signal and WVRV is making it on a low powered FM repeater.  Those two examples are mind boggling to me.  Despite their weak signal and small coverage areas, It's good to see them chugging along and doing what they do best.  Wish for them to have continued success.

B.T.W. Thanks for the suggestion Poledo.  Wish I could entertain the idea but it would never work out.  I would be better served if I did a 24 hour a day presentation of CCM, on my own LPFM set up. 
 
Re: Doug and Josh > I was punching around the truck radio yesterday and music was being played at 12:20 yesterday afternoon. I didn't punch around today. Question: Where were Doug and Josh? I am not a regular Fusion listener. Are they gone?
 
On a more serious note, what will happen to Fuzion, should they drop their current presentation?  ???

Inquiring minds want to know.
