Scott Sands out at ZPL

Did anyone hear smiley about a week ago anounce the station as Z-100 Cough Cough Im sorry Z-99.5 Im really surprised he didnt get fired over that, they were probably talking about z-100 off air and when he cracked the mic he said Z-100,,, I laughed all the way to town. I wonder if Z-99.5 will now find its real direction and either go to a real hot ac or another real CHR,, I-94 sounds great, but the problem is you cant hear it,, the signal is too weak and too far north and gets beat up by WPFR,, someone needs to force WPFR to moce to 93.7 so I-94 can upgrade. Im confident that moving the signal closer, and more power, and getting rid of the CO channel interference the station can make it too Bloomington,, Radio Now makes it to Bloomington and they are a class A.
 
WPFR thinks for some reason they have every right not to have to move from 93.9 so another station can upgrade its signal. last i looked. TH 93.9 was a mom and Pop owned station. While CUmulus owns the indy based 93.9 station. Lets see who the FCC Would allow to upgrade with the money Cloudy has. Give it up WPFR Move. Its not like your moving from 93.9 to 107.5 like that. Heck if I was WPFR and got offered the 107.5 signal i would take it since thats a very powerful TH Freq. but its not like they are moving halfway across the dial. they are moving one little ol dial flip down a spot. WPFR Owners Cumulus could offer you the farm for that station.
 
So Sands is now "on the beach"? (just had to get that one in)

Maybe our Entercom insider Paperbill can shed some light on this decision.
 
Maybe they are rebranding the station to Z100?

Just like Q95 with 94.7, ZPL is rounding up to 100.

I can barely get 100.9's signal on the north side of town. Downtown Bloomington it's impossible to even make out Radio Now's signal. Besides who needs Radio Now in Bloomington when there's B97?

This may not be a done deal. Entercom posted the job today on the corporate website.

EOE... List the job, take apps, doesn't matter, already know who's filling the spot run of the mill general bullsh*t.
Unless the outside chance the GM lady PD said...Nope, not going.
 
The problem at Entercom....is this lady GM....if they do not realize this "I have only been successful due to riding Charlie Morgans coat-tails" person is not the person then they probably do not care much about their Indy properties. Talk about a drop off from Hoover to this clown. Time for Entercom to streamline and sell these properties because obviously they do not take it seriously with Jenny CLUELESS Skjodt and her cast of "has beens" she has brought in since she took over.
 
Scott is a smart, talented guy who will land on his feet and prosper at whatever he does.

I feel compelled to defend my friend Jennifer Skjodt. She's a person of character and integrity who is actually very programming friendly. I spent a lot of years working for and with her. She is probably the most gifted salesperson I've ever met. One-on-one with a client, I don't think there's anyone better. Yes she has her issues like we all do, but her word is good and she is fair. Most of us who worked with her in the past would love to work for her again.
 
I get Radio now quite listenable down on 46, which I guess is still the north side,, B097 seems like it is going in an Adult Direction,, why did they get rid of Alex in the morning,, I liked his Show,, Josh seems like a really nice guy, but he doesnt have a good morning voice,, he was great as Alex's side kick, but B-97 in 2008 and 2009 had a rhythmic dance lean, and now they seem to be a Hot AC Rock leaned CHR... they play very little hip hop or dance product, while Radio now leans quite Rhythmic and has a Hip Hop-Dance,POP lean,,, yeah they play taylor swift and all the big rock hits, but WB is still playing rock AC stiffs like uncle Kracker-Follow Me.. I think WB is more of an Adult top 40,, I live in martinsville and get a better signal on radio now than on WB. None of the Kids in martinsville listen to B-97 since they moved away from their youth lean,, All the kids here listen to Radio now,, even though WB sells Martinsville Comericials and tries to target us,, their signal here outside of a car radio isnt reliable. Plus Radio now has much better processing.

Of COURSE they did! They're an EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER!

Seems Entercom hired a SM in July, relocates him from Florida and then cuts him loose at the end of September...wow Skjodt and her OLD PRUNE (Reyburn) strikes again. Lets see hire a DOS in January and fire in Feb. Hire and relocate a SM in July and fire in September. If you go to work at Entercom, make sure you get in good with the OLD PRUNE. The cluster is not even close to beating the market either per MK. WOW....great hire.. Keep hiring the Jenny Skjodts and let her hire OLD PRUNES and your stock price will be right next to Emmis.

Semingly.. I did hear them play Closing Time from I dont remember the BAND, but it was on the no refusal nooner
