Winds of Change

S

SkilletFaceSam

A little fairy came to me and told me a change is in the air for the stagnant New Orleans radio market. All stations will be cut off the air while major changes take place. Dinosaurs; lame, uneducated PD's; back-stabbers; etc. will be ejected from all AM's and FM's that are run by out-of-town blowhards. If that happens in your area of town, and it probably will, then this means is "your station sucks" and it's time for a clean sweep...!

B97 will be the first with their change.... to 97-1 The Point.

Kid Krack-looser in the morning will be the first to be given the axe, followed by that terrible three-ring circus they call the afternoon Swirl. 2 minutes of that mess this afternoon and my ears were bleeding. Then there will be no human DJs on 97-1 the Point, only seals trained to bark song titles in morse code. Also, the promotions staff will be replaced by a single robotic finch and the current sales staff will get the axe and be replaced with skilled archers that speak the proper King's English. Expect the first Seal Jocks (or "SJs") to make their debut before the fall book. :eek: ::) :D ;D
 
Hahahaha!!!!! Seals? Finches? Morse Code? :p ::) This ain't cave man days!

LOL You must've been sleeping in Fred Flintstone's bed when you had that dream, Sam! Hilarious, though! ;D

So if B-97 flips formats or whatever you're "hinting" at, you're saying it'll be a Jack, AC, or Hot AC station?? I just don't see it happening since there's no other CHR alternative to switch to in the New Orleans metro. Plus, B-97 is the heritage CHR. When EZ Communications owned them, they flipped to Hot Talk (in late July '96) and Hot AC (about 10 months later) when they realized the switch'aroo was a BIG stupid mistake.

What about the others in town? Do you have predictions or have you had dreams about those yet?

Jeremy

BTW, are you from N.O.?
 
I have some predictions. Kenny Wilkinson will go an entire segment without one false start. Kare Johnson will take less than 15 minutes to give two scores. Bob Del G. will go an entire half hour without one sarcastic comment. 990 will actually have one interesting program. Bob Mitchell will have one topic that keeps more than one half his audience awake. And, finally, Vince Marinello will drop the soap in the big house and come up without his wig.
 
Re: Kaare Johnson

Y'all better cut Kaare Johnson some slack: For a extremely small guy, he's got a huge sized temper and if you get him pumped up, he turns green and into the Incredible Hulk.
Plus, Kaare always will have Eric "Slug" Asher in his corner.

Case in point son! That kinda programming would be a breath of fresh air compared to that mess they're trying to feed the younger people of N.O. It's a freak show catching up to WGSO! The PD, whoever it is, is a freakin' looza!

Agree! The flip to hot talk was the turning point for B97. Its never been the same since. And don't think they can recreate the fun, energy and excitement that used to be because the way radio has become. SO, if they don't get a new PD soon with the traditional values, then I see it going Jack in the next year or so.

As far as the others in town, we'll have to see. I'll need to do some more sleeping. lol And to answer your question, I am from New Orleans son! New Orleans East!
 
Has ALL NOLA radio been taken over by CC??? Sure seems that way, since Lady Katrina came and blew down TV and radio towers all over the dang place, leaving today as the "rebuilt" product. I miss WRNO-FM's AOR classic format. Bayou is an insulting robotic copy of anything once great......need other examples need mentioning????

Sad that monopolistic broadcast giants like CC turn a deaf ear to allowing LOCAL broacast PEOPLE add the right flavor between legendary AOR songs. Ok....ANY format, for that matter: automated and satellite radio pretty much sucks.

I'm left to ponder on why CC is allowed to do this; why haven't they gotten the message that radio listeners in ANY local area are repulsed by robotic automated radio programming?????
