What will this do to Q101?
Moving to Infinity will give Mancow more syndication, but with all of the stupid moves that Infinity has been making lately (in my opinion), I wonder how long he will last. Is the cow throwing away something good by leaving Q101? If I were in his shoes, I'd be worried about an abrupt format change. Then again, looking at Q101, I'm surprised that the format has lived this long! He is going from one low rated station to another. We find out soon.

The weirdest part about it, is that Mancow's show accounts for 40% of Q101's billing. Emmis is going to loose a lot of money, and Johnny B isn't going to fill that void. Most people don't even remember who he is. Nationwide its a great move for Mancow, but in his home town, I can see him hurting. Unless CKG plans to advertise their station (which they do not) he will be screwed. I have never seen a single billboard/tv/magazine ad for CKG. They have heavy hitters like O'Reily/Howard/Loveline, and nobody knows! I think Johnny B was a horrible choice for the loop. I would of rather listened to Kev.
As for Q101. I wouldn't worry, if Emmis buys some of the Disney stations, you can say good bye to the Zone, and watch Q101 do very well! <P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by ZelenRecords on 08/02/05 01:08 PM.</FONT></P>

Which one of 'em flips to oldies and grabs that (as of yet) unclaimed billing?

Watch it be WKQX. Wouldn't it be funny to have oldies show up on 101.1 in Chicago and 104.3 in New York? If Emmis owned 104.3 in New York, I'd see it as being possible. Then again, I really am not familiar enough with Emmis to come to that conclusion.

Logical Scenario For Emmis:
Emmis twitches not knowing what to do with Q101. If they buy Disney stations The Zone or Q will be in the garbage. That's a given.
A station to compete with B96 with more of a KTU (meaning less thugafied) flavor will appear.
Rock is dead in Chicago, has anyone told them that?
Brandmier will do nothing for the Loop. He's old, passe', too much time between what he was and who he is now. It's as silly as putting Kevin Matthews back on the radio. While they have a loyal following there's just not enough to justify the amount of money their egos think they're worth.

Feder has been wrong before, and I am 99.9% sure he is wrong on this one. The headline reads: Mancow, Johnny B. could be on the move. Keyword: could.
I'm buying a Lotto ticket tommorrow. By next week I could be a millionaire.
I think Feder is sick of us scoping him, so now he's making stuff up.
That Infiniti deal for Mancow was discussed here a long time ago (and by Mancow). But we know that Adam Corrola is gonna take over for Howard, and a station like WCKG will hire CHEAP local talent, not Mancow.
Adam mentioned on Sunday night that "he's leaving Loveline to take over for Howard and Dr. Drew will stay to run the show into the ground".
The reason the story is B.S. is because Feder claims Mancow has to leave the company, Johnny demanded it.
I believe Brandy would ask for an outrageous demand like that, but that's were Emmis tells him to F himself. Why would they indulge him and get rid of their money man. Johnnny has no leg to stand on, he's lucky to even get offers in Chicago.
Who knows, who cares. Does Best Buy got any deals on Sirius units?????

If the article is true, it is interesting that emmis wants brandy more than Mancow. They are not afraid to see him go.
Classic rock + brandy = solid predictable revenue for Emmis.
Then Q becomes something else.
It will be interesting to see what happens to the infinity properties going forward. I still think Spanish is the future. The market is too big to let univision own it. CKG is low hanging fruit. If JMK flops, it goes spanish also.

Re: Q101s new line up would be:
The way I see it Q already has Mancows Replacement with the afternoon show.
And by buying the zone then can put Sludge oe Whipping Boy in the afternoon

Other things that were great in the 80s:
*The threat of nuclear holocaust
*Lionel Richie's afro
*Richard Simmons' afro
*John Holmes' junk
*John Oates' moustache
*Elvira's chest
*Ronald Reagen's memory
*Jam Master Jay's boombox
*JM J. Bullock's appetite for men
*Nell Carter (RIP)

That is the most retarded thing I have ever heard. More Spanish?
So 107.9, 103.1, 90.5, 93.5,105.1, 950, 1200, 1590 isn't enough?

I'd disagree with your Brandmier assessment. It's no different than Matthews. It's not guaranteed revenues, it's a wash. Higher costs associated with a has been. Silly move. What's next Len O'Connor? I just think it's a silly move to bring someone back who has NO NAME RECOGNITION other than about 20,000 people and out of them, how many will be P1's?
I'd say with letting Mancow go, if this is true then Q's ready for a format change. That goes without saying. Which direction? If they went urban they'd be foolish, over saturated and they won't serve the community which means lackluster numbers for them splitting the white and Hispanics into that format style with seven other stations
There's only a few holes here:
Oldies if you can get it done on the cheap.
Party Station - Dance with current urban dance hits minus the ballads.
Retro - 80s/90s hits with DANCE and URBAN, not just the lame Tom Cochrane stuff.
Anyway, that's my 7.5 cents
That's about it.

Radio is a retarded business. Thank your national congress. We will see what the future brings. I am usually wrong with my predictions.
However I don't think you should under estimate the allure of the
growing hispanic market and infinitie's desire to have a piece of it
in market #3.
BTW 90.5 and 1590 don't count, but you missed 106.7.

Yeah good call. That kills me, being Russian it leaves no room for Slavik stations to make it through into Chicago. We get stuck with paying crazy rates @ 1240AM. Or not hit Chicago with 1330/1430, etc.

I was surprised that there's a 90.5 in both Chicago and Park Ridge. I wonder if any of those stations went on the air before 1964. With those Class D stations, I'm surprised that Moody Bible Institute hasn't had the FCC shut down those stations, with the stations being in the primary contour of WMBI-FM.

Dave,
Have you seen the power those 2 stations put out? It is negligible.
90.5 Park Ridge is not even on the air all the time.
Maybe someone can help out, but, 90.5 Chicago was mono at one time, and at even lower power than what it is today.<P ID="signature">______________

Emmis could also go chill, like their NYC Chill station -- compete with stale WNUA. They could also do a Kiss style top 40 but with a little more attitude and less urban.
They could do rap, because Emmis is good at it, but like you said, oversaturated market.
Retro is your best bet, it could stay Q101 just shift the playlist more '80s, they've actually already started doing that.
But I'm telling you, it's not going to happen -- Feder is overspeculating the Loop morning show. Emmis is bette off keeping Mancow and just going with Music on the Loop -- they don't need Johnny B.
