WEBE 108 Mornings vs Star 999

Do they really do traffic and weather together after EVERY song?

Star is now doing the MOST music mornings? Anybody checking it out today?
 
I listened for the first few breaks.
Star opened up at 5 am with Mike McGowan doing a legal ID into a "99 second news update:"
HARDLY news...3 headlines then traffic then weather.
Next break McGowan reads a Most Music in the Morning liner amd Marit says the time.
I think next was weather and traffic. I couldn't take any more of the liner / un prepped nonsense.
I have to say that it doesn't make sense to move your pm drive jock into am drive for liners and 9 traffic reports an hour and only 3 topical breaks (tho I hear those 3 breaks are to be 90 seconds or less) and 10 songs an hour. I say run Deliah from 7 pm till 10 am and just insert the 9 traffic breaks and call it a day.
 
I try not to be critical of radio stations, however!

Star 99.9 needs to get rid of that long boring "voted number 1..." liner.

We don't care!!!

Star sound canned and phony.

The station has been a train wreck since they fired long-time morning man Jon Harper.

WEBE and WICC have consistency in the morning. Star does not.
 
I agree 100%!!

Since John Harper was canned, Star's numbers have gone way down.

Overall, Star voicetracks way too much while WEBE has live talent most of the time with the exception of evenings and overnights.

There need to be some changes at Star soon if they want to get back into the game.

99.9 hasn't sounded good since the other Bill Buchner left back in 1989. Station is wall to wall tunes and no personalities. They need a format change. ASAP! ::) :eek:
