HOW ANGRY IS TOO ANGRY?

Sister stations? I admit I haven't heard WMAL recently, but I think these two sisters are and always have been totally different things,
while they could be "corporate sisters". That I'll allow. That BOTH Chicago and DC SHOULD be the responsibility of
one person?

They duplicate each other with ABC/Citadel plug-n-play net programs 60-70 percent of the time. Overseeing two morning acts and an in-brief lead into Rush shouldn't be too taxing. I've heard that in the past program directors used to program a whole day!

Two great sticks being horribly mismanaged--a topic undoubtedly worthy of its own thread.

Kids,

Good evening from Washington, where I'll be wall-to-wall for the rest of the week...checking-in to collect spitballs y'all toss here rarely-if-at-all between-now-and-the-weekend.

So -- if we haven't had-this-conversation-to-death by now -- carry-on without me, knowing that I'm not ignoring you.

I really do LIVE for this.

PS: And SPEAKING of Washington: Oh-how-the-mighty-have-fallen. As the bloodbath continues at once-great WMAL here, the station will now SHARE a program director with its sister station IN CHICAGO.

'NOT being catty pointing-that-out. My client here isn't a radio station. But, during the 7 years I did program in this market, WMAL was a formidable competitor. Now it's a dang repeater.

A bankrupt Citadel now sees the Salem network of stations as its eventual blueprint. Possibly even a step further to the K-Love network. They own so many heritage sticks in huge cities. Those signals deserve better.
