Overheard in a toilet in Dothan

H

Hot Pockets

Guest
The new afternoon guy at DJR....impressive...most impressive.
Move this guy to mornings and save the ship.

But nooooooo, word is "the beat" to flip to "classic country".

Yea right. Now they are going to try and use TWO stations to defeat ONE.
How embarrassing. Why don't somebody at the RP wake up and fix the problem.

The problem is constant or is it the Constant is the problem?
No rocket science required.
 
Surely that can't be true. The Beat is the one intelligent sounding hip-hop station in Dothan. I know many people that listen to it. It's actaully much better than Hot in Montgomery in my honest opinion.

Intelligent as in.....Einstein waving his nine while smokin' some pine.....

Many may listen, but they aren't buying commercials. The format can be hard to sell.
 
About as intelligent as hearing some drunken country bastard talking about the one that got away... or the one he beat the hell out of... or the sister he chased around the trailor park. Get a grip ------. Country is as stupid as hip-hop. They don't have a nine. They have a rope or a cow or a sister... or a trailor.

Don't down music you don't understand. idiot.

If I didin't know better, I'd think your first name started with a letter between H and L

Whoa....I never said Country was intelligent. And as far as understanding the music, you may be 50% right. As I have only been involved with two hip-hop stations and one fell flat on its ass. I will stick to my statement that it is a hard sell in the Dothan market.

I don't have a horse in this race, but do think that flipping the beat to country would be a mistake.
 
daradioman has obviously not listened to country music since the 70's. But to each his own. I don't particularly like hip-hop myself and feel that a lot of it is worse than country with it's violence and very seggestive lyrics. For the most part though that applies to the hard core stuff. Anyway, some of you may remember back around '96 when 103.9 went classic country (when WTVY owned them) it hurt TVY in the ratings, so the format changed and changed and changed.....now "My 1039". But in 2001 when they went to the "Real Country" format, they really put a hurtin' on WTVY. It's interesting that they never really put a dent in DJR's #'s. So switchig The Beat to Classic Country might not be a bad idea, until it backfires. I personally think it would be too much country in the Dothan market, but with that many country shares to go around you just never know.

Backfire being the key word. Think about it a moment. "Real Country" put a hurtin' on an already bruised, bleeding, dazed, and confused TVY. No dent to DJR because they were still riding their wave and a much much better station than TVY.
Spring forward to today. Granted DJR isn't suffering as much as TVY was in 2001, but they are suffering IMHO. Therefore, I think history indicates a C3 classic country would play havoc with the weaker of the two. Just a theory. Are the RP willing to roll those dice???
Trying to double team the Bull in Birmingham sure didn't pan out for Cox.
Besides, DJR isn't broken, just has a big fissure.

Brett laments while pounding his chest...besides I am woman...or maybe woman want to be.
 
that is a reference to the slogan of this new guy.

he is the man behind his voice. Quite an accomplishment. It would be an even better trick to be the man behind someone else voice. Now I'd buy a ticket to see that.

Sorry about the chest pounding comment. Silly me. Thought it was a comment on anonymity.
Have not heard the slogan. Maybe because I only sampled him twice. Of those two times, I thought
he sounded pretty good. Although nearly a touch too much of bravado (artists he knows,blah blah, etc.)
I found myself listening to the whole breaks.
