New APD at The Fan

cowboyup said:
Fraizer Maxwell hired at The Fan as new APD

Norm's old producer right? And when i say old, we're talking the 90's right?

Anybody have any idea what he's been doing for the last 10 years?

Or could it be that Spittle's brainstorm was to get a guy that hadn't produced local sport talk for the last decade, and bring him in to turn the Fan around.

The other problem, is Norm is the epitome of old school sports talk. Stats, lots of guests, calls, etc.

If that's what Maxwell's background is, how's he going to turn around a station that has a non-sports morning show and a PM drive show that delights in showing off their pop-culture hipness (because they're so much cooler than any of us) and spending every other segment (seems like) on non-sports topics.

Last time I looked the Fan was 25th in teh men 25-54 demographic...Repeat, 25th in THEIR TARGET MARKET. Hiring Norm's producer from a decade ago? They're desperately flailing, aren't they?
 
Yes Maxwell was Norm's producer he was also Newy's producer when ESPN launched. I do not think (but don't quote me) he has been in radio in the last 3-5 years. Spittle isn't going anywhere. They were using the APD from KRLD to do the odds and ends type things, now he will go back to his duties at the AM while Maxwell takes over that stuff at the FM.

By the way Bigby will soon be adding two new sports stations to his work load. The one in DC that is about to flip and I haven't been able to track down the other one.
 
The Fan died the day it flipped from KLLI. You can only gratis so much of your spot load to keep clients on board. Money...if ya not bringing it in...something new will be piped over the air.
 
If I remember correctly I have already called KRLD -FM for my dead pool list. You guys cant have it! ;D
Now if I could just find that post. ::)

Anybody want to start a death pool on The Fan? Month, day, hour, year it changes format?

I give it until after FB season.
 
Watch closely! Russ might be coming BACK! And returning right back into his same time slot, paired with the only decent sports guy they have there. You heard it here first...
