No...they'll probably hire him as a grammer instructor.

It looks like hammerpants knows something after all. Seacrest starts on "My"92.5 this afternoon at 4. And I'm surprised I'm the first one with all the time in the world to actually post this.
Good Luck to Ryan. Finally some personality in PM Drive!!!

I can't quite figure out the rationale behind adding Seacrest to 92.5. The only explanation I can think of is that someone outside of programming (GM, OM, GSM, etc.) determined that this would be a good move for the station because it might bring in more revenue.
(Pardon me for a moment while I pull out my crystal ball...)
I can just hear them in the sales meeting now... "Hey guys, now you can pitch sponsorship of Seacrest to your clients!" Everyone starts salivating and gets excited now that they've been thrown a bone and a bit of hope. However, everyone starts to discover that no one is able to sell Seacrest any better than what they had before. Pretty soon, Seacrest merely becomes 'added value' and the station is littered with the ton of extra commercials that come with syndication... lowering inventory and/or lengthening stopsets, either of which will add grease to the downward spiral of 92.5.
Not that 92.5 is getting numbers now, but from a programming standpoint, to add Seacrest and a personality driven show to a more automated format... in afternoon drive, no less... is schizophrenic. They'd better pull those "we don't talk" liners out of the system ASAP.
This would have been a much better move for the Zone. I wonder if they even tried. It could have redeemed them a bit.

Seacrest is never going to get any decent numbers in this market, forget it. Seacrest is not the answer.
Ya know, although 92.5's music is pretty decent, I can't stand to listen because of that robotic, bored voice that simply recites the artist/title. When will they learn it's about LOCAL talent, talking to the listener with relatable info and forming a bond....and entertaining. 98 Rock is great at that

I couldn't agree more with John Walker.

Ditto, C.S....
That robotic female voice is also making her presence known at 106.9
in Reno (which comes and goes with the SFO 106.9 here in Sacto),
and the KZZO Zone's female voice comes pretty-close to sounding
like 92.5's and 106.9's...I wonder where else she/it is...
Can we say "ubiquitous"?

92.5's "robot voice" is the Clear Channel/Sac promo director.

When KWOD went 2.0 they also had some robot voice introducing music. Then the ratings slipped under 2.0.
This has always been an industry of copycats... you would think they would only want to copy the success stories.

Hammerpants is right. Whatever happened to originality?

Bob, you must be Chreighton Saunders in disguise. Didn't Bob Whitten die of a heart attack while in a motel with a hooker?
Newsperson responds:
Ryan Seacrest is on 92.5 becasue it's a Clear Channel station and he works for Clear Channel in L.A.
I agree that liners can grind on your nerves.
Yes I have heard the straight back announce on KRNO Sunny 106.9 at Reno. It's hard to imangine but they are a top rated and billing station.
Back here in S.F. the 106.9 is going to news. In the interim they have dropped the liners that say"KFRC is back". They became so pointless.
Is 92.5 billing anywhere near what they were as Y-92?
I will look for yoru replies.

Insiders say 92.5's billing is down MORE THAN HALF (!!) what it was the day it flipped from y92. Agency biz fell off the table at an amazing pace. Spot rates were sliced way down as well.
Good thing they dont have any jocks to pay and the PD makes the same as your average Mr Pickles sandwich maker.

The Summer ratings recently came out and My 92.5 was up from their last book. I wonder if this...along with Seacrest will help them with billing?
