Star NOT flipping formats..

Hi guys, I work in Socal radio... San Bernardino/Riverside... Star 98.7 is not flipping formats. The Star/Modern AC format is DEF a format that even I would recreate if CC ever screwed up and dumped it. CC would not dump Star 98.7. CC said they were taking the station's morning show into a different direction, NOT the station in its entirety
 
No comrades!! They are absolutely NOT flipping format!!
My KGB sources tell me that the new morning show, (from ANOTHER HOT AC Station) is already hired.
They will soon "reunite with former coworkers" in LA.


On another note...........
However, what's with the rumor I hear about "Jamie, El Cucuy & Stench"???
Kidding!!

The new morning show won't come from outside 3400 West Olive. And it won't come from another Hot AC.
I hear it'll be announced soon and it'll be a surprise to many, but a "good" surprise!

Lisa Foxx and.... ?

And who'll replace Lisa? Maybe there are some other displaced CC jocks that would sound good on Star.

He's from KIIS of all places and he will pair with Foxx...
 
Comrades.
Its actually Lisa Foxx and Valentine (KIIS-FM's current afternnon driver), but indeed
on the air in mornings in many other markets (including some Hot AC's).

The point is of course.....NO FORMAT CHANGE!
 
If this is true, I certainly hope that it won't be a copy of the disastrous hiring of Sean 'Hollywood' Hamilton at oldies KRTH a couple of years ago.
 
Certainly not....
1) Valentine has a history with many STAR listeners who've crossed from KIIS in the past decade.
2) Valentine is a proven morning show host. (He does quite well in some pretty big markets).
3) Lisa Foxx has a high likeability with core STAR listeners and is regarded by them as one of the "good" things about the station.
4) They are going to do a quite different show than the whining and ranting done by Jamie in her various incarnations. "Hollywood" although a great talent on his own, was not adding anything to the mix that the very capable Gary Bryan wasn't already doing. So some found the show to be a disappointing replacement. I don't think you'll see a replay of that KRTH miscue.
 
Their ratings have gone up, so I don't expect them to flip now with a new morning show.

Valentine's 25-54 numbers in PM drive at KIIS are a HUGE reason for their recent rise to #1, so it makes some sense for CC to try this new morning show.

KBIG is ANOTHER story!!!!!!
