Is It just me, or do listeners....really give a c---???
I jumped in my car and was tuned to KIOT with Erica..no music (which Is why I listen to radio for, Music).. she was talking about (Why girls love bad boys) I immediatley tuned out to the next station a CHR station, and they were talking about "40% of women Feel no romance in their Lives" , again do i give a c--- ???. Back to KIOT she is still talking about bad boys..a total of 22 minutes went by and no music on KIOT...I have noticed they have gone thru some changes lately and looks like they went from bad to worse, even thou their numbers are up . a couple of years ago this station got better...now they are going backwards.
I proceeded to 104.7 classic country, and thankfully they were playing music. had KIOT been talking about a subject related to clasic Rock or the Artists, that would have caught my ear...I read recently in Billboard ..in 2010..concert revenue, U2 has been the biggest act , followed by AC/DC..something like that for 30 seconds would have been great , then some music...but "why girls love bad boys , please.
Forty years ago this month a DJ in El Cajon, Ca debuted a weekly TOP 40 syndicated show that became one of the most successful shows in the history of radio, and, he became an icon... Casey Kasem. His formula...play the music and give us a quick, interesting tidbit about the song or artist or writer or story behind the song. the listeners loved It.
Before they cleaned house a few months back, 104.7 was talking too much in the morning, really painful to listen too...and recently, It seems to me??? that they got a little older in the rotation, which I liked, so i am back to listening a little more, and if I am not mistaken they are neck and neck with the other two country stations. Is Albuquerque ripe for another FM Classic country station ???
And I tuned in to KKSS FM and their girl DJ was taking calls about how many tattoo's on your body...some girl called in that all 32 tattoo's on her body, had some significant detail of her life...wow, just to deep for me , so I moved on.
98.5 format is getting younger and it's working...at a 10 year low 2.7 trend that's exactly 50% drop in 5 years...they have made that commitment....how low will they go, before their decision starts paying off, numbers wise , their traffic hasn't dipped , the advertisers are still there, but the listeners aren't...... Abq is ripe for a new FM oldies station...but oh, I forgot Oldies are dead...someone forgot to tell every fast food joint , restaurant, hotel, bar I go into..they are playing that dead format Oldies.
Hey I am just a frustrated listener...venting....I gave up on stations request for listener feedback which is then totally ignored...
good day..........Radio-less in Seattle.
