J & M

[scranton]

disappointed in J & M in the AM, Its the noon show transplangted to 7 AM! No weather girl, traffic copter, horoscopes, farm reports, track results, newsmaker interviews, trivia, music bumpers, man on the street, entertainment reports, box office, coach in the studio I was hoping theyd bring their "A game" to this endeavour

Short of the interviews, all that stuff is formulaic generic morning radio that other stations offer. This "noon show transplant" should do just fine without all of those interruptions.

I don't know Smoke, I think they need a "weather girl" and farm reports to succeed. ;-)

Someone on boston-progressive-talk yahoo group thinks WTKK moved J&M to the am because WWZN's Ed Schulz was killing them in the ratings. I don't have the actual ratings, show-vs-show, etc., but is that believable? Wouldn't it rather be putting local talk on and getting rid of 2 hours of Grandpa (or great grandpa) Don-o?

First, I think most of the people on the "Boston-Progressive-Talk" yahoogroup are living in la-la land.....far from reality.

Second, I was under the impression that WWZN doesn't even encode their signal for the PPM...so they don't even appear in the ratings, right? They don't care if they succeed in beating others...they are ideology and agenda driven. That's why they wont succeed in the long run.

You are correct on both points.

Marj introduced a caller today by saying "WTKK boston Talks!" both boston talks and talk revolution are now used on the website

 

[raccoonradio]

I noticed the Boston talks bit--though WRKO has run a liner with Dana Hersey saying "Boston talks...on Boston's
talk station, WRKO" already

Marj called the 7 am hour "J&M Newshour". jim was out today and hank filled in during the 7 AM hour

What does that mean...."name-checked"?

 

[scranton]

there was a newsbreak at 7 am this morning between Imus and J&M

 

[raccoonradio]

name checked means he mentioned my name (nickname) on air. That was because I explained to him why there was empty space next to his column (it was part of an ad gimmick)
