The end of o-rock 105.9 that is. WOCL is now running a syndicated car advice call in show called Auto Scoop on Saturday mornings. The hosts even welecomed their new Orlando station this morning too. I like how the board op at WOCL is saying that you are going to learn things on this show. She's trying to pretend that there's nothing wrong with the station. Well, one thing I think we all learned is that (as if we didn't know already) cbs radio (formally infinity) does not how to program any station that Howard Stern left last year at all. Not to mention other stations that didn't carry him that they should have just left alone (WCBS-FM in New York comes to mind). IMHO, watch for more talk programing programing to spread throught the broadcast day (and night). Watch for WJRR to gain whatevers left of WOCL's music listeners. Watch for them to change their name to free-fm 105.9 (or 105.9 free-fm). And watch for the ratings book that does not list them because their ratings were too low to register :mad:
 
Well, I'm glad...

I listened to O-rock last week and found it vomitlicious...

JRR and Real Radio just do rock better...

Well as much as I think I'm ready for WOCL to throw in the towel, it looks like the AutoScoop thing is more of a national effort. The program airs on other music-formatted FM stations around the country according to the station's website link, just maybe not more than maybe half a dozen or so stations though. Seems to be a "filler" for early morning Saturday programming that the local station can use to tie up a local automotive sponsor for in the meantime.

But WOCL is still dying a slow death, nevertheless. There's got to be some significant reason management hasn't doing anything about it. Sure it might be sales, but could they really be billing high enough to make someone upstairs just look the other way? Is there some off-the-wall protection theory that it currently provides another station that I'm not thinking of? (Mix or Jamz are the only other two CBS outlets here.)
 
I can't listen to that station anymore because of their new personality based programming. I didn't listen to the Real Radio DJ's when they were on their old station, and I don't want to listen to them now.

The only difference between WOCL and WJRR nowadays is different lousy djs.

I hate that there's no regular station that plays the style of music 104.1 plays on the weekends. You hear more new music there on the weekend than you do on the other stations all week long.
 
WTKS once had some really decent DJ's on the weekend. But that was three owners ago. The only decent one IMHO left is Eric Dennison. Most of the time when they play music (overnights and early weekend mornings) it's automated. If you want to hear the kind of music WTKS plays and a whole lot more, I suggest investing in a Sirius satellite radio. The music there is commercial free.
