WKMX hasn't served E-prise since Styles bought it.
The people left here of the 8th floor don't have their "hearts in the right place."
Dan will come up with the plan to make everyone part time. Saves money and boosts ratings! lol

Have to Agree about SOME of the information!!! However, I do believe that since Styles became Magic that cluster has sunk!!! You do have some jocks wanting it to be what it was and obviously trying to do what they have to do to make it just that!

But you can't blame them much for the fallof that place! Look at the GM, you can't have people of his demeanor trying to do "good" things. He dosen't know what that is! Those people do need watch out...let's not play follow the leader...

Styles did have that place booming...you have a strange and corrupted mind running that place!!!!
 
Whooa. The Styles management style was where the great scab began to form.
Styles was a broker outfit. Not a programming outfit. There are no programmers
in that building. None. There are however a bunch of wannabes who'll do, try,
say anything to get noticed or attention. Even shameless weisels who think they're making progress by proping themselves up on the coffins of 8 dead
students.

NOTHING YOU CAN DO OR SAY WILL EVER JUSTIFY HOW YOU'RE CONDUCTING YOURSELVES ON THE AIR AT WTVY OR WKMX.

It's a prank waiting to happen!

A prank will probably NOT happen unless someone slips up. They have installed a delay box (7 or 8 seconds)
that allows them to dump content before it gets on the air.
 
Have to agree with download, don't know who stupidginny is but I don't think that I want to know either. As far as the comment made about "not slamming until you know the business", many of the individuals questioning the questioning the after storm motives and antics are true proffessionals and whether I agree or not I thank them for their input.

It is nice to see some emotion on the board again, gives us something to do during the commercial breaks of March Madness.

alot of [EDIT] for woof and djr, none of you have any idea how to do real radio, insted of bashing tvy-kmx out of envey, learn somthing out of it, i listened on line to kmx, it was good, i didnt hear mis info, i listened to listeners, school kids talk, heal, and try to move on, i listened to a station conect with their city,i do not agree with selling it, but sales people will do it, as you say classy, i think not! cowards woof and djr are, sitting back doing nothing is as bad as making money off it, i don't falt the kmx crew, they came after the move, i do falt the old owners for pulling them out, i never at any point anything on kmx saying, we did it we are great, NEVER!!!! oh by the way 106 point 7 WKMX ENTERPRISE is the legal! the rest of you, learn how to do radio before slamming stations, you look foolish doing it! i don't know about tvy and amys motives but some of the people at wkmx, hearts are in the right place. to me that makes a great station.
any response to this is now redundent, djr and woof move on with your petty self,and stop crying.
[EDIT-vulgar]
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Stupidginny I mean Kelly, Your right I did learn something out of it I have learned that if I ever do get back into radio instead of public relations that to at least get a map out know the area and know how to pronounce towns fluently before making my self and the station I work for look stupid. For example Clio is not pronunced Cle'o on the air. Also It's pretty sad when you have to have a listener tell you live on the air where the press conference is going to be and how to get to the service center.But yet all of a sudden you claim Enterprise is "your city" and you don't even know where things are in Enterprise? Come on KMX abaonded Enterprise a few years back and Enterprise only has one station now in it and that is WVVL (which sounds great by the way) .
You say you didn't hear any miss info on KMX that day? Well you must have not been listening hard enough having listeners call in the information was full of "Miss info" I know for a fact one of the mis-leading things that was said on KMX is that there was 20 dead 150 injured which we all know was wrong but the KMX crew decided to air that and it did what ? Cause panic and speculation.
After the storm hit that afternoon I bounced back and fourth between DJR and WOOF they had great coverage I never once heard either one of them say that they were did people at the school because they knew it was not right to air such a thing like that at that time because there might be parents listening.
I was very impressed with WOOF they had a news person there that afternoon shortly after it had hit reporting the facts not the speculation then by that evening they had a 2nd news person in Enterprise with John Daniels back at the station covering everything flawless. DJR also got the information out there and got it right.
DJR and WOOF are not being Cowards and not doing nothing as you put it. They have chosen to take the professional route and do thier work for Enterprise quietly by not saying on the air oh look at us we are raising money and we are the official station for the Disaster recovery efforts. Another example Make your donations to the WKMX/Reagions Bank Disaster recovery fund. Which is for what reason class? SELF GLORIFICATION I can just about bet that when the $ 100,000 is raised through your fund that you are talking about you will be making a promo that will run every 30 mins saying KMX / Regions Bank raised over $100,00 to help for the disaster recovery efforts in Enterprise etc. etc.
I have yet to hear DJR Or WOOF set up a fund at a bank for that all they have been telling thier listeners to do is make the checks to the red cross or the City of Enterprise disaster relief fund. There again they took the classy approach to it by not attaching thier name to any of it.
Not all Sales People would try to come up with something to make money off of information that should be passed on to your listeners for free! It's just your stations that are doing that which is wrong and heartless.
We can see in this market according to the numbers who knows how to do real radio and it's not TVY and KMX. When KMX gets thier numbers above a 7.8 overall and up to the 14+ and above that DJR and WOOF has then you can say you know how to do real radio.
You would have thought that you would have learned that the "Look At Me" Look at Me" approach that Amie Pollard took during the fall book just doesn't work. But yet you and her still think it does for some reason ? Now go pull the numbers out again and look at what works.
 
