...I would guess the non-compete is null and void, right? So CC could bring in a new rock format if they wanted to?

I know this may be controversial, but how about CC flipping WRNO from classic rock to new rock?

It makes sense to me for 3 good reasons:

1) There's a void for 18-34 men now, and Citadel obviously can't fill that with "Rockin' Country" crapola.

2) The current staff on the station is better associated with new rock. Rod and Spinnato were at 106.7, and Kat used to be on the old 94.9 Extreme Radio. Plus, they could probably get some of the 106.7 staff to add-on, if needed.

3) Don Gosselin (the OM) was a major force behind the early success of Rock 93.7 in Baton Rouge. After he left, Rock didn't rock so much, and we ended up with Red.

Of course, Jace said I was off base with my predictions, and I'll say that he was right. However, I think I still have more sense than Dave Seibert and Citadel corporate.<P ID="signature">______________

How is it controversial? Ratings on WRNO have been going down lately because of Bayou 105.3/95.7 and could possibly be justified.... Only things to wait on is to make sure this isn't a stunt before bringing back Alt. Rock somewheres (even if it was, could CC actually null and void the non-compete as they did flip format?!?!), get the music, and convince coporate....

Country is listened to by that group, but yeah there is a void that Bayou cutting off in 2003 ain't cutting it...

Like Sig and Vydra when they get tired of Garth Brooks:)

It rocked but went in a more active rock format after he left and it took off.... Actually I'd look for a active rock format more here than an alt rocker personally...

Wait and see if it's a stunt or true as Citadel has blew out formats in BR and NOLA and has dropped the ball...now it's to see if the hammer falls to like in BR...

92.3 would be my guess. I've only been down there once and noticed 103.3 out of Baton Rouge sort of overlapped.<P ID="signature">______________

Re: Well...

Ok, I gave it a listen for a while this evening. I must say I do miss my new rock, but this "format" is quite a twist. I'm actually liking it for now. Like someone said a few posts back, it may be good now, but it may get really old later. I heard "Neon Moon" by Brooks & Dunn, followed by "Piece Of Mind" by Boston... quite interesting.

It seems pretty good so far! Hopefully they'll broaden the playlist more over time and not all at once 'cause it'll overwhelm the listeners with songs they may not expect from the station. And just because it's been done or is doing well in other cities, doesn't mean it will do well here. I HATE when the corporations tout those crap statistics you NEVER, EVER see!<P ID="signature">______________

So it has flipped eh? (I'm not in the market anymore so I couldn't hear it...) Anyways, it's happened and now no longer a secret. For those who haven't heard, 106.7 New Orleans New Rock has flipped to Country!!!
Some guy started a grass roots effort to turn it back with some petition thing,
here's what he sent me:
_________________________________________________
Save 106.7

http://new.petitiononline.com/10671067/petition.html

Get everyone you know to sign.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So sign if you like, I don't know what good it will do, but I am just doing my part. For the ones who have lost a dear friend in 106.7 - I feel ya. If you believe that rock shouldn't die - sign it for S & G's. If you like country (why do I know you?) don't sign it tell me I suck with your little twang....
Either way, I was fired and was forced to leave the great city of New Orleans so I have no interest anymore, I only wish success and the best of luck to Sig, Vydra, and Tank - three people who I dearly respect and hope can find success with a new batch of listeners in a new format... Good Luck to ya's!!!!

Long Live the legacy that was 106.7 THE END!

...and BigTymer...you weren't too far off on the predict about citadel looking towards country, I gotta hand it to ya there! Good Luck in the future... I am off to land somewhere's else now.

TTFN New Orleans!
Jace.

Citadel won't flip WDVW anytime soon.
 
> Citadel won't flip WDVW anytime soon.

I don't think anyone is saying that they'll necessarily flip, just that they should move to another frequency where it doesn't overlap with Baton Rouge's Diva as much, and can focus on New Orleans metro without the wasted signal. It's just redundant, not to mention likely confusing for the average listener.

I made this map to illustrate my point:
diva-overlap.png

Can't see the image? <a target="_blank" href=http://www.chicksdigstelly.com/images/blog/diva-overlap.png>Click here</a>.

It's based on the signal contour maps (WDVW, WCDV) at radio-locator.com - which aren't perfect, but give a good idea about what a signal covers. I used the fringe limits as a guideline, but even when you compare distant and local contours, the overlap is ludicrous.

http://www.radioandrecords.com/Newsroom/2006_01_09/kkndnew.asp

Basically John McQueen now adds PD duties for KKND as well as Martini and Diva

Sig and Vydra is in charge of programming Red in BR (Sig as PD, Vydra as MD) and will remain in that duty after starting back mornings on 106.7

and Sig will be "creative director" of all 4 clustermates in NOLA (Diva,Martini,Rockin country, and 102.9)

Well, on the new "Rockin Country 106-7," I keep hearing "Take This Job And Shove It!" Unless they're giving away free money or bars of gold, that's what they should've done a long time ago.
