Just Dance is now an AC recurrent; it's a former "AC Top 40" hit. I'd say, blame Katy Perry. When Hot and Cold made it to the AC airplay chart, a lot of people said that a "limit" was broken. The Lady GaGa songs on the AC listing may be deceiving, though. "Old fashioned" AC stations aren't playing them. "Lite Rock" stations are (such as WFPG, Atlantic City). Could it be that B101 is moving away from "Soft AC" to the "Lite Rock" formula? It would make sense in a way -- to head off another station from attempting to hurt them with a borderline-Hot AC.

Brown, who became infamous for smacking around his girlfriend, Rihanna, after a pre-Grammy Awards ceremony, is asking fans to help him get his music back on the radio. (Photo: Gemma Mary, Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license) In a recorded statement through the website, SayNow.com, Brown says: “A lot of radio stations aren’t playing my records. They are not being that supportive and I wouldn’t expect them to. My music won’t be possible if I’m not relevant on the radio.” Hear it: You can <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_audio/031010_chris_brown_audio.mp3" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_audio/031010_chris_brown_audio.mp3');" target="_blank">listen Brown’s plea here</a>.

We're seeing a massive migration of talk radio to FM; I wouldn't be surprised if in the next few years a large percentage of FM stations have some kind of talk or talk-oriented format. I wonder if this wave of FM stations going talk has to do with a proposed regulation that would force radio stations to pay artists (as well as songwriters) when they play music.

I mean, I know the station is aiming squarely at females but to pretend no males registered for the contest is crazy. I ask because...well, because I'm a male who registered and I listen almost every day and I don' think I ever heard them call a man's name. And also because today, I couldn't tell whether the 1:00 name was "Tiff" or "Tim." I actually set up a calendar reminder to listen at 1:00 every weekday but the odds are stacked quite high against me so I think I'm gonna give up on t his particular $500 jackpot! haha.

Percentage of college grads as regular radio or tv listeners – Limbaugh: 37% CSPAN: 36% CNN: 28% MSNBC: 31% NPR: 38% National Average: 27% Note: Limbaugh with "37%" -that alone places the average of his listeners outside the college educated strata. "Percentage 50+ in age: Limbaugh:51%, not 67%" Note here that my remarks was "Limbaugh’s national listener average is a 67 year old white male w/high school education. " Either you misunderstand the difference between -percentage- and an age median..or..you are being purposefully deceptive. "Arbitron: Since 1991, Limbaugh has had the most-listened-to radio talk show in the United States...." The term; "most listened too"- is a marketing tool and means little in actual business terms. The -facts- are that Con-Talk stations often bill substantially less than straight new ot music formats in most markets -even with comparable 6+ shares. Here in NYC the two conservative N/T's WABC and WOR bill substantially less than other stations with comparable ratings: Here's the BIA list for 2008. figures are in millions. 1. WLTW $52.6 2. WINS $51.8 - All News 3. WHTZ $49.6 4. WCBS-AM $46.7 -ALL News 5. WFAN $38.9 6. WPLJ $31.1 7. WQHT $30.1 8. WSKQ $29.4 9. WAXQ $29.2 10. WBLS $28.0 11. WRKS $26.4 12. WKTU $25.6 13. WWPR $25.0 14. WABC $21.3 -Con Talk 15. WPAT-FM $20.8 16. WCBS-FM $18.5 17. WWFS $17.8 18. WXRK $15.9 19. WOR $15.1 Con-talk 20. WQXR $10.6 21. WRXP $10.4 22. WCAA $9.5 22. WADO $9.5 24. WEPN $9.3 25. WMCA $7.9 The reason for this disparity is not simply AM vs FM in fact, WCBS-am is now late (2009) the highest grossing station in the market, it is the demographics of the conservative audience.

