If this really happens to 104.5

If CC has the [*EDIT]to put any brand of Hispanic crap on 104.5, that is the end for radio in this rathole city. The dial is OVER saturated with urban product as it is now. The losers on the other white meat board are dripping at this drek on 106.1, if it were any form of rock, you would hear them crying to their mommas. We now have to give up Christmas music for this Spanish bull, I wish the Irish were treated this royal years back, I know I should of taken Spanish in High School. And I hate it when these narrow minded hoods tell me to get Satellite, I DONT WANT IT, nor should I depend on it to hear what I want. These [**EDIT] come here and dictate what is to be put on the airwaves and the liberal suits oblige. Why should these minorities have their way, when the White Race is the minority in 2050, will we get the whole dial back...fraid not.

>If CC has the [EDIT] to put any brand of Hispanic crap on 104.5, that is the end for radio in this rathole city.

Is that a literal or figurative statement?

>The dial is OVER saturated with urban product as it is now.

If by urban you mean R&B, than yes, you are correct. However, a Spanish format undoubtedly attracts a different demographic than the one to whom Rap/ Hip Hop stations target. You are comparing apples to oranges.

>The losers on the other white meat board are dripping at this drek on 106.1, if it were any form of rock, you would hear them crying to their mommas.
[EDIT-profanity]

Probably not. "The other white meat" most likely are celebrating the addition of a new station...not the subtraction of the smooth jazz format. I would assume that "the other white meat" most likely did not listen to smooth jazz, so a format switch from one format to which they did not listen to another format to which they would not listen would not likely cause an uproar...or as you put it, "crying to their mommas."

>We now have to give up Christmas music for this Spanish bull,

Perhaps not. We will still have the "B" for our sounds of the season, and as of this moment, no switch to a Spanish format is certain.

>I wish the Irish were treated this royal years back,

I suppose if Marconi invented the radio before the days of the potato famine, you would have a valid argument.

>I know I should of taken Spanish in High School.

Actually, you would want to write "I should have taken Spanish." Nonetheless, I took Spanish in high school, and yet I would not choose to listen to a Spanish format. In other words, another moot point on your part.

>And I hate it when these narrow minded hoods tell me to get Satellite, I DONT WANT IT, nor should I depend on it to hear what I want.

Making a blanket statement such as "narrow minded hoods" makes you sound narrow minded yourself. Sirius radio doesn't typically attract narrow minded folks, conversely, it tends to attract those of us who are the opposite of narrow minded. We seek many formats and choices, not the mundane sound of FM radio. Just because you don't think you should have to tune to satellite radio to hear what you want doesn't mean that you won't have to do just that. The landscape of the FM dial has changed, whether or not you accept it or not.

>These border jumpers come here and dictate what is to be put on the airwaves and the liberal suits oblige.

Not exactly. The border jumpers don't dictate anything to the liberal suits. The liberal suites only seize the opportunity to target a new audience in order to $ell their product(s). It's simple economics...supply and demand. You should be smarter than that.

>should these minorities have their way, when the White Race is the minority in 2050, will we get the whole dial back...fraid not.

One potential FM Spanish format in a city with a large population of hispanics hardly constitues the appropriation of the entire dial!

I understand your frustration and am also concerned with the changing face of America, but your fallacies were so obvious and apparent that I couldn't help myself.
 
does clear channel operate any hispanic formatted FM stations in major markets now? if so--- what and where?

94.9 WMGE Miami, Florida is a CC owned Spanish station in a major market.

And there's also VIVA 105.7/96.7 in Atlanta.

I think Philly deserves an in-market Spanish Station instead of a rimshotter station.

Dont forget what they did to the legendary KLOL in Houston.

LOL, indeed....

Not to mention KSJO in San Jose.
 
If I was a betting man...

Option #1:
I am thinking there are about 300,000-350,000 hispanic people living in the Philly Metro. The TSL would go through the roof (like WPPZ)...but, what kind of rates could you get? WPPZ might be getting $200 per :60 in prime. That's not big Philadelphia radio $...but, didn't the Hispanic Station in NYC just go #1? If you are thinking long term this might be a viable option.


Option #2:
If you look at a median age chart for Philly you will see a giant void between the ages of 24 and 31...I call it the "Y100 gap". I think the 24 is WUSL and the 31 is WYSP. There is a significant amount of "underserved" white suburban kids between the ages of 24 and 31...I think they are the bitchers on this board...and, as you can tell, they are real fickel. A commercial "rock" station says to me a lot of Knickelback...which no one wants to hear. Plus, the beer compliance rules now (life blood of a young rock station) means you cannot skew young...if you want that 24-31 audience you better have a deep play list with a lot of "oh wow's"...I cannot see that happening. It would be your classic over-tested, high rotation hits-rock.

Factor in cost of running in each format...automated spanish vs. promotionally intensive young rock with live jocks.

My guess is there is a 3rd option that none of us are considering.
 
It is a disgrace what Clear Channel is doing. Any song now being played on 106.1 can be heard else where on multiple stations........and it is CRAP. Spanish on 104.5.....NO!!! Put Sunny back on at least they play stuff you could not find on other stations......same as with Smooth Jazz. Also who is really going to listen to Whoopie.........she could not even keep her sit com on TV for one season...I watched it a couple of times and all she did was bash Bush and.......get the idea......Her radio show will probally be the same thing.

Now if this CRAP continues on 106.1 and we do indeed get the dreaded Spanish on 104.5 we are now left with 2 less choices on the FM band (for American speaking listeners).......Thanks to Radio One and now Clear Channel the unique stations doing something different are gone. Lets just hope Greater Media does something 'different' with 97.5 (although I hate to see the Free Beer -n- Hot Wings show go along with the Hawk)

Everyone one 'picks' on Ben FM but atleast they play a good variety of MUSIC (not crap rap) from different genres.........you know the way radio use to be.......remeber WIFI 92 ??? ...BEN is really coming around.
 
"Now if this CRAP continues on 106.1 and we do indeed get the dreaded Spanish on 104.5 we are now left with 2 less choices on the FM band (for American speaking listeners)......."

Yeah I know what you are saying that 1061 was playing Rod Stewart this morning, have you heard all his gringo comments and the fact that he is leading the La Raza movement as we type?
 
what's really funny (and sad) is ---- clear channel and other companies likely pay big $$$ to consultants to research the market---- and come up with useless formats! (the companies and the consultants deserve each other----- as they "play" radio !)
