YES
 
So their making money huh! I won't believe it until I hear it from Mburg.

Atleast there's a new Jax thread on here! Panhandle posters, who speak in code, have been kicking our ass lately!

Back to Gator, what kind of answer to "are they making money?" was a simple "Yes?"

That's like me telling you YES to winning Lotto two weeks ago when I got $5.50 for three numbers!

Also WCRetc. How do you know?

The ever respectful Soup!

Start ups take time to develop and mature. Free concerts go a long way to creating awareness and that all adds to potential numbers. Are they writing orders? Yes!
But making money? The long term bet says it will take 2-3 years before Gator really takes off, but for a new station it’s doing ok..

I will be gone out of the country for a few weeks. Do you think
the Gator will be okay? How many people were at the August 12th concert?
Mburg, wcrzx, etc. Bring some sanity back to this board. The
Panama City posts are horrifying and October isn't even here yet.

Have you seen the great Gator website? Simple and right to the point
or brilliant?<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by tibbs on 08/16/05 05:54 AM.</FONT></P>
 
Yes, the panhandlers are quite annoying already. ANother arguement for that Jax only board.

I am sure the station is making some kind of money, but agreed that it takes time to really know for sure.

And just to put my two cents in on the Morning Show thing....I really like the new station, but is it me or is Dallas and Dixie sounding an awful lot like Shotgun and Dee? Maybe its just me, but with the exception of the traffic guy doing traffic, its sounding a lot like the Shotgun and Dee show on Rooster..

There were around 2,000 people for the show on Friday night. Is the station makeing money. Some. Here is the latest.

The fair was going to work with WGNE this year due to all the problems they have had with Gail at CC. Last year QIL was going to promote a show then backed out and told the fair they couldn't even advertise the show. Anyway QIK went to the fair and will pay for all the artist this year, around $50,000. I think they are scared.
 
Things change in business and that's normal. Maybe the fair buyer was negotiating and got what she really wanted, a free show!

She played similar games with WGNE Daytona too, clients lie.

I’ve spent time listening to the country stations. My guess is the average listener (most) would say they all sound similar, except WROO and QIk have more commercials. WGNE needs to stand out from the rest and their free concerts are good bet! Start ups are fun!WGNE has no place to go but up and now is when they must be bold by thinking out of the box and risk failure.

If QIK has a weakness, it’s that they have everything to lose and will be less willing to take chances. Read “Marketing Warfare” & “Positioning”
