Unfortunately, I disagree with all of your "predictions"

They won't split the MIX am team like that...either they'll keep what they've got right now, or get a new morning team (likely female)
 
Predictions for T-O

Try getting the town name right before you make the prediction.

Even the 'professional' prediction makers are only at 4%, so everyone could predict away, and eventually one of us would be right...

*i hear that !!! : ) they need to shake it up -
[esp..the one male talent, seems to 'old' to be on z103]

it always, seeems...z103/hits103 would just have
'anyone' on the morning show..until they replace them, and
'try' the new voices for a while, and have them just sit there
...*ALSO* tell me this,why is it always, "new" on z103 ?

(the 'new' morning show)
(the 'new z103')<--it has been at least ?/3 years now...

-also, on 103.5fm - -was gonna post this as another post,
but..it seems there SummeRush--is a unbelievable, LONG List
of established Artists!! and then the next year, is an abbrev.
short list of local/toronto up and coming artists...why ??

They should drop "New".
The law about groceries that say "New" (New cheesier KD etc.) is aparantly 6 months, but for radio, no law...hmmm...

Also duely note that the Current morning show is going to be around forever because Scott Fox (aka Scott Chapman) is Gary Gamble's son, Gary is the PD for sister station Foxy 88five, and Gary also has his own voice over business.

Mr. Bill Evanov is enjoying the Father/son combo a little too much to spend (alot) more money on new staff.<P ID="signature">______________

Re: z103/*new post

Mad Dog and Erin? Oh man..no thanks.

I can't say I always love Scott, Dave and Mel but each member of that show has their own personality, and it usually works. Myself, I don't care about what happened on The OC or Desperative Housewives, but judging from the number of women I see reading that shi* on the GO train, I figure they must be right on the money talking about it. It is popular culture. Dave really adds to the show because he's SO cynical. Sure beats the perpetual upbeat "its a great day" sound that too many stations have. U know, I have more than 1 mood..

Any one else like Biggs? I think he's one of the more credible and real guys on the radio. He's not polished but he seems pretty real to me. When it was really humid and hot, he had no qualms about whining about the heat, and saying hey, I'm a fat guy, and fat guys hate heat". Would you hear that anywhere else?

I dont think Bill has much doing at the station anymore. Isn't it Paul running the show? Regardless, Z103 sounds alot better now than it did a mere 2 years ago. Good for them.

Would you prefer the more realistic option of Mad Dog(Jay) and Billie?

Z sounds good but the lack of dance I dont like but I guess thats the trend these days....hip hop and now this stupid reggaeton.
 
Re: z103/*new post

I think the lack of dance has to do alot with the lack of dance hits that exist out there. Of course, if I say that too loud, the dance guys down the block will come and skin my as* :?)

There isn't alot of big dance out there right now, but I hope they get the Xavier - Give Me The Night single going.

The lack of Dance hits is most likely NOT the problem, as CIDC(Z103) is FAMOUS for somehow finding a dance version of the(non dance) hit music found on WKSE (Buffalo-Kiss 98.5), Traditionally speaking.<P ID="signature">______________

Lately, their dance stock sucks, but then dance music isn't at the peak lately.

Well, on the bright side, at least you can still make a request for a way back play back dance tune, and they'll gladly play it within the hour of a request show.<P ID="signature">______________

That is a fabulous idea, they would be playing an eclectic mix from Beethoven to 9" Nails. Throw in some Sinatra old DISCO and the some new dance tunes - a station for the whole listening public.
Both got hammered by Ted's co., then three months from now they can take over at CFRB.

**They will too *** i requested PJ happy days, when
there was a fill in for biggs..and john Wood(something) was
happy to play it and gimme a shout out. i had to emaiL it in-
cause of the phones being soo buzy.. it is AMAZING/AWESOME
that they sincerely will play requests; and will play the
requests..say wkse-fm wont touch....ever !
( such as... love is paradise 1st base; ANY SONG by 2unlimited,
culture beat, elissa, etc, angelmoon, etc.. Not just the 'one hit ' !! : )
but any song that ever have played...will be GLAD to repeat on
the aire again, versus k-98/5FM, that once the next "barbie girl"
novelity hit is off the charts..it is erased from wkse---for the most
part, not at CIDC!! gotta luv those guys...

z-103,is still da best !

I think Z will pick up on more Dance tracks in the future, they have done this before 3 or 4 times, where it seems like they are tweaking dance out of the playlist, but they always come back. Right now, they have that major Reggeaton Craze going, so if that is what is getting requests, than they have to serve their audience, and most importantly, keep the advertisers happy. I just dont see Reggeaton lasting, it will burn out, and they will jump on Dance again. Has anyone noticed that they are playing less Rock, as well. There was a time when z, or Hits1035 one, was leaning heavier on Rock in the past as well, they keep evolving, but never drop any music genre completely, but always have a strong lean on a certain genre. Wouldnt you guys agree?

Thursday, 4:50pm, afternoon drive: Happy birthday to a teenager that just turned 15, and wanted to hear AC DC. They played the LONG unedited ROCK version of "You shook me all night long"

I was expecting to hear the rare dance mix version...but they actually played the version they played instead. What the heck are they doing over there?<P ID="signature">______________
