Re: And While I'm At It, John Stewart..

Oh Thank God you're here SuperProgrammer!! Now I can straighten out WZKL in one afternoon. I'm so excited to fix the Q to your standards by playing the exact same playlist as every other CHR in the country. Thank you Thank you Thank you. We can even change the name of the station to be KISS FM South, HOT FM West or NCI East. Thank you SuperProgrammer.

Donnie will be so happy too since he's been dropping tens of thousands of dollars on researching music and paying a consultant for their expert opinion. Now we can just check on this informative board about TOP 40 for FREE. Thank you SuperProgrammer.

Good points on Daniel Powter...not sure what I was thinking by playing the #9 song in the country that much. (up 1100 spins) Thanks for the heads up SPD.

Chamillionaire too OMG who even would even pay attention to the audiences requests or callout when we have you. (#1 request on Thursday Ridin and #2 callout this week)

So thank god for SuperProgrammer, we'll get it all fixed TODAY!

How many YEARS have you had the gig and you have YET to do anything substantial with it? When's the last book you actually sustained your audience?

Oh yeah -- NEVER!

When you actually have 2 good books -- IN A ROW -- then you can say something.

> Donnie will be so happy too since he's been dropping tens of

And how's that working out for ya?

Wait a minute.

But you're the Program Director.

You're being paid to program the station. So, Donnie has no trust in you, your experience and abilities, so he needs to pay someone else -- who knows nothing or very little about the market -- what to program and what they "think." Between the salary you're getting and the money being paid to the CONsultant, that's a ton of money being pissed away as your performance consistently demonstrates (and performance in key demos that actually matter...not what some tween thinks). Wow. It really sucks to be you. I agree with CHRProgrammer even more in this aspect: Canton is TOO BIG of a market for you.

And what are the 8 other songs above it, dumbass??

But tomorrow. The day after. Next month. Next year and as time goes on, you'll still be a dumbass and the laughing stock of Northeast Ohio radio.

Yep, even more than Hot 101, which has improved greatly over the months.

I'd love to know who you think you're actually impressing in this industry by your retarded rants. Probably someone just like you.

They don't matter either.

STFU No Talent Programmer. I can clean your clock in one book. Oh wait...

Re: And While I'm At It, John Stewart..

I haven't heard this station, and don't know much about Canton since I worked at two Canton stations that no longer exist :)

But, the bottom line is whether or not this station is making money, and if the owner of the station feels that his revenue expectations are being met.

If both of these conditions are met it is clearly possible that the ownership doesn't want to create any risk by tinkering too much and perfers a status quo approach.

I don't know any of the demographics of the station, although their 12+ (meaningless) numbers don't look that bad.

I don't know John Stewart (I don't believe we have even met), but I must say that I am impressed by:

1) That he takes the time to try to respond to the criticisms of his radio station. I am sure the radio-info.com listeners do not make up much of his audience!

2) He clearly has passion for what he is doing! And he seems to feel very strongly about his approach to programming. Since programming is not yet totally scientific I think we need to respect this man's opinions, and clearly respect the passion he is showing.

Can this radio station be programmed better? Absolutely, and I am betting it can also be programmed worse.

As to the insults to this man about still being in Canton. Perhaps he perfers Canton, prefers working for the ownership he works for, and doesnt' feel the need for the glory (and, oh yeah, the stress and BS) of larger markets. I know a lot of PDs and air talent who prefer the stability of smaller markets! Perhaps this man has children and doesn't want to throw them in the back of his Uhaul every few months?

I think radio-info.com is a great place for us to throw out ideas, share ideas, and heck, even armchair program radio stations. That's all fun. Quite honestly I think all of those things can be enhanced when ACTUAL programmers and working radio people add their two cents. So maybe we have rushed to crucify this man, let him speak, and let us respond in creative and productive ways. I bet we all have more fun!

Let's have dialog, not attacks.

Critique is ok. Even controlled debates. But not malicious attacks by those who probably have never been in the PD (hot) seat.

Didn't Stewart work at Z100 or 'PLJ? Not that it matters. Just curious.

That's It, John.. Keep Proving My Exact Point

"Oh Thank God you're here SuperProgrammer!! Now I can straighten out WZKL in one afternoon. I'm so excited to fix the Q to your standards by playing the exact same playlist as every other CHR in the country. Thank you Thank you Thank you. We can even change the name of the station to be KISS FM South, HOT FM West or NCI East. Thank you SuperProgrammer."


