"I will sell you the time and tell you how to use it."

IM NOT LOOKING TO DEBATE ANYONE.

Why, then, post on a board that is all about debate, with plenty of participants who have their own relevant experience in the business? Follow a certain Mr. Jones' example and sell your wares exclusively to people who are clueless about radio.

[Parttimer]

Gee, this is really going well so far.

 

[radiofree1]

Actually, this is very entertaining. True, block programming can be very profitable for a station and I'm sure Big Ed is making big profits banking the checks of folks who want their very own radio show and can be a "celebrity". It's a profitable way to do business, but it's really bad radio. Like WWBA during non-prime hours, it's all about a few extra bucks, not good radio to generate listeners. Seriously, who would spend any time listening to a station that runs a colon cleaning show, followed by a mortgage program, followed by a car show, followed by a psychic hour? Signal aside, the short-sighted "money now" mentality is why stations like 1040, 1340, 1490 will NEVER have a decent following. I am very disappointed in talk radio in Tampa Bay, especially considering the way it used to be, some of the best local talk nationally. More money now will always equal bad radio forever. Attempting to deliver quality programming will always have the opportunity to deliver much bigger long-term gains, and, good radio, which is why all of us should be in this business in the first place.

like..........it was a joke..................by saying Ill do the whole afternoon and nights....thats some serious $$$ to dish out on what you want. No ones going to listen anyways to a public access station!!! cause this is what is sounds like!

 

[sbe1]

Who cares if they ever make the book.... The idea is to make money. They will never make the book. They cant possibly keep an audience because you never know what language they will be in. If I owned that station, I would be doing the exact thing they do now. BTW, I recall Big Ed playing oldies every once in a while. Maybe that was when he was on 1280. Way back in the 80's 1490 was WTRL. They still used live jocks and had a country format then. On Sunday mornings, they sold out the station to a black preacher who took over the studio and had a bunch of people in there with him.... That obviously didnt follow the format back then either.

 

[zoneguy]

I have to admit I find the local talk scene so depressing that I do often flip to the brokered stations. There is somethng surreally entertaining to listen to those trainwreck programs and the promos for the trainwrecks to come.

 

[Butters925]

We charge $1200.00 per hour,you sell your own commercials to make your money.If your interested let me know...thanks,ed.......I just was looking for a producer position not hosting a show! Hell if i wanted to do a host a talk show im sure I could go somewhere else and get on the air with paid sponcers for less than that!!! Hell 1010 don't even charge that and they are almost dead last in the book!
