Strange Saturday on 98.1

Yeah...What up with the Best of for a show that's only been on a little over 1 Month. I guess most major stations in the Atlanta market do this. For Uncle Rich and Benji it must have been quite a challenge to put together this type of show with so little to work with. What say you?

It seemed to be less a best of, and more a way to promote the show.

I caught about an hour or so, and it would have been much more effective if they were a bit more selective about the material they used. Thirty seconds of really funny stuff goes a lot farther than three minutes of mediocre material.
It sounded out of place, but almost everything about CC's Newnan operation has sounded more than a bit disorganized since they shook everything up last summer.

BTW, it seems like this is the way it's going to be, and these ordianry Rich and Benji "promos" will stay.

It seems that group of stations is always promoting something and somebody different. Why all the change? Is there any constant with that Group? Is this a sign that one day the entire operation will be gone and radio south of Atlanta will no longer exist? Except for Lagrange and of course Columbus. We once had local radio for our side of Atlanta that truly mattered. Local radio will be the only thing to save radio as we know it today. Does anybody get that or care? Local affordable radio for high school sports, local remotes, local business that can't afford Atlanta ad rates, local personalities that make that specific area their home. If those days are over, then go ahead and grab the nearest sirius or XM and sign me up. The local aspect of regular radio is the only chance at survival. Good luck to us all.

Unfortunately, this IS the shape of things to come. This is what happens when a group of know-it-alls have a plan to take over a station and it blows up in their face. NOT one person is better off today than they were 5 months ago.
People are making less money, looking for other jobs and pointing fingers at the group who has put the stations future and everyone else’s job in jeopardy. Do you think it’s a coincidence Jim Martin has deliberately chosen NOT to promote from within?
720’s local programming has been gutted and Magic 98 is next. WCOH will be sold-off.
It took years to build a local reputation in the market and it will take the flip of a switch to destroy it as CC looks at the cheapest way to run the stations out of Columbus.
What were some of these people thinking…?
 
>OJ, everyone on this board knows your conspiracy theory, we all know who you blame for what happened, and are pretty much tired of listening to it. Everytime a discussion starts on this board about the lagrange cluster, you ruin it with your whining and complaining... let's talk about the future of the stations and stop dwelling on the past, Clearchannel is a big company, and wouldn't make changes like they made without a good reason, not just because people complained....

by the way OJ, who shot JFK ? And where is Elvis? You seem to be very anonymous, do you live in area 51?

the folks in lagrange are doing the best they can with the changes that were made, from what many have told me the changes were on the way anyway and there was nothing even joe could have done about it...
as paul harvey would say.... good day !

Hmm… I didn’t know Lee Arrington had admitted to shooting JFK… Interesting.

The word “theory” went away once Lee and others admitted to the whole thing… And, that they did it to get rid of Joe because “it HAD to be done”
Before you sound off calling something a conspiracy “theory” get all the facts! Once people admit to doing it… it’s no longer a “theory”.

“Now you know... the ressst of the story…”
