I didn't say that you were the ONLY one. I'm saying that you are always quick to point out that Kiss is poorly programmed. I'm saying that the ratings don't agree with you.

I don't mean this in a bad way at all, but at your age, I also thought that I could do radio better than the local stations. Turned out I was wrong. It's easy to armchair program. It's MUCH harder to do the real thing.<P ID="signature">______________

Kiss sucks? Have you looked at the ratings? I entirely disagree with you...

Here's the thing: Back when I was a PD, I successfully programmed a couple of AC stations. Why was I successful? Because I didn't like AC! You see, it allowed me to program a radio station that the audience liked, not what I liked. What I hear from you and Jeremy is that "Kiss sucks". I'm saying that comparatively speaking (across the country) Kiss's numbers are pretty solid. That tells me that even though you don't like it, the listeners do.

That's what counts.<P ID="signature">______________

I believe the reason they say Kiss FM sucks is because the station is still listed as a CHR/Pop when the station is sounding very much like a CHR/Rhythmic station. I know CHR/Pop is in a rut right now, I believe that if Kiss FM wants to go rhythmic, then the station should change the format to CHR/Rhythmic rather than still being called CHR/Pop. I haven't been up to Milwaukee this year and not sure what pop tunes are being played to keep it as a Pop station, but just my opinion, why not just go all rhythmic and be a CHR/Rhythmic station, or is billing different for a station that goes rhythmic vs. pop?
 
> Kiss's rating does suck,too.

If you think those numbers suck, I'd hate to see what they'd need before you'd call the numbers good.

From today's book. They're average but a full point lower then last summer part 1. And they did have more rock stuff in rotation last year then they did during the summer part 1 period this year.

The station is usually top 10 and has been since it took off in 1998-1999. Top 10 is not bad at all.

Their glory days were between 1998 and 2000. Back then the ratings were good, the music was good and didn't always constantly lean rhythmic (even though it did at times) and it was a station that everybody just loved to listen to. Now (at least around here) it seems like its just there.

I still think its because they're the only CHR in town

But 12+ doesn't mean anything right?

Also, I appoligize for constantly going on about it. Its the #1 thing that urks the hell out of me so its kind of hard for me to help it.<P ID="signature">______________

Couple of things:

1. As far as the ratings for 1998 - 2000 go, if you look at AccuTrack, yes, they were higher. If you look at Arbitron, they were a little higher, but not much. The only time in the last few years the ratings took a huge dip was in the fall of 2003. Van McNeil has a great personality on and off the air but for most of his time as the night guy, there wasn't enough music being played per hour. And generally speaking, the music released in the fall of 2003 was pretty weak. He is currently doing a spectacular job as Kiss FM's afternoon jock.

2. After making the most dramatic playlist "re-vamp" in Winter 2003, the ratings did not change a great deal. Is there a change they would have dropped within one or two books had they not made those changes? Absolutely. If the research was showing the core audience (women 18 - 34) would prefer to not hear those rock songs that were dropped (Aerosmith, Nirvana, Live, Bush, Good Charlotte, Stone Sour, etc etc), then it was wise to drop them.

3. Rock songs from May 2004 - end of July 2004 (Phase 1):

Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue
Switchfoot - Meant To Live
Finger Eleven - One Thing
Los Lonely Boys - Heaven
Evanescence - My Immortal (Note: received 2 - 5 spins per week beginning June 20th)
Maroon 5 - This Love (Note: played once outside of club kiss and AT40 between July 3rd and July 25th)
Hoobastank - The Reason (Note: was not played outside of club kiss and AT40 between July 11th and July 25th)

Rock songs from May 2005 - end of July 2005 (Phase 1):

Howie Day - Collide
Lifehouse - You And Me
Papa Roach - Scars
Crossfade - Cold (if Linkin Park is considered rock then so is the hip hop remix of this song)
Simple Plan - Untitled
Killers - Mr. Brightside (until June 11th)
Rob Thomas - Lonely No More
3 Doors Down - Let Me Go (until June 4th)
Gavin DeGraw - Chariot (until June 4th)

Count 'em up! 7 (2004) to 9 (2005). And in my opinion, the Howie Day, Lifehouse, Papa Roach, and Rob Thomas songs are better than most of last summer's rock songs (but not much better than Ocean Avenue-that was the big summer jam).

4. If you like/liked any of the rhythmic currents, recurrents, and/or golds they played back in 2000, a lot of those are on the gold list now. These songs include:

Sir Mix A Lot - Baby Got Back
Jay-Z - Big Pimpin'
Da Brat - What'chu Like
Paperboy - Ditty
P. Diddy - I'll Be Missing You
Blackstreet - No Diggity
Snoop Dogg - Gin & Juice
Salt 'N Pepa - Shoop
Destiny's Child - No, No, No

Plus several others.

Here's the rub Jeremy...you are projecting your feelings about the station as being fact. It's not.

To say that it's no longer the station "everyone loved to listen to" is simply not fact. Do you personally know a big enough sample of people for that to be an accurate statement? In fact even saying that it's the station "everyone loved to listen to" isn't stating a fact!

Again, it's easy to say "I hate them, therefore everyone does". That is simply not accurate, however. And if the #1 thing bugs you that bad, you need to get outside more! It's just radio. After 20 years in the biz, I've found that there are far more important things to worry about!! :)<P ID="signature">______________

I still don't see why they can't throw in at least an occational 90s/early 2000s Blink 182, Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox 20, No Doubt etc. I can understand the harder stuff but almost every other CHR I hear throws on at least 1 occational non rhythmic 90s gold usually during the middays and early afternoon. It makes it more mainstream.<P ID="signature">______________

A little hard RadioDoc. I don't think he meant #1 thing in life. Just the #1 thing in the world of radio.

