B94 v Kiss

I have a dog in the fight...but I just gave B a solid 45 minutes of listening time...

REALLY?

REALLY???

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??????!???!???

Who is this radio station targeted at?

Is it Adult CHR?

Is the Programmer stuck in 2002?

Is CBS willing to slaughter Star in the process?

BTW...I can't even begin to talk about Heritage because I don't know who the station is targeted at. Judging from the music, in this case, it may mean something. I just haven't fully determined what.

Is this the canned KISS from Harrisburg?

No he's referring to WKST 96.1 Kiss in Pittsburgh... In 2004, the original B94 WBZZ changed their CHR format of 20+ years because 96.1 Kiss was hurting them in the ratings. Now in 2007, CBS brought back B94 (under different call letters WBZW) after trying two other formats (rock and guy talk).

Well, Guy Talk failed on WYSP in Philly and now the rock music is back. The only decent jock on the old format has the morning drive on the new format.

I must have been one of the only listeners Pittsburgh's Free FM 93.7 The Zone had. I liked the Free FM concept, I am a talk radio junkie but I get tired of the political b---shit from both sides. The Zone just like the other Free FMs got away from political talk. I still listen to WJFK and KLSX.

If you are interested, BOB is doing "A to Z on B-O-B" which starts on New Year's Eve at 3 PM and will go on for about a week. He will be playing 2008 of his favorite songs in alphabetical order, starting with the letter A and ending with Z. You can listen on-line at http://www.bobfm969.com

Pittsburgh was a market that had a Variety Hits hole for a long time, beyond when Infinity had started putting JACK-FM on in many major markets. Infinity opted not to do so in Pittsburgh, and Steel City took advantage of the hole, flipping rock 97 RRK to VH as Bob FM. The results have been strong... good luck with the A-Z countdown.

Infinity/CBS Radio missed in Philly because Greater Media popped BEN-FM on the air in March 2005. WYSP-FM may not be the best rock station in Philly, but they have the Eagles games on FM.

What happened to Opie & Anthony?

Still live in NYC and, maybe, still on delay 10-1 on WJFK.

Speaking of WJFK... what are their plans when Don retires. Will the show be renamed "The Mike O'Meara Show"?
