Traffax Done?

I am surprised no one has commented that traffax will soon leave this area and move all opps to Philly. Is this not common knowledge?

I think it is common knowledge.

I know many of the people there, and they are great folks who do a great job. I just wanted to say that before all of the detractors come out of the woodwork with their prattle. There never seems to be a shortage of that here.

Ditto. I know a few of the folks there, too. Great bunch of people. I hope they all land on their feet long before the branch closes.

No, I don't think it is common knowledge among non-radio types. I assumed Traffax was owned by Metro Networks (part of Westwood One), and their cut-back on WITF traffic was just a cut-back. I know how dismal the ad market is, especially in 2nd tier markets like Harrisburg-York-Lancaster. Traffax had become somewhat of a 2nd tier traffic network (except for News8), as CC and Cumulus do their own traffic checks.

Remember "Brian Freeman in the Traffax Command Center"? Before his drug problems became public and before his brief gig on WXBB-97.3, the brief predecessor to the return of WHP-FM (before CC and "The River" debuted), he was the voice of traffic in an area that wondered why we needed a traffic service. Talk about built from scratch! Obviously he made it work here, Allentown, and Delmarva. Too bad his legacy left the way it did.
R.I.P. Traffax.

I heard Traffax is shutting down because Tammy Kolvack did'nt Emphasize the word Traffax during her reports. If only she had listened to others on this board Traffax would be alive and well. Shame on you Tammy!