You missed my point about the definition of "CHR" in its entirety, John Stewart. Perhaps you should go back and read it again... there is a reason that every CHR in the country sounds very much the same and that's the format. The currents are going to be pretty much the same, minus a song here and there that might test very well in one particular area and not so well in another. The <u>difference</u> between those stations is the formatics in which those records are presented, whether it be the hour clocks, the imaging, the jocks... you get my point, right?


"Donnie will be so happy too since he's been dropping tens of thousands of dollars on researching music and paying a consultant for their expert opinion. Now we can just check on this informative board about TOP 40 for FREE. Thank you SuperProgrammer."


I would just LOVE to see what "research" tells you that playing Animals by Nickelback (just the same as you did with Figured You Out by them last year) is serving the strongest desires of the CHR audience in Canton, Ohio. You already have a station home to the market that should be all over that record, Rock 107. Let them play it and establish it as a hit before you jump all over it. Savin' Me is the CHR hit and is better for Top 40, both in testing and just plain common sense.

As far as the "tens of thousands of dollars" and the CONsultant, I would say that A) You're overpaying for the research in a two book market and B) Are getting royally screwed by having a consultant. Why, John Stewart, do you need a CONsultant, if you know what YOU are doing as a Program Director? Why, John Stewart, do you need a CONsultant, if Nikolina has been taught well and knows what SHE is doing as a Music Director? It seems to me that the money that Donnie is spending to have somebody try to point out flaws of the radio station that may or may not be there could be much better spent in other areas... talent, perhaps? Better promotions?


"Good points on Daniel Powter...not sure what I was thinking by playing the #9 song in the country that much. (up 1100 spins) Thanks for the heads up SPD."


Go back and read the post again, John. I didn't say that it was a good record, because it most certainly IS. What I said was that it is <u>too unfamiliar</u> to be one of only three currents in that hour with all the other CRAP that has ZERO reason being on WZKL. I would bet that "Bad Day" has a solid popularity score, because it's a very good record, but I would also bet that it has an atrocious FAMILIAR score in your callout! THAT, John Stewart, was my point. I would certainly hope that you don't just program according to the Mediabase/R&R charts, because that would qualify you as a fool.


"Chamillionaire too OMG who even would even pay attention to the audiences requests or callout when we have you. (#1 request on Thursday Ridin and #2 callout this week)"


Where are those requests coming from? Where is the bulk of that callout coming from? You can't honestly sit there and try to tell me that your CORE is clamoring for Chamillionaire / Krazyie Bone- Ridin. You can't honestly sit there and try to tell me that a 28-31 year old soccer mom is blowing up your phone lines begging for that song. Remember, that's your CORE in CHR, not the little brats that haven't hit puberty or acquired a driver's license yet.


"So thank god for SuperProgrammer, we'll get it all fixed TODAY!"


Free advice from someone who is more in touch with CHR than you appear to be, John... take it for what it's worth.

Post during your show much, John Stewart? The R-I clock might say that it's 9:xxPM, but as I write this... it is actually 4:16PM Central, which of course is 5:16PM in Canton.

Worry about making sure your show is better than Kasper's, John Stewart... seeing as how you seem to think WAKS is actually in your market.<P ID="signature">______________

FYI - "Bad Day" is presently #1 on the HOT 100 (2nd week in a row)

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/charts/chart_display.jsp?g=Singles&f=The+Billboard+Hot+100

Also, "Bad Day" has been getting exposure to 30 million "American Idol" viewers weekly over the last 2 months - which is why it's a hit. I would suggest that the song's POP and Familiar Score are both high.

Again, I'm not defending WZKL or it's PD/Programming. I'm not even near the Canton market, nor do I care. Just pointing out facts. <P ID="signature">______________

You know, I was thinking just last week that it's been a while since we had a "Bash Q92" thread.

And, now, I come back from a weekend away, and here we are!

Let's see if we can make the trifecta: flaming Mike Luczak and/or WKNR, ripping Allan Fee, and predicting the NEXT station in Cleveland to dump format to go JACK or hot talk.

I leave it to your collectively capable hands.

