The Regular Guys loose Dalas station

[RhubarbFan]

The Regular Guys have lost their Dallas affliate because Cummulius wich owns both stations decided to flip the Dallas station to a different format.

Station flipping to I93.3. Any chance the smae thing happens in ATL to 100.5?

I was wondering that myself. It'll be interesting to see how this whole "Quality(sic) Rock" thing works out in ATL. It didn't in Dallas. I think that Rock100.5 made a mistake flipping from heritage/newer classic rock to what is merely a slightly harder version of AAA Dave.

Phewww. I mis-read it at first and thought TRG lose Dallas station. I feel much better knowing TRG loose Dalas station. It would have sucked to already lose the syndication deal.


I half expect 99x to return to 100.5. They are not going away from Rock though is my guess unless they go sports. They are picking up the Braves next season. Can you imagine the headaches the Braveres fad with CC. A different FM station or format every season almost.

That has yet to be confirmed. So at this time thats not true.

When Is Cumulus Atlanta going to bite the bullet and admit that "quality" rock is a disaster? I stumbled upon Barenaked Ladies' "If I Had a Million Dollars" a couple of days ago--the first time I ever heard it--and I thought it was a really bad and really long jingle for a furniture store that the owner had farmed out to his dimwitted son-in-law. But it went on so long I finally realized that, no, this was a real song. Why it's being played on a so-called "rock" station is anybody's guess.

Is it really too much to ask that the #7 market in the country have some kind of classic rock station? We've got at least 5 stations that will play Dave "here's another song that sounds like all my others" Matthews, but not one that will play Rush. Unless it's in the wee smalls of the morning. Pathetic.

Just a matter of time before Cumulus starts cutting salaries on TRG's show. Tim Andrews, Mark, others... = expendable in Cumulus' eyes.

"Is it really too much to ask that the #7 market in the country have some kind of classic rock station?"

I would love for whoever programs the music w/100.5 to just grow a pair and push a classic rock/classic hard rock format. Lots of options there..plenty of one-hitters and deep tracks that took of in some cities and not others. That might be too niche, though.

it didn't work out in dallas? they weren't even on the air for 4 months. and clearly no one put much thought behind the station during that time. half-assed? i'd go with quarter-assed. so we'll never know whether the station done correctly would've worked.

KDBN's ratings as a classic rocker were abysmal. 1.0 or so. As "Quality Rock"...they were half of that. Cumulus has no $$$ for marketing or promotion. That didn't help...but the music was simply terrible. Barenaked Ladies and Counting Crows are NOT quality rock.

Too bad TRG didn't move to Dallas and Cumulus change the Atlanta format. I used to listen to the TRG every morning, and was especially glad when they added Steve and Tim, but now it's almost non-stop conservative talk radio. I don't need more politics with my morning commute. Larry is the most annoying.
Now I'm back to 99X. Love the music.

 

[etrain0205]

I think the whole syndication idea was terrible for TRG. Their show suffered because of this. Hopefully they can get some of the edge back.

Yeah, my bro-in-law says the same thing...he used to like to listen to them because he thought they were funny...but now everything is the same obama jokes in a different wrapper. I'm sure TRG's demo loves it.
