quick question

[osr]

does anyone know the number for the local FCC office here in Houston? I'd like to put a call in regarding the illegal broadcast on 94.9 that is stopping me from DX'ing KVIC in Victoria, and KNDE in Bryan. Thanks in advance.

 

[DJboutit2]

KNDE is 95.1 a tuner with good selectivity & antenna should have no problem DXin it. KVIC only runs 13kw gonna be kinda hard to DX it only way is if the conditions are right. Never heard of a pirate busted because someone can not dx stations 100 to 120 miles away I do not think busting this station will be the first time not gonna happen. I think they know that the station is runnin just wating for the right time to busted maybe in the next 6 months maybe not.<P ID="signature">______________

I understand that both stations are on the 95.1 frequency, however, I am in such close proximity of the 94.9 signal that it actually slops over to 95.1. I am surprised that the FCC has not sent a letter to them to stop broadcasting if they are aware of it like you stated.

As far as picking up KVIC I have picked it up frequently over the last several years. I guess it depends on the tropo. I also used to be able to recieve KZZB in Beaumont, and since the flip, KYKR in Beaumont on the 95.1 frequency.

You honestly have nothing better to do with your time but to ask for and call the local FCC because you can't DX because some station is running a semi-illegal frequency? Are you trying to make a difference in the community this way? If so, go donate toys or give blood or help the homeless. Are you kidding me? Jesus H Christ, get a life. Go play tennis or take a walk or download porn or something. My god!

I honestly think that a station that is on the air, should be licensed and pay for the ability to send a signal across the airwaves just like everyone else. As for the rest of your editorial, it is assinine and completely out of place. I simply asked a question. I did not ask for you to be a jackass, but I should expect it. You are a mediocre jock at a mediocre station, earning a mediocre paycheck, and probably go home to perform a mediocre job of stroking your pud. Maybe you should work behind the scenes at KIOL, because you have absolutely no business behind the mic, trying to work an airshift...and before you go and say, oh he's working for the competition, he has an agenda, or whatever, know that I am simply a listener, a native of Houston, with absolutely no ties to any radio broadcaster. Maybe you should think about the way you interact with your listeners down the road, perhaps this is the reason the station you work on can't get it's ass out of the 1's in ratings. I'll remember to flip my radio over to David Sadof next Sunday night, instead of listening to your show. So, I guess that leaves you with a listener base of about 3 people now. Congratulations Fletch. What's remarkable to me, is that a really superb personality like Joanie Maverick remains unemployed, while a yahoo with no talent like this guy still gets a paycheck for his mediocre work. Only in America.

You had me until you mentioned Joanie.... then the argument went right out the window.

Yeah, Fo-Fo, I know you don't care much for her, but to me as a listener, she had a great voice for radio, and always, in my opinion, was very captivating in her approach and had a vast knowledge of the music that she played. I know nothing about her interactions with you on a personal level, or how she performed off the air in the Clear Channel offices, but I do know that as a listener, I enjoyed her show and hated to see it go.

Hold up. I didn't ask to be dragged into this argument, and I'm not comfortable with it. I do know that I never had conflicts with co-workers in the hallways. I know that a sales associate had me, a part-timer, spending my time and gas driving to a client to pick up a weekly account check. I know that I repeatedly informed my direct supervisor (APD) of this, because there was zero avenue to discuss it with the program director, and that nobody ever intervened to correct the situation. I know that I spent five years giving my station my nights, weekends, and any fill-in shift where I was needed, and was repeatedly told that my contributions were not important.

I also know that, after promising me on a number of occasions that he had a fulltime position waiting around the corner for me, Vince had an opportunity to replace me with a long-time Houston name for a dollar less per hour than I was earning at The Arrow. I know that I've got a folder filled with documented proof that I worked in excess of 29.5 hours/week on many, many occasions (more often than not), and was never paid for that time because the company policy forbid putting more than 29.5 on the timesheet (for that matter, I was never paid for my last week on the air). And, having consulted with a talented attorney, I know that Fifi has provided ample ammunition for a major lawsuit based upon his disparaging and false comments about me on this board in the past (the Internet isn't as anonymous as some might like to think).

