Las Vegas Radio

"Great. Then he needs a PD to teach him how not to sound so
annoying on-air. I can't listen to him. When I've had
other radio friends visiting our fair city, in between
taking them downtown for deep-fried twinkies and cruising
buffets on the strip, I turned the radio on and said "you
gotta hear this guy." They too thought he was the worst
they ever heard. He may be the nicest guy in the world, but
it's what comes out of the speakers that counts."

I agree...He needs a good PD. We all do...but who is he going to get? You think radio's brain-drain has affected jocks, what about Programming? Of the PD's working in Las Vegas right now, how many of them actually know what they're doing?
Also remember...Cousin Brucie, Dr. Demento, Howard Hoffman....Not the "best jocks" either.
Finally, if he's so awful, why not send him a letter? Take the lead. Share with him what you know. Make him better!

"Ratings aside, KMXB is a horrible example of a Hot AC."
>>"Except that when she took over, the station moved into
the top three, and stayed there until she left."
"Where else is one going to hear pop music in Las Vegas,
albeit a bad mix of it? Do they even use Selector (or
equivalent), or just play stuff at random? I've often heard
the same song place twice within an hour. A good PD knows
not to let that happen."

I think she's been gone for 90 days or so....I heard The Point do that over the weekend....(Janis Joplin, for GOD's sakes!) Vegas radio.....sheesh!

"KDWN - what a waste of 50kw.
>>"Oh Yeah?!?"
"Yeah."

Oh Yeah?!?

"Do we really need 5 Hispanic FMs?"
>>"Yes. At least there's competition somewhere in this
market."
"They all sound like "La Cucaracha" being played on an
accordion."

Easy now....

"KJUL - My granny would have loved that format, but she's
dead now."
>>"Somebody's listening...."
"Yes, but most of them are in nursing homes."

How do they keep getting diaries?

"How many sports AMs does one town need?"
>>"You play Soccer, don't you?"
"Uh, no."

C'mon, be honest...you secretly yearn to be a mid-fielder, don't you?"

>>"Tell Moe, and Curly that I said Hi!
(Sorry, couldn't resist....)"
"They both send their regards, but Curly said "why does the
guy have two first names?" (Sorry, couldn't resist)."

Sorry man, I was just playing....My parents actually gave me a candy-ass radio name. Don't ask me why...(Where are you Arthur Farnsworth?)

And you can blame the GMs for that. And the corporate people who are more concerned with the stock price than they are about doing good radio.

I have enough to do in my spare time. It takes a lot of time and effort to be a curmudgeon.

Yeah.

Dunno. But if they have arthritis and can't change the station or turn the radio off, it certainly helps increase the TSL.

No problem. Biting sarcasm is just one my many talents :)

KDWN NO LOCAL NEWS ABOUT FIRES-JD Wells wrong

The station that is supposedly local -kdwn- does not have any local news on wild fires etc. (unless you listen to the morning people read about it from the morning newspaper)) Therefore people should tune to stations like kxnt that have hourly local news updates.

Once again JD wells is proven wrong in all his claims, statements and ideas and should be removed from the air at once for stupidity and antics that are beyond the bucket.
