If CC was smart, they'd force LM's hand & flip 104.5 to active. Let 98Rock flip to alternative or classic rock.

I see Z-93 is down a share, wonder if Apex translator 99.3 THE BOX is taking away listeners. 95SX gained a lot! Apex may need to think about MIX 95.9 going Top 40 hits (with some rap).

I've never heard a more boring classic rock station than Q-104.5. Playing that corporate-mandated playlist takes the life out of the station. Classic rock signals are dying left and right because most offer no real reason to listen post-AM drive. My Spotify classic rock category blows the water out of CC's CR playlist. And it's over 1000 titles.
 
Do all Clear Channel owned classic rock stations sound similer? In some markets classic rock does well. Just take a look at WZLX Boston a good sounding classic rocker owned by CBS Radio.

Most, if not all, Clear Channel classic rockers use the same playlist. During summer nights in Myrtle Beach, it was not uncommon to hear at least three CC CR's on the FM band running the same playlist. Q-104 in Charleston and Eagle 105.7 in Augusta, GA were in almost every night with another one or two popping in from time to time. Usually, the CRs were within three minutes of each other in programming.

And explain Bob & Tom in Charleston. This isn't Indiana.

Is that show just as bad as Free Beer and Hot Wings which used to air on 96.1 KZQ. Now KZQ airs ESPN's Mike and Mike. But getting back to Q 104.5 im surprised no local morning show. The classic rocker in Myrtle Beach has a local morning show. I wonder if Clear Channel ever considered flipping because 101.7 Chuck would take over then.

"Free Beer & Hot Wings" is the worst syndicated morning show I've ever heard. Weekend "tradio" shows on a 1KW AM signal in west central Texas sound better than that crew.

You mean there's something worse than Ace & TJ?

Free Beer & Hot Wings.....Ace & TJ....we can slam them all we want, but they're employed. They're syndicated. Someone who makes hiring and firing decisions likes them. And there are a LOT of more talented people working retail right now or whatever. We can slam them, but at the same time, you gotta envy them a little.

I don't envy them one iota. The show is cheap, barely gets the job done (not a ratings bonanza) and fills hours that would be otherwise filled with local talent. You can envy them, but my standards are a bit higher.
 
Boston, "envy" comes in many forms. What is enviable is the fact that they are employed, in radio no less. Many radio pros with far more experience or talent are not.

So, what I meant to say was, envy their situation, not their talent - or lack thereof.
 
Sumter's news station programs the same 10 public service commercials "back to back " or dead air many mornings after the FOX news feed. They feed their morning remote interviews on an Internet link that fails regularly with no recovery system....so more dead air. How is that for morning programming?
