Quincy Radio?

L

Lucylu

Anybody know anything about these guys that advertise on craigslist for DJ's for a radio station in Quincy?

No guesses please (although smart-ass answers are always welcome ;) )

Anybody have any experience with them? What is this all about? I didn't even know their was a radio station in Quincy. ???
 
Lucy, let me esplain. It is not a radio station, at least around here. Let me guess, did they offer up to[b
two hundred dollars a week? It involves an internet radio station network and what you do is buy some radio time on their station that is heard some where and you go out and sell the advertising for it, (locally is what they told me-hence the up to two hundred dollars a week.) Stay away from it!

Probably a pirate, as WJDA and WESX are now based in Chelsea. Though are the Salem stations based at Marina Bay in Quincy?

It's not a pirate, and it's not the Salem stations. It's not a station that's actually on the airwaves at all. Read the post above this one, that's what I've heard about it. It's pretty much a scam that takes advantage of the DJ's who apply for it.
 
Thanks for the info. Sad to hear.

And to Travis, slightly off topic but, I found the cure for ADD; all you need is to.... Hey look, I pony. Let's follow it... ::)

and i quote a past boston raido jock "radio is a job where i can turn add into my career" amen
 
>slightly off topic but the world needs more stations like the old JDA<

I'll second that! Hat's off to ALL remaining AM music stations - WJIB, WFEA, WNBP, WEIM, WMRC, WARE. (There's one in New Bedford whose calls escape me; I don't get down that way often enough.)

.... they just do radio better than the talkers, and better than the commercial FM's.
 
Maybe AM talk was better in the good old days; am reading Moe Lauzier's book right now (Talk Radio; available as a download) and he talks about his career ranging from WALE in the 50s to WSAR, WHJJ, and WRKO in the
past quarter century. When done well, talk (or music) radio on the AM dial can be great (and keep it
local!). He gets into the Big Dig, Cianci, 9/11, Presidential politics, interviewing the likes of Bob Hope and Adm. Stockdale, Jerry W. and the seat belt/New Braintree battles...

Christa McAullife outlined the "lessons in space" she'd be giving in a talk with Moe some 11 days
before the shuttle explosion...

How times have changed: a quarter century ago he felt that he might not be employable in Boston talk
radio because he was a _conservative_! Though he also talks about connecting with the conservatives in the listening audience, be it over military, fiscal, or social matters..

He also reproduces an old flyer for WRKO circa 1988 that shows cartoons of the hosts and descriptions.
Remember...?
5:30-10 Ted and Janet
10-2 Gene Burns (Sunday: Dining Around With...)
2-6 Jerry Williams
6-7 Sportscall with John Carlson
7-10 Sally Jesse Raphael, also:
Red Sox baseball with Ken Coleman and Joe Castiglione

11 pm Larry King
(weekends feature: Dick Syatt, Moe Lauzier)
"Learn Something New". There are cartoons of a helicopter, Red Sox
logo, telephone, clock radio set to 680, a chef (for Gene's
dining show) and a heart with an arrow through it

Since you listed AMs, oldest in New Bedford is WNBH (once meant "New Bedford Hotel", where the studio was). Other is WBSM which came along decades later.

Wow, a new twist on the old Pyramid scham?
Go figure...

I hate those things but I hate the dummies who fall for it more, and I can't believe how many do!

I don't think that being naive or gullible is a reason to hate someone. I feel sorry for the people who don't know better than to fall for those things and get taken advantage of.
