Not Clear On The Concept, Dept.

J

jimwalsh2001

I heard one of those RAB "ads" over the weekend, the one where a bunch of people "on the street" slam XM/Sirius and tout terrestrial radio as the place to go for "live and local" programming in emergencies.

Following the ad, the station immediately went back to a syndicated talk show.

I should also mention that this was a news/talk station serving one of the towns hardest hit by the Iowa flooding.

Draw your own conclusions...
 
Boy, does that take the cake. The kettle calling the pot black.

Here is an industry that outsources most of its programs, in a race to the bottom, by dissing its workers and viewing anyone behind the mike as a drag on their returns...

The smug NT leader here (a Crap Ch. property) runs a stale Hannity in the evening instead of offering a real NT program. The station has the gall to call itself NT when it takes zero listener calls.

Here you have XM and Sirius running circles around terrestrial music stations.

And the masters who run broadcasting can't put together live, local and compelling talk radio? They'd rather sound like an automated station?

I guess the NAB feels really threatened.
 
As is usually the case in this pathetic business, those who need to get it, don't. Many radio stocks have taken a nose-dive this year, and for good reason.

Interestingly enough, Wall Street pressure on these young radio conglomerates has contributed greatly to people on Wall Street taking a bath on many of these stocks!

As Charlie Sheen said right before he was arrested in the movie "Wall Street":

"There's justice in the world!"

The industry has been systematically raped and pillaged by the street, and when they are done, it will be a shell of it's former self, irreparably damaged.

And there really was little, if anything any of us could've done about it.
 
In fairness, must say there are still stations out there that are doing it right; when Katrina hit New Orleans, WWL rose to the occasion...
