WCOD/Cape Cod

I wonder if anyone will take you up on your offer steve ;) ...if they do, record the call so we can all listen
 
Gee...did I "call it" or what? Over a month ago on this site I said that WCOD's management would blame somebody or something else for WCOD's demise in listenership because WCOD's managers NEVER take the blame for their own ignorance. So what was the second thought out of the OM's head on this thread?

"Boch Broadcasting didn't have to contend with FRANK-FM....." Blah, blah, blah...whaa, whaa, whaa, snivel, snivel, snivel.....

Answer me this. WCOD, WQRC, and FRANK are all pretty much going after the same demo, correct?? Then why did WQRC's listenership INCREASE with FRANK as their competition?? Why did WQRC's listenership THRIVE with FRANK around but WCOD tanked?? Why didn't WCOD gain in listenership like WQRC did?? Is it because WQRC's management has a clue and WCOD's doesn't??

As for canabalizing the female demo between WRZE and WCOD...

There's no reason why both the CHR station and the Hot AC station couldn't remain seperate, yet strong in their respective demos. The reason why WRZE and WCOD didn't pull this off is because of poor management. WCOD's owners don't have an OM who has the knowledge on how to deal with a CHR and Hot AC in the same cluster. Hell, they don't even have a manager who has experience in programming just a Hot AC format. The smart move would have been to hire a PD with Hot AC experience for WCOD. But what did the OM do instead?? He hired his FRIEND with ZERO HOT AC EXPERIENCE to program a HOT AC FORMAT!! It's just one poor decision after another from that company. The amount of incompetence in that radio company is amazing in it's width and depth.
 
Here you go again. I think we're all well aware that you're frustrated Juice man. Sometimes when you tweak formats, even slightly, things don't always work out. That is bound to happen to any station at some point...it wouldn't be the first time it has happened on Cape Cod in recent history. Why don't you answer us this question? What does all of this have to do with you? Obviously nothing, otherwise I would assume that you'd address your issues with management face to face in a professional manner instead of blatantly insulting the company, its management and staff members on this board. Addressing your issues in person would also, I think, be a lot more effective. Otherwise people are just going to take what you say with a grain of salt.

People who start posts for the sake of pissing other people off ought to be banned permanently. It ruins things for the rest of us who use this site to read up on info regarding format/ownership changes, and other relevant topics related to the industry itself. To me, this thread isn't relevant at all. It’s a mushroom cloud of speculation, finger pointing, personal attacks, and nonsense childish bickering about some changes that took place over a year ago. Steve did the right thing by apologizing for what he said; it shows what kind of person he really is. As for you NoopJuice, you've pressed forward with your negative attitude and nonsense without taking into consideration that sometimes things don't always go as planned. Sure, maybe COD hit a slump...it happens. I'm not in any position to declare why it happened, but I'm willing to bet that it will turn around. I'd hate to see what would happen if you were an OM or PD and one of your stations slipped a bit...you'd probably go into cardiac arrest.

"I think I'm havin' the big one Elizbeth...I'm comin' to see ya honey!!"

I mean, Christ, you're on the verge of a nervous breakdown just talking about WCOD!