I get the feeling that I'm sitting in church! AMEN! AMEN AMEN! Downloader, Stewy, and Peanutcapitol! They have professionalism and make sense, which is unsusal in this market!
I have been quiet about this subject but I don't think I can keep my mouth shut anymore...

1) I admit, as much as I don't want to, I did listen to KMX not for info but for laughs! As I flipping the dial around I got stuck on KMX. I felt the embarassment for the people on the air. They couldn't get a thing right if it hit them in the face! I should intorduce them to my good friend Rand McNally!

2) Yes radio is emoition! A little tug here and there on people heart strings are one thing, but going wall to wall pulling on heart strings is quite another. I got tired of hearing callers and jocks saying the same thing over and over and over (Wasn't there a song about that?) Play a few calls, give some info and play music. People want things to return to normal as soon as possible.

3) Whoever came up with the "magical" idea to sell info needs to shown the door, as with the person who approved the plan, the people with no morals who sold it, and shame on you if you bought it.

4) Of course KMX isn't going to say I deserve a pat on the back, that would be stupid. So they confuse people and set up a fund to pat themselves on the back and promote it. Once again class would say donate to the Red Cross or The E-prise disater relief fund.

5) The correct legal ID for KMX is....106.7 WKMX Enterprise-Dothan...they are dual licensed and I believe must mention both cities.

This is just a old radio person talking, remembering the good ole days of carts and CD's...just my 2 cents.
 
Kudos to you whistler when you say "But you can't blame them much for the fallof that place! Look at the GM, you can't have people of his demeanor trying to do "good" things. He dosen't know what that is! Those people do need watch out...let's not play follow the leader...". This is LA, Lower Alabama and the people here are still "good ole boys". We want the truth in a timely manner and then as pnut rox says, we want "things to return to normal as soon as possible." We believe in helping our neighbors without asking for anything in return, it's just what you do. To have the magicl mystery tour going around and "helping" folks in order to make themselves look good, shame on you. Professionalism, yea, it should be a southern thing and was until the yankee invasion into the magical mystery tour. Roc on pnut!!!

Even though they have a delay box they don't even use it because they can't shut up long enough on the air. Is it that they are just not smart enough to know how to take a call off the air and edit it down? Or is it that they are just to Lazy to do it?
On that Thursday after the storm hit they were not even telling the listeners they we live on the air which is illegal,then by Thursday night they finally got thier act together and started telling the listeners that they were live on the air after they realized they were screwing up. But yet they know real radio ?

Yeah, and this is something that their GM and SM will never understand!

I believe the SM is a southern man. A stupid one, but southern none the less. It is a shame that Magic had to profit off someone elses pain.

You know motivator....it is questionable if they did profit.
Friends in Enterprise spoke of resentment.
 
I don't blame them for the resentment. KMX abandoned them, then tried to profit not only financially but with ratings as well, from their pain and suffering. Shame on Magic! Now that there is another power shift underway maybe some good magic will blow into town.
 
A larger bunch of pathetic losers I have never run across. Guess what, 75% of the people who work radio in this market should really consider a top flight job in the traveling carnival industry….no account, lying, can’t pay your electric bill losers. You would really be best served running the tilt-a-whirl or guessing fat chicks weight and age on the midway. I can’t even believe that grown working professionals take the time to go on and on like this. And you know what? IT NEVER ENDS! Look around there future “pony-ride-operator-guy”, check out some other state/area posts next “selling-cottoncandy-girl” you will not find that kind venom ANYWHERE else but here in the good old wiregrass. Just give it a rest or maybe go home and beat your face against the mirror until you feel better. Are your life’s really so meaningless that all you do all day is wait around for another opportunity to boil up another hateful tirade? I’ll tell you what, when they change the code to get in the building and you’re the last one to know about it give me a call I think my grass needs mowing I’ll hook you up until the carnival gets to town….
 
What's so sad superfan is that you are right, well sort of...............75% of the people doing radio here should find something else to do, carnie would be a good position for most of them. The 25% that really give a darn don't get the chance to stand up and really do something about it because of the majority that are in it for themselves. you can change the code on all the buildings but before you do, let some of the idiots off of the 8th floor, they should be good at grass mowing. If they would tell the truth and not always try to hide behind their lies there would not be such venom as you speak of. I keep coming back hoping to see that something positive is on the horizon but so far, nothing..............but then, that's entertainment, gotta have something other than the pig driving the mustang down Foster st.
 
I have to chime in on these statements and I hate to say I agree.

I've done radio in a number of markets and can tell you that Dothan is a terrible place.

For the most part, they are mean and cruel.

However, there are some good people: WOOF and Mike Holderfield over at WVVL. Honest, loyal, hard working broadcasters.

But, if you look across the boards, you won't see the venom you do with regard to the Wiregrass. It's really a shame.

Does it pay better than Magic?
