Riggie,
Do you still VT afternoons in Louisville? It was strange listening to you there (after hearing you all these years in Tampa) when I was in town on business...

Nope. They made the Fox an Alternative on premium choice. I segued over to nights on QMF. That's my hometown so I do whatever I've got to stay on there.

Yeah, it was so unsuccessful that they made them the morning show a few weeks ago. Doesn't make any negative statement regarding team shows in the afternoon, they were just better than what the station had been doing in the morning (and think about what you said.. they were a success a few weeks ago but it no longer holds true today? Do things change that fast?)

Of course things don't change that fast. QYK was "king of the heap" for a long time and it seemed everything worked. They even had Skip Mahaffey winning awards on TV ( where is he ?) Mix seems to be in a constant retooling mode. I like the music and it would be cool if something worked. Magic never changes but is always "new". That is amazing. Hot AC's that I've listened to online seem to have a similiar sound like in Minneapolis, Akron, Virginia Beach, and the venerable WPLJ . I think Magic sucks and I'd love to see Mix be a success. As in Pittsburgh, I think WSHH ( like Magic) is boring and Star 100.7 is better for my tastes. It just seems PM teams are rare and I hope it works, but I thought Hot AC is about the music and most don't even use a jingle package. If they are going to run a talk show in PM drive, I guess I'll stick with Q105 . For those who care (?) and since I have never been contacted by Arbitron , my presets are Magic, Mix, the Point, Q105, WDUV, and WXGL. That is just my number one presets. I consider 4 of those by default.
If WJQB had a consistent signal in Tampa, I would put it on my first presets. Even though I am a "liberal", I don't enjoy listening to WMNF cause I find it too talky and it's just preaching to the converted in my case. I want music intensive programming , but with live jocks kinda like a Drake/Chennault station. Know any? If Mix would go live 24/7 and do it like Drake, I'd be in radio nirvana. Hot AC is really CHR minus Rap and Heavy Metal ( although that might not be what it is called anymore) and I think a Drake approach would be refreshing and innovative.

The new website is up. Elvis Duran looks nothing like Elvis or anybody in Duran Duran. He needs to return the name and take something that fits his look like Bill Howser. Chris Randolph is a great radio face. Kristi Knight is still there and so is Tesh. Robo keeps his/her gig from 2AM to 6AM. I sorta felt for Robo's family if Tesh was moved into overnights.
What is the target-market of the asinine new morning show? Where exactly is the Elvis Duran show "hot?" I listened briefly this morning on my drive in ... on three separate occasions ... and I can't get past asinine. I seriously don't think that I will even try to listen again.

Since it must origionate from Z100 in NYC, I would presume 18 to 21. I guess it is hot if the publicity folks say it is.
LOL - yes, perhaps I am too old ... although I really don't care for the Dove or Warm either; however, I find the new morning show's "schtick" to be distasteful. They did read some emails from listeners this morning and it appears that their listeners are in high school. I hope the target market's audience has enough $$$$ to keep the show's advertisers in business ... and if not, I hope their parents do! Plus, their high schoolers are all in school by 7:30 am and really aren't listening beyond that point - so why even have the last hour and a half - IMH and OLD Opinion.
