Hot 97 Boston Coming Back This Fall!!!

[rapking]

good idea to have it put back on 97.7, but my idea, is put ABC Radio Network "The Touch" on 97.7 24/7, simple as that!!!


ABC Radio Network "The Touch" been around since .....??? around mid 90s. So, they are the Original, and ........hmmmm???, more, professional sounding. They play a good variety of R&B and Oldschool R&B. It would be the best move, if Entercom did that

that's just my idea

If entercom does put on The Touch format this fall ( Urban A/C ). The best stunt will be a soulful Christmas music format. Christmas Music from R&B artists Boys2Men,Gladys Knight,TLC,Nat King Cole,Mariah Carey and Ashanti. And then flip it to The Touch format between December 26 and New Year day . Will this happen ? NO ! Why ? Because Boston's Out of Town Radio Groups, are still in The Boston Bussing 70's .

no room for aLPFM inside 128. If under 100 watts TTK.s IBOC will blow it out of the water. Maybe Rapking has a friend in Web Design who pur up the site just to get a raise from all of us.

;D

Well there's not much local on terrestrial radio anymore either.

And that one of many reasons I like pirate radio .

their MySpace page... just got a 'friend' request

This should be a fun one to watch!

If enough people believe this silly rumor (a station that doesn't even have an application or CP on file with FCC to operate a full powered station to serve Boston at 97.1), the sun will cease nuclear fission.

I cant' believe anyone would have enough time to create an elaborate Myspace page to perpetuate this crap!

Some of the other pirate stations on the air in Boston have full websites, MySpace pages, etc...

We have at least a dozen pirates (AM and FM) already on the air around Boston without any licenses, applications, CP's, etc... what's to stop this one?

I love these type topics. Awesome! Until the FCC rethink their approach to the PUBLIC airwaves and devise a fair and balance way in which all demographics in every market an be equally served then what pirate radio stations are doing is nothing more than when people of good conscience marched illegally in the streets of Selma and beyond in protests of a flawed, unfair, and corrupt system. It’s unacceptable to have un-served and underserved segment of any community by users of the so-called PUBLIC airwaves. Again, I think the only ones amongst us who will ever feel some sort of injustice is being perpetrated by these pirate stations are the elitists empty suits amongst us who do not value the quality of life of those who live in certain parts of this country and do not enjoy the simple ability of turning on a radio and listening to programming which caters to them and their friends and family on our so-call public airwaves. I view pirate radio stations all over the country as forms of civil disobedience / civil protects. Furthermore; I view those who operate them as nothing less than modern day civil rights activists. So, this sounds like pretty good news to me. I hope it is something that is very much for real. Unfortunately, a myspace page or even an actual website doesn’t mean very much today, especially when they can so easily be made. I did checkout that myspace page you posted and I like it. Reading the many comments just shows how unfair the FCC rules and guidelines are in that so many individuals all representing one specific demographics feel so disenfranchised by the current makeup of the airwaves in this market. So, they got my support for what it’s worth, well that is if anything ever comes of it all. Hell. I still enjoy listening to that Touch 106.1 online www.myspace.com/touch_fm. However; I have to admit that they are far less menacing and divisive as some of you would have lead readers of this forum to believe. Again, it reflects the elitism mentality of some of the members of these types of forums. Maybe an FCC under the Barack Obama administration will take a look at this unfair age ole and outdated way of thinking about the so-called PUBLIC airwaves and how it is not being used for the PUBLIC good. That might be another reason among many to vote Obama for president.

 

[rapking]

Alert the feds. Illegal, illegal, illegal. (I just e-mailed Greater Media. Advance notice of a station
about the break the law. Going on the air in Boston at the adjacent frequency to WTKK?
These guys are either very brazen or very, very stupid.

"Ain't no stoppin' us now" (a midi file of the McFadden & Whitehead hit) plays in the background as
this apparent pirate station "counts down" to its debut (49 days from now). "We the best" the
site proclaims (hey, what grade did they get in English?)

>>They'd be much better off on 97.3 or 96.5

WJFD New Bedford or WMLL Manchester NH might have a complaint there.

New DJ Khaled CD called " We Global "available Tuesday ( 9.16.08 ) . LOL. DJ Khaled The man whom made " We the best " phrase famous .

So, MORE government interference is the way to move our capitalistic society forward?

Ok, the FCC says "ok, there must be one of every format on in each market"...what happens when the station that plays rock decides they don't want to play Sublime anymore...now someone complains to the FCC and since they forced every format on a market, are they going to force music within those formats on the market, too? How about stopset length, voiceguys/girls, jocks, station names? Where do you draw the line??

 

[rapking]

My opinion The FCC get a grade F . FCC made these stupid rules to make it hard for small and local companies to own a radio station, and then FCC can't police there own stupid rules. Big radio companies are giving the radio listeners and their employee the finger, and FCC does nothing about it. F the listerers, F the radio jobs, F the local programs, and F COL, and these big companies wonder why they are not making much money like they used to. I like to add a F to the FCC ! Pirate today, Pirate tomorrow, and Pirate forever ! Thank God, I quit my radio job !

 

[mistermicrophone]

Thank God, I quit my radio job !

With all due respect, that whole elitist capitalistic gibberish is irrelevant. No one pays much attention to that recycled sound bite about capitalism anymore. Simply put, the public airwaves should be used for the public good and should in part represent programming reflective of the demographics of each individual market and not just a monolithic white audience. After all, the airwave in theory belongs to everyone and not just any particular demographics irrespective of profitability. I know this logic might be hard to grasp on these type of discussion boards as these boards are primarily representative of the demo who have benefitted from the FCC outdated rules and guidelines. Thus your points of views are not only transparent, but expected. Btw; what I am advocating is not more FCC regulations, but less, so much for MORE government.

It’s actually unthinkable to have a lawful process by which the so-called PUBLIC is dominated by special interests dollars over the rights of the people who are suppose to be the owners of such airwaves. Additionally, that whole “Where do you draw the line??” nonsense died a long time ago. I think you elitist type once used it when arguing against abolishing slavery, women rights, and a host of other unjust laws. “If you free them where do you draw the line??” “If you allow them to vote where do you draw the line??”…..next thing you know they might want to run for president. C’mon?

At every turn in our current capitalists society government has placed safeguards on society for the public good. So, your argument at its core is not only elitist, but invalid and represents a trojan horse type argument. That same argument can be made about every single facet of government structure and even many in the private sector. So, I always get a kick out of when you elitist empty suite types run for cover under that age old outdated rhetoric about capitalism.

As rapking suggests, pirate radio is the public’s best hope in challenging the FCC’s flawed rules and regulations and the powerful conglomerates who dominate and misuses the PUBLIC airwaves for their own benefit while infringing on the rights of smaller under representative audiences. It’s a simple question of fairness and like all matters of fairness; the group which is not being infringed upon is always the ones who support the status quo.

Since there are operating costs involved in running a radio stations, how do you simply discard the issue of profitability? Do we make every frequency non-com?

As for turning my "where do you draw the line" question regarding how the FCC should govern the airwaves into a tirade about slavery shows YOUR ignorance on this issue. It was a legitimate question that was answered with plenty of style and very little substance, much like most of your posts.

So, how should the "airwaves" be governed and the frequencies distributed by owner/format so that every demo gets served properly? What is YOUR solution?? Did I phrase my question right as to not offend any races or genders?
