Z-102 Change

Ruh roh Rorge, Z102's website is under construction. They have to be flipping formats. Why else would they change the webpage?

Yeah I heard someone pass gas this morning on the Bob and Sheri show.... That MUST mean a format flip is in the future.....
 
Looks like they changed the website with the new logo. Not a total overhaul of the old site. Just added a blue background instead of the black and it looks like they have put Marguerite on MidDays for the long haul. Interesting...
 
I don't believe it. I think Z102 should flip to all Slayer all the time. Only bad thing about that is you can hear their entire catalog in 3 hours cause the songs are only 2 minutes a piece.
 
LOL THE WORLD COULD ONLY BE SOOO LUCKY...HEY BILLY! GO BRAVES!!!! LOL
 
Funny how people like to bash Z102 and make negative comments on the station without really knowing the facts. My favorite was the post about KISS-FM soundly beating them and being the "Ratings juggernaut". That's pretty funny, because anyone with access to the market ratings knows that isn't the case. Take Kidd Kraddick away from the station and they are pretty even with Z102. Z102 has been on a steady ratings increase since the new PD got there. As a matter of fact Z102 beat KISS-FM last book in the afternoon persons 18-34, and in middays they are only a share behind in that same demo. The night guy beat KISS-FM at night his first book here. Everybody knows 12+ numbers mean nothing so stop looking at them, advertisers don't. It seems to me KISS-FM sounds more automated and generic as ever with nothing good promotionally on the air this book, while Z102 is actually doing things from a marketing standpoint and making changes to make their station sound better. Have you seen any Clear Channel billboards or TV commercials this book?? Cumulus isn't the greatest broadcasting company out there, but maybe they are finally giving the guys at Z102 what they need to win. We'll see very soon.

I refuse to get into a pissing match, but run Maximizer again... you'll see we doubled Z in W18-34... 10a-Mid... Persons we are 40% higher. I'd love to say more... but why would I want to help Jan Jeffries by telling him the faults of ZAT...

Russ, you don't need to justify anything. WAEV's been dominant, book after book. One could write tomes on WZAT and its almost-a-decade-old identity crisis.
 
Maybe we all just need to shake hands and realize that there is room for two CHR-ish stations in town for the forseeable future. I'd love to see a 100,000 watt modern rock blowtorch in town, but for now, we'll just have to listen to 107.7 out of Brunswick ;) (decent station for a small market) or the webstream of 96Wave.

I'm not much of a big top-40 listener, so I step out of which one is better. But ever market has duplicate stations. It just happens.

But another modern rocker would be awesome.

Damn you're sexy Captain Connors...and Hagar still sux!
 
Guys, you are missing the point. KISS has been the dominant CHR for a long time in Savannah because they had no competition. Now they aren't as dominant as they were and it looks like Z102 is doing something right because they are gaining ground. Maybe we will finally have a real CHR battle instead of one station winning by default.

Hire Florian to do middays and you will crush em!
 
Anyone else realize this whole "Kiss rules! No! Z rules! (or it might someday)" argument is about 2 stations, neither of which are a threat to crack the top 5 anytime soon? "We're number 6! We're number 6!"

Meanwhile, far above, Love 101 smiles down upon its quarrelsome minions....
