I just don't get it.
You people cried when 96.9 switched and then you cry when the format comes back on a different station

I've thought the same thing, but bottom line, as much as I liked Cool 96.9, I have yet to experience "good times" by listening to Kool 100.7. Of course they've never promised such an effect, but oldies should sound more FUN.

As it is now, and I'm sure some would agree with me, Kool 100.7 still sounds like Arrow, but with a little Motown in place of the Boston. It's an oldies "shuffle" followed by some spots and another "shuffle." Really, that's all we have, and it's disappointing. (Sure, Arf has started doing mornings, and he's OK with me, since I was used to listening to him on Arrow. I'm talking about the other 20 hours a day of auto-pilot.)

Yeah, we should be happy that SOMEONE is playing the music, but what now? The station isn't finished. I look forward to hearing who's behind the curtain ready to go, whenever that is, but for now, I'm just about all burned out.

For what it's worth, there was no reason to wait for non-competes to run out when local radio (and 96.9) veteran AJ Davis is on the Renda staff already. Briggs and/or Baron could have rounded out the schedule in the interim. Then they would have sounded more complete and would have been able to make a human connection from DAY ONE. They could also have built up the arrival of "our old friend Tom Murphy, back from a long vacation and ready to take back the microphone..." for example.

And it goes without saying (OK, I'm saying it) that when some oldies-experienced humans are in the studio, they can help shape up the musical rotation.
 
misunderstanding

You don't read so well. What we're saying is the attempt to re-create Oldies in Jacksonville is lame by Renda. 96.9 wasn't the greatest but this isn't even close.

10 days huh?

yes, but we keep hearing that, about once a month. And it NEVER seems to
actually happen.

Strangely enough, considering how close we are to the six-month-mark since the demise of the old Cool, this statement actually might mean something for once.

Just saying... :)

yes
Its not 96.9, but its still oldies and maybe they are trying NOT to identify with old 96.9<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by mustangrio on 06/18/05 11:55 AM.</FONT></P>
 
not unreasonable to ask

Nobody's asking them to identify with 96.9 or even hire their old jocks (at least not be). I think they'd have been smart to dump the "Kool" (which is misspelled)
name and start all over again.

All many of us are asking is would Renda please put some time, effort and expertise into 100.7 so we get a Jacksonville-caliber Oldies station? Kool 100.7
is Gainesville-Ocala caliber radio.

Re: not unreasonable to ask

if the new talent was decent listeners would forget about the old jocks very quickly.

gee, ya think?

Hey, kindly put that "idiot" talk somewhere in your small-market duffel bag.

Of course, I KNOW they didn't spell it wrong accidentally-- but does anybody have a good reason to spell it incorrectly ON PURPOSE?

Didn't think so.

Re: not unreasonable to ask

Talk about needing an anger management course. WCRZX, sounds like you took an anger enhancement course given by Martha Stewart.

you probably already know this, Soup

the cat probably works there. They are being VERY defensive these days. Guess the truth is indeed hard to swallow.

KOOL: "if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen".

:eek:)

Make no mistake, the current version of KOOL should NOT be compared to Gainesville-Ocala radio....that's a big slap in the face to Gainesville-Ocala radio!

Jacksonville is a big market with a LOT of radio history. WAPE was a major winner for years on both AM and FM. Y103 got national attention. The Point used to be one of the most successful 80's station in America. WKQL was one of the nations most successful oldies stations for years. WQIK is now one of the biggest country success stories. Certainly, there are others.

EVERY station in this market needs to sound big-time. There's no excuse for sounding like crap in market #49!
 
Re: gee, ya think?

> Tell that to the folks at KOOL in Phoenix (their call letters) and KOOL 105 in Denver (KXKL). It's all subjective. And, besides, the spelling of KOOL is probably the least of their problems at this point. If the station sounded as the good as their logo looks, this discussion would be moot.
