Clear Channel is letting their shareholders down with WRLL.
> What a mess.
Man, Clear Channel is really missing the boat by not putting Real Oldies on FM!
It should have been on FM on June 6th. Most Chicagoans dont even know it exists. And in the last few days it seems like it does'nt exist. Always sounded crappy, now forget about it.
WLIT, WNUA & WVAZ seem to be redundant. All three stations could be succesfully merged into 2 good Lite AC and Urban AC stations.
I can't believe they havent hired some of the 'JMK jocks along with Lil Tommy and Uncle Larry put them on FM and stick it to Jack, and Joel (not Java) H.

All of the WJMK jocks are under contract to Infinity....so they can't just skate over there.

They can never be merged and bill the same.
WKSC is the dead weight in the equation. 4 years later and it STILL is pulling in revenue LESS than the format before it.
It is a shame with WKSC, they could be wiping B96 and a few others butts on the ratings and eventually revenue, but there were some bad decisions made along the way, that have dragged it down.

Re: Clear Channel is letting their shareholders down with WRLL.

I couldn't agree with you more, the reason I did not mention it is because it is one of my favorite stations.
You know why? (You'll like this) It reminds me of being a teen in Chicago and listening to Z95!!
I'd hate to see us lose our only Top 40 station to Oldies, even though I want Real Oldies on FM.
Do all three of those stations (The Lite, WNUA and V103) really bill that much? It seems like they would canabalize each other, I'd love to see 'NUA go chill, but I don't think it will ever happen. Plus I really only listen to chillout music at home, and I have about a half dozen great Internet stations for that.
Add some jazzy numbers to 'VAZ and let's go with "Real Oldies 95.5 FM", even though they would have to add more '60's and early (real early) '70's, that's where 104.3 fu*%ed up. Remember when they threw in Billy Joel & The Police a few years ago? They obviously never recovered.

If KSC was not in the equation for so long, by now, I would stand out to say, Emmis & Q would possibly be doing CHR on 101.1 with Mancow in the mornings. But no one will do CHR with WKSC doing it, B doing their Urban/Hispanic leaning deal, and Power leaning young.

Ahhhh, I am not alone. =) HA HA.
Even WLS-AM of the 70's and earlier, WCFL, WDHF/WMET, WEFM......... all the trendsetters of the times that attempted to take down the Big 89!

Yes they bill like nuts for CC. They have the 25-54 and even the African American demo locked up (esp VAZ & NUA). And as far as them trampling along each other???? Radio loves it. Why? If a listener is going from VAZ to NUA or even VAZ to GCI within a 15 min period, CC wins. The listener has not left their CLUSTER of stations. They only loose when they leave to a competitiors signal. Easiest way to explain it.
...........even though they would have to add more

JMK messed up because they did not evolve properly. If they had left out the 80's stuff, dropped off the early 60's stuff and focused on 70's, they would have made the tough transition. As we see, Infinity did not want to.
It is a shame 60s music is gone, but, it is a bigger shame that the mid 40's woman which was in their teen years in the 70's (and now a prime demo to sell) can't hear the music of their generation. <P ID="signature">______________
