The only thing really killing personality driven radio is bad management.

Are there bad jocks? Yep...but, you can have the best of both worlds if the station is run properly.

The FM rock stations of yesteryear (and some of them today...right here in Sac), know exactly how to strike that balance.

Really, there's KSEG doing a fantastic job with the music/programming/jocks, and then there's the rest of the market several notches below.
 
Please, KSEG??? Are you serious? The whole staff sounds like they're a hundred!!! I'm ready for Nakashima to keel over in his chair, he sounds so old. And it sure takes a lot of skill reading the liner notes on the music log. ;) So much for show prep. And that Derrik guy on there and on KWOD, and even on KSSJ!! Hey Curtissssss, can't you hire anyone that's not 60??? Or is that your grand plan to have just one jock on ALL of your stations at Killlistenerscom. I mean geez, let's get real. If I want to listen to entertaining geezers I'd listen to Joey or Big Jim! KSEG just sounds old, tired, and crusty. But I guess if that's what you're in to...
 
Wouldn't want you programming stations. Where did you get this notion that evey jock or announcer has to be under 35. One of KSEG's benefits that go with their numbers is that they have veterans that work there, that are not flash card readers, or just there to pay their bills.....they know the music. They 've been there.
Why would you want some 25 year old kid that sounds like he came out of the J street clubs last night on a station like that. Or any station that targets adults. Why would you want a 25 year old on the Eagle?...so he can talk about video games?
Listen to the 20-25 (possibly younger) that you hear on the End, Flash, Zone, .... (Boys from the men, Women from the girls).....it sure sounds it. And that's always been the problem with radio...even when they were good announcers (I've worked with them)...there in there just for the gig, but they don't relate personally with the format at all.
 
Don't want to be a PD. Thanks though. I already work for the best one in the market. My show is consistantly top 10, and I'm not 60...not even close...

next???

Agreed that a jock needs to be able to relate to the listener, regardless of age. Classic Rock, Urban AC (V101) and Oldies stations should have personalties that are more seasoned.

But no matter what age...he should sound engaging, I've heard jocks who I thought might need a respirator to do a break.

I do think that a CHR station should have personalities that are more youthful...this is why Rick Dees passed the perverbial torch to Ryan Seacrest, and segued into a more contemporary/rhythmic AC station, if not you have some creepy mid-40's man flirting with teenage girls and talking into Lean Like A Cholo
 
It's funny toward the end of your post about flirting with young girls.....you remind me of the history of Bandstand with the late Bob Horn. Most music listeners wouldn't realize that top 40 , hit radio, and the first pioneer artist that layed it all out were founded by men in their late 30's that looked like use car salesmen, in a suit and bow tie. Or an artist that was at the tail-end of his career in his genre, right before his music direction all of a sudden took a dramatic turn into what was to be called Rock N' Roll. (Joe Turner, Bill Haley) for example. Put it this way....the development of hit radio and music was not founded by teenage hearthrobs.
What I was saying about the youth, is that the sound like they were brought up from Single or Double AA to Major league ball in many of the radio stations, especially on weekends. But No!....I wouldn't judge a person by their age if they know or their into the music and sound mature over the air for the format.

I'm impressed with your knowledege of the history of music, but without sounding dismissive, that was then and this is now.

Top 40 is filled with the Hannah Montana's and The Jonas Brothers of the world and other teen driven artists and music, it's younger...a lot younger. And with the spending habbit's of America's youth I wouldn't be suprised if in the next 5 to 10 years we se advertisers go after that 12+ demo a lot stonger.

I understand this is now.....my point for that other postee was don't forget THEN. You wouldn't have had a job...even reading liners...if it wasn't for THEN. There would be no Jonahs or Hannah's. It's that this so called cocky 20's jock who probably reads liners and works off of a computer thinks he won't get old and outdated. I hate to say, he's going to be one very dissapointed flash card reader when he gets older.

Your absolutely right on this one....but the question is will the 12 + be willing to spend on radio. Especially by the time they become a crucial audience. So far it doesn't look it.

You're in the Top 10 huh? Why did I hear the entire city of Sacramento in unison yell "Bull $#!+" when I read that?
Click to expand...

yeah, I am. Sorry that is such bad news for you. What's your show rated?
 
NO really Stage5Clinger IS in the top 10 in Sacramento. I can prove it.
But who looks at Sunday overnights for ratings anyway?

cc will "kiss" that format goodbye just before summer, if you get my drift.

Are you saying that they would flip the station again??? Why would they even take the 6 months of doing the "MY" thing if they're just going to blow it up?!?!

I'm not sure if I'm picking up what your laying down, but if you mean "Kiss" as in CHR, there's no room for it... not with The END, KSFM, and The Bomb.

What Sac is missing is a really good AC station, KMYX is okay...but it really doesn't sound FRESH or FUN. Yeah 92.5 just flipped from AC, but in it's hey-day it was #1
 
"KISS" format would cost something that Clear Channel is trying very hard not to speak of and that is CASH. Trust me "My" is here to stay and its slowly making it's way to other markets that have a so so station that has high costing talent. "KISS" would cost way over a million in promotion, marketing and air talent just to sign on.
So get used to the 2008 version of Max Headroom introducing songs that you can hear on 3-4 other stations in the market.
 
you're assuming that cc would launch a radio station the right way.

the likely scenario is that they'll flip to kiss, voicetrack everything but mornings and nights, put a couple of kiss logos on cc owned billboards and barter for a couple of tv ads.

the my format is cc's way of showing that they're buttoning everything up in preparation for going private. the reality of CC sacramento is that there's nobody in the FM studios for the majority of the day, and the only people in studios are in KFBK, and a boardop in KSTE.
 
This has been a great thread and I wish the false KISS rumor hadn't changed the direction. Can we get back to song tags; boring liner driven radio; 60 year old jocks, etc?
