But now what will we all talk about?

Lets take nominations as to what our next "it" station is...you know, one that everybody loves but no one listens to.
 
Now...A Thinkingman Flashback

July 22, 2005:

"WHP 580 is showing its 'vulnerability' by posting another first-place finish 12+. Obviously WHYL is taking it four-tenths of a point at a time. Won't be long before their positioner is "THE former talk station."

Somewhere, Ed Schultz and Tom Leykis are softly weeping...

Well, PastyWhiteBoy, if you're so smart, let's see if you can guess which news service the new WHYL 960 is going to employ once they switch that blowtorch over to the Moldy Oldies.

Now, Im curious. Why would you think they are going to change news services ? AND while Im at it, I would think that you have parents, as you appear to be a small child. Ask them what they think of the Moldy Oldies.

Hey, I dig the Moldy Oldies. Growing up in New York and rooting for Joe DiMaggio, bottles of soda were a nickel, the rickety old fan trying to keep me cool in the sweltering city nights. Anytime I can hear that muted trumpet wah-wah'ing through that string section...I mix up a martini, throw on a nice tie, grab my best dame, and cut up that floor. As for the news services, it was a setup for my good friend PastyWhiteThighs to once again plug the excellent La Magazina Spanish news network, of which I am part owner. Viva La Magazina!!!

Hasta banana.
 
WHYL....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I get some sick pleasure from seeing speculation from know-it-all sales people of different stations :)<P ID="signature">______________

Re: WHYL....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Earlier this year, a whole slate of radio geeks got puffy about a station powered by a double-A battery that ostensibly was supposed to make a tremendous stand against the evil corporate bohemoth WHP 580. Well, if you take the sum total of WHYL's 12+ books, it STILL won't equal a 1-share. Imaging was wholly nonexistent, the marketability was nil, the talk lineup reflected a programming philosophy that was either a) extremely fractured or b) conceived by a six-year-old. Only now does the radio station actually seem to be serving its audience, by abandoning talk altogether and returning to music.

Let's quote Mak from February 24, 2005:

"WHYL's presentation is horiffic. (sic) Okay, great, you've got a few B LEVEL people in the lineup, but nothing too interesting...The station sounds loose and unprofessional. Sure, as a radio guy that is going to stand out, but listen to WHP and how tight everything is over there. On HYL it sounds like everything was just thrown together."

BulkEraser from February 20, 2005:

"The problem I see with 960 is identity. They have not met the challenge of branding themselves. This mixed talk format has been tried dozens of times all over the nation, and the radio graveyard is full of stations just like it."

At no point were the issues addressed by Mak or BulkEraser approached. The station was as unremarkable, sloppy, and unprofitable on Day One as it will be on its final breath. Bring on the Glenn Miller Orchestra!
 
Sources tell me the flip is coming Wednesday and will again feature "Breakfast with Ben". Ben Barber. Hmmm....seems to me I've read this book before....
