No 'JBQ,'CYY or "BLM stages @ the OPF

[Andy Taylor]

They usually have some really good music stages at the Old Port Festival.'JBQ really used to attract a lot of people to their stage.There's no competition musically for 'JBQ so their ratings won't affected much by a big cut in the promotions budget.The phones used to be hot on the evening show.Do you think the kids are hanging around to listen to the Adam & Perez show?

Nope.

You know that guy who buys a perfectly nice new pickup truck and then beats the sh*t out of it mudding on back roads (opposed to buying a beater like everybody else)? That's Cumulus with these stations. They don't care, they don't wanna care, they just want to get everything they can get before they buy another. For them, these stations were chump change and another penny spent on them is another penny wasted.

Frankly, Saga is starting to look like the smartest guy in the room. They might slash staff now and again, but they also weathered the financial storm, are drawing a profit and have a good relationship with the community. Their strategy of buying mid-to-small-market stations works and is adaptable based on the market it serves.

That sounds like a business. Cumulus sounds like a garage sale.

Was listening to the Q last night and the Adam & Perez show didn't come on until 7:45pm.Also from 11pm on they were running jockless.Is Mike Addams gone?The future doesn't look(or sound) very good.

listen to cyy a lot. Rob was talking about being at some stage, and being there. Didn't hear any recorded promo's promoting it, however. Either way I miss the q late lunch, and with the top 8 gone, there are two major audience interactions gone from JBQ.

Cumulus, like the honey badger, don't give a $#it.
