Re: rumor
I agree with OldiesCat, for once.
WGFX may lead in "their field", which is sports talk, but look at the competition: The Fan & WNSR, neither of which can be heard in half the market. But as for the "talk field", WGFX is in third place, behind two far-superior competitors.
As for the "bleeding money" accusation: I wouldn't say WGFX is bleeding money. Sure, they're paying Frank & George each more than five times the average radio personality's salary, and that's not even counting Kevin, Mark, Willy, Darren, and all the producers. But with what they're charging for ads in drive time and the frequency of the ads (the overbearing frequency), they're probably making it all back. Plus, we can't forget how they bend over to any paying customer on the weekends. I won't say they're "bleeding", but they're not raking it in, either.
Though, I still can't figure out what they're smoking to convince them that "the zone replay" is a good idea.<P ID="signature">______________
