T.O. this T.O. that...

Come on YSP, enough is enough, the average rock fan wants to hear Judas Priest/Crue updates and brand new rock, also classic metal, WE don't want to hear about T.O. every 5 minutes, how the Eagles are doing today, where Merrill buys his clothes. I know this is so repititious but I do not think a rock station should be interrupting the flow with all this Eagles talk. On another note, there was no mention on YSP of the superstar the Flyers picked up who will definitely help bring the cup home next year...if YSP wants to be Eagles 24/7/365 give the ball of wax to some other deserving station and be WIP II.

If there's that much of a gaping hole for WYSP's music without the Eagles, someone can fill it--there's no need for YSP to "gibe the ball of wax" to anyone. If they get beaten, so be it--but if they're gaining more than they're losing from blending music and Eagles, why change?

Rock listeners haven't minded "interrupting the flow" for Howard; occassional Eagles updates are just one more way to broaden the appeal to the core audiene.

If they were the "official home of the Flyers" you would be getting a lot of Forsberg talk too, not just T.O. Randy Kotz spoke at length about the T.O. situation on MMR when the latest eagles fiasco took place too, as did a few other radio stations. Apparently Eagles GAMES do well numbers wise for YSP, however, they are running the risk of turning off more than just casual listeners with too much too soon. Like you, I am totally T.O.'d out.

Are you kidding?? Merrill Reese is creaming his jeans all year because he can't wait to drone on and on about eagle stats and off the field Eagles BS. Hell, he probably is so anxious every time he records more worthless updates that poor merrill is ready to go through the roof.

And in many people's minds, they were a rock station when they ran 13 hours a day of talk, too. Perception is reality--they spend the majority of every day on balance playing rock. People think of them as primarily a rock station. Therefore they're a rock station. Not my choice of one by any means, and obviously not for others, but they're still a rock station.

Football rules Philly. Every station in Philly is reporting on the Eagles. Its what people want to hear.
 
T.O.=Totally Overboard

As I'm sure you know, YSP is the "Eagles Station". Their games are on YSP. Plus, the Sales Managers are now pushing the Account Execs out on the streets to sell those H-U-G-E Eagles advertising packages to potential clients for big bucks! ( I've seen those packages and they're hugely expensive! ) If the "Eagles Station" isn't talking the Eagles up big-time at every opportunity, the potential clients will think that YSP doesn't even support its own programming. I'd bet a Benjamin that the Programming Department has instructed the jocks to talk up the Eagles and has...probably...provided liners or talking-points for the jocks to use.

With the departure of Howard, a major $$ source will also depart YSP. Infinity, no slouch in the "W-hore of Babylon" philosophy of marketing, is most certainly nervous about meeting targeted revenue projections set for YSP by Corporate. Failure to meet or exceed those goals would almost certainly spell the demise of some Sales Managers and more than one Account Executive.

By the way, I didn't see you complain about PEN's dropping of music to air Hawks B-Ball or XTU dropping music to air NASCAR. :) In today's economy, many stations bottom line trumps programming every single day. Never forget that the bottom line will always be the "bottom line."
