Nobody's said anything about WABB finally hiring another PD. Chris "Beaver" Smith? Read it on All Access today. Anybody know anything about the guy?

I know this topic isn't about the drama going on in Market 192 but I thought I would be different...
 
I wonder......what this new PD will do to the station? Get RDS or HD Radio....or maybe

A WAY TO STREAM LIVE ON THE INTERNET???? This guy looks like WABB is going to be what it was 5-10 years ago! Goodjob Dittman!
 
So....they now have Snapper and Beaver (and previously a Cooter), huh? Way to go after those adult females team. Lord knows they love to hear words that are euphemisms for their vaginas. [EDIT]

I'd guess the reason no one has said anything might be because no one seems to even care about WABB anymore. There is just NOTHING compelling coming out of that station. And I hear nothing being said about them around town, whereas I used to constantly hear people chattering about their latest bit, stunt whatever. It's not a horrible station, nor is it even close to good. It's just...there. And that's the CHR kiss of death: a complete lack of passion or energy.

The jocks (this means all of you WABB folks trolling here) read the same gossipy/TMZ factoids you can read/watch/hear anywhere and seem to have no understanding of what it means to CREATE entertainment that draws an audience in and COMPELS them to continue listening (their TSL MUST be horrendous), they have no promotions of note (much less any original or topical ones....missing the good old days of label $$$ obviously), they have zero street presence, mornings is a complete disgrace (John is a AAA or Rock midday or overnight dude at best and Mena should be working at the mall or something, QTip has potential, but doesn't fit with those two), the imaging is 110% boring, and the music is just...."ehhh". The music isn't horrible, but not great either, although that's probably more to blame on the state of the industry right now.

So, there's just no excitement coming out of the speakers right now. The Pirate is much more entertaining in that trainwreck kind of way and I see the Zew on the street more lately. I hope the new PD lights a fire under some butts and gets good and creative and gets WABB back to the energy it had in the old days. The old days had their problems too, but at least they tried to come up with good stuff....

Montgomery is starting to be a more interesting market than Mobile.....and there's some CRAP on in Montgomery, trust me.

Beaver will do a great job at WABB! He knows what makes Top 40 successful...and he's fun too! It's always scary to get a new PD, but current employees don't need to worry this time. Beaver will help the station achieve its full potential and maintain an enjoyable work environment. You'll see! This is a good thing :D
 
WEll, I somewhat agree with MuthaODaMystics a little...except with all those vulgar words...haha! Yeah, WABB needs a true morning show,. I like Cherish during the middays and the "Cardio Radio". Thats cool. The Morning show, Snapper are so bland. WABB needs to wake up and realyl smell the coffee out there. They need to shape up and be what a TRUE top 40 is. I hear a song that i did not hear in such a long time ago and they play it over and over and over again......and they STOP......and pick a new song....and replay it ....well, you know what i'm trying to get 2. Um, call that annoying?!?!?! Yeah! Beaver, [EDIT]...whatever the hell your name is.......PLEASE HELP WABB INTO A SUPER TOP 40 STATION AND SHAKE MOBILE AGAIN!...and that voice radio demo guy or whatever you call it.....it sounds like a gay person on the station! No. Be strait.

LOOK FOR STREAMING ONLINE IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS FOLKS!
