Only a matter of time.....

[Dan_Evans]

Given that a lot of markets in the top 100 in the country have added stations to the First name format(Jack, Alice, Bob, Mike etc), it won't be too much longer before we here in Richmond get one of our own. At first, my logic was saying WCUL would grab the bull by the horns and take it....but there has been a nice wrinkle to that one folks. Mainquad might be looking at a sell of that station, so I have another thought on it. WDYL goes from Y101, to Jack101, playing whatever we want. That or get rid of 96.5 the planet and turn them into a Jack like station, which has happened in LA, as KCBS has gone from classic rock to "Jack". Now, I am not counting out WCUL, but they need to either sell the station soon with FCC approval over at mainquad, or get the ball rolling before someone else gets the format with another company.

107-3 RICK FM?

Seriously, put oldies on 100.3, which would give 100.3 a 1 share (decent for a rimshot), then turn 107.3 into adult hits...which would leave 98.9

Let me be the first to suggest the OBVIOUS first name that a Richmond podcast formated FM should call itself if it wants INSTANT 18-54 age group recognition...and that first name is....LEE!

Steve, we could call it the return of old friends as the teaser for the station. It would play EVERYTHING from sgt pepper to today and everything in between. On that idea, given that they are playing some of the black crows now, along with some of the 80's hair bands, I think it's time that WKLR and cox radio starts looking at it soon. Get rid of the VTing and John Boy and Billy. Here would be my weekday lineup for WLEE 96.5, the best of EVERYTHING...

5:30a-10a: Tara, Jeff and Jeff(Beck leaves the wolf as does Tara Hunter and McKee comes back to radio....great show that overtakes the area in a year, only Bill Bevins would be in the way of Number 1.)

10a-3p: Dick Hungate, somehow COX realizes how badly they screwed up and rehires Hungate.

3p-7p: Bopst, hands down would knock down the competition, and a good friend of mine on here finally gets his due!

7p-12m: Rik Maybee and Lucas Foxx, the return of the Underground, adding to it Rik's days of future past library, it makes for a GREAT 5 hours at night

12m-5:30a: Overnights with Kirby Carmichael, who else would you want doing commercial free music. A class act and the best at doing overnights...

Would the ratings spike, I would say YES because it would hit the stations in key demos. With a 2000 song playlist(approx), you would NOT get a repeat, even on the weekends. If the station wanted to play LEE from A to Z, it would be 2 weeks at least to get through the thing!

Ah ha Avalone yes thats true the CALL LETTERS Wlee may be being used by someone else. BUT....All the 'Bob' type stations I've heard have calls totally different than their "Bob" image. Remember, I just said "LEE". Its just a guys name. Open for anybody to use I figure. If programmed and promoted right, with NO mentions of any tie to Wlee past or present, it should be an open name to use. I think it can be defended by pointing to all the other one name stations across the country that 'LEE' is just as available as anyone elses first name. <P ID="signature">______________

Re: Only...LEE??? but with a list of airstaff to die for!!

Dan, as I posted to Avalone, not Wlee, just 'LEE'. The legal call letters could be anything. 'LEE' would just be the image. Its done all over the country this way. Bob, Sam, Steve, Fred and more are being used by stations now playing a podcast type format. Seems to me the name 'LEE' is just a name and is open game. If smartly promoted with no mentions of Wlee past or present, it could be an untouchable winner.

[stevehendrix]

Re: Only...LEE???

Yes, the former Duck became WLEE FM 96.5 for a brief time in the mid 90's. Shane did mornings. I was a part timer on weekends.

ONE more point for everyone about using "LEE" a name. It could be "LEIGH" or "LEAH" or anything that sounds like the name LEE.

Theres a hundred ways to get away with it. I'm surprised no one has done it yet in Richmond.

LEE-FM is friggin' brilliant!

OK...now we all need to go up to MQ and buy 'em out...I have $100 and a '94 GMC Sonoma I can sell

Seriously, LEE-FM would drive 103.7, 101.1, and 96.5 to their graves (One station could ruin Cox's cluster!)

As for airstaff...We forgot Rebecca Wilde...I do think I remember her from the Buzz anb B-103...and she was "On the beach" last week, according to All Access...

Ah, yes...since we're all buying out MQ, let's envision how the cluster would be restructured:

93.1 Stay as the Wolf...and change the calls
98.9 WILL BE LEE-FM (one day...we will soon see
100.3/100.5: Yes, we buy WZEZ and put an oldies/standards hybrid on
107.3: Wildcard...I say put Active Rock...but...I'll leave it up to the board for that...

Now we need to think of MD/PD roles in the cluster...I volunteer Bopst for LEE's MD position...

Later,

Radio-X

Mmm... maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to try to get WYFJ 100.1 also. Might be good to simulcast the Wolf on. How about WWLF Ashland and WLFP Ettrick/Petersburg?

