Would Lost 45s wind up at WROR? Petition drive

Greater Media has been handed a silver platter with air talent cut loose from Oldies 103.3

105.7 is a stale boring station. My guess is that they stay a stale and boring station. Love that men from maine bit and the "townie songs"...... uggg
 
WROR is one of the stations that "Lost 45's" was on previously, before WODS. If I remember correctly, the show was on WROR immediately before WODS in its history.
 
The only way that show ends up on another Boston FM station is if Barry gets his own sponsors and buys the time. I don't see that happening.

Could'nt have been better said.
 
105.7 and some other outlets might pick up some of the ODS listeners.

Lost 45s has been on a bunch of diff stations: 92.9, poss. 93.7, 98.5, 100.7, 105.7, and of
course WODS (and tech. wasn't it originally The Gold Mine on WERS?)

105.7 may be stale and boring but it prob will pick up a bit in ratings--BUT not necessarily in
the best demo.

>>The only way that show ends up on another Boston FM station is if Barry gets his own sponsors and buys the time. I don't see that happening.

Could be true unless We-Rot-Old-Records takes a chance.

Not being in the broadcasting field, I can only imagine the difficulty in selling media product these days, brokered or otherwise. But even assuming a 100% sale of the program's inventory, I'm still in the dark on the costs. Any SWAG on three or four hours on a station like 105.7, on a Sunday night? Assuming that a major station would sell the time, would such a venture be virtually impossible, or is it something that could be pulled off with enough profit to make it worthwhile?
 
I have known Barry for 31 years. ever since we both started on WECB AM 640 the Emerson College carrier station and the minor league training ground before you moved up to ERS. Barry actually developed the show on ECB.

He is amazing at promoting himself and his show. I would not under estimate him. I could see ROR doing a hybrid broker situation with him but the problem is the show does not the most attractive demo to advertisers but if the spots are priced right he could pull it off and use the show to get other gigs during the week.

I don't remember it being on WROR, but I do remember it was on WBMX in its heyday, which actually was the old WROR before it became WBMX. Maybe that's what you meant? Because I know that when 98.5 changed from WROR to WBMX, they still kept a lot of the same DJs and a lot of the same programming and music.
