New PD for 92.5

R&R is reporting that Don Davis is the replacement PD for Duane Doherty at Lonestar 92.5... Davis most recently served as PD at Cox classic rock WFYV/Jacksonville... Goodbye Bo & Jim - Hello Bubba the Love Sponge. http://rock105i.com/
 
Another Pd, another syndication, another ratings dive another firing, and the beat goes on.
 
Congrats to Don and I wish him well. Don Davis did a great job for me as PD of WIOT Toledo when I was their ops mgr. Not just anyone can "get it" about Lone Star. My bet is that Don gets it.
 
In all do respect to the New PD "getting it". How many times have we heard that before and whatever they got,the listener never gets. When a PD can quit being a traffic cop for corporate, and doesnt allow AE's to program the station, and can actually program the station independently from a regional VP, then THEY MIGHT GET IT Until then,another 18 months, the same tail dragging ratings and another PD moves on.

UPPER MANAGEMENT KNOWS BEST ! ! !

I guess it was upper management that told them to go back to the same playlist they've used for the last 10 years?


Yep...It's actually more watered down and stale than it was before the "Lonestar" launch.

Honestly? What makes you think Don had any option to NOT put Bubba on in Jacksonville? If Lonestar were a Cox station your statement MIGHT make a little sense, but since it's not... just let the guy do his job.

Geeez... Of these Bands, these these are mostly the songs that I would not have on my I-Pod !!!! I maybe would want to hear any of these --ONCE-- a week, at the most.. :D
