MIX + TIME + MONEY = TOP 5

M

made_U_look

I might be a lil drunk but I think that if Mix continues to go the way that its going,I realy see them hitting top 5 in the market.I have listen to them for about 2 moths strait at work and I like what I hear.I think the afternoon guy sounds good and the night guy sounds good too.The station is getting support from up above........

DO I HAVE A POINT OR AM I JUST DRUNK?????
 
Mix is sounding good these days! Better than Z!!!!
 
I disagree. Travatto has done a great job bringing new shows to Mix 96.1 and also I like Mo Bounce. However, I predict Z is on it's way up. Even though it's a trend, Z almost went up a whole point. As Z continues to evolve to a Rhythmic format. I see Z surpassing Mix 96.1 in 3 months if not sooner.

I dont see that happening. I think people are pretty much done with Z.
 
I know us radioheads are tired of Z. However, your average listener is not. And that's why I think Z will catch up to Mix and eventually surpass Mix.
 
SARADIO- what exactly does Z offer that Mix doesn't do better?
 
I think that its all about momentum(I cant spell for $hit). Z has no momentum!!!!!! Mix is getting on the ball and doing some things that they have never done!!!
1)San Antonio is not big enough for two Hip Hop stations.
2)The Beat will win over unless the competitor comes hard, strong, and with lots of money and the OK from above to be #1
3) Whit that said even if Z plays more hip hop,They will not make a dent, because cox does NOT come hard, strong and with lots of money and they DONT want Z in the top 5.
4)SIMPLE AS IT IS.....Z HAS NO MORNING SHOW......THE FOUNDATION OF A STATION......THEY HAVE NO FOUNDATION.......
5) WHAT I CANT BELIVE IS THE MONEY COX SPENDS ON RESEARCH AND THE STATION SOUNS LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN 2001.
 
I DARE SOMEONE TO LOOK UP ALL RECURRENTS Z PLAYS AND THE RECURRENTS THAT MIX PLAYS AND THERE ONE WILL SEE HOW CONSERVATIVE COX RUNS THAT STATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
If Cox doesnt want 106.7 to succeed in anything, why dont they just simalcast KKYX on 106.7, put Z1067 on HD-1 format, and maybe just maybe put 1067 jamz on HD-2 format.
 
You have to remember Cox isn't about making Z #1 or in the Top 5. Cox just wants to use Z to make a dent in the Top station and that's The Beat. Cox is all about making sure their other stations succeed and roll in the cash. As far as a morning show goes, Jack doesn't have a morning show either, yet their #10 and moving up. Z not having a morning show won't be as damaging as you may think. The ratings will be out again on July 31st. That should give us a good idea if Z continues it's positive gain.

Again, I like what Travatto has done with Mix 96.1. I'm glad that he was willing to take a chance with the mix shows and Open House Party.
 
I don't know Travatto. Anybody know anything about him? What kind of programmer is he?

As far as Z goes, their morning show is their PD. He's also the APD of the country station. He's overworked. And his staff is made up of people who should be in markets the size of Abilene.
 
I think if Travatto keeps this up I can really see mix really going up he has really done a great job with Mix...., as far as Z if they dont do anything else besides just adding more hiphop to the playlist I can just see them around 2 shares.
 
I said Morning Show is the foundation...............I have to explain it further............

THAT IS TRUE FOR A CHR RADIO STATION NOT FOR AN ADULT HIT STATION,ANYONE WILL TELL YOU THAT....

SO JACK REALLY DOES NOT NEED ONE, BUT Z DOES AND THEY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ONE BUT THE PROBLEM IS MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S ALL ABOUT FINDING A NICH AND STICKING TO IT.........CONSISTENCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EVEN IS Z PLAYS MORE HIP HOP, GENERAL PUPLIC HEAR DIFFERENT THINGS ALL THE TIME FROM Z........

WITH THE BEAT......YOU KNOW YOUR GOING TO HEAR HIP HOP AND R & B NO MATER WHAT.....
WITH MIX.........YOU KNOW YOUR GOING TO HEAR A BLEND OF MUSIC BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THAT WAY......
WITH Z ............YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT FOUND A NICH AND THE MUSIC THEY PLAY IS NOT FRESH,
BY THE TIME THAT Z PLAYS A "NEW RECORD", IT'S AN OLD, TIERD SONG IN THE MARKET........
RESEARCH IS A GREAT TOOL TO PROGRAM BUT IT SOULD NOT BE THE ONLY ONE..........
CONSERVATIVE THINKING WILL ALWAYS BE THE DOWN FALL..........

...............WAIT WAIT I HAVE TO SAY THIS OR SOME SMART A$$ WILL TRY TO CORRECT ME......

.............ALL THIS COMENTS ALL OPINIONS ONLY......AND FOR CHR RADIO STATIONS ONLY........

.........DIFFERENT RULES APPLY FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
