Last week of Arbitron

M

Mr. Marbles

Guest
:eek: Uh oh here we go..who do you think will take it this book in #179 ??? Is there a clear staple station up there in cow land ??? Curious to know your MIXXed opinions my students ???
 
I think the numbers will be fairly predictable with no real surprises.. I'm sure the mainstream 50kw stations will be at or near the top of the irrelevant rankings. Kixx will do fine.. The Kixx / Wolf battle could be worth a look for bragging rights in the UV. It will be interesting to see if the Kiss-FM back to Z 97 means anything in the big picture. WJJR will do fine by default of being the only soft AC in the market, and with little or promotion outside of the masterpiece of genius.. "Name that Noise". It will be interesting to see how Q106 and the Fox shake out with the loss of the I-Dude.. I'm sure Cat Country will do fine, better in the Rutland County breakout. WEBK is such a contradicton to itself, if you're an AAA fan, you're pissed when you hear the Yankees.. If you're a Yankees fan, as soon as the music hits, you're outta there. I'm sure there's a few crossover listeners. I don't think the Yankees are a big draw to the diaries regardless.. WSYB, WTSL, XL 92, Oh yeah, Morning Buzz vs. Free Beer ?
After writing, "War and Peace", there will be nothing to say, "Oh Wow" in the market clumped together and defined by the big ratings company as Lebanon, Rutland, and White River Junction
 
Yeah, the last week of ratings can stress me out :mad: thats why I usually take off this time of year. you know get away to some place remote..no cell phone, t.v. and most important NO RADIO!! Just my laptop to keep up with emails. I love it man, but sometimes I need a break. I figure I've done all I can up til' this point. fate is in the listeners hands now :-\
 
Hey Professor Marble Boy...hope you brought your clock with you...tick tock...tick tock...tick tock...left it at the shop? Everyone else can hear it...hope the numbers come in for you. Me thinks your AM may drop even more...dead air anyone?

Tick tock...tick tock... ::)
 
Dudeman do you know many PD's or Ops managers that would dare take a vacation during a ratings period ? Marbles must be very confident of one out of his five stations anyways, or sending our resumes... It's got to be one of the two.. Hmmmmm. ???
 
Judging by the product Marble Boy has been overseeing, that could be a possibility...anything short of #1 would spell tragedy for the SS Minnow...maybe he's looking for a bucket to bail out the boat?

Live by the numbers....die by the numbers...what's that I hear? Sounds like the clock ticking.... 8)
 
What actually does being number one in the amalgamated, forcefully created, unsubstantiated, geographically differentiated market of 179 really mean ?
 
PROGRAM DIRECTOR: (WZRT - Lebanon/Rutland) Our PD is moving on to a larger market after over 10 years at the station. So, we're on the search for our next Leader. All applicants should have at least 1 year experience as PD, Music Director or APD. If you think you've got what it takes to grow this heritage top 40 station to the next level send your Mp3, Resume & Programming Philosophy to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> . Duties include but are not limited to programming, music scheduling & morning drive host. NO CALLS or SNAIL MAIL please!! Pamal Broadcasting is an Equal Opportunity Employer Posted: June 20, 2007


This is from the VAB website... It has begun..
 
How long do you think it will take to fill this position? I wonder how Pokey Bear and Mr. Marbles will treat the potential punching bag...RUN-AWAY!!!! :p

Not too late for Cool Jazz 97!!
 
I don't even think Pamal Rutland has filled the Afternoon Drive / Promotions position yet either for Z 97. One would think that after a sit down interview with Pokey Bear and Mahhhbles, one would soon relaize that perhaps the grass is not greener in that pasture.
 
That pasture has been flooded with the waters of ineptitude for months...the only way to turn it green is to pour concrete and paint it that way ;)

What happened to that guy they had during lunchtime? what was his name...mick...nick...?? Now some other voice is on...is she even in the building? I wonder if she'll appear at a remote any time soon...
 
What's going on with WZRT. I saw that job post and decided to apply. Should I rethink it? What is up with Pamal?
 
You really have to read other posts concerning Pamal's purported ineptitude on how to manage their stations in Central Vermont.

This could be a toss-up though. If they are looking for a new PD as well maybe things will be better than the lackluster approach that station has taken thus far (according to these boards).

Jo Jo, do you have anything to add to that?
 
From what I hear, between the Bear and Professor, its a hurry up and get it done, then wait for us to decide, then do it this way..uh no wait...do it this way...uh...oh wait...you decide...uh do it like THIS!!! WHY ISN'T IT DONE!! GET IT DONE!! uh wait...we're not sure yet...uh...WHY ISN'T IT DONE YET?!?!!?! uh...YOU SCREWED IT UP... uh ... LOOK EVERYONE HE (OR SHE) SCREWED IT UP...uh...DON'T POKE THE BEAR...uh...'hickup'...WHAT? CAN'T HANDLE THE PRESSURE?!! uh uh uh ...LOOK HOW GREAT WE ARE...no thanks to you...DO IT AND YOU'LL LOSE...oh CRAP the HOWELL'S ARE COMING...WIPE THAT UP! YOU SCREWED IT UP AGAIN!!!! um...how do think we should do it...THATS STUPID...YOU'RE STUPID...DO IT THIS WAY...

WE'RE NUMBER 1! 'hickup'

or something like that...
 
I would think that Dudeman has a good pulse on the situation there. Maybe it's me, but I have not heard much hype on the car giveaway..
 
Is it that bad? If so I will not apply and I will spread the word to some others I know that are looking and considering. Who is Pokey Bear and Professor? They sound like a spoof movie. Thanks for the advice. How is there billing situation? If that act that way towards people they must be financially strong?
 
What do all those hiccups mean Dudeman ? Are those alcohol induced ?? Slainte !
 
Did I hiccup? Didn't realize...what can I say...you put your ear to the ground, you hear things...many things...

Are they giving away a car? Didn't notice...though I cannot listen all the time, I try to once in a while...I'm willing to bet all the details aren't worked out....ya know...making it up as they go along. Such is the history of Gilligan's Island.

lakemonster...I hear nothing promising for you in Rutland...maybe try 101 the fox...not everyone that visits the island can escape...I think there's a valcano on that island...might explode any day...BEWARE.... ::)
 
what kind of car are they giving away? I'm surprised the station took a turn for the worst. Z97 or kiss fm use to be such a power house. did they switch hands? I know 92.1 is out, one would figure they would try to capatilize on being the only CHR in the market? sorry if these are obvious questions. I just haven't been updated ? Who is the GM and Ops manager? I know they need a new PD, who is the previous PD? Are they leaving because of this Pokey bear and professor? or are they really leaving to pursue a bigger market?
