Since they had such a great book, I've been tuning in to Young and Elder lately. These guys are stinking hilarious! Does anyone know who runs the board? I know one of the guys does most of the fake voices on the phone ALA Phil Hendrie. They must have a producer/comedy writer doing the he/she teacher bit where they conference the fake school teacher with an angry caller. Freakin' brilliant radio. Any insight on how they pull it off?

Neither of them hold a candle to Phil Hendrie. Phil is a genius, and would be insulted by that comment.
Young and Elder are simply riding the rocket that is Kix. Good for them. Enjoy it while you got it. Tell them we all said hello...and you missed a spot.

Or maybe KIX is riding the rocket that is Young & Elder.
To answer the previous post, Elder (Brian) runs the board and does all the character voices save "Paul Harvey." No producer. No outside writer.

>KIX 106 is hardly riding a Young & Elder rocket, pleeze! The station has been dominant in the market since 1983 when it took down WMC 79. Then in the mid-80's with Andy & Debbie, who eventually wore out their welcome and cost too much money. Remember this is Y&E's second time around at KIX.
There is no competitor in the market. If there was, it would be a whole different post here about who is doing what to whom.
Young and Elder are talented, but when they left the first time, the lights didn't go out and the earth did not shake in the building. The money kept coming in, to the point where Al Kaneb got 100 million for the cluster. Have they made the interest payment yet?

KIX has done well, but you have to go back to 1991 and the country boom to find comparable numbers, and a HUGE part of the recent success is Young & Elder. And yes, this is their second time around in Memphis, and most around the Citadel digs will tell you, it was a big mistake letting them go the first time.
Sure, it helps being the only country station in town, but if someone wants to go after Young & Elder's numbers, they'd better have deep pockets. An "Andy & Debbie" kind of competitor wouldn't make a dent.

Since the majority of us aren't able to see the demo breakdowns, that would be an opinion, not a fact. Unless you're one of the few?

Not the way I heard it. Expressing disdain, on the air, for your primary listener base doesn't exactly draw in the smiling faces and engender their devotion. However, I also hear that the gentlemen in question were said to have learned from their previous mistakes, which is always a good thing.
> Sure, it helps being the only country station in town,
"Sure, it helps"??

A country competitor which made itself more family-friendly, and more open to the good "old" stuff, than KIX would be successful. Such a station, having a comparable signal pattern to KIX, would dethrone it. From everything I've seen on the subject, the largest obstacle the Frog had was lack of reach; double its signal strength to compare with KIX's, and it's a new game.

What did you hear? What did they do? I became aware of them in Eugene, Or. They were the syndicated morning show on our competition. I always thought they left KIX to go syndicated. What's the real story? Why did they leave the national show to come back? Why would a station who fired them have them back if what they did was worthy of dismissal?

I'm not one to rehash, nor one to wish ill on fellow members of the broadcating industry. If memory serves, the long and the short was that when Y & E first came to Memphis, and to Country radio from a Rock background (gotta capitalize those formats, don't you know!), they weren't too full of compliments for the grass-roots listeners. Failing to demonstrate a lot of respect for the people you hope will tune in your show day in and day out is never a good thing.
Whether the syndication came before their departure, or the departure came before their syndication, really doesn't matter. Neither does the reasons behind their departure from syndication; I doubt anyone here has the full skinny other than Jay and Brian, and I know I don't. What I was trying to get across, perhaps less successfully than I'd thought, was that I hope they've learned from their past mistakes, as we all should.
If they do well, wonderful for them--but while I wish them the best, I'm under no illusions that they're invincible (or that their station is), as has been suggested elsewhere. Much of the show's, and the station's, success depends on it being the only Country game in town--and the only Country station with a 100KW signal.
And as to their rehiring, I believe the management now isn't the same as the management during their first go-round, but I'm not certain.

actually, If I remember correctly...
they were let go just as I came to Froggy. They landed at a Rock station in Kansas City for between 1 and 2 years. They wound up in syndication from there. I don't recall if they quit the rock station or if their contract was not renwed.
not that it matters much, but i hope that was some help.

Sounds about right on the timeline, brother Bill. I don't remember what I had for breakfast this morning, so trying to remember events so far in the past is a strain on the brain.
