Why not replay the Regular Guys in the afternoon?

If they are the garnering the best ratings on the station why not replay the whole show starting at 3pm? Many RG's listeners also enjoy Rude, 790, and 750 in the morning... You could own afternoons with the replay and try something way different. And I'm guessing if would pull in better ratings than what they are doing in PMD right now.

I would listen.
 
I can assume that the Regular Guys have a contract. There usually specific hours of duty, pay rates, benefits, appearance fees for remotes in the contract. Rock 100 might not have the right to air the show out of its contracted time slot with out paying extra.

Yeah... and I know that, but, the money will come if it works... and with their ratings taking a dump lately, they might want to think forward here. No one else is replaying morning shows in Atlanta. The ratings in PMD stink. Why not try it? With PPM they could get instant feedback on how well it's doing.

I don't get up that early anymore... (Thank God)... and with XmSirius, I can listen to the Howard replay, and the Opie And Anthony replay in the afternoon. It's great.

I hate using this saying but... THINK OUT OF THE TERRESTRIAL BOX BOYS!

I'm not sure that would really work. Afternoon drive is a totally different beast.

I miss the Kimmer.

Is it... really? People work all day, then sit in traffic on their way home, wouldn't want to listen to something entertaining in lieu of the same ol classic rock tracks they've heard a million times?

Sure, but not a replay of a morning show. Your afternoon show with SSSteve was heavy on music, but still a pretty good mix of tunes and laughs along with the traffic. Afternoons are just a different vibe.

Would having TRG on in PM drive cause a decrease in audience for the morning show? Only one way to find out.

Thanks Dash! Problem is they don't have the funds to pay for afternoon talent anymore. I'm sure Matt is a nice guy but he's not making much I promise. And no offense Matt, but I don't rush to change the station to 100.5 when you're on.

Again, I bring this up cause I listen to O&A in the morning and then look forward to the REPLAY in the afternoon to hear something I missed OR something I enjoyed over again.
