- Thread starter BossJock1947
- Start date
How about something more radical in the programming area bossjock? Lure Scott Shannon away from WPLJ and let him have some fun in a NYC way with this station. I think the key to this station working is that it needs the sound of 1983 Z-100 and WPLJ. Not necessarily heavy 80's music, but the formatics and jingles. This might end up being a really fun station to listen to.

Hoo boy-yes, let's really screw the return of CBS-FM up with a bogus-sounding boss jock approach.
Boss jock radio was fabulous, for it's time. That was the late 60s and we are in the 2000s. Let it go.

Re: yecch
Never said "Boss Jock" was the way to go. But i would like to ask you a question...
Can you tell me the difference between BOSS JOCK and TODAY in CHR or Oldies.
BOSS JOCK is just a slogan not paticularly a style. The boss jocks of the 60s all sounded different. Maybe they were more brief in there breaks but like any generation the 60s had Natural, Rapid Fire style, Pukey, Uptempo, Laid back. I would hardly call Dan Imgram, Harry Harrison, Cousin Brucie BOSSJOCKS. They were PERSONALITIES.

And it ain't gonna happen
Like screaming DJs? Like speeded-up music? Listeners will wish Jack came back.
Besides, Scott Shannon now works for Citadel and likely has a non-compete clause in his contract at PLJ.

Why, so we can have a True Oldies approach? Please. True Oldies is filler for 250 watt daytimers about to go dark.

Re: yecch
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! "Boss Jock" is a definite style. And, the last thing grown-up adults want is screamin' rapid-fire shuck-n-jive DJs.
Hint: it was OK when they were 15 and you had 4 radio stations to choose from. If you're 50, you want to listen to somebody who connects with you, not hollers at you.

Please link to an aircheck of each to make your point stronger. (or weaker, depending on how one views things) thanks.

Too subjective. I'm talking about appealing to RADIO LISTENERS, not radio industry people.
