WRKO's Scott Allen Miller Announcing Changes Come Next Monday

Re: "Boston This Morning"

So much for radio magazine formats being outdated. The question: will it work?
You can see the hand of the new PD from "BZ in this.

No chance, even the name sounds 20 years out of date. No hope of pulling WBZ listeners away.

WHen will Field get serious and hire experienced and successful TALK programmers with a handle on the modern era? He's losing the talkers one after another to failed programming moves. What's it take to wake up?

ABORT! ABORT!

Re: "Boston This Morning"

Based on the title "Boston This Morning", it seems to me that this may be a morning-news block.

Elsewhere on this board, I had written that many talk stations in markets that do not have an all-news station (or a station that, like WBZ-1030, is all-news for 15 hours a day) have an all-news morning block.

But I don't think a four-hour morning news block on WRKO-680 could work. They should be focusing on talk, perhaps with Scott Alan Miller doing several by-phone interviews each hour with different guests and occassionally, listener calls.

Given the nature of commutes, these segments should be kept short--maybe three or four (if mnot five) per hour.

Something else- WBZ's got huge newsroom resources, no way WRKO could compete. Why try?

I'm not fond of four hours of news and little or no phone calls, I will listen though to see what happens.
