Good start, but c'mon Meg and Kevin--let's get both nights: his 60s show on Saturdays ("from the basement") and his 70s show on Sundays.
Time to put Wheezer Heywood in the smoking lounge permanently. Oddly enough, I think Max's invention is helping TK run his show. Oh, the ignomony.
And the Jukebox Sunday Night show was a good idea, but it's not that compelling; nor is the playlist that deep. It's almost like CC, with contempt, said to Majic's more seasoned listeners--"we don't care about you, really, but you complained enough--here, have this crumb of a 50s/60s show, badly run".
And thank God that Steve Goddard is going off. Most over-modulated show in the history of syndication. Talk about bright!

Tom's a friend of mine and I'm ecstatic for him finally nailing WMJI. It's a no brainer, especially given his WIXY, WGCL and WQAL roots. However, I don't think the Sunday Night Jukebox Show should be replaced. Musically it's a great! It super serves the upper core and it's not the same "Fried 400" that gets doled out weekdays. It's REFRESHING.
Sidenote: WMJI's Sunday Oldies Jukebox was an idea Popovich got from me. We were doing a show called "At The Hop" at WTRG/Raleigh, where it was Top 5 P25-54. Musically we were much more broad, but still 54-63. I programmed the music, using Norm N. Nite's "Rock On Almanac" as a guide. The show, which I hosted for two years (15 share average 35-64, 19 share Fall 02), was highly produced. Sounded great! Listeners loved it. Even added a "Moonlight Memories" segment from 10p-12M, which I "borrowed" from Norm. Female listeners increased 300% after adding that feature. Impressive given the timeslot on a Sunday night. Popovich and I chatted about At The Hop. I sent the playlist to him. A month later WMJI has it's Sunday Jukebox. Lame name, but at least the core, the bedrock that made WMJI the powerhouse it is today, was not being overlooked. Gotta super serve the core. Without them you're gonna hurt.
I digress...
With that said, The Sunday Night show needs to be better produced and needs a better talent in that slot (Hello?!? NORM NITE SHOULD BE HIRED...or ME). The playlist is pretty good. It could be broader, but for the most part not bad. The dead segues have to go! Not to mention the Sunday Night show gets very respectful ratings.
I agree that Tom's HOFCTC should be on Saturday nights, if you can't do a quality local show. TK is an incredible talent. It's tough to do better. But even he would prefer a good LOCAL show. TK's 70's show could be put on WMJI BEFORE the Sunday Night Jukebox.
Here's a suggestion. Put TK on WMJI Monday-Friday 7p-12M LIVE off the bird. WMJI would be Top 10 25-54 nights...maybe even top 5, with TK M-F.

I second.
That would be an improvement over the "Music Magazine" and a VT'ed Daune Robinson, no? And you'd also have the "We're bringing back a WIXY Superman" built right in, too! Just like when, well, WMJI brought back Billy Bass!
(Speaking of which, I noticed on the WIXY tribute site that the 1260 switch from WDOK-AM to WIXY will have occured 40 YEARS AGO as of December 11! WMJI better do something to commerate this!)

Don't hold your breath. The "looking back" for WMJI seems to be over. There hasn't been a WIXY Reunion Weekend since 1997. Partly due to expense, but that can traded. Mostly it's due to not focusing on nostalgia. Bad move IMHO. In fact, the last WIXY Weekend, about six weeks ago, was horrible. No imaging to support it save for the TOH. Jocks seemed disinterested. No WIXY audio to support the weekend. NO theater of the mind, which is what radio is supposed to do. No emotional connection. If there's no emotional connection, dead segues, lifeless inane imaging, and jocks who track, no wonder radio listenership is off 13% (according to Arbitron). Shorter stopsets help TSL. Better written/produced spots help. But spot load isn't the main problem. Tight playlists, library formats being treated as CHR with small lists and tight rotations. Programmers who program to not lose what they have instead of trying to build upon what they already have. Consumers are more savvy, and tech savvy, than ever before. Radio has not kept up. Radio has pushed people away. Radio is no longer the main supplier of music and information. Radio can do something the others can't. Be local - that means live talent. Good live talent is not born, it's manufactured thru good coaching from talented programmers. Radio, to get people to listen, needs to be what it used to be. THE place to go for music and info and (drumroll) entertainment. Personalities are key, with playlists that aren't choked by Selector whizes who never leave their office or the idiotic 10 in a row drivel that's pushed on people. If the programming is good people will listen. It's simple. Entertain and they will listen. Which will make money in the long run.

You are forgetting the very last one in 1999. They broadcasted live from Ghoulardifest with some of the most fun radio that I ever heard. I went there and met Jack Armstrong, Chuck Knapp, Lou King Kirby, Mike Reneri and Billy Bass. By the way, when are we going to hear the aircheck that you said that you have of Scott Howitt and Jack Armstrong TOGETHER on WMJI from the '99 reunion? I also remember when Scott did his show live from Cancun, Mexico, Lou King Kirby, who lives there, dropped by and co-hosted for a while with Scott. Wow! What the hell happened to this kind of wonderful radio?

I think that the present WMJI "programmers"--I use the term loosly--were simply going through the motions, like they seem to be doing with everything these days. They don't seem to have a real understanding of their product, nor any emotional connection or passion whatsoever.

I agree with you. However, the current corporate model is to run these places like Burger King with common logos, simple cliche-ridden concepts which are easy to duplicate nationally, and tight tight tight national playlists with virtually no consideration for local flavor or historical. And deejays who actually know and love the music which they play? Well, that's the most dangerous thing in the world to the Burger King radio crowd. Better to hire people who don't know the music and / or give a sh*t. That way the corporate guys won't have to put up with any "whining" from the locals or risk that the format will be tampered with. Plus they are cheap and easily replacable.
This is so sad. But at least we have some airchecks from the great days. So, let's hear more!

That was the 1997 one. It seems so much closer than that--maybe that's just how we get older. But that Goulardifest broadcast was the 1997 WIXY Reunion. Nationwide owned them then--still somewhat local. By 1999 it was Jacor heading towards Clear Channel--no fun allowed.

No, the last one was 1997 (Oct). I was there. I ran the board for the Howitt-Armstrong remote from Ghoulardifest. I copied the master tapes that we archived the weekend on (VHS). I labeled mine as well. No doubt it was Oct 1997...almost 10 years now...sad. I was also at WMJI/WMMS in 1999. No WIXY Reunion then. I have the 45 min check of Scott & Big Jack, but nowhere to post it. WIXY tribute site creator Ray Glasser has a copy of it as I just sent the tapes to him to master to Cd. You can hear some of that weekend on my www.reelradio.com collection. It's The King with Luther Heggs. Audio is a bit rough since it came off of a VHS tape. Some flutter. But you can hear how good the audio is, compression, etc. And reverb!<P ID="signature">______________

Wow, I could have sworn there was one in '99. I guess the one I remember
was 1997....the one from Ghoularifest. What a blast!
