More on Michael Savage

J

john23

Guest
Now that it's come to a conclusion - here's a peek into some drama in the past few weeks for those who are interested:

May 30 - WCER, Canton picks up Michael Savage noon-3 weekdays. Savage's syndicator, Talk Radio Network, gives the ok even though WHLO, Akron already carries Michael Savage 6-9pm and most of WCER's coverage area falls inside of WHLO's.

June 15 - WHLO discovers that WCER is carrying the show and tells WCER to take it off the air

June 16 - Talk Radio Network contacts WCER and tells them that the show must be off the air the following day because they have discovered that TRN broke their contract with WHLO by signing another contract with WCER (TRN's exclusivity clause in the contract, does in fact mention signal coverage, not city of license). WCER asks for a more reasonable amount of time to find a replacement.

June 21 - TRN again contacts WCER and says they (TRN) are going to be sued - the show must be off the air the following day - they then shut down satellite receiver authorization for their channel. Later in the day, they agree to let WCER carry Savage through Friday, June 24.
 
Interesting take John.

I'm sure those WCER Canton/Akron liners and the promos WCER were airing that said and I quote "Akron's Home of Michael Savage" did not help your cause.

Were you planning on airing Savage at night and accidently keeping the power raised as you did for those 12 Rudy Pi Football and basketball games?

Poor little WCER...Always the victim...read on:

WCER...Akron?

> Savage" did not help your cause.

This sure came out of nowhere. I hadn't heard WCER was carrying Savage. I can barely pick them up here (old Northampton Twp. area of Akron/Cuy. Falls).

It doesn't make any sense to me. The station carrying Savage at all, the station carrying the show noon-3 (against RUSH, for crying out loud, on nearly a day's tape delay?), or claiming any significant Akron coverage or listeners.

The rather charitable "for entertainment purposes only" Radio-Locator.com signal map has their main signal ("Local") cutting off roughly just north of downtown Akron. But given noise on the AM band and stuff like that, their usable, sellable signal does probably not reach much further north than the 277/224/77 interchange.

http://www.wcer.us/programs.htm

Anyway, if Keith's correct on this and they did indeed proclaim themselves as "Akron's Home of Michael Savage", that's kinda silly, since Savage airs on Akron-licensed WHLO live 6-9 PM. It reminds me of a newsgroup nut in another market which proclaimed Rush Limbaugh could ONLY be heard on a far outside of suburban AM in his market, when Rush's show aired live on a 50,000 watt flamethrower IN the market.

WCER now wins my official "Rimshot Market Target Award" for June. The previous two months, the award was held by WJMP/1520 "Kent/Akron/Cleveland". ;)

Lol - I thought I left any "take" out of it. Whether TRN told us the truth about what you were telling them is a good question. I'm not trying to make any enemies....I guess I should have made that clear up front and invited you to tell your side of the story. I think TRN is the one who should be slammed if anyone. You were just trying to protect your business.
But where'd you hear those liners and promos? My Savage as an alternative to Rush Limbaugh promos were a bit provocative - I'm surprised you didn't mention those, but I guess you weren't really listening. The only thing we've aired remotely close to that quote was when we first picked up Dr. Laura - "My new home in Canton and Akron" - obviously we wanted to pick up any listeners who may have been fans when you had her.
So what is your side of the story? If you have any corrections to make, please do, I'd like to hear what TRN told you!

Edit:
One other promo you might have heard and gotten confused - it featured a clip with Michael Savage saying "Akron, Ohio - Mark, you're on the Savage Nation, go ahead please". <P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by JohnAmrhein on 06/23/05 12:06 PM.</FONT></P>
 
Re: WCER...Akron?

Why not? It's a popular syndicated show that we thought WHLO didn't have exclusivity for.

the station carrying the show noon-3 (against
> RUSH, for crying out loud, on nearly a day's tape delay?)

Why not? You've got lots of choices if you want to hear Rush (WHLO, WTAM, WJR, WKBN). It's a well known marketing strategy - going for the other piece of the pie, providing an alternative. Admittedly, the tape delay put us at a disadvantage, but there was no sense repeating what WHLO was already doing live 6-9.

If it were true.

One of my reasons for this question is simple: Are you trying to slowly become a secular talk station? WCER has, as long as it's been using those calls, been a Christian talk/teaching station. The secular talk is, as far as I know, a relatively recent addition. With O'Reilly and Dr. Laura on the schedule, along with fringe talker Alex Jones in AM drive, and assuming you pick up a secular conservative talker to run in middays in place of Savage, are you officially now a talk station that also airs religion?

Savage is also quite controversial, to the point that Salem (another noted religious broadcaster owning conservative talk stations) won't air him in many of its markets, including Cleveland.

