What Happened To The Zeeeeeeeeee?

With most of the crew off to greener pastures, it seems Z-97 is all over the road. DJ Vince, Jackie are gone. The girl in the morning sounds like she's in a panic most of the time, the night guy needs some caffeine. New guy in the afternoons sounds like he's eating peanut butter while he is speaking. The music sounds like JJR sometimes, Cat Country at other times. And how many times do we really need to hear the same current songs each day?

It appears that the once mighty is now the farm team. I guess team Pamel is more interested in their other projects.

The Z is off my presets.

:(
 
I prefer the thin crust.....and like Rocket, I prefer the Z "Pre-Pamal" ...I remember when they used to do promotions. I know Camp Pamal finds it hard to believe that radio stations are supposed to do promotions, but at one time, Z97, led the way. Just look at where the Z is now, and where it once was..Sad, ain't it? No Killington remotes, no Wall of Fame, no School Bites, no prizes, no fun, no station, no staff, no van, no more, no mas!!! Please suit in Albany, does us all a favor here in VT, and blow the damn thing up already!! Well, back to work for me ding dong...yay, my pizza is here, sorry rest of my P-Crew, I couldn't wait til I saw you all again...Get off the railing too!!
 
i havent understood more then 2 words the new afternoon guy has said yet

maybe pamal's just making z suck to make 105 number one
 
Or perhaps the afternoon guy has a fettish for marshmallows? Hence...his marshmallow mouth delivery? :p

Well well well...another former employee uspset about the mess sh...I mean..that person left..and a couple other disgruntled employees complaining that Z was better before? Do mean to tell us that Z was on the right path before with the Hot AC like playlist. Z-97 should be CHR right? not someting a little fresher than WJJR. I think you are a little too proud of what you left behind. Yes Z was #1 in the Upper Valley, but dropped a half point while Jackie was there. Isn't that a failure? Maybe something new and fresh will bring Z-97 back. Not some old person deciding what the Z-97 deciding what the younger crowd wants to hear. Stop whining! Go back to work! Lay off the pizza, it will go to your hips!

Besides, what do you have agains peanut butter?
 
I remember the what the Z used to sound like in the early 90s. Their PD, at the time came, from Hartford and really put some pizzazz into it. They were out all the time, the presentation was very energetic and tight, and it was unusual to hear such a good station outside of the Burlington market. My, how times and ownership have changed things.

No offense, but most of the stations outside of Burlington (Barre, St J, Rutland, Lebanaon, NH) sound VERY bad. Very little talent and bad programming.

Good luck with it, treat it well and welcome to Vermont!!

Thanks for the opportunity to finally post -- calling a woman old and fat usually will get a response. ;)

JDonovan,

Thanks for the welcome, though I'm not sure who you think I am. I just don't think its fair to criticize without taking a hard look at previous results. Z-97 has been a mess for a long time. I would even say before it changed to Kiss. Long-time lack of vision, if you ask me. Trust me though, the Z WILL be back! Farm team? Rookies maybe, definately better than the has beens waiting on retirement, too old to see the ball as it crosses the plate! At least young ones take a swing at it.

Yes! Pamal is a good company! And I didn't say you were fat.

PS. Don't text while driving in NY. Its illegal. Back to work for me!
 
I am the only guy here who thinks somebody is too big for his britches? uh er pull ups? Phantom, you talk a tough game and I understand you can't even drink legally yet. Learn from the ones YOU think are ready for retirement. So far you've bashed Ed Kelly, John Lawrence, Judy Anderson, Jackie Donovan, Mandy, Frank and probably a few others. Look around your "house", most of them are still there and doing quite well. It's not a good idea to roll into town with an attitude like that, you'll end up rolling out just as fast. Pay attention to your playlist, Edwin McCain ain't "fresh" or a hot CHR tune.

Now stay off the 'puter, it'll blind ya!
 
Let's please make it clear:

I appreciate the discussion on Z97. While I disagree with some statements that have been made, I respect your opinions. I'm keeping my nose clean and always will, while dealing with things in a first class manner - not insulting anyone, and respect the station's storied past.

This is the final statement that I will make on this topic. I prefer to talk with a microphone, instead of a keyboard. Thanks for listening.

Respectfully,

Rivers
 
Your statements above were NOT respectful of the people that all had a hand in the station good or bad including your current bosses. Calling your predecessors old and ready for retirement is not a compliment, it's an immature insult tossed by someone who doesn't have the tenure to back it up.

Remember it's a small community, it's good to be agressive and excited, just don't lose yourself in the hype, we are all replaceable.
 
"Rocket",

Not sure who you think I am, but I do believe you owe an apolgy to some who has recently posted. You say "predecessor" like in such a personal way it makes me wonder. I don't understand the ire in your posts. Perhaps the ship is not "righted" the way you thought? Perhaps NOW someone has come into the fold with a vision of the once mighty Z-97 should be TODAY?

Ed McCain seemed to work before...suddenly not now?

I am not he, he is not I, we are not one...soon we will be: Z-97-1!

Love...the Phantom ;)
 
You've made it clear, you're an idiot. We will watch from the "center".

Oh, and if you look at the previous post I made, I said "predecessors" plural. Stop playing detective and start playing PD, so far, we are not impressed.

Out
 
i think musicwise they suck but is it a coicidence that i understood everything he said today. but the show us your shamrock party idea gotta be the gayest thing i ever heard
 
Hey, it is simple math. They are led to the beat of a great OM in Rutland..NUFF SAID :-* The spring book is coming and soon the BLUEJAYS will be around (pardon my SYMBOLism). You are all just jealous of what you could have been apart of :'( I'm surprised we have not heard from kracko on this one ??? What's wrong Jo Jo CAT Country got ya tongue ??? :-* :-* :-*
