Anybody enjoying it? Anybody ready for it to flip? I find myself listening every now and then in Dayton. I always thought the imaging and jingles were good... one good thing about Cumulus. It's still quite 80s-sounding for me, of course trying to steal those women from Q and Rewind. How long will it last?

Now that's just crazy talk. Heaven forbid they actually pay someone local to be a personality on a new radio station.DJJack1 said:

Obviously, you are not familiar with the work of in-house Cumulus consultant Jan Jeffries.
The station runs a tight playlist but did you see the PPM's this month, sister AC Warm 98 took a nose dive and Rewind did too. I still think there AC not hot AC. Over the past few weeks there sounding more "fresh" like. Early indications are there putting a hurt on the market. Much too the shagrin od the naysayers!
When it comes to programming a station to females 18-49 which is Journeys target, familiar is what that demo wants! I guess if it's "Bland" what you call it then it's Bland.I've never seen a successful station in that target that didn't. Males 18-49, that's a bit of a difference however humans are creature's of habit and tend to like what is familiar to them!
Sorry Elephant your right Rewind is up. 2, Warm is down .6 to a 4.4 and Journey is up. 3 to a 2.3, Journey take's a huge jump in Cume 60,000 thousand, Rewind 33,000 and Warm only 13,000 listeners. To me this is indication that Journey has hurt Rewind(And Rewind is a great station!!) Even more sister Warm 98. Of course the next few months will tell us for sure!

The 'Journey' jingles sound like they were sung in somebody's basement with old mattresses as soundproofing. They should have a lot more punch, and are a half-assed effort.
I agree, Rewind is good, I like Jay and Steve Mann. Jingles, I.D's, and liners sound tight. but the library is a bit thin. The morning guy (Hi, my name's Ray!!!!") has no substance whatsoever, other than play the same tunes that played 18 hours before. Mornings on Rewind should be a big production, with real talent, perhaps someone from Cincinnati's radio past... As a former PD, I can see so many things that could be done with Rewind, but it's little more than retro wallpaper.

I agree- I've been flipping through the stations the past couple of nights, and when I first heard Rick Dees, I had to do a double take. It is kind of sad to hear him voice tracked, as he was better back in the 80s when he did his "Rick Dee's Weekly Top 40".. or was he a fill in for Casey Kasem back then? I always thought that both of them had their own countdown shows...
Sad. You would think that for Evening Drive, that a local talent would be the best thing.

I agree. New stations take forever to put staff on these days. Look at Click in Dayton... been half a year now hasn't it? And Dees still does the weekly top 40.
I think Rick Dees still has "The Weekly Top 40". It aired on WGTZ/Z-93 from 1993-2007, its last time slot being Sat. mornings from 6-10 AM. Gen X Radio 106.7 in Columbus airs old Rick Dees and the Weekly Top 40 eps from 6-10A on Saturday mornings. Dees was OK, but Casey Kasem was my fave.