I can understand if you thought you could pick up the show...as I noted elsewhere, many national shows have run in both Akron and Canton, or Akron and Cleveland. You carry O'Reilly nights, and WNIR carries him weekends. Even discounting the fact that WHLO is owned by Clear Channel and carries Rush in tandem with CC's WTAM, a few years ago locally owned WAKR carried Rush...though on a one hour delay.

It does appear the problem was TRN's, in not recognizing WHLO's market exclusivity.

Not only that, your night signal is pretty anemic. :D

But the tape delay...the show's almost 20 hours old by that point. Anyone who cared enough to hear Savage probably picked him up on WHLO the night before. It's an interesting "alternative", to be sure, but you run the risk of him covering things that had changed between 9 PM and 12 noon.

> > or claiming any significant Akron coverage or listeners.
>
> If it were true.

No matter what the composition of your on-air promos, it's kinda silly to claim Akron at all with that signal...even if it's telling folks straining to hear you north of I-277 that they can pick up Dr. Laura, now that she's no longer on WHLO. If you count "Akron" as the city of Green, or maybe Firestone Park, perhaps. :)

Heck, it's almost a stretch if WHLO claimed to be "Akron and Cleveland's new home of Glenn Beck", and they get better coverage up there than you do in the Akron market. (Note: I haven't heard any liners on WHLO claiming to be Cleveland's new Glenn Beck affiliate, though the Beck website lists WHLO under "Akron/Cleveland", an obvious nod to the loss of WTAM.)

Now that this has been brought up, I'll have to check out WCER and see what you guys are doing down there. It'll be interesting to see if you get any ratings traction in Canton by running Dr. Laura, and whatever you find to replace Savage...

Another thing which on the surface isnt related:WCER has been running some AKRON Parochial School sports events the last few years. They must get some kind of signal there in Akron..

The short answer - yes. But our philosophy is similar to Salem's - message over money to a point. Trying to add traditional preaching programs into a talk station and creating a coherent format is proving a challenge, but that's what we're going for - an alternative conservative talk station that also provides Christian teaching. Think of it as Political, Family, and Religious talk from a traditional perspective. Look for some new/tighter imaging in a couple weeks.

And TOTALLY covered by WHLO's. Our Daytime 500 watts goes a little bit further south than their nighttime 500 watts, but they definitely have the signal advantage.

AM coverage area will always be a point of argument I think, between listeners and those who work at lower power stations :) With a good radio - WCER's signal is ok up to the turnpike, but with the quality of most of today's radios, you are probably correct. We also have a bit of an engineering situation with another station that is causing our signal to be directional to the south. This should be fixed in a few months, so we'll see if our Akron coverage improves then...

They get that signal in Akron by leaving their transmitter in full power mode..something they have been fined for once by the FCC..and something that has been noted on this board over the winter of 2005..

In order to get ratings you have to market your radio station..and unless you happen to land on WCER by accident you would never know it was there..>

Since it was being talked about here, I turned on WCER at about 1 this afternoon. You guys apparently lost TRN's key to the Savage feed the night before, as I was hearing religious programming and not the Savage Nation...

I drove through much of Cuyahoga Falls, figuring that'd be a good test for how far north your signal goes. My fairly decent car radio got WCER as a listenable distant station...until I drove under power lines, when I totally lost the signal. Even accounting for what I think might be an intermittent grounding problem on my car radio, you probably shouldn't count Cuyahoga Falls on your potential listener list...or for that matter, up to the Turnpike. Unless you don't drive near power lines...

Hmm, trying to figure out which station you're talking about. 900 out of Hamilton, Ontario?

lol - that's a different type of problem altogether, but one that probably can't be fixed.
It's actually a problem with WRQK's tower not being detuned properly and sitting only a hundred feet or so away from ours. We've been told it's actually causing a null in our signal pattern roughly in the Barberton direction. They're supposed to be putting up a new tower, at which time the problems will be able to be corrected.

Not in your market, but raad your format idea with some interest.

I hope the format works for you. That idea almost bankrupted a station down here in Florida.

I was the OM for a station that had been strictly "Christian" for about 15 years when the owner decided to try for a "positive talk and teaching" format.
He took off the contemporary Christian music segments, left the preaching/teaching blocks (Focus, Dr. Stanley, etc.)intact and added local
conservative talk from 1 pm til 6pm (its sign-off time.)

It started off..well, OK, but then a number of the preachers cancelled, the music crowd all left and the billing fell from 11k (not great, but..)to
about 4k a month. Not a single advertiser in a market of 235,000 would buy time.
One of the Christian advertisers that had been on the station 24 years called and cancelled and never came back. Tried putting Medved on from 4-6, that lasted
less than 3 months.

