Rating's

Can a normal schlep find radio rating's for different time periods
I'm curious about Mikey Boy's since he's"National" and how 1530's rating have been compared to when the angry guy's and Bruno where on
 
Dayparts and demos are pretty much protected unless you're an Arbitron subscriber. Why don't you contact stations in the market that interests you.

And while you're at it, plurals, meaning more than one of something, NEVER use an apostrophy.
 
Anyone know where a repository of old 12+ ratings can be found? We hear stories of how WSAI had 50-60 shares in the 60's. It'd be pretty cool to look through that stuff...

There's a thread here devoted to how Mike is doing after 'going national'.

In my opinion, he is only being kept afloat by WLW being broadcast on XM. There have only been a handful of stations which seem to have picked up his daily program.

His show was much more entertaining when it was local. At least when he was local he had a variety of callers. What I don't understand is how Mike's producers think that screening through only people that agree with Mike offers interesting listening?!? When they do let a caller through that disagrees with him, its usually a known nutjob (a trick well known by Darryl Parks).

I've lately started listening to 1530 now instead of Mile or Laura Ingraham. Anything beats constant global warming bashing or liberal bashing...even sports.

Have you ever called Mike's show to know what the screener asks or doesn't ask to potential on air calls? I've called in the past different shows to WLW and basically here's what they ask, name, location, and topic your talking about. They don't ask much more than that, at least in my expreince. If you can tolerate listening to Mo & Doyle my hat is off to you, that is by far the worse radio in the history of Cincinnati radio. Also Mike doesn't bash global warming, he welcomes it!
 
I run the board for Mike and screen his calls every Saturday afternoon...Unless you are a complete 100% retard or are not on topic, you get put on hold for Mike to take. I know for a fact that Mike would much rather have someone who disagrees with him than someone who does.
What happens during the week, I have no idea. But I would be willing to bet it's run pretty much the same way as I do it.
 
Hey Grudge..that nutcase from San Francisco who slipped on every once in a while to promote his "John Lennon assasination" website still trying to get on?". For folks who don't believe MM talks to people who disagree, he shared the mic for about half of one Saturday show talking politics with Jerry Springer...and apparently there was talk about them co-hosting a show.

Grudge,

I know you may or may not have been listening today, but when Mike did his Purina One spot, I didn't hear him mention Steve and refered to his dog using the word "her" and didn't push the mikeandstevethedog.com website. Did something happen to Steve, or did Mike just get a new dog. I'm an animal lover so hope there isn't any sad news. Purina one is great pet food by the way.

Sorry folks,
I was not in with Mike today. I was doing my normal duties in another studio. I would probably just assume they changed the copy for the spot. IDK. I would have to say, my favorite Weekends with McConnell moments include: The jackass who ended every call with some odd word, "buttplug" or "tallywacker." Also, the caller who was so mad during discussion of the JFK assassination he screamed, "F**K YOU!" or last weekends discussion that we, as humans, use too much sunlight...so say the Aussie's!
Its really strange, I've been with WLW for a little under 4 months now (been in the CC Death Star before that but on the FM side for near 4-5 years) and I heard all the talk about how bad the station was, how bad Darryl is, how bad and one sided the hosts are, etc...and I have to tell you, I really haven't had an overall negative experience. Sure, there's the occasional disagreement or whatever during the morning show, but it's never near serious. Just normal content/formatic disagreements that happen on any show. And it always ends with a shaken hand at the end of the day or a joke before we leave. I worked on a morning show here in Cincy a few years ago that was just awful. Not so much content or talent wise (though the ratings never ever went above pitiful), but just hateful people. That wouldn't have been so bad except that it rubbed off on me for a few years. Luckily, I think I'm not so hateful anymore. Maybe it's just feeling that I've, more or less, finally "made it" and all my hard work and sacrifice has paid off. Everyone at WLW and most of the building (yes, even the supposedly evil Darryl Parks) has been, overall, nothing but nice and/or professional.


Except for Gary Burbank...that man is pure evil, hate, bile and piss.

We might not hear Mike M referring to Steve by name anytime soon. Seems Steve got stung. Was using the Purina email address to look for a little puppy love. That perky 14-week Pomeranian turned out to be a Xenia Police K-9.

Next public appearance October on Animal Planet's Animal Cops: Pisgah. They went along for the ride when it came down. Caught Steve red-pawed.

Made bond easy because there's no room at the inn; they haven't finished building the new county pound yet. Now Steve's laying low and looking for lawyers.
