Syracuse Radio... WTF

Re: Elm Street Reaches Ocean?

You would have to sit at the bar with a beer, in USA Sams to dice me Rox. This person is the real baby. Lets see if i can remember the last names...lol. Mark Hewson, former roomate and club 37's main DJ. I also worked with him at Best Buy at 11/hr, 1/2 of what im getting now....lol. Joe Acarino roomate and a good beat matcher, probably still working in the business. Mike L?? from suburban park? Well i dont know if he would want me to mention his last name here. LOL, i dont really mind if someone calls me a f'ing wingnut either but is he asking me to stop typing on this public foreskum? Wannabe? Is this saying that radio is a great thing? My numbers are my justification. Traffic? You mean the occasional burst for a week when the book comes out? Sorry i had to type this fast, im going to get naked.<P ID="signature">______________

Whas THIS Really Necessary?

Now THAT image is enough to put you right off your dinner. Eeeewwwww.

I guess it's my own fault for reading an obvious B.O. post. What was I thinking?

Ummm, B.O. Sam's has been gone now for about 20 years.

Am not, am not, am not...(sticking out my tongue at you Brian)

Wow, must be you've laid off the left handed cigarettes.

Nope, just stop looking for attention... it's over, dude!

> Wannabe? Is this saying that radio is a great thing? My numbers are my >justification.

Numbers? Oh yeah, I forgot about the Birch Surveys, my bad.

>Traffic? You mean the occasional burst for a week when the book comes out?

No, I mean you are a train wreck and everyone's rubbernecking.

>Sorry i had to type this fast, im going to get naked.

Oooooooooooof, naked? Is (BLEEP) Eye on? Please don't ever give us that much info about your private life. We don't need the image of you and your 2 mullets haunting us...

I don't know if you've noticed, but AOR stations already play practically every song the Scorpions ever recorded because some consultant decided they and AC/DC were the most popular rock bands of the 80s. As a member of the 25-34 demo that wants to forget hair metal ever happened, you play more hair metal, you'll send them running to K-Rock to hear their "gold" songs instead. Unfortunately, I guess the days of the "big tent theory" in any format are over and it's all about programming as narrowly as possible. I think if it's done right (referring to an earlier post) you can still format a rock station to do well both 18-34 and 25-54. The problem is nobody wants to (or can) do something different from what the other stations in other markets are doing.
 
Re: Who said perfection is "yawn" sooooooo friggin boring

It wouldn't surprise me in the least to hear that you walked into a building. Or a lake. Or the side of a moving train.

As far as the air is concerned, that's not the only thing you're on.


If someone was stupid enough to give you a morning show, you'd:

A> Crap your pants.

B> Be the loneliest man in town inside a week.
