So I'd just like to make a few comments and get some feedback. Frankly, I can't get over how much the FM dial has plummeted into an unrecognizable state in Pittsburgh over the past year or so.
First...WAMO. Yes, I understand the station was sold and it was not Sheridan's decision to voluntarily alter WAMO. But what in heaven's name is on that frequency now? It's a worthless frequency...just gone in my opinion. I can easily adapt to change, I'm not a "Pittsburgher" who hates change, but c'mon, that was a heritage station that was a part of Pittsburgh...and poof, it's gone, just wiped 55+ years of heritage off the map...
Froggy 98.3 should have never been sold off. 104.3 is NO WHERE near a valid solution to serve the Pittsburgh area. It fades out absolutely everywhere. Maybe the only place it's decent is out in Robinson? I'm not sure, but everywhere I'm at, that frequency is not worth listening to.
And finally, I'm NOT a B94 worshiper, and I'm not going to light myself on fire for the return of B94 like it seems some people would. But I simply don't understand the reason behind the change. I'm asking a legitimate question. Was it a financial move? I believe it's been mentioned before about CBS having to pay the fees to actually play the music. Ratings wise, the station seemed to be on the rise. I understand that The Fan is seeking a different audience and all that jazz, but I know absolutely no one who listens to that station. I really think it's going to be a flop, once again, just my opinion...but let's say it is a flop. Was that an even worse decision on CBS's part than killing off B94?
Basically 96.1 KISS is the only station preventing me from having my radio removed and a fish tank installed instead. Say what you want about KISS, but I really like their air staff...with the exception of Flick. I'm sorry, but his show is nothing but the same old stuff over and over again and he doesn't seem like a fit on the station. "This guy was dating this girl..." and vice versa, c'mon, switch it up a bit. But, it does seem as if KISS has managed to become a pretty solid staple in Pittsburgh radio mainly because of the interaction by the air staff. Seems to be the B94 of this century!
Anyways, that's enough for now...
