Here’s the thing that gets me: The radio professional who decided upon Eliot didn’t know he sucks. I heard maybe 10 min. of Eliot and got tired of his yelling and frenetic laugh. He ain’t NY.
I,like tried to,like, listen to Elliott but, like, he was too much, like, listening to, like, a teenager. You know, bro? Dude, he like, talked, like, like a bro, like, too much bro!
Gosh he was banal!
Renda gave WIXZ/WPTT/WMNY to Loran Mann’s church. Some of us were hoping it would go to a local school or university.
.....And Mark.
As in Mark L.
In CT, there is a very sucessful local radio station, WTIC AM, a 50,000 watts flame thrower. Has kept pretty much its local line-up pretty much intact.
Listening to Michael Savage is like listening to yourself hitting your thumb with a hammer. Toture.
If so, I've never heard of it.
Still on WABC AM for now at least from 6-9PM weeknights.
Yup...and btw nothing is official but according to TALKERS.com, Don Imus (working for rival Cumulus/WABC) said he was “told” that Scott Shannon will get the WOR morning slot. Again, nothing official, and rumors yesterday also said Shannon might wind up instead at a CBS-owned FM station in NY.
TALKERS:
>>Imus: Scott Shannon Will Get the Job. The Scott Shannon watch continues as the next radio home of the former, longtime WPLJ, New York morning co-host remains the subject of speculation in New York and across the country. This morning, WABC-based Don Imus was heard saying, “I’m told Scott Shannon will get the [WOR] job and I’m very happy about that.” Imus seemed sincere about his statement.
The only reason that is, is because of the internet (iHeart, Pandora, Spotify, Stitcher, podcasting etc.) and satellite radio, which is unmetered and not measured by the companies compiling terrestrial ratings numbers.
You mention formats, for example, you're not going to find formats such as Muzak (commonly known as elevator music) on terrestrial radio, but you'll find plenty of stations broadcasting Muzak on the internet and on satellite radio.
There's always going to be NPR and conservative talk. Rush Limbaugh pioneered conservative talk radio, and there will always the up-and-coming, and there's others that few people hear about like Todd Schnitt, Andrew Wilkow, Mike Church and others that will be around for years to come and then there will be another generation that follows them.
I think in 15 years, terrestrial radio as we know it will be dead and we'll be getting our radio fix from smart phones, computers, tablets, media devices like Roku and satellite radio.
Yup and indeed now WOR still has a slot to fill in mornings.
