I have nothing personal against Roula, Ryan or Eric. I wish them all the best and hope they can find a new gig and a new niche.
However, the numbers don't lie. Many people on this board DO work in radio or at least have an official association with it and you seem to be saying that you don't.
Trust the radio savvy people--a little education never hurt.
I could name many programs or DJ's that I really liked, sometimes even loved, but that doesn't change the fact that I was one person who liked them and there weren't enough other people like me.
Hell, my favorite sport is the NBA. Do you know how much Harris Polls and the media have started to (BLEEP) on my sport? Do you?!?
Well guess what, it's life. Get over it and get on with life.
Few people on this board genuinely hate R&R, but many people turn venomous when people like you start making erroneous claims based on facts you don't have and don't try to get.
R&R, as I said (if you actually read my post), were the only lifeboat for Mix. They were the only thing pulling respectable numbers. The rest of the station was mostly in the toilet.
I am torn because I am a longtime Malone fan but also think CC's business decision was looking at a short-term fixation to boost morning drive numbers slightly instead of realizing that the entire station's attemtped format is dead.
Mix is out. Jack and Dave and Bob are in. The numbers vary between cities, but Jack has proven to be a far more successful branding in terms of playing variety than any 'Mix' format.
You can either trust our facts, take our advice and get over it or continue to complain like children.
You have the constitutional right to do any of these three. Although, I think I speak for everyone else on this board when I say that I hope you pick one of the first two options.
