Will CC Make The Move?

[Summers]

Indeed another sad day.
Thank god I remember back in the day when radio was competitive.
It's too bad to see that the collapse of radio continues with the dollar proving greater than the programming.

WKY needed 5 years to start doing damage and they were on their way.
KOKC is awful, KTOK is weak in areas specifically in the afternoons.
WKY's pulse on the street was good, people started talking about them
And Ron Black was doing well in his two year radio career.

If KTOK doesn't make an attempt to hire Ron Black I'll be surprised.

"Talk about people in management that are totally out of touch"

I recently had lunch with an Unnamed individual who works close with the state and capital who told me that most everyone he knew listened to WKY because they talked about the local issues more so than anyone else on the dial.
This was from someone really close to the picture of politics and government and people who are sitting on huge amounts of old money.
And now to see another idiotic move like this in this market only proves that radio here is truly out of touch with it's audience.

This reminds me of the time when KOFM switched to Magic and it ended up
that KOFM had the highest ratings in the next book but it was too late.
Although today you can't argue with Magic's success, they've proved
Consistency with females 25-54 and are great at what they do.
Keeping consistency. History shows that Oklahomans like consistency
and over time they grow to listen more often.

The only losers here were the listening audience.
Greediness wins over patience.

Pass the Burrito

WKY Is Gone-XM Radio is Alive

While there is nothing positive to say about friends being fired in this business, there is a oxy moronic side to this format change that I find
quite amusing.

While local radio decision makers continue to pull ridiculous moves
of the likes of WKY, I have to laugh when I see GM's cringe when you
bring up XM OR Sirius Radio. They absolutely balk at it.

What makes this move priceless is knowing the "The Phil Henry Show" is
live from 6 to 9pm on XM Satellite Radio Channel 152.

Thanks Bastida for another great reason to listen to XM Radio.

Even more ironic is just last week Phil said on the air how
stupid it was that he was on and off the air in Tulsa and went further
by saying how great it was to be on in Oklahoma City. L M A O!

Don't have any clue who you are, but I appreciate the kind words. Don't know that I agree with your premise, but thanks nonetheless.
