Now some Star rumors!

[SquiggyFM]

I know a guy who knows a guy (you know how the biz works). Any who, this guy says , with 100% certainty that Nudge is so desperate to get off of Star that he's been sending out tapes to stations in Alabama and Chattanooga and pretty much every other opening.

Hmmmm...interesting....seeing as how Nudge has been off the past few days. I wonder where he's auditioning?

I'd have to say if I was in my mid twenties, and everyone I worked with are in their 40s...I'd want out too. Square peg in a star shaped hole...he didn't fit.

Now my heathens...SPECULATE!

Maybe they asked for a tape to get some night ratings.

Chattanooga? Alabama? Nudge could land himself in another large market with ease, that he might be shopping himself around might be true .... but not small market. Besides he's Jewish ... Jewish singles don't want to live in Chattanooga, if your Jewish & single you live in Atlanta or NYC, or Chicago, or LA if you can help it. I speak from experience. Nudge is as talented as Domanio was in the late 80s at Power 99, either Nudge goes to another top 10 market .... or Q100 under Cumulus picks up Nudge for nights.

C'mon Dylan!!! Seriously. You can do better than that. Bama? Chat? naaaaaaaa. Nudge is kicking ass in nights. He has had several consistent back to back good books and if I am not mistaking, he just re-upped his contract at Star. If he went anywhere it would be back to Philly... but I forsee LA or NY in his future.

Is being in his twenties when others are in their forties a reason for being unhappy? After all, he has the evening shift, which attracts a younger audience. Being there is his job and not his social life.

And do you EVEN think the money in Chatt or Birm comes ANYWHERE close to what he's getting at Star?? I bet he's doin' six figures from Star alone, not to mention all the outside stuff.
This guy is going forward....not backwards!

He's in his early 20s... doing nights at the #1 Top 40 in Market #10... (sorry Dylan) and you seriously think he's sending tapes to Bama or Chatanooga? Wow! The kid has mad skills. I'll bet he's doing mornings in a Top 50 market in the next few years. Bama... Chatt... Right! He's going there to make $30,000 - $35,000 a year? FmFreq, you are a FREAK! But you're good at stirring the pot. ;-)

You raise a few good points. But that's not how radio works my friend!

If you're a top 10 market night talent, its not unheard of if you make a move to a Birmingham or Chattanooga to get your first try at mornings. He wouldn't want to move on to Top 50 market mornings in a year, and probably no one would hire him, since he would have no morning exp.

You go to a Chattanooga, work on your AM skills, then move on to a Charlotte after a year.

So, lets review...there are a few ways to get promoted in radio:
1. Better market, same shift: Madison, WI to Nashville, TN
2. Same market, better shift: Overnights to Mid-days
3. Smaller market, better shift: Atlanta to Chat/Nights to Mornings
4. A title: APD/MD/PD

Secondly, being 23 years old and a Top 10 market / M-CHR night talent isn't unheard of, it's the rule. You need to be in tune with the 12-24s and 18-34s, regardless of the way the rest of your station's daypart lean. Once a night jock has hit 28, or 29...or heaven forbid 30; he's stuck in a rut with an ever dwindling chance to move on to another market's PM or AM Drive slot.

Nahhhhhhhhhhh. He's staying put.

I am humbled and honored that you think I could be Dylan.

The bird spoke again, and Nudge applied for a gig for Mornings in Charleston, SC. Ratboy and Staypuff (from WIOQ/Philly) got it. EDIT: BREAKING NEWS: THEY WERE TURNED DOWN AS WELL

Again, I know...major market talents would never want to go to Charleston, SC.

Guys, I'm telling you...he wants out. Don't you wanna know why? Rodney, help us out.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by FMFreq on 03/11/06 03:31 AM.</FONT></P>

Of course he wants out. He works at a so-called Top 40 station that holds him back because they need to play it safe - has NO night club gigs (that's A LOT of extra $$$ guys) and sits in meetings with people twice his age.

No shocker a night guy would want to do MORNINGS in a smaller market - if being a morning guy is his goal. Money ain't everything people - experience is THE KEY!

WHAT WHAT!

Look how well the switch from nights to mornings worked for Toucher. Not to say Nudge is still young and unattached now's the time to make that kinda of move.

I know a guy who knows another guy who knows this girls ex boyfriend from three years ago. And what he says about this post is unprintable. But it was something relative to the fecal matter of a bull.

Is he going to go?

Re: GEEZ people will say anything !!

There he is! Good luck finding a job. I know you'll get outta there and find a real CHR gig!

PS: We all know. Lets look at your evidence trail!

1. You've posted 105 times total, and only 10 since Q upped their signal.
2. About 99% of your posts are defending Star, lets look at a few.
a. The one I'm replying too. (3/11)
b. Defending Star against Kicks...while bringing Q into the mix (what?) (3/11)
c. Outting Rodney's "love" for Q (2/1)
d. Knowing before hand the lineup to Starfest (2/1)
e. Non Star post regarding X (1/25)
f. Defending Star against Star Jones (1/19)
g. Non Star post on WCNN (1/2)
h. Another post outting Rodney's Q love and defending Star (1/1)

That's going back to New Years. I could go back further, but seeing as how all your posts say the same thing, sorta pointless for me to bring it up.

And to show that I'm not hiding behind anything, here are my last 25 posts (proving I have no life)

Freq are you high ?? This is a weird post.

Re: GEEZ people will say anything !!

Long story short. If you post, its usually to defend Star.
