KLSD Pixel Page Update

H

Guest
Looks like the KLSD Pixel Page was simply moved to a different location on the 1360klsd.com website

When they redesigned the website, I thought that the pixel page was gone. I failed to notice that the graphic linking to the pixel page is located on the right-hand side of several pages on the KLSD website, between the "who's on now" and the "Weather" graphics.

The link to the Pixel Page is also at the bottom of the pages.

You can see my radio station logo dfsxradio.com on the Pixel page listed here

At least CC did the job. Wish they kept the pixel page as a splash screen.<P ID="signature">______________

Looks like you are one of the very few that actually bought any pixels. I noticed that the pixel page had simply been moved a few weeks back, and it hasn't changed much since then. I guess it's safe to say it was a marketing flop.

did anyone really think that CC thought they were going to make a bunch of money with it.
 
Funny you should ask...
There was a story on 60 Minutes or 20/20 a few weeks back about a kid in Britain who made millions and paid off all his student loans with the Pixel page.

The difference, of course, is that CCU is not a little kid...

You do realize that statement makes no sense whatsoever ...

I see the point of the post...AA would a dead opossum without CC supporting it with their stations, as distribution is the name of the game in this business. And seeing how the only way AA can get coverage in Phoenix through LMA would make it a welfare station for the benefit of AA.

Huh?<P ID="signature">______________

A little translation...

I think, there is a bit of double meaning going on here. What they are trying to say (I think) is
1. Because of Air America's financial problems, they essntially would not exist if weren't for CC, since without CC, Air America would have no affiliates. So, in a way, CC is providing a sort of "Welfare" for Air America.
2. But also, the first point was made as a way of attaching the "welfare" label to Air America, since Conservatives (republicans) attach a negative connotation to word "welfare," that it is a Liberal (Domocratic) ideal (because, to them, "welfare" mean more government, more taxes, etc).

So basically, the last two posters (excluding the moderators) were disguising their politically slanted slams on KLSD (in short, republicans who hate KLSD because it appeals to the democrats). After all, they know that politics is not allowed on these boards. The problem is, it didn't work, but it almost did...

Outsmarting oneself through overt obfuscation?

No wonder I can't make heads or tails of the nonsense that was posted.

I echo my fellow moderator's response of "Huh?"<P ID="signature">______________

Re: A little translation...

What's funny is they post no negative statements on
a low rated station like KCBQ-AM, soley based on
it's conservative slant. Let's be even handed.

KCBQ doesn't get mega $$ for it's ad revenue, but obviously enough to stay on the air year after year with the same lineup.. A very stable operation

Now, let's look at KLSD.. Changes it's lineup every few months.. I listened to it a few times, and I was struck by the lack of advertising.. For example, a full two minutes is devoted to loony left commnetary by the in house brands at the top and bottom of the hour.. Occasionally, the AAR people do commentary..

Luckily, since rich Uncle Clear Channel is "subsidizing" ( I'll use this word instead of welfare, because the Mods are offended ) KLSD, there is no urgency to sell advertising.. But if this was, say, Missoula Montana, and ad spot sales were negligible, the station changes format.. Very simple to comprehend. AND SPOT ON!!<P ID="signature">______________

KLSD's focus

KLSD needs sales focus. I've been to the Stacy Taylor/Jon Elliott listener gab fest. It is crowded. So, if there are obvious problems in local ad sales, then the sales weasels have not done their job. The Gordon Birshe feast OVERFLOWED into the parking lot. There was a lot of food and other adult beverages (and smoke in the parkin' lot) going. (And I know by 9 a.m. tomorrow a sales person will call me (again) and tell me they are doing all they can do. Sure, then if that's true, take the tacky pixel page down or donate the money to a local charity.)

I don't listen to the station outside of Stacy, Jon, Garden Compass, and the 'Dawg, however MR. A is right: no local advertising.

Again, why should listeners financially support the station when advertising is the traditional method. Having a better bidness plan would bring this in.<P ID="signature">______________

One of the challenges is what would you change the format to that would generate more listeners and that would create more advertising demand?
I guarantee you that CC is not doing this because of any loyalty to Air America. They run a business and if they could figure out something else that would generate more net profit they would.

Uh, right... Because Adult Standards was such a great revenue generating machine?

It billed $2.5 million last year... on nearly no expenses. That is big cash flow, not a subsidy. clear Channel does not own stations to lose money.

Essentially, the staiton has billed about the same for the last 5 years, but the standards format was in decline, and they added revenue after doing the change.

I know David,
I was making a stab at sarcasm...
 
Re: A little translation...

There was no intention to slam them politically, my comment was one simply relating to point #1 and point #2 of the situation with AA in Phoenix.