I don't know how well Active Rock on 107.3 would work... we see how rock as a whole (WKLR, WDYL, WRXL) is doing, so I don't know that there's room for another one (unless you're simply trying to kill off WDYL). Not that I have any suggestions for it, but still.

Re: LEE-FM is friggin' brilliant!

RDXR, I'm not so sure Bopst should be the Music Director...his previous posts on our subject displays he has a misunderstanding of commercial radio and doesn't care very much for it. Thats OK. He's entitled to misunderstand it.

And THANK YOU for the "friggin' brillant" subject line. I did come up with it, thanks to the LEE Yahoo group of old DJ's like myself who get together on the web.

"Friggin' Brilliant"..... Damn..... I LOVE that!!!

Chris, this is not a corporate idea of varity...its the final catching up of radio with the rest of us who abandoned it. I haven't heard Eagles and Vanilla Ice back to back on any type radio format, so thats a dumb comparison. Maybe you should do a Google on podcasts and catch up with the rest of us living in the real world.

PLEASE post for all us an example of your daily playlist so we can understand what a really good music mix should be.

I look forward to your playlist ideas.

Actually, that would be good...though CSN will NEVER sell...how about buying 96.9 Bowling Green, which puts a decent signal into Northern Richmond

Well, I will admit that I'm biased...I am a hard-core active rock fan. Though I think if LEE-FM becomes a reality, with some obscure alt. rock, and TWO active rockers, WDYL would be making more money playing South American trans-gender pre-teen polka music

Realistically, I would put hot talk with good LOCAL talent on 107.3

Steve, with all due respect, Listen to the Bopst show, TRUST ME, it is a 3 hour music trip that is GREAT. He plays a lot more variety than the corporate big wigs. Heck, he plays music they have NOT played I am sure in years. When is the last time you heard a corporate station play "A Town Called Maliace" by The Jam. I am not talking XM or Sirus(both of which do play it), I am talking broadcast radio. Bopst played it about 3 weeks ago. If I had someone to even think about him to really link towards, it would be the late Eric E Stanley, god bless him. If Bopst did anything musically, he just doubled the music from 1500 songs to around 3,000 with his collections of oddities, classics and new music that NEVER will get airplay here!

Note to you Bopst, I would BAN Vanilla Ice and if he had a problem with that, well I would tell him to stick to the remaking show on VH1. I still think your musical genuis is undeserved by the corporate mainstream and sadly will NEVER get that credit, mainly due to the attitude that if you don't kiss a** to the big suits, you won't get anywhere up the ladder. That is how come CC had to get rid of Lucas a few years ago when the X signed on, he never was one to kiss a**. Neither are you Bopst, and I know my friend that will NEVER change.

 

[stevehendrix]

Re: Only...LEE??? but with a list of airstaff to die for!!

Dan, with all due respect, "A Town Called Maliace" by The Jam is a good cut. So are about 100,000 other cuts that don't get played with regularity. So Bopst can pick an obscure tune and play it. BFD!

I don't live in R-mond anymore so I can't hear the Bopst show. I would like to see him post his ideas here instead of his brief opinions since this is the VIRGINIA board and not the RICHMOND board. It seems everybody builds this guy up like he's Jesus. But his posts are, in his words, "painfully disappointing" for those of us who don't hear his show and therefore don't know WTF he's talking about.

I just would like the guy to explain himself instead of just jumping into any post he reads and typing this "I rest my case" BS.

LEE, LEAH, or LEIGH...whatever name you want to call it, would attract more name recognition and listenership on Richmond FM than the name BOPST.

I rest MY case.

Re: Only...LEE??? but with a list of airstaff to die for!!

Dan, after having supper, and coming back and reading your reply again, I have given more thought to your comment on your post to Bopst "I still think your musical genuis is undeserved by the corporate mainstream and sadly will NEVER get that credit, mainly due to the attitude that if you don't kiss a** to the big suits, you won't get anywhere up the ladder."

The truth is, if you DO kiss a** to the big corporate suits, you WON'T get anywhere up the ladder.

The successful concept is to REPLACE them, not kiss a** to them.

Bopst's "musical genius" ideas are already being played by hundreds of "Bob" type FM's everywhere. He just doesn't get how to market his show. I've send him idea's along this line including pitching college radio and PBS, but he rejects them. He just doesn't appear to want to try and be successful....thats too "corporate" for him from his postings viewpoints.

There is room in Richmond for that -- but I'd do it the way Orlando's Real Radio does. They are talk Mon 6a - Fri evening (not sure if they switch at 7p or midnite), and modern rock on the weekends. The existing talk stations have lousy signals, so an FM talker should do well... and since talk's biggest achilles heel is the weekends, you take that out of the mix by not airing weekend chatter. Now I'm not saying to do that at 107.3 FM necessarily...

Disclaimer: I do weekends at Oldies 107.3.
