Apparently, for every $100 bill he gave away his IQ dropped by a point. Sort of lacking in common cents.

X(E)PRS has changed again (or is stunting)
- Thread starter powers
- Start date
Saw this on a Facebook page. Our client Marc's investment in these iconic radio personalities, billboards, a tv campaign and the lease of XEPRS is a bold move during a time when many radio operators aren't taking risks or trying something new. These are the worlds greatest DJs playing the worlds greatest oldies on a 77KW stick that has a signal up the California coast and it's now streaming with a few technical engineering difficulties that will be ironed out over the next few days. We've already been contacted about doing this in other markets... Thanks for listening and stay Tuna'd - Howwwwwwwwlllll! TalentFarm.net. They got the stick wattage wrong.
Where in San Diego are these billboard ads? I haven't seen any. So far, I have only seen one short "Wolfman Jack is back" TV ad. Instead of emphasizing the 1090 signal, it should be about streaming through the app and website until 1090 is Oldies 24/7.
"Taking risks (and) trying something new": (Mostly) dead disc jockeys playing the most popular records of 50-70 years ago.
Now, if they'd actually re-animated Tuna, Steele and Wolf, that would be taking risks (imagine the jock meetings) and trying something new.
Wolfman Jack: "If I'm lyin', I'm.......aw, crap."

We used Charlie as our station voice at the other NPR station I worked at, KIYU Galena, Alaska.. sounded great. When i found out he died, i broke the news to my boss by saying "well, i guess we wont be able to have Charlie do new liners/promos for us"
I was listening Sunday at 9 AM, and they were playing SportsGrid Radio. Man this station’s scheduling of everything is a mess and so inconsistent.
I was hearing “I still haven’t found What I’m looking for” by U2 the other day. It sounded odd. The signal radiates over 20 million people and yet, no one is listening.
They're still running a fishing show too...
Well, at least one West Coast station with night power of 50 kW covering a potential 100 million plus people permanently reduced its night power to 500 Watts. It's just the way it is...
What station is that?
KGA. It was several years ago, but a start of a trend. I remember Art bell indirectly promoting this station when he said you could hear his show "Coast to Coast AM" from "deep into Mexico, all the way up to the Pole". That pretty much was KGA's night pattern coverage way back in the day...
Does the station pay the listener to attend the dog show?
I wonder how many listeners from Radio Discussions live in Southern California or Baja Mexico. We could listen to 1090 AM in shifts and double their ratings.
2 X 0 =
The problem for the Oldies listener is trying to figure out when to tune in. With the majority of hours belonging to Monte Maria, most probably give up and find other ways to get their fix of golden oldies, with better sound quality...and CONSISTENCY!
The music sound quality is a bit odd. I can't quite pinpoint why. I'm familiar with almost every song they play, and all sound like the left and right channel mixes are off a little. Above that, the audio sèems like it's taped off another broadcast. And it's not just AM's inherent bandwidth problems. A few of the exact same oldies are played on 1470 XRCN, but sound far better on that station.
In the stereo version of "I Herd It Through the Grapevine," by Marvin Gaye, the drums are on one channel, the voice is in the middle, and the strings, horns, and keyboards are on the other channel. Apparently, X(E)PRS has not fixed its stereo-to-mono issue.
Classics of Mexican broadcast engineers, "if they work, you don't have to move them" "why move them if they receive audio" "There's no need to move them, why?" "Ground is useless and is not used" "What is Orban's need for, if you can hear the radio directly from the console"
