Wnjc to launch new online station

Brokered "local" Internet radio.

And I thought I had "heard" it all with HD Radio.
 
oaktree,

On a previous thread, When you suggested that radiofan2007 take a paid slot on Audio 18, weren't you, in essence, offering him brokered Internet Radio?
 
First, Audio 18 is NOT a brokered Internet station. It doesn't broadcast fulltime and most of its content (if not all) is not "pay for play." It was suggested that RadioFan2007 go to Audio 18 because it had been offered as a "possibility" for him to buy limited time for dollars to learn and develop. As George Brusstar said today on his site ... RadioFan2007 never approached them for the opportunity and the invitation was not extended. If it had been ... Audio 18 is not a "Brokered Station" but, in answer to your question, "yes" Mike would have, again, brokered his time ... and I blame no one for taking the money. He would have a hard job getting a gig as a board op, let alone a "personality," wouldn't you agree? I've heard of "national" pay-for-play Internet radio ... just never local pay-for-play brokered Internet radio ... especially that offered by a commercial radio station.

Mike is flitting from place to place looking for a place to land, it looks like, but no one, at this point, if sure of his real willingness, reliability, dependability or ability ... for that matter. Better this way with him having to put his money where his mouth is than just "give" him the airtime.

The other reason for suggesting Audio 18 is that at least there, an audience already exists for "the little Internet radio station," and those involved are already familiar with RadioStar2007 ... and he'll need their help and guidance. Whether jumping on "the next new thing" to come down the pike to brag about in new territory, especially for him, is something that I think is chancy, at best ... and totally unknown. Audio 18 has been doing this for sometime. The "next great idea" is something so new that he jumped right on it ... and that surprises me. I will be very curious as to his longevity and effort put into this new idea ... and his seriousness.

I still think that if the opportunity afforded itself and that Audio 18 wanted the money ... he should go there. (Plus, there are no fans of HD Radio over there...)

The other and final factor is that while I think Mr. Brusstar would like and welcome the money from a "professional" or a broadcaster with promise ... the difficulties RadioFan2007 has had both posting manic things here, undependable assumptions of making things happen and a general lack of direction for someone who wants to "play" radio don't fit Mr. Brusstar's liking with this particular case. I think that, ethically, and for his station's own reputation ... he'd rather take a pass on this particular "brokerism."

I do think it will be different with someone better proven ... and could be different with a sincere communication, a written contract and money ... up front.
 
For the record, I NEVER said Audio 18 was a brokered station. I simply said that by suggesting that radiofan2007 buy time from Audio 18, which you did on a previous post, you were suggesting brokered Internet radio. I said nothing to indicate that Audio 18 was a brokered station.
 
Not important.

I have no interest in entertaining a flame. Nothing said on or off the record was wrong. I just wish that RadioFan2007 would just stop chasing shiny object and just get on with it. For all this trouble in posting every time an opportunity comes around to broker air time anywhere ... we hear about it. Taking that time productively could be better spent in finding a real job in radio.

Finally, there's an old addage in this business, "Everything has a price." Whether it's WPHT, WNWR, Audio 18 or WLRO. Somebody's got to make some money. Might as well be ... WNJC pioneering local Internet radio, I guess. The fact, for the record (at least for now,) is that he has a brokered spot for two hours on a station destined to be a fulltime brokered radio station on a local level. I wonder how long this will last...
 
Once again I am confused so in closing I will listening to Radio Racket on audio 18 to hear the best internet show that i have heard in my life but the question is will they donate any of there 4 hours to review my New Years Eve hard work which there show is about radio so why not gentlemen?

Shouldn't WNJC put some money into the actual over-the-air presentation before they start another operation? Does this new station have new equipment at least? Oh my...
 
Nope it still has the same lousy things in the production room

A flame? Not from me, I don't know where you got that idea. Everyone here is not out to "get you." I just asked a question about what appeared to be an inconsistency in your posts. First, you suggest that this person buy time on the Internet from Audio 18 and then you stated that you were surprised to hear that someone (not Audio 18) was offering brokered time on a new Internet station.

Well, how would one guarantee things will come off with any reasonable fidelity, quality, or consistency? In other words, why would I buy this product, when I can construct something on-demand of a superior quality?
 
Mike, then what's so "beautiful" about "Studio B" if it's the same old stuff? And how long a deal you got in writing? And who came up with the "all brokered online station from inside a brokered AM radio station idea?"

And I apologize to Local Radio. It's just been a horribly bad day and I've vested way too much time in this career-altering move for RadioFan2007.
 
Oak no deal has been signed just have a verbal deal in place with Karen
 
I have some major announcements coming soon right here I have a female guest who worked in Tv and now lauching a internet Tv career. STAY TUNED
 
Mike, you said that this women is launching an "internet net TV career"? isn't that when people hook a web cam up in their bedroom and film themselves having relations, and then broadcast it on a pay-perview basis?
 
Mike,

You should read your first post. You said, definitely, that you would be "hosting a show Saturday night from 7-9." That sure sounds to me that you made a deal. If you haven't ... then why did you post it that way? Too much excitement ... or are you just flat out not telling the truth?

Are you or aren't you. "I'm hosting a show" vs. "It's only a verbal agreement" mean two different things. This is what people mean about credibility, Mike.
 
frankly who cares what i do except some of my supporters at the racket
 
No offense...is it ME boys and girls, but did ANYONE understand this whole thread? ??? I've re-read it 3 times, and I can't follow it due to sentences and ideas that make no sense, (or worse yet) arguing about something that perhaps 3 people care about. I was more entertained by this board when people were griping about whether OGL should play 50's or 80's music, or griping about me on the Jersey board, or wondering why there are 4 rock stations in town now due to the people meter, or remembering Wibbage and Famous 56, or wishing Sunny 104.5 and Eagle 106, and WIFI 92 would.....etc..
