Jackson in the Morning on Mix 94.5?

JJ Jackson sucks. Just another half wit mouth piece phoning it in from the Ville. Management at MIX has taken a once great station and sent it down the shitter. All in the name of cost cutting I suppose. Dale O'Brien was number one with that stations target when they blew him out...moronic. Now it's just a station full of hollow voices that will yammer whatever horse shit CC tells them too. And the music on that station is so screwed up, it wouldn't matter who was on--it's awful. I'm sure the music's done out of the Ville too.. by some Clear Channel tool with his head so far up some VP's ass, all that's left is a pair of cheap shoes. Screw the lot of them. Their doomed.

Hmm, anyone else think this is a bitter Lexington Clear Channel employee or former employee? ;D

BITTER PARTY OF ONE YOUR TABLE IS NOW READY!

Don't blame Jackson for getting paid to do a job that is asked of him. It's not his fault.

Golly gee, Ted, how do you really feel? :eek:

You might want to go back and review recent ratings. WMXL had been a shadow of it's previous self the past several years and it could be (likely) the previous P.D. was the reason, which would explain why he's not there anymore (or, should we say why *you* aren't there anymore?). I'd been through Lexington on the way to the Carolinas several times and my impression was not a good one. I've heard them maybe once this year and thought they sounded OK.

If you have a problem with some people at Clear Channel, perhaps you should be an adult and address it directly and personally with them instead of flaming your face off and looking like a bitter, mediocre radio hack.
 
Dale O'Brian was one of the problems at that station...There was a host of others as well....Dale is a talented guy, but had lost his passion and work ethic...Music is not being done out of Louisville..It's being programmed in Lexington by one of the other PD's in the building....The station hasn't been great in a while, but I think they are sounding as well as they can at the moment...It is Clear Channel, so it justs sounds like every other AC in the country

Like it or not, there is nothing false concerning the above statement. You CC boys can disagree with it until you are big blue in the face, but facts are facts. Hell, an entire book could be written concerning the failures of CC Louisville and Lexington alone!

Yes there is. What's false about the statement is him saying Jackson sucks and is a half wit mouth piece.

Then, please, back up your *facts* with evidence. We're eagerly waiting to hear the total truth from you.

one more thing, winterstinger......................a quick look at the ratings appears to show CC basically OWNS both markets. We can have a discussion regarding what we don't like about clear channel but the *FACTS* are they dominate Lex and Louisville

Have a sales person pull up 25-54 persons, the only real demo that indicates success for most stations. Consistently over the past several years clear channel has the highest collective shares and a look at a miller-kaplan would tell you cc takes over 60% of the revenue out of the market. sixty percent.

do your homework, will you, and stop looking a a 12+ trend from R&R to make such definitive statements.

Oh, is that why you post anonymous insults about Dale O'Brien? Because you're such an "adult"?
 
Criticizing JJ Jackson doesn't get to the heart of the problem. He was pretty much told that he's going to voicetrack mornings on MIX in Lexington. You certainly can't lay the blame on the PD of the station, either. He's trying to juggle 4 of the cluster's stations and he's doing the very best job he can, given the circumstances and with minimal staff. The problem starts with some of the decisions made by management between CC Lexington & CC Louisville. It's a shame that the FM frequency with the longest heritage in that market is just being wasted. I'm not going to criticize the current air talent on MIX, either because they're just trying to do the job they were given. Granted, they may not be the best talent in the market but they had two choices: either voicetrack the shift they were told to track or find a new job. I'm very curious to find out what happens after the Spring book advances roll in.
 
I've met J.J. and he's a good guy. Long before the meeting I submitted an aircheck of his work at WQXI to Reelradio. If you have a subscription give it a listen. He is a good jock.

However, if he is having to juggle more than one show then performance flaw are not his fault. We have to think of the Vice Presidents and their precious end of year bonuses.
 
Well after finding out who Indydood was (Louie's PD) I can see why he said all those bad things about Dale O'brian (a former Carolina boy). I haven't seen Indydood on here anymore...guess he went back to researching Miller Kaplan and making these lame excuses in person and with a real name to CC Brass. What an Idiotdude.
 
JJ seems like a nice guy - never met him though. It's sad that it was all about personal issues that led to Dale O'Brian getting the boot. The Louie PD out of CC Louisville was the one that was really handling the programming for MIX 94.5 and was trying to take the station in a direction to make it sound more like Louie instead of the kind of hot AC it should be. Dale committed the mortal sin of daring to question the "wisdom" of the Louisville programming braintrust.
