WFTK Predictions

M

Mr. E

Guest
I predict:

Immediate complaining about whatever format they choose.

Immediately followed by some clever changing of the word Cumulus to "clue-less" or "cume-less".

Finger waving of great consternation from the usual naysayers. Hi Bob!

One bold fellow will even predict that "this time next year" the old Pooper Talk will be (insert format).

He will probably be right.

Someone then will say how Clear Channel (or Cheap Channel/Yucky Channel) is worse.

Followed by "the changed WFTK will never beat (insert station here)."

Please, please, please have a "what were they thinking" take.

One board person will hope above all else that the trends are up on Monday so he will have the quiet satisfaction of knowing that his station made it all the way up to 19th before Cumulus blew it up.

Another board member will exhale that it is really gone and his sports station may get above a 2 share in 2008. He will then ironically look at a midget walk by his Kenwood office and think that "hey, I'm taller than him".

Midwestx will continue to hope that some devilish cairn terrier doesn't pull back the curtain from which he works behind.

Arbitorn will dust off his favorite "McConnell said" story about the 96.5 frequency for the 29th time. It will still be as fresh as the first day he told it.

The man will be keeping someone down in Cincinnati radio.

References to "corporate radio" will abound.

Someone will comment on how this is my first post.

John K will surf this board hoping for some content.

One of those eye rolling types will bring up how "I don't listen to terrestrial radio. I listen to the hi-fidelity of XM radio". Oddly, and much like a black fly in a Chardonnay or rain on your wedding day, his XM satellite is in an Edsel. See how I didn't want to come out and say ironic again? Instead, I used two lyrical references that really aren't ironic.

Someone will post that I think the previous post was too funny and I enjoyed it too much. He will then shake his cane at the paperboy for walking in his yard.

Some poor hard working schmucks at CC will lose their jobs tomorrow.

Somewhere in San Antonio and Atlanta, owners really won't care about Cincinnati.

Flame on dudes...and Godspeed 96.5!
 
Sorry, I forgot one of the top-3.

I predict that no matter what format goes on the air, you will see this "the 2 Angry Guys won't work on this (insert format)".
 
Finally, someone with a sense of humor.
EXCELLENT POST!
Reminds me why I view these boards on a daily basis - to see what's going on and have along the process.
The negative - "doom & gloom" is tiresome (so is someone recieving a distant station for 2 hours - who care's?)
For God's sake, it's RADIO - change happens - opinions/observations/predictions are great and welcomed - just don't take it all so seriously.
In the end the stations & owners are going to do what they want - right, wrong or whatever.
Just enjoy the show!

Well: 1) Someone has to answer the phone, 2) Someone needs to run the board.
 
Mr. E, not sure if your post makes me want to check these boards more often...or never visit them again.

Hopefully the latter
 
Great call Mr. Pall!

"Angst in My Pants" was a great title for that album! Even better cover.

You're gonna eat a bowl of chow mien and be hungry real soon (I predict).
