The NEW KTFM ?

S

sadra

More like; "DEAD STATION WALKING".

So Hot Henrietta and Rick the Stick are gone.......its not like some high and mighty programmin guru said, "You know, I think Robin Flores and Neeka sound so much better than Hnerietta and Rick so lets fire them and put Florez and Neeka on instead". NOT !

Fact is the moves are all designed to cut the bottom line so that the station show a profit and everyone at the top ca make their "end of year" Bonus.

Look. KTFM will now start operating on a skeleton crew. The once Operations Manager (Florez) has been demoted to Program Director / Morning Guy. The least experienced and lowest paid member of the air staff, the night girl, will be his co-host by default. "Lilly" is ahnging on to Mid Days by the skin of her teeth and Poor Dr Rex will take over afternoos, probably on a Part Time/Full Time staus with No Benefits, plus Florez's resident helper and mix dj, Danny D will add Night Jock to the rest of his duties. So ? That didn't cost a cent, did it ?

If anyone thinks things are looking up for the NEW KTFM. Think again. Its a DEAD MAN WALKING !

The public and BMP would be better served of they would just removed all the "live" Djs on KTFM and let the music play.
 
You must really be p*ssed or drunk or both. Its very entertaining, and insightful, but the spelling errors are hilarious. I've been reading this site for a few months and I have noticed some very poor spelling habits. I guess most of you are typing into your blackberries way too fast as you're blasting through red lights and stop signs. Its sad that people lost their jobs and what's happened to radio overall in the last 5-10-20 years. You'll never have the perfect radio station that pleases you all the time except the one that you make for yourself. I don't know anyone who listens to radio at home. Its either while in the car or at work. And if its at work and there are women around, its usually country or magic 105.3 or KQXT. On the other hand, if its men only then its usually sports or KISS, KZEP or KMFR. The kids don't listen to the radio after they outgrow radio disney, because they have so many techno toys that hold not only limitless quantities of music, but video as well. Now with digital radio being shoved down our throats and all those soon to come software upgrades available for purchase, free radio for the masses will be a thing of the past. This was all predicted 20 years ago in a corny TV show that showed the world "20 minutes into the future". You should watch a few episodes, because everything they had there, we have here now: the elimination of the middle class, the internet, electronic currency, total surveillance of everyone everywhere, corporations calling the shots, education and literacy available only to those who can afford it and complete and total control of everything by computers. Blank Reg once said, "Remember when we all said there was no future? Well, this is it!" Welcome to the future.
 
The Facts: AM/FM is not dying as in the above statement. Recent research shows younger people are still listening and so are the rest of us. Quality radio is returning now to the small and medium markets due to Clear Channel selling off properties and now Dan Mason of CBS starting to right some CBS failures. Get a grip...radio is not dead. PPM will continue to show some surprising numbers as well. Younger listeners still get to hear brand new songs debuted on FM music radio and then go and download them to Ipods and such. Radio still breaks all things new...that is reality...instead of cassettes or CDs...now you have digital items to record your new favorite songs that your favorite stations played first and you heard and liked!!!! The process is the same with newer technology!!

So what you're saying is.... you aren't intelligent enough to understand what people are typing if it is spelled wrong?? I don't know, I guess that is how I understood that.


Dear bbcdxr,

kno 1 carez bout spaelling corrrrectly. wut a wayste of tyme it wud b if evrrrryone did cuz therrrrrrre are wey more important thingz 2 worrry bout n life.
 
Sad to hear people are getting laid off. Hey thats the business. I've always said you're a loaf of bread and I guess the loaf was full of mold.

Trends for the "old school" format show that they do well the first two books or so but linger after that. It happened nation wide. What they needed to do was to mix it up with some 90's rythmic. It's like DJing a high school reunion. Alumni get tired of the retro and want to come back to today after a while. Oh and Robbin Flores needed to pronounce a little better. Especially when he said POINT ONE. poeen one?

The "We listened to what you wanted" campaign was/is a total joke. Jocks were off for days just to come back with a slightly tweaked format and more use of the KTFM calls? Don't get it....Neither did the listeners.

Hey maybe they can switch and compete with another dying format.....Tejano 107.5?
