Anybody ever heard of "Big Dog Country" WUUF? They appear to be a Class A FM near Sodus, NY, owned by Waynco Radio. Why would they have a 716 phone number and Buffalo NY address listing?
Just curious...

WUUF?
- Thread starter SirRoxalot
- Start date
WUUF is a rimshot station of Rochester - xmtr is maybe 30 miles from Rochester, studios just outside of Newark in the town of Arcadia. WACK-AM is their half-sister station(literally). The man who fully owns WACK owns 50%(last I heard) of WUUF. The GM (of both stations) owns the other half of WUUF(again, last I heard). They try to sell themselves as a Rochester station and competitor of country leader WBEE and even do some light, 2nd tier advertising in Rochester. Thus, they have both 585 and 315 exchange phone numbers to their Wayne County studios.
As far as a 716 number. An educated guess: they had - and perhaps still have - a sales rep in the Niagara Frontier region who was/is selling for them. Maybe that's still the case and then again, maybe not. But it's the only thing I can think of.

Inquiry here -

shadowing) ?what ever it takes,
anyways, the station/signal is CLEAR (consistently)
in(for example) .........ashtabula, Ohio...
is it worth while (enough) to have an
occassional spot for........
(examples)
the pizza place, in the village mall/ohio,
the jewerly store on 557 main st, ashtabula, ohio???

First of all, who in Ashtabula would pay you? Do you show up in the Ashtabula books?
Secondly, who's going to Ashtabula to pitch a prospective client? It'll have to be a Hell of a schedule to pay for the travel, lodging, etc. in order to make the presentation.
I guess if someone in Ashtabula called to buy spots it might happen. It's a pretty unlikely scenario.

RBO... did you get locked inside our paint and storage closet overnight? 
You guys do know there's groups like Martz communications that tend to do silly stuff like this...right?
It's a miracle they didn't buy 92.9 and tell Toronto that they have a brand new radio station. (while broadcasting out of Buffalo)
They did just that with the Ottawa market, using Fox FM, a station that is alot closer to Cornwall Ontario.
I may not be fully aware of distance in RBO's example, but I do know it's being done...
(due to poor signal in Ottawa, Fox fm is currently targeting Cornwall)

WELL.....what about - - -
What about, say ( ok, not as far distance) but
still impressive, when say, a syracuse CHR station,
gets "numbers" (may be< .1 ) but still "hits"
the buffalo radio market, that was the
inspiration for the inquiry:
why/how/or does it happen for out of market
sponsors, attempting to advertise on the
"neighbor's"(next city,next major market) to
the.....west, for example, or if as luck would
have it - being the lucky person on the other
side of the Lake, ( as in lake erie)
when i drive to clevland, from buffalo -- --
one portion of the trip is "LONDON FM" and
in cottage country, southern ontario/port colborne,
long beach, wainfleet ontario, right along the
water front area, is the erie pa,(esp. star104)....
...by the end of the summer, I can tell you
what is the hot spot on "peach street"
(the heavy advertising business area of erie pa)...

Im confused.. i didn't get much of what Radio Bored Op said.
Not to worry. It went something like this.
"We may the work done by then K = ( V + v ) / t acting a x = ½ ( V - ½ ( V - v ) t. Here v ) t. The a particle in the work done is to the particle. A cons a displacement force of may the product of the resultant x? We causing on a = ½ m V² - v ) ) ) ) / t and x = F x = ( ½ ( V - v is the particle in call on displacement force above equal to be in the produce of the produce above equation a x = F and x = F x = ( V is to be in the kinetic energy of mass of then K = 0 and the particle. A constant force. Peace out."
but then ...

WUUF? MORE LIKE WTF ?!
YOU poeple (minus a select Few) very few...
are down right wrong. So, I have trouble
communicating the point I am trying to convey;
because I am unaware of the rules, regulations
and techincal issues of broadcasting...
I am curious, that is why I want to know.
Hence, the proposed and sometimes preposterous
questions, but it because I dont know the answer...
This board, at least it did, fuels my passion, but
more than not, makes me feel like a dumb ass
when I get ripped a new one.
From now on, an observer(only) since i dont
contribute sh--t here. I may elect to post
on other forums, but no longer here.
I respect other's opinions, facts, and will
continue to read, but no longer provide
the 'headache' and stress that I deliver
to subscibers of this forum. Thank You.
Apologies to all.

C'mon, RBO. We're just old guys funnin' with the new generation. Perhaps we need the occasional reminder that we can be a bit more acerbic than neccessary.
It does take most of us a little extra time to work out the text-speak that you use so casually. I doubt that there are very many text-message mavens hanging around here, and several of us still use "groovy" occasionally.
Please don't let crabby old men keep you from asking questions, or posting your thoughts. If we actually have an answer, we can momentarily feel superior, and stop being jealous of the fact that you're younger, cooler, hipper, and a lot less cranky.

RBO-
Get over it!.....These guys rip into each other as nastily as they do you.
The problem is that most of them use The Kings English, and you put them off balance, so don't take it personally.
We've probably driven all the new blood out of here.......so stick around.

By all means keep posting here, RBO. We'll sharpen our language skills reading your posts and eventually become the heppest of hep cats. As Linc Hayes would say, "solid, brother."

Well stated and easy to comprehend, even for the old dogs who post here regularly. RBO, keep posting. Just remember most of those who post here are probably quite a bit older than you are and we find it difficult to follow some of your posts. It's safe to say more than a few of us couldn't "text" on our cell phones if we wanted to.
well, at least u knew WTF meant.
And, still didnt answer my original ?inquiry:
whatever it was:
basically...why doesnt an out of market business
capitalize on being in an "unique" location and see
it as a possible attempt to "corner the market"
(Either on the sales side, or the buying end).
Admittely,(?sp) it may not be the smartest move...
but, i will tell you - when I drive or invest time in certain
areas 'stations' that shouldnt come in - are.....
and, i see this as a 'chance' to get a 'leg up'
(grandpa's still say that one right ?!! ) on the competition....
Then....Riddle me this:
why does Billboards, target the next market over?
u see: Visit Niagara in PA....Rochester Exits Billboards,
for (either:Batavia stuff/BUFFALO/seneca casino) or Syracuse hotels,resturants,etc...
AND* las vegas RADIO doesnt advertise the strip, the next state over
is where the money is being spent......**yes, i kno i make a good point**
SO....why isnt it feasible(?sp) to sponsor the radio station that gets
the 'books', or if not on the radar stops on the scan.....?? yes, sure
the joe lunchbucket that lives in ohio may wonder why, a .on.gov.(ontario PSA) is
running on his ohio/CHR station.......for like a minute. I tell u ,
when the jock gives the slightest NOTION, ".....ooookay, up next we have"
(SWITCH)! who listens to commercials anyway... [ahh well]
PS: i don't mind a good "ribbin' as you fine folks say,
but i think comments were a little strong...anywayz,
i have typed enuff,how 'bout,givin me an answer to my ?quest?tion?
(bitches)...
(now im trying to type like dat, and cant : )
