Winston-Salem sucks??? Winston-Salem is a great city! Interesting, progressive, diverse, great bars, great street festivals, the arts, theatre, great restaurants, new ball park, revitalizing of downtown, Kermits hotdogs, Sweet Potatoes, Foothills Brewery, on and on. What does it not have that YOU like? Or, have you not really spent any time there to know? And, I would argue that WSJS is probably the best AM radio station in the area. Just because the big Corps decided to locate in the middle of the Triad near the airport so their legions of salespeople would have access to all cities doesn't diminish Winston-Salem in any way. You'll need to explain your stance on that so we can understand just why you think WS sucks. Very odd comment.

Wait...the Grease's real name is Doug??? How did you know that? Are you him? Are you guys best buds? We all want to know now.

I knew that his name was Doug and I've never even heard the man's show. It's been thrown out many times in Allaccess news reports and such.

;D ;D Sure has! But, Gainesville'S CLOSE and it "Rocks" with all the college wahine's!
 
;D OK, So you blew the cover . Doug Tracht Aka "Greaseman" has authored a book under the pseudonym that is his radio character, Nino "The Greaseman" Mannelli. The book is titled "And They Ask Me Why I Drink" (ISBN 0-671-55160-4
 
Sorry I got into this...can we get back to the cot jam topic?? We are sooo off. If I was a mod here, all of us would be banned for 5 days. Please stay on topic: 104's morning show or the thing that is on where it should be. Please direct all Doug Tracht posts to either DC or Jacksonville boards. Thanks a million! :p :eek: ;D :)
 
sniff, thanks for bringing us back on topic....

It ain't gonna be Roper. He just landed at Gator Country/Myrtle Beach for mornings/PD.

It ain't gonna be anybody.....It's Angie and Elosie...the new dynamic duo.
 
;D Hmmmm! APE and ANGIE Sounds Good!!!
 
Sounds almost as good as the "Cats in Heat and Slipping Fan Belt" show...
 
No one wants to work for Clear Channel no matter how sweet the deal anymore because you never know what's going to happen. Think about this:

You have a wife and 2 kids. You're out of a job. You hear about a job at the biggest employer in town. You know they pay well but you know for a fact that the job is not guaranteed from day to day. Would you still take it? Given this economy if you were in dire need of money, you might. But consider the scenario without today's economic conditions. Would you take the job? Probably not.

Now, not all factors in the scenario apply to Clear Channel (ie: biggest employer, pay well), but you catch my drift. Same goes for CBS, Cumulus, Citadel - I mean, look at what CBS just did in Charlotte. They let the ENTIRE airstaff go at K104.7. They said it was budget cuts and part was probably just that. But part of me says there's more to the story. They're discussing it on the Charlotte board.

To sum it all up - the big radio companies are running off the great jocks of the day. All they have left are Elvis Duran, Ryan Seacrest, Kidd Kraddick, etc.




bird!
 
Wouldn't you expect a new morning show at a station like WTQR to have a contract? Of, course, I had a contract at WSJS. Nevermind!

Come on, TQR apologists, the fall book has started and that new coat of paint was NOT applied. Did Jeff Roper want too much $$$ or what?



I guess not!!!

Dittohead1 wins!!
 
Am I to read into this that it's Jeff Roper who's coming to TQR? Didn't he go to Myrtle Beach? Or not?
 
(of course I also said that it would be Rick & Bubba, but that was only because of the Myrtle Beach head fake; I give myself full credit)

WOW! I guess the stuff you read on these boards isn't complete BS after all, huh?