Jeremey, I want you to read this post VERY carefully. The answer to what you don't understand ("why they can't throw in at least an..." OCCASIONAL not occational "...90s/early 200s..."

1. FOR EVERYONE: believe it or not, Jeremey is part of the core listening audience. Adults 18 - 34 is, according to Kiss FM's media kit, the primary listener concentration with women 18 - 49 being secondary.

2. What every other CHR station does is irrelevant. Programming on Y100 Miami is irrelevant to programming on Z100 New York. What WKSC does is irrelevant to WXSS.

3. Music taste varies from town to town. What's popular in Whitefish Bay differs from what's popular in South Milwaukee. What's popular in River Hills is different than what's popular in Greenfield. Kenosha's taste in music is not necessarily the same as Milwaukee--a city one hour away. Where does the greatest group of listeners live? The city of Milwaukee. The people who program Kiss FM take into account which areas of Milwaukee have the most listeners. Which area do you think prefers a more rhythmic selection? Whitefish Bay or South Milwaukee? South Milwaukee. Which town has more Kiss listeners? South Milwaukee. So while your age matches up with the core audience, your listening area is probably not of upmost priority.

4. But why not an occasional Matchbox 20? The Mix needs listeners too, right? The Mix needs their listeners to keep in mind, if you want Matchbox 20, No Doubt, Sarah McLaughlan, or the Goo Goo Dolls, you turn to the Mix. When a Mix DJ does a cash call and the listener answers Kiss FM (or something of the sort), after delivering the bad news the DJ usually says something along the lines of "we're glad you listen to our sister station".

5. Last but not least, the higest concentration of listeners does not identify with the 90s rock music you mentioned. Milwaukee is unique that way. You may not like it, but that's the way it is. Kiss FM's rhythmic strategy would probably not work as well in Madison. Why? Madison does not have as much of an urban population as Milwaukee. Z104 barely plays any golds. WKSC doesn't have any rock on their gold list that plays 1+ times every week.

In conclusion, what you consider to be mainstream and what all those other stations are doing out there with their gold list does NOT WORK for the Milwaukee area listeners. I hope this helped and for further info, you may visit the official website for Entercom Milwaukee's media kits. http://milwaukeeradioadvertising.com/stations.htm#

WKSC's rock golds include (From my own listening)

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris (occatinally slide)
Tonic - If You Could Only See
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge
Nickelback - How You Remind Me
Linkin Park - In The End


sometimes they play them several times a week, other times they don't. At the current time, its very light on rock and rhythmic leaning. Other times it can be more balenced and can include the rock golds.

As for the "DOES NOT WORK WITH MILWAUKEE LISTENERS" It worked for 5 years. I don't see how it would suddenly just abruptly stop.

And you are right about my listening area not being a high priority. We're not even surveyed by Arbitron I don't think so that pretty much leaves in one of the most unimportant areas even though its close to jumping Green Bay as the 3rd largest city in the state population wise.

As for the "Number 1 thing in life/radio" thing thats a bunch of crap. I'm doing the best I can to ignore it and listen to other stations. Sometimes when you hear another station either by DX or something else you get really jealous and annoyed. So I really can't help but to express my anger over the internet. I don't have any friends or anybody to talk to at all except over the internet so I really see no other way.

Kenosha County doesn't get rated in the Milwaukee Arbitron books because Kenosha County is rated with the Chicago books. Because of that, Kenosha County doesn't count as far as catering to the listeners in that county. Milwaukee is rated in Milwaukee, Racine, Waukesha, Ozaukee, & Washington Counties. So Milwaukee radio (not just Kiss FM) in general will focus on those counties and even more on the city of Milwaukee and nearby suburbs.

It's good that you can pickup stations from other markets, and since you live close to Lake Michigan, you're more likely to get stations from Michigan and NW Indiana. As far as not having any friends at all. All I'll say is you need to get out more and try to meet people. I don't have many friends myself, but at least I get out and go places and not focus my energy on one thing. In fact I was up in Milwaukee over the weekend and made a quick stop at the Circuit City store in Brookfield to checkout who was there from WMYX. I only hoped I would have seen Chris (Radiodoc) there. Unfortunately I didn't see him there. If he were there, then he must have been camoflauged (likely not spelled correctly) in all that geeky equipment, LOL!! ;.)
Just don't ask me how much of my trip was. All I'll say was it wasn't good. But didn't regret going to Milwaukee over the weekend.
As for Kiss FM, the only thing I do find annoying is the station sound more rhythmic, but called CHR/Pop in the various publications, including radioandrecords.com. Since it sounds more rhythmic, it should be classified CHR/Rhythmic.

I agree with you 100% there. I think if they want to be so rhythmic, they should go for it. It would make me feel tons better.

Actually, you're right. I misread what Jeremy wrote. I thought the was referring to Kiss calling itself "The #1 Hit Music Station" driving him crazy, since he didn't agree.

So I completely misunderstood him.

Again, I mean no disrespect...I'm just trying to understand. Why would it make you feel tons better? In the grand scheme of things it really doesn't matter what they call themselves, no?

Seriously - I just want to know what the problem is. It seems as though you take it personally or something. Kiss is a CHR, whether or not you like it really doesn't change that.<P ID="signature">______________

Thats a problem with me. I tend to take certain things personally. I've been diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome (Mild Autism) and was told that that makes me obsess over certain things like radio and certain stations. <P ID="signature">______________

Thanks for clarifying. Now it makes sense. Knowing that helps me understand what your point of reference is, and I appreciate you sharing that with me.<P ID="signature">______________
