K104 sucks!

First, their morning show is so corny now, it will put you to sleep. They are a hip hop station without weekend mixshows ???. Now, they are advertising a four hour local music show on Sundays, and all I've heard is the same ol' regular programming for the past 30 minutes. Hey Skip, what the he!! are you thinking?
 
Bucwhyl, this is why everyone is catching up on them in the ratings. Is Skip Cheatham still PD? It might be time for a fresh approach.

Everyone??? I hardly consider one station's temporary lead (trust me, it will be temporary) as an indicator that "everyone" is catching up.

Seeing that K-104 has lost its touch with its core community, the products suffered. Skip Cheat-Em' can barely run an air shift, let alone program a station...

Yes he is unfortunately, and I totally agree with you. I know one of his personalities told me one time that he's, (skip), is not a big fan of mixshows.

I was talking to some people at one of the abc networks 24 hour formats and she told me there are some major changes coming down at K-104. Even talk about bringing in Steve Harvey LOCALLY!!!!!

That i would love to see happen!!!!! But i hear Ken donesn't like him.
 
I welcome any change from a new morning show, to a real voiceguy for the station. I'd really welcome back the weekend mixshows, and last, but certainly not least, a new P.D.!

The reason why one of the mix shows was taken off K-104 is because one of the mixers was mixing in the F word on his mixes. It was very subtle but airchecks revealed at least 32 F bombs on three different shows. There was at least three instances where a mixer dropped in the phrase "George Bush Sucks".

Until they get this problem solved. No new mix shows.

It just takes one to screw up the works. Maybe if Skip gives up his "Flava TV" (which blows anyways)he might actually be a PD. Then again....
 
SLAM, you are very correct about Mr. Dowd, but then again, why would he leave NYC. The man is blowing up in every market he hits, including this one on 105.7 (something Ken knows nothing about... eh hem.)

The last true MIX show was found on the EDGE of all places, and that left because of nighttime programming changes. 97.9 did the Friday morning drive for a while, but they cut that crap with commercials and drop-ins so much, who cares to get a groove on?

As for Mr. Cheat'em, he MUST GO! With that low overhead, highly loyal fanbase station, a gold mine is way too much responsibility for an idiot like him. LCD Programming isn't an actual format, is it? (For those not in the "know", that is "Lowest Common Denominator" ::))

He was good until sometime last year when I think he want to make the station sound like everywhere else. A station that sucks. When you look at K104 airplays on radioandrecords.com, you will see that he is playing songs alot more than in the past and making you hear that same song over and over again. Let say 2 years ago, the most played song maximum amount of airplay for a song on K104 averaged about 72 spins. Now it skyrocketed up to 104 or 105 spins. Rhythmic stations usually spin around that much, not Urban stations. I may be wrong, but there may be some stations that are like that out there.
