Tape of the 94.5 Flip

Can someone please record the last hour or so of the Rhythmic format on 94.5 in the Triad and the first ten minutes or so of the La Preciosia format? I will provide an FTP address for you to upload the mp3 to, if you can do this for me.

Thanks!

Better yet, if you can post it on a website and paste the link for all to see...you would rank pretty high in my book...

I'm sorry, I don't have the audio just comments. The last hour was very boring (talking about where dou you want to be kissed). At 5:00pm they had the id in Spanish. Went off the air for a couple of minutes. Then they started broadcasting from California. They are trying to iron some wrinkles on the feed, but it sounds good.

What a weak sign off on the Beat's end...talks about the weather, and doesn't even mention the station signing off...

Thanks for the aircheck,

The sad thing is, it probably wouldn't matter if they had talked about the sign-off. 99% of the market wasn't listening anyway.<P ID="signature">______________

Wow...nice cheap shot. Our station was #8 12 plus. Obviously you didn't pay much attention during math class did you?

We worked hard to turn that station around this past year. Good people lost there jobs, so if you are going to make a statement, try to make it a fact.

Sorry, but the truth of the matter is your parent company tried to move in on territory that WJMH clearly dominated... and still does. I feel sorry for the people that lost their jobs. This isn't an easy industry to work in. But I'd been saying prior to day one that this would be the outcome. That's not saying anything about the people who worked there or how hard you guys tried to make it. The problem is that Clear Channel should have looked at the situation they were getting into a little more closely before they had launched The Beat.<P ID="signature">______________

James, not to worry. Clear Channel will F--- this up like they do most everything else and you will get the last laugh. If they cared a lick about quality employees half the people posting here would still be working for them. The format change wasn't about your efforts. It was about bad management, zero leadership and no vision. The same guy who oversees those stations runs Raleigh and that may be their biggest mess in the country. Chin up, you will end up working for someone who gives a damn.

You didn't pay attention in radio class, did you James? If you had you could have drawn more listeners and maybe kept your job. #8? That's the best you can do? Nice try. The days of radio being THE best delivery system for music are over...and the days of the beat being a decent delivery system for hip-hop are WAAAY over. You had like three good books and you blew your opportunity to do anything in the mkt. CC decided not to invest in a local morning show and, from there, it was all over. Meanwhile, I'm learning Spanish. That might be a good career move for you, too.

I love it when people try to make assumptions about things they have no clue about. I've grown up in the market and did my homework. CC signed on 'The Beat' an urban format just like 102. When they finally got the right people in programming, they changed it a bit and went Rythmic/CHR. This strategy I think was good because they fall inbetween WJMH and WKZL. Both of those stations have been around for years. Jamz since the mid to late 80s and KZL was my mom's favorite station in high school! It's very difficult to break into that market when you have mainstay stations as your competitors. If you pay attention to the books, the ratings were on the rise in a hurry. The problems were elsewere. The programming was about the only thing that was done right..and they fire them..that makes sense, doesn't it.

Anyway, goatboy sounds like a 15 year old making himself feel better by making fun of other people's struggle. We're all in the same business and deal with the same things. We should all look out for eachother, because most likely, you'll be in the same position someday in the future.