While I appreciate the nice things you said about me, OSR, I don't care to have my name smeared all over the Radio-info board. Conflicts such as this one are distasteful to me and absolutely not in my nature, so I'd like to ask that you both please refrain from dragging me into the muck. I'm very proud of the work that I did on The Arrow and will happily hold that up to anyone who asks. I'm grateful to the people who continue to approach me and tell me that, like you, OSR, they enjoyed my airtime and enjoyed meeting me at concerts, shows, and station events. I've met a lot of really great people in this town, and I think I can safely say that those people have more to offer about my character than a man who throws darts from behind a closed door.

Thank you,
Joanie Maverick

P.S. Fletch, thanks for the Pryor. I loved it.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by radiomojo1 on 12/12/05 04:10 PM.</FONT></P>

 

[osr]

Joanie I give you my sincerest apology. I, in no way, intended to make you uncomfortable. I was complimenting your abilities, and questioning why you remain unemployed while others with less talent and less appeal,in my own opinion, continue to have work. I did not intend to smear your name in anyway. Please accept my apology and I will not mention you again, unless it is you and I having the conversation.

The FCC office in Houston has been closed for several years now., the nearest FCC office is in Dallas.

Oh, hell! We all know, by now, that talent has little to do with anything in the radio business, these days. It's all about how cheap someone is willing to work. Sadly, that's the way the math works out. Radio doesn't want talent. Talent has a tendency to talk back to management. Management wants people who'll work cheap and do what they're told. Never mind that radio is losing market share across the board. Thanks to nifty gadgets like the iPod, mp3 players, CD players and what-have-you, radio really isn't necessary, anymore.

To be sure, I certainly feel sorry for those folks in the radio business who are charged with the duty of sticking to the budgets they're given. Believe it or not, there are GM's out there who aren't getting anywhere near the kind of money they should be. And for what? They're getting pulled both ends against the middle.

It's the ownership....the "big guys"...who are screwing up. There's not a "radio person" in the bunch. They're all financial people, or geeks with MBA's who don't have a clue toward what makes good radio. Worse yet, they don't care. Just "fix the books" and make things look good on paper.

If you want good radio, again, here's what you do: Petition the FCC, on a major scale, to 'pull the plug' on about half of the nation's radio stations in the top 50 markets. That way, the "slices of the pie" will be big enough to make radio ownership worthwhile.

Now, let's address something that gets very little, if any, mention in these boards. Talent vs. ego. Management needs to understand that talent is just that.....TALENT. Talented people are a 'half a bubble off' from the rest of the world. It doesn't mean they're bad people....they're just different. Robert Oppenheimer was different. Dr. DeBakey is different. Just understand that. Talented people can and will be a handful, at times. So what?

Talent....quit 'shootin' yourselves in the foot'. You are legends...only in your own minds! Get a grip! Quit acting like a bunch of spoiled brats. When listeners take the time to call you, show your gratitude, damnit! Come back down to Mother Earth. Management sees you as a bunch of jerks....certainly not all of you....but, a good many. You're spoiling it for everyone. Then again, you're not concerned with 'everyone', are you? You're only concerned about yourselves. Well, as you go about your lives, bitchin' about how radio has tanked, remember that you're a part of that equation. It galls me to know how many truly talented, and very nice people in radio have been "drummed out" over managerial egos. I could list a boatload of names, but, if you're reading this website, you already know who they are!

By the way....I spent the majority of my radio career in the "talent" end. A lot of what I'm carping about was from experience.....at close range.

Save the whales.

Guido, you're a riot! Enjoyed our conversation this afternoon, and I'm enjoying the hell out of American Road. Let's get together soon for that lunch we keep promising ourselves!