I finally took it to preaching and Southern Gospel 10 months later when my paychecks started bouncing. Two years later, it was billing 10k with s. gospel.
Then the owner (who lives 1000 miles away) said "my wife doesn't care for that kind of music." He started talking about trying talk again and I turned in my retirement papers. Hated to do it, but some jobs are not worth the struggle.

Station has preachers and satellite talk now and not half a dozen listeners
and negligible billing. It's being sold to a Catholic organization now as it is just not making it.

So, yes, John, you have a challenge, and I hope you can make it work. Just don't let any swear words get on the air (one of the local hosts said d***
and we got bookooooodles of complaints)or the Christian aspect will sink.
Been through it. Good luck!<P ID="signature">______________

WAKR had Rush? I didn't know that... I was aware that WAKR, in their N/T phase, did carry ESPN's Fabulous Sports Babe from 10a-12p and 1p-3p, in addition to Gary Burbank from 3p-6p. (Afternoons later were ESPN's Tony Kornheiser 1p-4p, and Phil Ferguson from 4p-7p...)

If WAKR did carry Rush, it had to have been for a very brief time, indeed.

> It does appear the problem was TRN's, in not recognizing

If WCER and WHLO were under the same ownership, this strategy could have been feasible. Obviously, they are not... but could WJER/1450 do the same thing and get away with it?

CC's lib/progtalker in Columbus, WTPG/1230, has Springer in AMD - a full 21-hour DELAY! (Stephanie Miller gets the live 9-12 clearance...)

In Minneapolis/St. Paul, Salem has not one, but TWO (!) conservatalkers. One of them airs Savage live, the other in tape delay in AMD. (How's THAT for a wake-up call?)

Yes, sometime in the 90's, WAKR did carry Rush...1-4 PM, on a one hour delay, after their noon news block. It did not last long, as you suspect. I believe they carried him at the beginning of their news/talk experiment, and he may not have lasted a year. At some point, WAKR figured out that everyone in the Akron market was listening to Rush on 1100, with a much better signal, live. (The situation with Rush on WHLO is a different story.)

I am sure it was before 1994, because I know I heard it, and I moved out of the market in early 1994. Or maybe I heard it while visiting? I don't have the timeline down. I also remember hearing Phil's afternoon sports talk show.

WJER is, at this moment, still being run by Mr. Natoli in a reverse LMA that's about to expire. But CC would obviously have to give the green light for them to carry shows that are on WHLO, since they're the licensee of both 101.7 and 1450. I don't think they'd care, or Keith, Jerry and Mr. Lankford would put up any stink if for some reason Natoli decided to do this at the end of his LMA, because we're talking New Philly here, and the station makes no attempt to even try to reach Canton, even if it could.

And besides, at this point, Natoli is one foot out the door on Boulevard. (Paging WJER-FM format speculators! :D Though I don't know if CC is going to do anything big with 101.7 until they get the green light to move it north...)

> CC's lib/progtalker in Columbus, WTPG/1230, has Springer in

Yeah, that's odd. But Stephanie Miller has been doing pretty well for WTPG, and they don't wanna mess with her. (Well, of course, within the expectations for the format on that 1,000 watt signal with a new format.) CC's only other choice would have been to blow out Beck on WTVN/610, mirroring what WTAM did, but I suspect A) the presence of a libtalker in their cluster and B) the obvious 6-9 AM opening (drubbing Morning Sedition) made this call easier for them.

I'm very curious to see if Steph will do just as well on 1350 up here, by the way. It sure can't hurt. You can probably thank Jim Rome for WTOU even showing up in the Akron book.

> In Minneapolis/St. Paul, Salem has not one, but TWO (!)

Yipes, I can barely handle Savage after 6 PM! He sounds weird to me when the sun hasn't gone down yet, and he used to run live in afternoon drive at a west coast talk station I may have been associated with some years back...

The thought of a "WHK-2" in Northeast Ohio is also enough to give me the shakes.

Heck, 1220 is "WHKW..." so there's always the possibility. Sorry.

May not need to show the links, cause it's scary enough to mention... but:
WWTC AM/1280: The Patriot
KYCR AM/1570: The Patriot II

One correction: Savage is delayed to 8p-11p (9p-12a) on WWTC - but he IS still on in morning drive from 6a-8a (7a-9a) on KYCR...

Re: WCER...Akron? (And Rush once on WAKR?)

Thanks-Thought it was fitting.
The years that I worked at the station I think I saw Darth P. once or twice; Yet would come in from time to time and wreak havoc on the very people that made the station such a great place. It's a shame the employees have to deal with such a maniac; I wish them the best of luck when the station leaves the Dover/Phila. area...
