Something BIG is coming to Greensboro

Josh Owens said:
Syndicated? I thought 'COG was just automated with voice tracking, etc. What do you mean by syndicated? I thought also, that 'BG was doing some locally (as in Greensboro)-originated sports programming, etc, not just simulcasting 'TOB, they were, last time I heard, believe it was. So they're back to simulcasting fulltime now? If anything, all of the aforementioned stations are keeping the old call signs alive from their haydays and I can't say the music is my cup of tea, but it's for for the most part, save for 'BIG, what they played back in the day.

wcog is currently westwood one syndicated, no voice tracking. what i was doing can't really be called voice tracking, either. and yes they do split programming on BG for some greensboro sports, you are correct.

i was the local host most of 2023. but even then it was only recording tracks to play between songs, they wouldn't even buy their automation's voice track module ($200 and i tried to pay for it myself). before me, Greg Rice did mornings live from his home studio. I tried to do that but they wouldn't agree to it. i stepped away because they weren't doing anything to make any money and couldn't even commit to letting me properly voice track it. the two owners did their own version of the recorded tracks for a few months (and totally blamed me for abandoning them in their time of "need." well with a friend like me, you'll never need an enema), and then went to westwood one 24/7. all the hosts are westwood one hosts. they are discussing switching to another provider in place of westwood one because of the cost.
as for the WBIG calls, i hope they do something. otherwise you're right, it'll be just to relive nostalgia. i hope they do something with WBIG, especially since i'm how they found out that the aurora, il station was for sale.

Wow. Now where's that sad face? I thought Stu owned 'COG. Speaking of Stu, they own 'PET and Dave does his voice tracking from the attic in Reidsville LOL. He goes into Winston like once a week, for Stu's Bible Study and maybe a little office work. I believe he may go to Greensboro to pick up a preacher's tape(s), but IIRC, he does it all (including deal with stations not even listed on their site) from home.

Roger on the clarification, thanks. Oh and I really need to start proofreading these things, not just thinking and typing. :D)