OSR, no worries, man. I know you meant well, and I appreciate it.

Save the star-bellied sneeches!

That is the most entertaining thing you have ever said. Pure genius. First, I didn't say anything in the past that wasn't true. Secondly, if you did have a lawsuit, it would have already been filed. What real attorney wouldn't want to go after a sure thing? While I am sure you have a folder filled with something, it isn't the facts. By the way, the internet IS as anonymous as a person likes it to be. If you aren't that smart, it isn't, but if you know your way around, it's not trackable without some help from the Fed's in Virginia. I may have been born at night Joanie dear, but it wasn't last night. Enjoy your fantasy world.

*yawn* I thought I heard a flapping chinstrap! I've neither the need nor desire to participate in your particular brand of online brawling---considering your track record on this board, your slanderous remarks are a bit difficult to take seriously. Your posts speak far more about the quality of your own character than they do of mine. Sorry I can't get more worked up over your apparent need for conflict.

OSR, in answer to your original question, anyone can utilize the FCC's website with their Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau for indecency complaints, signal interference, and other radio-related matters and complaints. It's good to have handy.

Haha, my pleasure Joanie. Glad I could actually get away with it. As for OSR, curious as to what your profession is? Are you on the radio, in the business? If not I really don't care what you think about me, the company I work for or the signal we have. Yes it needs work. Are we disappointed with it? Sure, who wouldn't be. But in today's radio world, we are just glad to be employed doing what we love to do. You call my talent mediocre? Hey,your opinion and that's cool. I'm not going to bash someone who has an opinion of me. We can't appease everyone. I just enjoy watching people like you, get on this board and criticize everything. Do some good with your time.

It was a pleasure getting insulted by you. Happy Holidays and a plentiful 2006 to you!

If I might take the liberty to add...although I disagree with his rather harsh assessment of your talent, OSR's one of the many dedicated rockers who took up the Rockaid cause when CC dumped KLOL's format and long-time jocks. He's one of the good guys, a real-life, passionate listener. We haven't met, but I've been aware of his efforts since the switch. Wish there were a lot more like him: people who care enough to take the time and make the effort to make their voices heard. Instead, the majority of disenfranchised listeners quietly disappear in disgust and move on to other technologies and music sources without bothering to tell us why.

I am very touched by your kind words. It has been an exciting and enjoyable part of my life to get the opportunity to work with RockAid, and to be one of the people that led the charge as listeners to ensure another company besides Clear Channel stepped up to the plate and replaced our once beloved KLOL. My assessment of Fletch yesterday was done in anger. I was shocked by the way he replied to my simple question. It made me take a step back. I have had the honor of speaking one on one with Outlaw Dave, and Wendy Miller on a couple of occasions. They were both high class people, who showed me a lot of respect and kindness, and always have an open ear for my voice to be heard, knowing that I am not in the radio business, and simply a passionate rock music lover. It makes me more passionate about the success of KIOL and KFNC because of the great people that they have employed there. Then along comes Fletch....there was no call for him to tell me to "get a life". Fletch obviously knows nothing about my life, what I do, or what my passions and dedications are. I only think it's fair that a station that is not licensed by the commission not be allowed to broadcast. It's not right to the people and companies that go about broadcasting the legal way. It would seem to me that a person like Fletch, who is in the business, would appreciate that and be willing to help, not be an insulting jerk. I take back what I said about KIOL being mediocre. Of course, as everyone knows it needs some fine tuning and the signal is sub-par but that is something that we true rockers will overlook, because it is still better than the alternative. I hold no animosity towards you, Fletch. I think you need to take a class on relating to your fellow human beings, but that's something you'd have to do on your own time. I don't know you, nor have I spoken to you before, so I had no chance to gain respect for you. Now that I know what type of person you seem to be, you have no chance in earning respect from me. I hope, in the future, you choose your words more carefully. You never know who is on the other end.
