You and I both know what I did, for that I am sorry. So, can't you and I be friends again
You can buy some more advertising space to make up for it.

The Radio Follies!

Well, guess what? Since the last post, Star 98.3 has changed AGAIN! Guess ole' Moondog wasn't cutting it trying to fill T-Bone and Heather's shoes. I understand he's now doing mornings over at WMDM (97.7), which used to be the "Oldies Station". Frank Dawson's still doing country at 102.9 WKIK (for now!) And I just heard some new morning "team" on Star this morning that sound eerily like T-Bone and Heather (shocker there!!) As someone who spent almost 15 years in radio, from small all the way to major broadcast markets, I've seen these kinds of changes over and over. Star 98.3 should never have messed with the basic format. Granted, you can't be a "Classic Rock & Roll" station playing the same songs forever, but new songs get added to the "Classic" collection everyday, and few listeners tire of them. Also, since Star 98.3 is essentially automated all the time (except for weekday mornings), spend enough to at least do a top-notch morning show.
The move of WMDM (97.7) from Oldies to an Alternativie Rock format was a horrible decision. Your only sponsors will be bars, night clubs, and zit cream commercials. I give that format only a year or two before it's gone (after they've lost enough money on it). If management's smart, leave the country station(102.9) alone!!!! It'll make you a mint! Radio used to be entertainment, news, sports, contests, etc...and gave birth to some legendary personalities. Sadly, now it's satellites, automation systems, format-of-the-month club, and the "let's see how many songs we can play back-to-back without that pesky disc-jockey" club. If radio ever wants to effectively compete against the CD and MP3(Ipod) invasion, it better stop trying to mimick it's competition, but instead, be different and better. Good Luck with all your stations, Mr. Robertson. I think you're going to need it!
