I was listening around 9 am this morning for about 20 minutes and did not hear any talking or bits just a couple of liners saying Matty was on.I then switched to Kiss they were playing You give love a bad name by Bon Jovi while Coast was playing a catchy tune with the Boom, Boom or something like that. The two stations were not playing the same thing nor did they for the time I was listening. I have flipped between the two before and it was a complete simulcast.With the exception of a local break.

Matty on Coast and Kiss
- Thread starter Kenny Atkinson
- Start date
Not sure about Matty because I think he sux but with Ralphie on PROFM and his home station 97BHT if you flip between them (I get BHT from the web) he sounds like a normal host at BHT, taking calls, talking natural, you know...interactive. On PRO if you listen carefully you can tell its voice tracked.
What I think they do is pre-record the voice tracks and put them into the play list. At least that is what it sounds like to me. Maybe they do the same thing with Matty.
What you end up with is the same show (in a sense) on 2 differant stations that is a bit differant.

Sounds like COAST is now comfortable enough with the show where they can change a few things around and still make it sound decent on air. I'm just guessing. All I know is that Ryan Seacrest is in town today and tomorrow and he badly wants Matty to take him to dinner because he says Matty is like a Dad to him. Don't shoot the messenger. This is just the stuff I read this morning when I glanced at Ryan's Twitter. Here.. I'll just post the damn message below.
RyanSeacrest: Matt at kiss 108 u taking me for dinner when I'm in boston this week? C-mon ur like a dad to me!

Yeah I'm sure they'll fight over the check. The fact that you even check Ryan's tweets tells me you're not into entertainment but the drama that goes on.

I don't really have to work to hard to check. Didn't even break a sweat. Don't know what you're talking about regarding Drama. If I wanted drama I would be searching for the Twitter accounts of people involved in drama. Maybe a Police department or two. Perhaps John Walsh and America's Most Wanted. (hey that's a good idea). But ...you think that I check Ryan's Seacrest's Twitter for Drama? Hahaha. Now that's FUNNY!
Truth is .... I saw him on a friends page yesterday and decided to follow him to see what kind of things he would say. By the way..... I found a few people here in this forum among the people following Ryan Seacrest and "Checking" his tweets. So say what you will about me. But just remember that you are placing some other people reading this board in the same category as me.
Just so everyone is on the same page, If you are following Ryan Seacrest on Twitter, Moonstruck thinks that you are not into entertainment but you are just into the Drama that goes on. :grin:
PS.... I like you Moonstruck and I really do enjoy your posts. So it's nothing personal. I just think you are a little off on this one.
Matty and Crew are on vacation. This week and last are "Best Of's". May have something to do with it.
Oxford St. should have Matty broadcast a few days a year from the Coast studio.....would help with the dust bunnies.
It would be interesting to see him interact with the other Oxford St. morning folks.

Not to offend Skynet. I think Twitter is fine if you're in the business and want to use what you see on the air when it comes to celebrities, although there's no shortage of info on any celebrity online. With Twitter you see what they want you to see. To me, other than for that purpose, it's just another example of the direction society is going with their obsession with celebrities instead of their own lives. When I said drama I really meant just nonsense type stuff instead of what the celebrity really does. There are probably people who wouldn't listen to Seacrest if you paid them and hate American Idol but will follow him on Twitter anyway.

A "normal" host...huh? How can the average listener tell it's voicetracked? Does the average listener even know what that means?
Obviously the average listener doesn't know what voicetrack means but I think they can pick up on things if they listen continuously enough. As much as most here resented Ed McMann being on B101 he at least mentioned local areas and happenings and had that thing where he mentioned peoples' names and where they listened at work. The B101 bunch and weekenders on Coast that are birdfed are obvious with lack of calls, breaks with ever-so-slight pauses when they end and the song or stopset starts, etc. Whether or not it matters is another thing. I think B101 and Coast have accustomed their listeners to expecting less at this point anyway.

Once again, YOU can tell, the average listener can't. Even when they do know (look at Seacrest's numbers in many markets), it doesn't matter as long as the content is good.
Skynet74 said:
That's NOT what I said. I said if the content is good, it doesn't matter if it's live and local or not. I use Seacrest as the benchmark. Personally, I am not a fan, but I wouldn't call his show crap in terms of content...plus his ratings support that listeners enjoy his show and they know it's not live and local. By the way a lot of people on this board rip on the LOCAL talent, I guess crap can come in live and local form too, right?

It's the type of content I'm talking about. Obviously Seacrest and the B101 birdfed jocks are professionals and doing the job they're paid to do but they're delivering non local content identical regardless of what market you hear them in. The fault isn't with them. It's with Clear Channel or any other owner that uses out of town people with no effort made whatsoever to localize anything. As far as local jocks I wouldn't say anyone is doing a crap job. Some are just not making much of an effort beyond station promotion talk and IDing the music and artist. Maybe that's almost as bad as the birdfed ones but if it's a voice that's been on the station or in the market for a while then at least the listener knows he is there and local.
Moonstruck said:
The bird fed jocks on B101 are very generic and speak about nothing local.Maybe Mark Ambrose can comment here but I believe B101 is local only on Saturdays for 1 or 2 shifts rotating the part timers.I know I can tell when the Bee is'nt bird fed because when MArk or Dave is on you hear weather and maybe a mention of something going on in town.
Which raises another question. Wy would nt they just keep Ed McMann on? As bad as it was its sounds a hell of alot better than the crap on now.
I came across some syndicated live shows awhile back that would be a good fit for B101 in afternoon drive.One sounded pretty good.I would try to fill the time with some bartered SHows that fit and limit this otheer stuff as much as posible.

YOU may not say anyone is doing a crap job, but you do read other's posts, right? ;-)
Trust me, I don't like what certain groups are doing (I am not really allowed to mention such groups at this time...) but some of the content, once again, Seacreast, can be good even if it's non-local and delivered to many markets. What about Howard Stern? Perhaps one of the most celebrated personalities in the last 25 years. His show wan't local, but it was entertaining and successful.
