Major changes coming to KSCS?

If he was getting the axe too - do you think he would be told of the other changes?

get a grip.

its gonna happen - and it is about time.

charles - i do not think chris huff is in that circle anymore - i think he has been cut out.
 
No offense, Charles, but do you think Chris is going to give you any real info if you're just going to run over to Radio-Info and post it? Why do you think no one gives ME anything juicy anymore?? ;D

(but I always know it's going to be something good when I'm told a story that's prefaced with, "Now Mike, I don't want to see this on the Radio-Info board or hear about it on "The Hi-Fi Club"...) :-X
 
Lesson 1..never go to the station management ,on air staff and asked if they are going to make some big changes andyour favorite /friend/colleague/well known personality/ is going to lose their job. When you do truth goes on vacation.

Do you really think changes are on the way? I noticed they've been slipping in some older country songs alon with the current country songs they've been playing. What's up with that? They've never done this before.
 
Their promotion department is one walking high school drama class. Mgmt is sick of it and can get someone better for less $$$... Who needs promotions anyway when the drama overshadows.

I just got an update today - looks like August time frame. POP

I need a burger.

Do you work for them or just know someone that works there? You seem to have a lot of "inside" info but as i have read on other post if you have friends that work in the business when you ask them direct questions and they know you post on here are they really going to tell you the "truth" or the truth they want you to post? And you seem to have it in for KSCS's promotion people. Every company in every business has "high school drama", it's just a fact of life, but you seem to keep throwing them under the bus talking about how bad they are. I know people that work for other country radio station and they say that they hate KSCS promotions department but it's basically because they always end up showing my friends up at events that they are both at or the boss over there gets on them about not doing certin things or keeping things fair! I dont work in that type of business but i would assume that when you are in people's faces all the time promoting something you are supposed to be high school-ish and cheerleader types as you refered to it once before.
 
well even though i think that is scandilous and weird would you really be posting stuff like this on this info board if you maybe worked for them? Not to discredit you or anything but why wouldnt you just go into all these peoples bosses at your maybe job and tell them your issues? What if they agreeded? So if you maybe work there and know so many details but harp on the horrible issues with the promotions department does that mean that you want to take that department over or are you just trying to help your maybe company find a better suitor for the position? Hey if anything good comes up and they are hiring i guess let us all know!
 
Somebody told me, back in the ABC ownership days, that promotions jobs at KSCS and WBAP paid $5.00 per hour. All you'll find in that price range is broadcasting school kids hoping for that "big break," or maybe high school or college-age guys doing "something" to appease mom and dad's demand that they "get a job," or maybe it's just to meet chicks. As for the girls? To get a tan, and because Six Flags isn't hiring right now.

I always found it funny to ask a promotions kid some simple question about their station, just to see how they respond. It was always obvious that NONE of them listened to the station they promoted. Standard response: "Uhhhhhhh...let me ask so-and-so," or, "You see the lady in the white shirt over there? Go ask her."

Me, I loved doing promotions...but I took it seriously. I became Mr. Extrovert, I jawed with listeners about "their" station, and became a real goodwill ambassador. Hell, I'd do it again for the right price.
 
Supply and demand. If kids are willing to work for 5 bucks an hour, why pay more? Especially when the vast amount of promo asst's are there as cheap labor- they need someone besides the jock doing the remote or making the appearence to set up a table, hang some banners, plant some yard signs, etc. You KNOW the jock ain't doing that himself, but it certianly doesn't take 24K a year and a college degree in RTF to do that either...

And every station I've worked at in this market, and there have been plenty, have looked to the promo 'kids' that took their job seriously when they've needed full time promo assistants, board ops, dub monkeys, etc. The nhew blood has to come from somewhere, why not use the promo crew as a test area? If they're lazy, don't bother to learn about the station they're working for etc, they automatically DQ thrmselves from further consideration. But I know some people who passed thru promo departments on their way up...it happens...
 
Granted SOME promotions workers got their foot in the door and actually moved up,however thsoie days are just about a distant memory. If you look at the overall landscape with a calculator,a graph,and no peripheral vision then of course it looks good. If you seek out talent,etc for 5 dollars or metro's 11 dollars an hr,accept less than quality stuff and have a sound of just going through the motions for a check then a listener you wish to attract in the car has plugged in their IPOd or CD and turned your station completely off. You just lost them.

I agree with you MizBiz why would be changes coming to KSCS? KSCS is one of the best country stations in the market, next to The Wolf.

Then what kind of changes are in store for KSCS????
 
Working in promotions = banner hanger for the minions...and kissing ass and getting as much free stuff as you can for the promo dir. I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see changes at KSCS. $$$$ talks and if you're making too much of it in radio today, you'll prolly walk....the plank.

Looks like we just heard from the "high school drama" promotions department...

And shame on you young lady for using inflammatory language in this forum. Grow up.
 
Nice. MizBiz is totally classy. I wonder if she's worried about getting fired.

Go hang a banner, or post your resume.

I hear there are about to be a few changes over there - wait - some major changes.

Promotions? - out!
Morning host or co-host? out!
why pay for it when its meaningless and terrible? Its like their promotions is a freaking cheerleader camp than no one cares about.
I'm not saying the Wolf is any better - its just that when personalities collide - they get destroyed.
Im not burnt - I'm cooked.

Anybody else smelling credibility problems here. There are 'about' to be changes. And this post is 2 months old. Now I don't listen to KSCS much, but last I checked the morning host and cohost were still there. Anybody know if their promotions department has been blown out?

Or is the only thing that's been blown out of the water is Mcdlt's credibility. Or his command of the english language is using 'about to" for something taht doesn't happen for 2 months...
