Oh joy... the question is, does she know what CHR is? Or will we still be hearing stiffs left and right, mixed in with titles from the late 80s and early 90s that have no business on a CHR in 2005, "old school lunch" or not?

Not that anyone in that building really knows what "old school" really is, but that's another story, for another thread.<P ID="signature">______________

Q92's website

What happened to their website? "q92radio.com" is not working. Hopefully re-designing it?

Congratulations to a good friend and an excellent co-worker. Well deserving of the "stripes"! <P ID="signature">______________
Psycho
Q92-WZKL

Oh for G-d sakes...

"Psycho"??

Are you kidding me?

Who's your sidekick? 'Basket Case' (better clear that with Green Day first).
 
This comment coming from the "music director" who a few posts back said Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl (peaked at #1), Rob Thomas's Lonely No More(#1 at Hot AC and top ten at CHR) and Lifehouse's You and Me (#8 and still climbing)were stiffs. Boy you sure know your stuff. I'm sure you'll be the next MD of the year with that track record.

Let it go. Q92 is now 4th in the market, and #1 in the money demo. Nikolina is tied for first with that "OLD SCHOOL" show. You insist on carrying a grudge for us and nobody here cares, GO AWAY.
 
Re: WZKL (Q92)/CANTON PD Spouts More Ish

> This comment coming from the "music director"

So what John? That MD is like 21 or 22. You're how old and now in the middle of nowhere in WHAT market again as a PD?! Maybe you should post a link to that post you're speaking of.

> Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl (peaked at

Who cares about HAC in a CHR world? I guess PD's like you who try to sound like WNCI.

> Boy you sure know your stuff. I'm sure you'll be
> the next MD of the year with that track record.

I'm sorry, we all might have missed it, but when were you "PD of the Year" since being at WZKL? (for those of you playing at home, if you guessed 'zero' or 'none', you're right!!)

Hell, you haven't even been given props on All Access. Meanwhile, Dan Mason and Kasper of WAKS have gotten props twice. Even Trout at WHOT has gotten mentioned. But, no John Stewart of WZKL/Alliance.

And speaking of "knowing your stuff", maybe you should learn how to be consistant with your ratings, instead of the rollercoater you've had since you've been there. You're giving Cedar Point a run for its' money. You weren't able to hold onto what you had last spring and you probably won't be able to again this time around. I'd bet you money, but I hear you have a history of non-payment, don't ya?

When you start having some stability in your performance, then you can spout your mouth. The only successful track record you have John is running your mouth like a nutjob behind that monitor of yours.

> Let it go.

Practice what you preach and grow up, while you're at it. You're how old again?

> Q92 is now 4th in the market,

Oooh, in market 128 (or whatever it's fallen to now) and with how many stations solely targeting your specific demo in Canton?

That's what I thought. You're in CANTON -- not Cleveland (or Dayton for that matter), John for a reason.

> and #1 in the money demo.

And I can tell you're really taking advantage of that. With spotsets filled with barters and P-I's (and I know because I decided to listen to a few yesterday).

> Nikolina is tied for first with that "OLD
> SCHOOL" show.

Well congrats. Too bad you have to go out of the CHR demo to do it. Still worried about WKDD aren't ya?

> You insist on carrying a grudge for us and
> nobody here cares

What grudge would someone who's never worked for you have? IIRC, you've only had ONE person go onto better things. You're right -- nobody cares. About your station or your staff. When you start playing with the big boys, let us know.

> GO AWAY!

You do the same and STFU! Just another response from you that shows how thin your skin is.

My, oh my, John Stewart.. I hope you and I wind up programming against each other someday, because I will enjoy kicking your ass. Matter of fact, you and the other John (Trout) should be PD/MD together, that way I would be able to destroy both of you.

I never said Gwen was a stiff... I said that it was annoying and that I personally hated the record, but I didn't say it was a stiff, to the best of my recollection. Lifehouse, yes, I was wrong about.. it happens.

