As much as I dislike the management and some of the people at 96.5, (I do agree with most of the comments)...but someone has an obsession...wow..
There is more to life...

The feeling of twisting in the wind can't be a comfortable one for the CC folks in Kenwood. They are giving new meaning to the phrase "death by a thousand cuts"...with more cuts on the way. It's going to be a long year for the Kenwood crew.

Clear Channel is tying bonuses, contract renewals, and overall station success into the trafic their websites receive. Which is why you hear Willie and others promote the hell out of the station website, not just Kenwood but company wide.

CC is calling it Social Networking, which started last month with 7 markets and it was rolled out this month to the rest of their stations. I can't say it will drive me to their websites as they aren't very appealing to me with all of the ads and cookies they put on my computer.
reason #6,491 why CC is run by poo-flinging monkeys with ties.
why would someone RETURN to any CC site? the content is lame or recycled - picked up from youtube, drudge, or myspace. the sites themselves are HTML from 1998. the ad...oh, the ads, the mighty ads.... are unworthy of a click, let alone a second look. and who wants to see some jock's face-for-radio mug? tim lewis? hahahahahaha....
run.

I call it bull crap. Seriously, outside a few die hard radio lovers, who the heck really cares about radio anymore? Even the jocks are jokes, everyone wants to do as little as possible to get paid as much as possible.

I guess you could say it's an All American Industry.
CCU's preoccupation with social networking is indicative of the amount of energy the radio industry absolutely wastes on non-core business. The rise of "NTR" (non-traditional revenue) has drawn the energy and focus of its people away from the product, and away from proper selling of the product. If only I could have every hour back that I was forced to waste on lame promotional ideas, events no one cared about or accomodating some company cramdown on a website to avoid having it crammed on the station's air...I'd have had a lot more time to make what comes out of the speakers sound good. And my pals in the sales office would have had more time to develop the core business...selling spots. And this is not just a Clear Channel problem. This same nonsense happens all up and down the "Who Owns What" list.
All American indeed. The Wall Street ethic (or lack of ethics) has done the same fine job on American radio that it did to the American automotive industry years ago.

I'm just concerned about this obsession....
It's not healthy at all

There are many in the industry who think that internet listening is going to be a key to survival for terrestrial music stations. CC is trying to stay ahead of the curve by branding the heck out of their web site. This may be one instance where CC is actually on top of things!
