We've been JACK ed, now what?

WYOK switched formats to a 102.1 style format.
What will this do to the other area stations here in Pensacola/Fort Walton (as the signal can be heard loud and clear)

and yes, there is a thread about this in the alabama forum too. The station did stunting as well as airing TV theme songs.
I still think this is a bad idea done by Crumbulus. We need an FM talker BAD here in the gulf coast.

research says listeners just want music without the DJ chatter.. Then again research is wrong!

We depend on music for content, but it seems like stations are playing the same music..
And our free content is everyplace now. God help us when the internet flies through air everyplace and is cheap or free.
 
funny, id listen for the personalities. I'm wondering what WYCL and others will do now?
 
Rob --- after a week of being on da beach (and not being allowed to listen to radio and scan
every quarter second OR get to head toward PCB with cases of Stella for Charlie per the boss)
I was allowed to listen in stages. Rob, yir right. It's gotten pretty amazingly bad. It sounds like a bunch
of old time ma & pa stations, with the exception of TWO. Both of which are ma & pa stations: WAAZ
and The Seabreeze. WAAZ sounded just like Jimmy would program it. Refreshing to hear real
radio (although I am not a fan of C & W) I have to give it to JW for doin' his thing. Mark at
Seabreeze just sticks to his program, and it doesn't really waiver much. Sounded very professional
as always. Bet he's billing more than 92.1, 93.3, 96.5, 98.1, 99.5, 100.3, 102.1, 103.1 and 105.5
combined at this point. Alabama radio on the way home was horrific. Sorry to say, but I did get to
hear a bunch of songs that should never have been played when they were current being played today.
Wow. Since I don't get to drive long distances much anymore (vs. flying), I don't get to listen to local
radio much. Sad to say, I shake my head trying to forget, but wish to thank AL for still loving the
Bee Gees, Donna Summer and Stephanie Mills.

I see why car satellite radio will be mandatory from here on out. I guess I am getting old, but
radio is not radio anymore in NW FL. I didn't listen to much PCB radio, CW, a few minutes of
Island and PFM were all I could take. I was surprised by the variety of Sunny 98.5. Yep, tragically
it was 101.1 for me as much as I got to listen. Biggest fiasco's: 102.1 & 103.1 --- what are
they trying to be and why? Z-96 was more Hot AC than I expected. Is Fly doing it to them?


A lot has changed in three or four years --- less enthusiastic sounding radio. I am sure the
tight nature of advertising has much to do with it, plus a station on 95% of the frequencies.

Somethings don't change though --- RNR: I survived Spring Break 2009 without being attacked
by scantily women again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How do I manage that? The beaches were, uh,
up to the usual standards.
 
I wish there were a lot more stations like 104.7 WAAZ. They are the only station I know of that is 100% live, and still signs off at Midnight. It's even more of a rarity to find a 100kw station like that, that still simulcasts with It's AM counterpart. I wish they had a website, and a listen live link.

Maybe the station will continue this tradition, because almost no one else is.

Someone (in the industry) posted a few months back that WAAZ and WJSB would be ending their simulcast and WJSB would debut a new format. Anyone have an update?

from what i've heard 104.7 is manned right?
hence why they sign off at midnight.

the EZ listening music they play on sun would sound amazing if they broadcast in TRUE stereo.
(im a huge vinyl fan)

Rough first quarter, everywhere--but those stations already stripped of human input sound especially "less enthusiastic."

But I'm shocked to hear that the scantily clads were "less enthusiastic," too! Gotta remember how to turn on that old Great 108 Super Jock charm! Then again, that's the first thing to go, isn't it? Well, the second thing...

Maybe a couple of cases of Old Milwaukee would have helped!
