Doesn't one come out like real soon ???

I'm interested to hear who did what and see the fallout . Everyone seems to love those 25-54 numbers from a sales point. New stations, new formats, any BIG surprsies ??? ;)
 
Will it last? It is just beginning dude. This isn't like a lame niche format, WOLF is pure Country: a real format with dynamic airtalent and programming. There is a group of young programmers and talent that are exploding on this market. The WOLF team, MOVIN's Lineup, Marcus D will do wonders with KBKS, especially if paired with Jubel in mornings. Young, fresh sound and talent in real (non-niche) formats. This is no JACK, this is no 80's.

Have you heard the talent in the market? Icabod is nice, but nice doesn't cut it for big ratings, just nice ratings. Kent and Alan are nice. These guys are living on past glory. Bob Rivers, I just don't get and he lost about 30% of his audience to BJ Shea with more to come. T-MAN will wither under attack from Marcus D if he is allowed to do mornings. If I am going to war you want young legs: Fitz over Ichabod...Fitz and Marcus D over Kent and Alan...BJ over Bob Rivers...Lisa and MOVIN over T-MAN. Finally Seattle has a team of young talent in programmers and air-staff that will work 60 hours a week until the job is done. Do you really think Ichabod is there after 11am? Do you think Kent is even in the building after 10am (he probably voicetracks the last hour). Bob Rivers misses more shows than he actually shows up for. Why should they work hard...they have big contracts and can ride out the next couple of years. They have no incentive to want it. Now there is a team of people with talent and incentive and the ratings are showing what can happen. WOLF owns Seattle, MOVIN almost catches KUBE 18-34 in JUNE, BJ almost catches Rivers in June. Change is a comin.
 
Amen!!! To the new PD's and talent willing to work the hours to get it done.
WOLF is an inspiration. MOVIN debuts in the last phase #2 in the market 18-34. WOLF ends up top 3 in 25-54. I would say the hard work is paying off.

Click to expand...

KBKS is grooming Jubel to do mornings while J+B are out of town in the next couple weeks... Wonder if they'll have a job to come back to? Or if The End or Movin could start their local morning shows by stealing KBKS's only real morning talent... could be the kind of shake-up this market needs to get people interested again.

TakeItFromMe: Do you think Marcus D would really want a morning gig? Or will he keep his focus on programming?
 
No question Jubel is getting the test to replace Jackie and Bender. He is hip, younger and relates to the audience. J@B will do AC in Spokane or somewhere for Infinity is my bet. Marcus may be needed in mornings to mentor the young talent and my bet is he fades back to be a full-time PD after the Big SHOW gets legs. KISS needs something bad. They were beat in June 18-34 by KUBE followed by MOVIN, WOLF, KMPS and KNDD is coming on.
25-54 they ain't even in the top 20. Marcus is up to the challenge.
 
IveGotAFaceForRadio and TakeItFromMe... lol, oh my god... seriously Fitz. First off, we all know both usernames belong to you. Bot usernames using caps for each word in the username, and both usernames spell fitz- FITZ. You're not fooling anybody dude. Your ratings were good, something to howl about now, but we'll see in the long run. Also, it's obvious you are good friends with Marcus D, we all know you blow him each day when you two have lunch. Nice try, tryin' to throw us off with using one of your usernames asking a question to the other. Just admit that both usernames are you, people will respect you a hell of a lot more on here.