WXSS Milwaukee has played all of the following for their annual "Top 103.7 Songs Of Summer"

Jimmy Buffet - Margaritaville
Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me
David Lee Roth - California Girls
Sly & The Family Stone - Hot Fun In The Summertime
Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have Fun
Beach Boys - Kokomo
Bananarama - Cruel Summer

and it doesn't stop there. I have 2 tapes full of the 2004 special. By the way it was all based on VOTES from the listeners.


songs they have had in REGULAR rotation for a period:

Rick James - Superfreak
Commodores - Brick House

They're gone now. But it was all added based on their Old School Jams special. Aretha Franklin got in there too by the way. Also based on VOTES from the listeners.

If its a "special", I don't see anything wrong with it.

I could see if they were playing this stuff in regular rotation.

Re: That's It, John.. Keep Proving My Exact Point

My God man, what kind of programmer has the time to spend all day defending himself on message boards? I have to agree with the others, no wonder you're still in Canton. Where the hell is your GM, does he know your doing this? DJ's maybe -- MD's or assistants possibly... but PD's on message boards? You're kidding, right? Never thought I'd see the day, guess I was wrong.

BTW, it's a beautiful day outside, go have a record rep take you out on the golf course or something, dude. You look like a complete fool by constantly defending yourself to a bunch of radio guys yanking your chain.
 
Interesting Email from John

A friend of mine forwarded this email exchange to me earlier tonight.. interesting response, John. I think it speaks volumes for you as a person and as a leader. Also, do I see some Arbitron data being quoted here? Hmm?

Our midday show is #1 in the market with a 15 share and yes we play back in the day songs at lunch and it's the biggest hour in the market bar none.

Re: And While I'm At It, John Stewart..

Have heard this station before but as Z92.5. I really think you should get your hands and concentrate on WXSS 103.7 Kiss FM. That station is HORRIBLE what with all the rap they play! Get your hands on them and change that one instead of worrying about a semi-small market station like Q-92 which by the way, does not have a "Q" in their call letters, never should have dropped their Z92.5 hot AC format and streaming, and not that many people even live in the Canton area you know. Please stop bashing Q-92!

Well John, obviously you DO care because look at your psychotic rants on a message board. Extremely embarassing for a PD. But what do you care, huh? This will be your last gig anyway, I'm sure. At least, a gig of significance.

> We've gone from a 2 share to a 6

Too bad you can't stay consistent. Cedar Point should name a roller coaster called the "Q" because you're numbers are so up-and-down from book-to-book.

> Our midday show is #1 in the

Hmm...I question THAT, but if that's the case...Wow! But still...nothing to brag about. First of all, it's ONE hour out of 24. In addition John, because you're such a moron, in order for you to get this audience, you have to abandon the CHR format to do it.

And how many of these listeners do you retain at 1pm?

Yeah, that's what I thought. But it doesn't really matter anyway because it's not even YOUR audience.

The audience you SHOULD care about -- the ones that want to hear the HITS of TODAY -- they are listening to someone else.

That would be like WHBC playing Fall Out Boy, Rhianna, Sean Paul and Mary J. Blige for an hour, dumbass.

Oh...and how's PM drive doing? YOUR shift, Mr. Program Director??!

Yeah, that's ALSO what I thought. Other stations are kicking your ass in your own demo. Interesting how other staffers do (or have done) better than you do. But then again, your staffers aren't posting during their shift, either.

> We've got a 38 share at night and have just gotten a new
> morning show that going to be big.

38 share with WHO?!

Yeah that's what I thought, as well.

The tykes. Meanwhile the audience with $$$ -- and the audience you should be concerned about (even at night) -- is listening to something else. The competition thanks you for that!

> Stop

But obviously responding on a message board is a priority to you. Most other PD's brush it off. But you continue to prove your so damn insecure, you have to blow another fuse.

> Lighten Up will ya, it's entertainment.

Practice what you preach, small market no-talent.

Jeremy, you really don't know CHR at all. And judging by your comments on the CHR board, you, like many others, have a serious bias against the rhythemic leaning CHR's.

The fact is, these songs have NO place on a CHR. I don't care what "special" it is.

Once Q92 goes from 6th in the market to #1, you'll all look like fools. Deluca IS Q92. No one has the guts to talk about "deadbeat dads" on the air and "15-year-old girls who get pregnant by their brothers." So all you haters, take note. Q92 will show you all how radio should be done.
