Kelly Mitchell no longer on b1079?
- Thread starter Radioma18
- Start date
Forget "Where all the GOOD songs have gone" -- where has Kelly Mitchell gone?! She's far more important than the good songs, which actually were last seen going down the toilet shortly after B107-9 began playing them to death.
Her departure leaves yet another gaping hole in the Air-Staff page on the station's Web site, so hmm, maybe it's time for me to update my "Top Secrets" Station Candidates list. What do you think, should I switch a couple? After all, WODB gets hit with her mysterious disappearance, and that leaves another five hours of the day's twenty-four seemingly up for grabs (well, four anyways -- gotta keep that request hour going, although people could just as easily request their favorite secrets instead ... and have a lot more fun doing it). So maybe they're better than #4. On the other hand, last Friday's very interesting Arbitrends chart shows that CD101 didn't exactly take the hit that I thought it might take from 106.7, so maybe they're worse than #2. Eh, there's still time -- it's going to take at least another two months for all the dust to settle, at least another two months for us to know exactly how much damage The Alternative Alternative Station has done to its primary target. Which I guess is what some outfits are mostly interested in -- hatred for the competition instead of compassion for us.
Hey, speaking of the P1 numbers, WHAT THE HECK IS A WDHT?!?! Actually I know the answer to that, so let's see, we've had Cincinnati beating out 1230 for a while, and now we've got Dayton beating out Your (Nobody's) Talk Station, too -- can Middletown be far behind? Or perhaps Hooterville? (Actually, "Green Acres" aficionados will know that Hooterville doesn't have its own radio station, but Pixley does. My bold prediction: next month look for WPIX to make the chart that WYTS can't. You read it here first.)

Jake: WDHT is actually licensed to Springfield, with a tower about 25 miles northeast of Dayton. So, you shouldn't be surprised that, with 50K effective radiated power, you see it come in at a zero-point-something in Columbus.
Yeah, but hasn't it been a long time since it last appeared in a Columbus Arbitron chart? If so, I hope its trend listing is the start of a new, um, trend. Johnboy counted 104 total stations listed in his Maximiser, and I think it'd be great if a dozen or so of them that we've never seen before could join WPIX and make an appearance on the April 4 big board, while 1230 (er, let's call it 123"0.0") remains a no-show.

I think 1079 would be best suited if they scrapped the DJs all together. Jim Hunter is a goofball...Bill Shannon is a tub of goo and Bulldog sounds as good as the pile my bulldog left on the floor. And who's this new guy they have working in the evening? He might as well be a middle schooler learning broadcasting. Radio in this city has gone down the tubes...can you hear it...FLUSH...there it goes.
Man, a lot of the posts under this topic sure are "crappy". First, in his/her word selection Radioma18 stinks up the place with "there" instead of "their" and "you" instead of "know" ... then even more thoughtlessly, jakej refers to songs going down a toilet, which of course is a physical impossibility unless you're talking about sheet music (which I don't believe radio uses; I may be wrong) or unless the thing has a much bigger hole/plumbing than normal and can swallow entire discs ... okay, RickF and Jason Roberts make sense with what they post, or at least they try to (although some people strongly feel that the personnel changes made a couple years ago at WJZA/WJZK were rather, uh, you know -- six letters, rhymes with pity) ... but then jakej comes back with more of his usual excretions, and now Schmo has us once again in the restroom listening to the commode as it, wow, properly functions.
I don't know, I just hope and pray that we can all get our heads out of the toilet and begin to communicate more intelligently here. Joe, Mr. Hunter may be a goofball, but he's a fishin' goofball, and there's a BIG difference. Mr. Shannon may be a tub of goo, but he bragged on the air for months about how he lost a lot of weight thanks to the products of one of his station's sponsors, and so he's not as big a tub of goo as he used to be. Bulldog ... well, I'm not even going to dignify your attack against him with a response, sir. I am curious to know, though, what a pile sounds like. The new guy? Well, I can remember when I was a middle schooler learning broadcasting, and if anything, I was better at it then than I am/would be now (as any of the program directors who have recently heard one of my demo CDs can testify). Jones Junior High School in Upper Arlington, school year 1969-70, and each morning on WCUB I recited the Pledge of Allegiance, read the morning announcements, and provided a closing Thought For The Day for my fellow students (usually it was a good one that I pulled out of a big book, but occasionally it was a stupid one that I made up all by myself). And concerning your final flush, er, FLUSH ... well, with that I have no quarrel. You're absolutely right, Schmo; Columbus radio is without a doubt down there in the sewer right now, and it's down there just about as far as it can go. I'm gonna give up on 1580 making me an offer I can't refuse, and I'm slotting 98.3/102.1 in as the new #10 on my "Top Secrets" Station Candidates list. "WCRS -- We're Columbus' Revolutionary Station". "WCRS -- Low Power/High Entertainment FM". "WCRS -- 'Cross' The Others Off Your List" (jeesh, nothing personal, my fellow Radio-Info posters, but I read a lot of your presets under another topic on this board and they were so bad they made me poop my pants).

HOT 102.9 is a Rhythmic CHR out of Dayton(Actually the tower sits just off US Route 41 in Springfield on Miller Rd., right above the Upper Valley Flea Market, I mean Mall)formerly owned by Radio One(Now owned by Mainline). I'd imagine that you could probably pick up Hot a tad on the west end of Columbus OK...I've picked it up relatively clear in Cols. from time to time. WDHT was previously known as WING-FM Classic Rock from 1995-2001 until Radio One bought it and decided to "own" the Urban audience in Dayton, and before that they had the calls WAZU almost a decade before they came to 107.1(They did play Rock-as the Big WAZU no less-from 89-93 before going Classic Rock in March 93, following a few days of being all Led Zeppelin as WZEP-FM(They went back to the WAZU calls and a Classic Rock format after a couple days of WZEP)...From 1989 back and for most of the 80s they were AC 103 WAZU/102.9 WAZU).
Hot 102
I must have ADD and have no time to read all that crap above but I saw Hot mentioned so I'd let you know the fact I listen in my car every morning..from the east to the west side of Columbus. I happen to like Russ in the morning...
