XL billboards

Sounds to me like they're shifting the format away from Power 95.3 and 102 Jamz and more towards Mix 105.1. Not a smart move in my opinion when you've already got a declining softer AC to begin with in house (Magic 107.7). I'll agree with the earlier posts that this could indeed be the beginning of the end for XL as we know it. While I'm sure the "XL" branding is strong in central Florida, it's no longer the "hip" or "cool" station to listen to among the younger demos. Probably fine by management as that demo really doesn't command the ad dollars an older one does, but trying to re-image "XL" as an adult station probably won't work. I say spin the format wheel to country before O-Rock does and take a piece of the K-92 pie. However, mangement in Maitland seems to be totally lost and still for some reason high on the crap running over on 104.1.

By the way... does the Orlando Clear Channel group have to divest 1 FM due to the sale of the company and new ownership limits? If so, I'm guessing either 106.7 or 104.1 could be the station sold off. And for anyone who questions why I say 104.1.... Money. It costs a lot to pay those clowns over there and divesting themselves of that mess would surely help the bottom line in O-Town.
 
hey is Cox buying 105.9??? cause guess whats going on my friends......if you think they are " going country"
( doc and grace) they better hurry and buy it. they shut down the morning show on O rock......and guess who is on the way, IF who i saw back in the old building was the same guy and gal. Maybe they were just picking up prizes or something, with all that free time.
 
Where are you getting the information that Doc and Grace are "going country" with COX????? That doesn't make sense.
 
yes Brad, and i also venture into the cox building too. In radio, we have these jobs, where we actually have friends in other companys. more info is shared than you know. we talk about diffucult clients , and how, while this one wont work with us, trade me one that wont work with you...........but we dont discuss war room stuff. B ut when you get off an elevator, and look to your right,, and see , i am pretty sure.........people i used to see everyday. Thats big news. I saw, i didn't ask, but the rumors are everywhere. Thought it would start to make sense. They shut down the O rock Morning show......, unless they were just walking the halls, thinking about the good old days, then the talk we hear out and about, makes sense. JRR has kicked so much dirt on them, they cant stay in that format..........so why not, a good old fashion , head to head, frequency to frequency 105.9 1067 ...... talent to talent........ new format to 17 year old one, show down? I am not saying anything mean here...... but it's starting to become clear.
i do know that 105.9 is shutting it down ( rock )........ and thats all i know for sure. But the vibe is strong.
 
Sounds to me like you're an uber radio geek hoops. To quote William Shatner "Have you ever even kissed a girl"? :)

Either that or someone REALLY close to the situation and the people in the situation. Not just a casual observer.
 
::) I figure he's one of those guys with a white uniform and a bus driver hat and pushes one of those coffee /sandwich carts around!

Well he is trying to sell us some Good Humor... (insert letterman smile here)
 
"shoothoops" is former XL morning guy Doc. It is clear that he is bitter that nobody in the market cares that he is off the radio. the only talk he is getting these days is the talk he is trying to get started for himself right here on this message boards. doc, if you go to another station in town, great and best of luck. but quit posting crap on here to try and make yourself feel better. XL did not lose a single advertiser or a point in the ratings when you left. in fact, i don't think the show has ever been better. go johnny go!
 
Yes, oh mean spirit....... you keep thinking that. I like that, cause now i can rip
away, and you can blame him. Or i could be Grace, or i could be gainfully employed, or i
could be right up the hall. heck, i might be just somebody, if you worked at CC, passed in
the hall today. All i did what make an observation. Heck, i could be Adam Cook, Chad Pitt,
Doc, Pete, Kid, The kooz........unlike you
i dont have a " mean spirit " But you can be damn sure, i am thrilled no advertisers left. This wasn't a rant against my building, i thought it was valuable info. I would like to keep my job, thank you.
See you tommorrow
 
i swear, as a 6 year reader of this board, i never wrote, but i am busting a gut

Like anybody really in radio, seriously , writes on this, is doubtful.

So "Mean " writes it must be a bitter X employee, the basketball post's...... cause he or she swears they know, then all of
the sudden, all these names come out, and i started laughing. It's like having a ton of X boyfriends, but
only think 1 is mad at you! I never realized how many people used to be there, at 106.7

i enjoy the reading, but i am thinking, all the beforehand mentioned, i hope, have something better to do.
i hope. But i swear, from somebody whi just loves to listen, this is really biazzre!
 
To quote Rodney King "Can't well all just get along?" :'(

Hoops, I don't care who you are. I love reading the info. Keep it coming. It's like watching "The Insider" :)
 
I've seen some upside down Bud Light billboards and I don't think Bud Light is in trouble.

Bottom line is, if you want your billboards to stand out and generate talk, either put someone on there naked or put 'em up upside down.

nothing to fix?

Then you dont need the attention, if everything is sailing.

No, thats a well used gimmick to send a message
ha, nothing to fix? And you probably thought the ending of the Soprano's was good.
Every Morning, fades to black, with no point, no logic for why it aired. Whats started with such passion
just goes pointless..... yea, the upside down billboards are a clue that they are going to try and make it right
Otherwise, why did they wait 17 years to get attention?
