Kudos to Bandy & Bailey, voted "Best Morning Show" in Atlanta.
Not really my cup of tea, but good for them.

That's pretty cool. I hadn't heard where they were voted this. Is this a B98 'voted AGAIN for the most music blah blah' type of 'award' or is it legit?

It was AccessAtlanta's "Best of the Big A" competition in which readers voted online back in May. I hear Bandy & Bailey did an aggressive campaign to win. It also helped Jim Vann win "sexiest voice."

That explains it. I think Jim Vann is actually pretty funny, but the Bandy & Bailey thing seemed a little surprising. By the way, Rodney, any idea why their ratings are so consistently high? Not to be catty, but their ratings always seem to be higher than their talent level would justify.

I'm not Rodney, but their ratings are high probably because people who like country music don't have a lot of choices. Personally, I think Bandy & Bailey are the best medium-market-sounding morning show in Atlanta.

Makes no sense. Why would ABC/Cap Cities put up with such mediocrity in a major market? Better yet, why do advertisers and ad agencies put up with it? Does this ever come up, when you deal with their sales staff?
And doesn't this kind of thinking make them vulnerable to someone else switching to Country?

Kicks has excellent sales people led by some excellent managers. And they have the big ratings and exclusive cume, which is all they need to sell.
Because ABC/Disney adds the Kicks and Eagle ratings together, a potential competitor would have a hard time overcoming that. I do think a signal like a 97.1 could make some inroads with country if programmed properly, but billing well would be difficult. Also keep in mind that the big Kicks signal does well both north and south of Atlanta, where the big country audiences are.

Just wonderin' how Mr Moby will factor into morning ratings.
With the NGC deal done, and rumblings of a westside outlet (107.1??? also Paul Stone owned)the pop count will be approaching 3.6 million....that's counting "The Bear 92.1" at 25,000 watts from the new site. 3.6 million potential listeners puts him close to parity with the KHX pop count.
Seems to me like Bandy and Bailey are ripe for the pickin'.....I wonder if Paul Stone will sign Moby for 107.1 and really take on KHX .
Rubarb may come out the winner before it's all said and done! I wonder if the ABC/CapCities management would let that happen.
Why doesn't ABC just buy The Bear for a few million dollars and put Mr Moby out of his misery once and for all??
WKHX is playing with fire!!

Bandy And Bailey have got to be the two most boring morning guys in the Southeast. Do these guys EVER do any show prep? Jim Vann has been out on vacation this week, and the show's been like listening to the lively conversation in a morgue. If it weren't for Jim Vann's humor, that show would be intolerable.
Then there's Jill. No one's ever told her that she's not supposed to be her own laugh track. She'll say something that she thinks is amusing and dissolve into her own laughter. Deborah Richards she'll never be, no matter how long she stays on the morning show.
KICKS is totally vulnerable, just like any other business who is the only game in town. An aggressive new competitor with a stong signal would make both stations more competitive, and we in Atlanta might just get better radio product. But, really......what are the chances that's going to happen? Cox and Clear Channel don't seem interested in competition for Country dollars.