I don't like you, I don't like your station, that's all there is to it. But, that's my right. If you had a competitor in Canton, you would not be where you are.. and no, WAKS doesn't count as competition for you, so don't even try to say that you're beating KISS, because they could care less about Canton.

Oh yes, in regard to your comment about "nobody here cares"...

Obviously YOU do. Why else would you bother to post a response? Why else wouldn't you just let me say my piece and not even dignify it with a response, IF, in fact, you didn't care?

Re: Q92 and Igor

> I wish they would bring Igor back more often. I never laughed so hard when I heard him filling in nights a couple weeks ago. The way he worked the phones was great. They need someone fresh like that for nights. Does he work any other shifts or is he just a "fill-In" for peoples vacations?

Uhhh, John. 25-54 would be the money demo. More so, 25-54 women.

25-54 women
1. WHBC-FM
2. WKDD

Q92 is NOT #1 in the money demo.

You could be. You ARE targetting 18-54, right?
LMAO! Sure.

Thanks! I usually do weekends. Phones aren't as wild on the weekends though. Nights are fun. :) I live almost 2 hours away from the station, so I'm trying to do as much work in my home studio as possible, so more of my IMAGING will be hitting the air soon.

For the record... I think it's kind of cool that Q92 isn't a cookie cutter CHR, and that something like the "Old School Lunch" exists. If it appeals to the demo, why not put it on the station? Eh, what do I know though... I'm just some dude that sometimes works in radio! I'm more of a radio fan than a radio guy. I just like the idea of a station doing it's own thing and catering to the community.

Last but not least, CONGRATS NIKOLINA! Hope the MD strips came with a fat raise! I know you'll do a great job!

Take care, everyone!<P ID="signature">______________

Re: OH, IS IT NOW??? Re: WZKL (Q92)/CANTON middayer NIKOLINA adds MD duties

Really, so being #1 Persons 18-34 overall station, #1 mornings, # 1 middays, #1 afternoons #1 nights and #1 weekends sucks ass right. Guess we won't be able to sell that demo and teens are the only thing holding us up still.

Thanks for checking in Keith.

The problem is, you're not selling. It seems the sales people for the various services (prep & Westwood One/ABC, etc.) are doing a better job selling YOU than YOU selling to the community.

You're next problem is sustaining what you have. You've failed a year ago at being able to do just that.

Oh, BTW...are you #1 with women in your demo??? That IS what counts. If you're #1 with teens (which I know you are), that ain't nothing to brag about. Where's their disposable income?

Save us your BS, John...in this heat, people can smell it further.

> Thanks for checking in Keith.

Swwwwwwiiiiing and a miss.
You shouldn't be name dropping when you haven't a clue. That's something a 12-year-old does.

You are seriously the ONLY PD who responds the way you do on this board. And I am not talking just the Cleveland board. I mean the entire Radio-info.com board. Thanks for the laughs, JStew.

>>> Really, so being #1 Persons 18-34 overall station,

18-34 females would be your target, yet you are getting beat 18-34 women...BY WHBC-FM!!!!!!!! One of the most boring stations on the friggin dial!


>>>#1 mornings,

Congrats. You actually beat HBC-FM. Battle of the "who has the most boring morning show."


>>># 1 middays,

Again. WOMEN 18-34 is your target. HBC-FM KICKED YOUR ASS! And WKDD was right on your heels.

>>>#1 afternoons

WOMEN 18-34. WHBC-FM beat you again. In fact, afternoons are your weakest daypart. And YOU are the one on the air.
You did beat Keith Kennedy though. Probably all you care about.


>>>#1 nights

Weekenders in Podunkville, Iowa could beat John Tesh.

>>> and teens are the only thing holding us up still.

Pretty much.


> Thanks for checking in Keith.

Not even close, my friend. Nice try.

That's Funnuh, Frank!

See, this is good radio board posting. Keep it up.

Better to be an MD than to be nothing at all. You should know.
