Giving New Meaning To The Term "Breaking Into Radio": Which Station Was This?

Re: Giving New Meaning To The Term "Breaking Into Radio": Which Station Was This?

The 1300 block of Coolidge Rd is home to KXRO, KXXK and KDUX. I would think one of the latter two...

Wow, what a witty thread title. How many days did it take for you to come up with it? ::)
 
Re: Giving New Meaning To The Term "Breaking Into Radio": Which Station Was This?

IT WASN'T ME! I SWEAR!
 
Re: Giving New Meaning To The Term "Breaking Into Radio": Which Station Was This?

@Crain: Well, KDUX is the rocker - unless the man was really hammered and decided to hit up the country station (KXXK)...
 
Re: Giving New Meaning To The Term "Breaking Into Radio": Which Station Was This?

It's all in one building, just like mine. KXRO, KXXK, KDUX, KWOK. Owned by Morris Communications. We aired the story, but for some reason, the stations involved didn't.

Only in the hometown of Kurt Cobain... 8)

Only if the guy had a thumb drive of albums by The Melvins.....

Perhaps the stations involved didn't receive approval to air the story from the proper authorities.

Which also raises the question did the kid not get the music on the air because the corporate programmer nixed the playlist?
 
Re: Giving New Meaning To The Term "Breaking Into Radio": Which Station Was This?

Hilarious. And if he was quoted correctly, he knew the radio station's imaging. That is a plus!
 
Re: Giving New Meaning To The Term "Breaking Into Radio": Which Station Was This?

If he knew the station's immaging and was trying to program a rock block, all signs point to KDUX. The first time I heard KDUX I was like, OK, is KZOK running this station? I thought it might be a shadowcast at first because it's like exactly the same immaging.
 
Re: Giving New Meaning To The Term "Breaking Into Radio": Which Station Was This?

First of all..."imaging" has one m, Bob.

Secondly...there's no real story here, kids. The dimbulb who broke in couldn't program a VCR, let alone the computers that run everything. He was just looking for some publicity by hearing his name on his favorite station.
 
Re: Giving New Meaning To The Term "Breaking Into Radio": Which Station Was This?

Well in the end, SOMEBODY should have been at the radio station cluster on the weekends to notice something amuck going on. This dimwit wouldn't even have made it through the window.

This guy also knew there was probably nobody inside the station building on the weekends. Wonder how that happened?

The article seems to give the impression nobody was in the building and that it was an outside observation of "suspicious' activity. That doesn't jive with the kind of description an actual employee of the station would have given of a first hand face to face (or fist to face) confrontation that person would have gotten had somebody been inside the station......

Interesting...

Yes, interesting in how many clusters in smaller markets operate with no one in the building overnight. This is sad, and just plain bad business behavior. But it is the reality in smaller markets, and perhaps in many medium markets.

It's like Fort Knox. They have personnel there after hours. Not that they do a whole lot productively night after night, weekends and holidays and some of the go-getting business-types may even question why tax money is even spent on something so wasteful.

But when you consider the alternative (even with every high tech surveillance gadget out there), a "savvy business" question like that becomes immaterial. Quickly. There NEEDS to be people there.

Period.

Larry - It's NOTHING like Fort Knox. Especially in a small market.

And it's REALLY easy to bloviate about staffing levels when you're not the one paying for them.
