WNCX

My guess is Slats might be stepping down/retiring. That would be a loss for the station as he stabilized the shift after going through one AM show after another post-Stern.
 
I reached out to Tim regarding the ZipRecruiter ad "Radio.... always ass backwards."
 
Speaking of WNCX, they just cut a staffer there:

Joe Czekaj shared on LinkedIn that he has exited as cluster afternoon traffic reporter and night/weekend host on Classic Rock 98.5 WNCX. He wrote, “I very much loved working for Audacy (WNCX, 92.3, Star 102, and Q 104) and after 7 years with them, I was informed today that my position has been eliminated. Thank you to all who tuned in and for the immense support over the years. I’m not sure where I’ll go from here.”

My sense is the company will come up with a national evening show for that slot. They already have a national show covering that shift at their country stations.

Audacy new traffic programming: Randomly calling cell numbers, hoping someone in a car answers so they can ask "What's the traffic like where you're at?" and hope they don't curse and hang up on them.
 
On thing I will say about WNCX is that they are the best, technically, sounding station in the market. Loud, strong signal. They also sound cleaner/clearer than their new music counterparts, even though WNCX plays songs recorded as far back as the 1970s and, sometimes, the 1960s. When I punch them up on the car radio, they have a bright sound. For these reasons, WNCX stands out.

Probably good sound processing, or someone there knows how to tune and EQ it.

Big problem with today's pop music is that it's very loud, and that causes the processing to brickwall the tar out of it, making it sound flat with boosted high frequencies. I've only come across a few examples where I enjoy a particular modern day song more on CD compared to on the radio. Vinyl, if available, would be even better, as the recording tends to be devoid of aggressive dynamic range compression due to limitations.

Can't remember the song or the band, but there was one example where a song was used on Guitar Hero lacked the DRC/processing that was used on the album, and many fans favored the Guitar Hero version because it was more natural sounding.
 
Many ears today are not as concerned with quality sound as the "Hi Fi" fans are. They usually only hear music in the car, on their ear buds or Alexa style speaker devices, all sound better than transistor pocket radios of yore but each has a different set of limitations. And radio is still more concerned with loud than quality.
That vinyl lp discs are still made says volumes, most literally, about sound quality today.

piss poor logic by today's "radio pros". Too many producers who don't know how to use L3 properly either.
