If I missed it. I sincerely apologize. But I’m Figuring That their Surprise on Tuesday Morning Will be the TJ Show. Exactly what type of show does he do? Is this Emmis’s permanent plan ? Or is he a Temp until they sell the station. ?

TJ 98.7
- Thread starter Always interested
- Start date
They, Emmis, has said that this is a fill in show, not permanent.
Thanks for the info I appreciate it. But what type of Show is it ? I’ve never heard of him before
If I am to believe their website, the TJ Show has 60 American affiliates, plus one in the U.K. and another in the Yukon. That doesn't count the pop-up on 98.7.
But they do stretch the truth. Their station on the East End of L.I. is listed as "Nassau-Suffolk", though I seriously doubt anyone in Nassau County ever pulled in WBEA or any or its predecessors over the air.

Nassau-Suffolk is the name of the market, although WBEA serves only a small part of it. Their so-called Dallas station is actually in the Paris, Texas area, which is about 100 miles northeast of Dallas.
The UK station is a tiny operation, a 50 watt LPFM covering the American airbases and surrounding towns at Lakenheath and Mildenhall. It carries a few U.S. syndicated shows. TJ is sandwiched in a block of syndicated programming between John Tesh and Rick Dees.
So what exactly is the point of giving such high profile to this particular show? Or is it just that he has some connection to Elvis Duran and NYC that makes it "clever?" Does someone think it's the next big thing, despite them being unable to get affiliates of decent size and not exaggerate it?
There is a lot of stretching the truth on that affiliate list...like the Dallas affiliate, the affiliates in the Memphis, Jackson MS, Abilene TX are nowhere close to providing a signal into those markets. The Baltimore outlet is some sort of online radio station.
"Nassau - Suffolk" is the name of the market is in, irrespective of coverage. Normal way of listing one's market; I've never seen someone list their limited coverage station as "...parts of Nassau-Suffolk"!
And this may blow your mind, but radio syndication is usually sold by TELEVISION market. So in theory they could claim WBEA as a New York clearance.
They are short changing themselves then since they could count TWO Dallas affiliates rather than just the one they do....lol. One 100 miles northeast of Dallas and another 140 miles southwest of Dallas but both within the TV market.
so TJ paid to get his show on in New York? Lol
On air audition in NY. Maybe carried by another station later
Yes. TJ promised "commercial free" only for the weekend.
Not quite. It's to generate exposure and promotion nationally. Considering my RadioInsight news story on late Friday night is nearing the 10,000 pageview mark, He'll be getting it.
TJ Taormina went to Fairleigh Dickinson University where one of his professors was Judy DeAngelis.
Thank. you 😊
