I agree. Yes, Love 94 was the wrong station to have been flipped, but there is nothing that can be done now. Mega 94.9 should have been flipped, and repackaged as I-95 with the WINZ-FM calls, with the rhythmic AC format. CC blew up the wrong station as they always do.bat manny said:
Speaking of new rock, 93 Rock should be focused on new rock and not be obsessed with trying to compete with Big 105.9. It is a very small piece of the ratings pie to try to fight over. Getting back to the subject of 93.9 MIA, they play other songs besides Mambo #5 and Michael Jackson. They also play new music also.There are playing songs that weren't getting any airplay on other stations before 93.9 MIA signed on. If they can manage to execute the playlist and format the way it is suppose to be done, they should easily be able to cause some damage in the ratings to 101.5 and to 97.3. As for new rock, it just does not get ratings here. I myself like rock, not here to bash it, just doesn't cut it with the demos here. Zeta and She 103.5 were the greatest stations to ever play rock. They just didn't cut it because of the demos of this area. Bottom line here, NO REVENUE, NO RATINGS, equals NO ROCK.1059LUVR said:
As long as they focus on the format, balance it out with enough new and old music, especially Miami freestyle music, they will do just fine in the ratings. There is an audience out there for rhythmic AC.They play songs that 101.5 and 97.3 won't touch. Alot of the music that 93.9 MIA plays is what helped Y-100 and Power 96 have strong ratings in the 80's. Those who were young and grew up here in Miami in the 80's are now adults in their early 30's through their late 40's. This demo has great spending power and is the desired demo that CC is targeting here. This is where the money is, not the aging 55+ demo, the real reason why love 94 got blown up.strangelove said:

To shake things up in this boring market, what CC should do is put the classic rock format back on 103.5 as SHE 103.5 as it once was with Paul and Young Ron, and use the 105.9 frequency for the much talked about station on this board "WIOD-FM". Knowing how clueless CC is, they probaly will never do this since they have no clue on how to run sucessful stations. All they are good at is screwing up once great stations and making them lifeless. Lifeless radio does not make great radio. Wish the suits would get this in their thick heads.1059LUVR said:
Simulcasting news-talk AM stations is something typical that CC does. As I said in my last post, CC has no clue on how to run a successful station or better yet, program "great radio". All they care about is running their stations the cheap way. This would be the most cost effective way to run things since there wouldn't be anyone on the payroll to pay. If you carefully read these boards and read the main page of this website, you would realize that all CC is doing so far this year is layoff as much air talent as they can. CC's cost cutting crusade nationwide is the answer to your question of wanting to know why we all are predicting WIOD-FM in the near future if not soon. As for WIOD, it once was a great news-talk station. Had Cox Radio moved them back in the day to FM about 15 to 20 years ago, it would have been a hit in the ratings. Now it would be considered a "Cost Cutting Measure".otherradioboy said:
