Rewind 94.9 Hiring an Air Staff

Ad in All Access this week. Wonder what they are looking for and paying? Who's the PD?

I wonder *IF* they are paying.

Heard a jock last night featuring Michael Jackson music. And they still are featuring his music today!

And a big congrats to the PD at Rewind. They really connected with people last night jumping on the story and owning it in music and tributes from the listeners. That the effort was made was laudable and smart programming.

That's 180 degrees from the stations in Dayton who should have been on it from the start. (Hey, you A/C guys...one of you were live and nobody there ever looked at a newswire...nobody had a cell phone number to notify the jock?????? You really missed the ball on that one!) Hard to believe the station in Dayton that was on the story from the beginning was Newstalk WHIO-AM/FM. (And yes, we caught crap today from some of the older listeners about it. Sorry gramps and you political junkies...Michael Jackson's death was as big to the "Gen X" generation as Elvis Presley's death was to the baby boomers...a sobering realization that none of us is forever. Gen X now realizes it, too is mortal. That's why it was such a big story...and that's why the coverage from a news station.

Heck...it had to be a big story. What else could have made M-TV go back to actually playing music videos?
 
For a station that's only been in the format a few weeks, Rewind did well. I didn't hear anything during the evening on Fly, Lite or Mix, as far as CC is concerned they've been so gutted in Dayton there wasn't much of anyone there to do anything. Still, Mix's position for so long was "80s", (now it;s 80s and 90s) I'd have expected them to be on it. Sunny 95 in Columbus pre-empted Delilah and broght a jock in.

To back what Kevin was saying: Mix was in a live remote from the Greene as the story was breaking - something could have been passed along to the jock by cell phone to at least get a mention in...and as the local Hot A/C station one would think that type of announcement would have been right up their alley...
 
WCSU's Turk Logan got a great set of tunes on in tribute. He may be in a university setting now, but he's still "Da' Man" (apologies to Langford 8)! Looked good on the T.V. interviews too! Good Job Doc!

Mix 107.7 really missed on this one... :'(. Sad because for so long they used the liner "The station that OWNS the 80s".
 
Not MJ related but it seems that Rewind's modulation is very low. If I flip from anywhere else to Rewind I have to turn up the volume.
 
949's processing sounds loud and compressed to my ears. In fact, The Bonneville cluster has very compressed audio just as it was when Entercom and CBS owned them. 94.9 sounded much better before they made the move to its current studio location.
