MAX FM and Oldies 102.9 Merges!

W

WRIKER

Well it seems like 94.3 MAX FM and Oldies 102.9 has merged into Classic Hits 94.3 Maxfm and 102.9. Yes 94.3 is simlucasting on 102.9 now and
oldies 102.9 is history!

Now it is unknown what studio they are using either the one in Fort Collins off of Hwy 14 or the one in Windsor but oldies 102.9 is gone, and Max has grew into CLassic hits!
 
Mark Callaghan...legend in his own shower. Let just call this what it is - another budget move. Hey, a whole station staff that can come off the rolls. Both these stations apart were doing less than just "good', so combining them is going to make ONE better than just "good"? again, is it ANY WONDER radio is just dying, that listeners are seeking other outlets? I cant believe Regent corporate thinks this is a good idea...but then again they have left Callaghan in charge for this long. How about at least trying something else? Or...gulp...listening to some fresh ideas? I talked to the gm some time back and he assured me that their "research" showed they had everything where it needed to be.
Meanwhile, we have NRC piping in better programming (I said programming not jocks) and not seeking a dime in advert money here in Northern Colorado. Dont try a good triple a/americana hybrid - it cant possibly make any money here...?!!? I'll be awaiting the announcement on budget cuts coming soon for the NoCo house of Regent.
 
I had talk to Mark the other day and he wastn in the shower then! Tell me ;what you mean by that comment or explain why yous think ThEy wold even make a move like this jus to save money? Sometimes I think don't people are as infomed as they say they is! How about that? :'(

Actually the whole idea was to simlucast 94.3 and 102.9 as one MAX, one signal.. The only problem is the FCC won't allow it quite yet with them. They need permission to simulcast both stations, so for the time being 102.9 is on auto and 94.3 isn't. But once they get the go ahead (whenever that well be) they are going to start to simulcast 94.3 on 102.9. Yes they are trying to save money, and this is one if not the only interesting idea that Mark has ever had to do with 102.9 and 94.3 THey figure lets just make one big signal that covers both SouthEast Wyoming(from Laramie--> Cheyenne, down to Denver).
And they also figure they would give what everyone wanted one format that plays all the hits. I tell ya i can't wait to see how well this idea is going to pan out when the ratings comes out later this yr to see what 94.3 and 102.9 got. I am sure it won't be good, but then again oldies was dying on 102.9 and wasn't bringing in the ratings that they was hoping to see with that station.

WIll don't hold your breath so far it seem that Regent is the only radio company ouyt there that seems to be doing ok and not getting into any problems (financially)

Cute repeating my question to you.. not really more like annoying.
Ok I just thought I would see how old you are, because I am guessing your a teenager who doesn't know one thing on how to use a spell checker when writing your responses.I am not here to start anything just suggest that you do use spell checker so that other people can understand you is all. So you like the mix of the oldies to the 70's and 80's and all that they play on both 102.9 and 94.3? Well I can tell you this.. they are hoping to simulcast 94.3 on 102.9 as well.
 
Wow.Thank you for your advise. I did not no their was a spell checker until you told me. yOu must be a really great radio person because your posting a lot and you said you ran a discussion board befour the internet. I love Macks FM and glad there on two stations now.ThAnk you for correcting me! Is their another board I am missing? ??? :-\ :'(
 
Did I here Tim Dunbar on Max FM? I have been listening and I will tell you this, I thought I herd him on there and if tha is true, then good for him! I drove around Severence again yesterday and still could not find ANy sign of KYENs tower or offices. I do not like that one bit! I will use Map qwest to find them and let yous know! ???

Your so funny Kneel, you make me laugh sometimes...

I hate to break your happeniess but I already knew ahead of time what was going on with 102.9, expect that no one knows until tommorow what 102.9 well become at all or what the website is.
You know about Tim, that would be an interesting thing to hear him on 94.3 that he went north of Denver for the first time ever in his radio career. But then again if you really did hear him good for him on actually leaving the Denver radio market for the first time. I am guessing he is like a floater since he has been doing fill ins on KOOL and The Wolf as of a late.
THe one thing about talking to a Dj either from THe Point to Tri-102 or 94.3 is they won't be able to tell you much at all, something about wanting to keep it a secret until it launches.

So everyone tomorrow MORNING 102.9 well be a different station (whatever that could be) on the other board we are all wondering what the format well be, what Mark has in store but as i was informed by a nice insider Mark has been a very busy beaver as of late to get 102.9 going as a new station and apperently Michael Stone is no longer the pD for 102.9 and 94.3 seems like (as i was told) he got demoted from that position and Mark is back at the helm again.

Hey Kneel this isn;t a contest on who gets the info first at all, if you get something new about 102.9 cool, sweet and good for you! That means you are into radio and that you love radio justd as much as i do or anyone else on both boards. :)
 
Michael Stone was demoted ??? And yOU said Mark was a nice guy becuase he did this new station just for the listeners!

He must jiust be nice to listeneres because he must not be nice too his own employees for canning Miachael Stone like that!!! well see if he stayus nice to the listeners. He must be a nice man(but I dont understand why he being heartless like Stu), and canning MicHael Stone for no thing!! Was Michaels things in a box at the door?
