Hysterical. Always the opportunist you are Mr. Paul.

I have been doing my homework and I can not figure out what is going on. I have emailed and called repeatedly to the station. They will not make any comment. Is this for real?

Although I am not an everyday frequent listener of The Eagle 106.7, I think this decision was a very bad move. My friends depended on listening to 106.7 fm when 94.9 lite FM was gone in 2006 as well as to get even with the craptastically poor-rated 94.9 The Bull. My friends hated The Bull anyways, so I pretty believed what they were believing. Well, it looks like The Bull won't be craptastic after all knowing that The Eagle won't be in existence because every country listener will be flocking over there like a buy-one-get-one-free sale on jewelry.

And now, what do we have here? Another boring talk station? Let's add more insult to injury in Atlanta radio and turn a respectable country radio station into a Yakety Yak radio station. Atlanta radio was beginning to decline when Peach 94.9 changed its name to lite, and when oldies in Atlanta was gone. It declined even further when 94.9 lite was gone but still had some leverage. Today, Atlanta radio is on life support and pretty much I would rather move to another city that had a mixture of real country or country rock, light rock, and oldies stations. And speaking of light rock, Atlanta DOES NOT have a light rock station. B98.5 is probably the most boring and repetitive station I've ever heard about. Furthermore, they say have Atlanta's best variety? The Eagle has over 600 different songs in their library. What does B98.5 have? Probably less than 220. Go to yes.com and type in B98.5, and you'll find out. They can't even play over 300 different songs in a week, and they call themselves Atlanta's best variety. Very PATHETIC and PITIFUL! To sum it up, a lot of radio listeners won't be listening anytime soon. With Eagle and Kicks gone, there are seriously no good radio stations out there.

At this point, I don't think Citadel is being driven by making great strategic decisions. I think they're being driven by slashing costs to zero any way they can. And, plugging a station in to a talk or oldies satellite service that they already own is going to be cheaper (or completely free depending on their arrangement) compared to trying to figure out the needs of the market and meet them.

They just need to stop the massive bleeding. In the process, ironically, they may finish themselves off, but I don't think they're looking a year or six months down the road, they're just looking to cut costs now.

My sentiments exactly.

Atlanta could really use a true talk station. One that will present both conservative and neo-conservative opinions. I am sick of people like Boortz who are mouth pieces for the lefty, pinko liberals. Boortz supports the myth of Global Warming. I hope the Citadel programmers will give Atlanta what we really are starving for, conservative talk aimed at the conservative majority who are out to stop the known Muslim, B. Hussein Obama from becoming President. There just is no outlet for conservative talk in Atlanta.

Give me a break. All of your posts are about David Paul. And this is hardly "big news".

For those unable to catch on: David Paul noticed all of the predictions about Citadel's move and registered talk1067.com to point to his website. This has NOTHING to do with Citadel.

 

[lilburncommunityradio]

Oh isnt that special ! When you link to this http://www.talk1067.com/ you get David Paul's Website.. Hmm nice.. Well looks like David wants you to listen to him... Creative...Very Creative.. When you doubt, believe this, Eagle did not have the ratings to support all the high dollar salaries, so thats why whatever lands here, will either go or fail. I dont think talk will land, because its cheaper in the long run to automate and run some type of music programming. Plus Atlanta needs at least one oldies station..

And speaking of light rock, Atlanta DOES NOT have a light rock station.

B98.5 is quite hard for an AC station. Someone could probably get some decent share with a soft AC or easy-listening station (not Beautiful Music-not that soft). Basically a blue-eyed version of WJZF.

B98.5's playlist is interesting. They seem to have a playlist of cuts they play over and over...and another huge playlist of stuff they have on light rotation.

Yes, I know, most stations do that. But not to B98.5's extreme.

I don't think that FM talk is viable in ATL--too many AM talkers that people don't listen to already. If I were programming WYAY on the cheap, it would be oldies or soft AC. Both formats can be syndicated or VTed. And if someone poached those formats, I would look at modern alternative (harder than AAA, softer than active rock), unless the poachers left another obvious hole by their move.

One thing to consider--with the demise of radio that everyone's talking about, wouldn't an "audio wallpaper" format (smooth jazz, AC, oldies, classic country) do better than a more engaging format (modern country, CHR, AOR/active rock, urban, alternative)? It seems like the more engaged listeners would seek out narrowcast formats from the Internet and satellite. Now combine that with my rule that the future of terrestrial radio lies with formats that appeal to lower incomes that can't afford (teenybopper CHR, active rock, country, Latino, urban) or people who won't pay for (oldies, AC) satellite, or have substantial local content (local news, talk, sports).

My guess is that WYAY will morph to classic country, oldies, or soft AC, or maybe Latino. Syndicated or VTed.

So let me get this straight, you are upto four total posts, all today and all related to David Paul yet we are to believe you are not him. You just randomly decided to make up a website address name, check it and then sign up on the Radio-info board to let us all know where it is directed. How completely pathetic, Mr. Paul.

 

[bnaivar]

...so they're going to talk about oldies? ???





( ;D)

 

[BigMcDoggie]

NO, I am the Top Dog of the station in question and just drumming up a little commotion for my passion. LOL www.Talk1067.com Who is behind this?

B98.5 is considered more of a Modern AC or something similar to hot adult contemporary and possibly adult top 40 like STAR 94. They have no business considering themselves as soft rock or light rock if they can't redefine what kind of songs they play. Also, I would restore a little more credibility to their station if they can increase their playlist instead of playing the same <220 songs or so every day. Nobody wants to hear "Bad Day" blaring into their ears five times a day.

By the way, Steve and Vikki will be heading to B98.5 in July. I'm sure that will encourage more listeners to listen to a currently dull radio station right now. It remains to be seen what will happen on 106.7 the next few weeks. I'm sure talk, unfortunately, is most likely the choice Citadel will make, however, if they have the right attitude and listen to the voices of radio listeners and cut costs, then oldies has a chance to make it to the Atlanta area which is perfectly fine for me. Atlanta needs an oldies station like many other big radio markets around the country. I highly doubt that they will make 106.7 country again as much as I want Eagle to stay.

ABC has talent like Sean Hannity, Mark Levine and TRN has Savage and since Cox buried him at night, they don't carry Hannity live maybe there is some there there.
