The ones who can catch the 105.3 signal have...actually that maybe some of the number downfall on 93.7 cause I heard from some people who told me they flipped from 93.7 and 98.1 to try 105.3 cause of the variety (from people on the river).

105.3 however isn't playing the newer stuff that some people love (Mid-2003 roughly and newer..anything that seems they haven't tested yet) and those people as well as those who liked the harder edged bands will flip flop I think between the stations... The Xs numbers will go up no matter what as they are the only new rock in town.... If anyone else would play the new rock, I think you'd see the numbers go back down to the core teens it had before as that seemed to be their fan base before 93.7 flipped (that and the fact they haven't adjusted imaging/music selection to welcome former 93.7 listeners).

I couldn't deny the numbers that's why I posted what I did but thanks for the heads up on your opinions of the stations... I personally are not a big fan of talk radio. Maybe hear some here or there....

And to answer Smashedcd about the sports talk... There are people who love to talk about sports...those are the people who are around the cooler talking about the newest trade or can't get enough with just sportscenter. That's why WFAN is low in 12+ but profitable as can be.... But fact is, 1300 needs to become an alternative to WJBO...maybe people like local talk more... Look at WWL... But fact is, only other talker WYNK-AM, is a daytimer with no promotion and will be in perinnial also ran status cause of it.. Figure CC could sell the sports on 1210 better than 1380....

1380's biggest problem is that it's a daytimer. Thanks to various sign off times depending on the time of the year, you really can't program anything past 5 pm.

And no offense Smashed, to the best of my knowledge, 1300 has yet to do better than when they were the Sports Animal. If they're growing, they're growing from a low number. Buggs is that station, but he can't (and shouldn't) have to carry the whole shebang by himself.

Buggs is the best local talk show host in town. Both of the Buggs boys are good. On our big sister station WJBO, Clarences numbers are awesome. In regards to WIBR, some people like that local talk thing but some don't. Another thing that hurts them is the fact that Condon's show seems to have a different format everday. He is on against us at 1210 for the first hour of his program. He's mostly sports but I think he loses a lot of the talk people when he comes on. If the numbers were up on Diva 92.3 that will level off. People like to hear things when they are new. It will balance out. That Diva station at 103.3 will go nowhere also. Not to mention the 93.7 no format station will eventually have to change. That station does not pick one audience to appeal to.