The station adds “The Leadoff Spot” hosted by Ryan Ruocco from 5am to 6am leading into Mike & Mike from 6am to 10am. Seth Everett moves from nights to a 10am to 11am slot. Colin Cowherd’s national show airs from 11am to 1pm. Current 10am to 12pm host Brandon Tierney moves to 1pm to 3pm where he will be joined by Jody MacDonald. The Michael Kay Show drops an hour to run from 3 to 7pm, with the final hour keeping its “New York Baseball Tonight” theme. Bill Daughtry will host from 7pm to Midnight. In Los Angeles, the national lineup of Mike & Mike followed by Colin Cowherd remain from 3 to 10am. The dropped hour from Cowherd leads to middayers Mychel Thompson and Andrew Siciliano sliding up an hour to air from 10am to 2pm. Steve Mason and John Ireland also slide up to run from 2pm to 6pm. A new night show, hosted at the Los Angeles ESPN Zone resturant, hosted by Brian Long and A. Martinez (no relation to the actor of the same name) will run from 6pm to 9pm.</blockquote> <a href="http://radioinsight.com/espn-radio-changes-in-nyc-la-and-nationally/" >ESPN Radio Changes in NYC, LA, and Nationally</a>  mediumwave_dx on "Classic Countdown on WCBS-FM...The Spring of 1970" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18716#post-75068 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:19:22 +0000 mediumwave_dx 75068@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Classic Countdown...The Spring of 1970 WCBS-FM...March 7, 2010 Time: 1hr 55mins 8 secs <a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/237109262/bcbf3f10/ccsp1970.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.4shared.com/file/237109262/bcbf3f10/ccsp1970.html</a> cfernando_29_09 on "AT40" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18715#post-75067 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 16:30:03 +0000 cfernando_29_09 75067@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Hello.

They referred to Limbaugh as a shock jock with lackluster ratings. The Herald noted the change today as an article on Charley Manning but noted Limbaugh's change to 1200. Go figure The Globe is on the brink if disaster. They feel the need to editorialize a station change. Massachsetts is a different animal than most of the country. The people tend to be very provincial. Local sells better.

EST, WXKS-1200 ran a loop of soundbites from Rush (and other syndicated hosts it will carry) as well as excerpts of speeches from former President Ronald Reagan (who, almost six years after his death, remains a hero to conservatives and an arch-enemy to liberals). Then at 12:06 came the start of the Rush Limbaugh show. warren.merrill on "Rush Radio 1200 Boston Launch Moved To Monday 3/8" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18661/page/2#post-75064 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:45:17 +0000 warren.merrill 75064@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ “Limbaugh’s national listener average is a 67 year old white male w/high school education. His audience has declined some 40% since the mid-late 1990s” Is this the classic liberal, if we don’t know the facts we make them up approach? From the Pew Research Center …. Percentage of college grads as regular radio or tv listeners – Limbaugh: 37% CSPAN: 36% CNN: 28% MSNBC: 31% NPR: 38% National Average: 27% Percentage 50+ in age: Limbaugh:51%, not 67% According to Arbitron, the top five programs are Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, and Michael Savage. Arbitron: Since 1991, Limbaugh has had the most-listened-to radio talk show in the United States, with 14.25 million listeners a week as of March 2009. In 2003, he peaked with an audience of nearly 20 million a week. His audience share peaked in 2003 not the mid 90’s. HIs share has declined a litlte more than 25% not 40%. There’s more competition now. But he’s still #1 by a large margin. The thing I’ve always found interesting about liberals is they don’t care about facts since facts usually interefere with the truth. It’s much easier to make up facts and repeat them until the uninformed start to believe them. Note: I’m not a big Limbaugh fan. I just like dealing in realities and truth when it comes to facts.

EST: Last night, shortly after the Academy Awards show began (according to news repoorts on radio stations WCBS-880 and WINS-1010), WABC-7 was restored to Cablevision subscribers after a deal was made. Neither radio station mentioned details, but both reported that ABC/WABC and Cablevision both believed it was "fair". Joseph_Gallant on "WABC-7 Vanishes From 3 Million Cable Homes" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18714#post-75062 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:02:06 +0000 Joseph_Gallant 75062@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Some three million homes served by Cablevision Systems Corporation in the New York metropolitan area (mainly on Long Island and in parts of Westchester County) may not be able to watch tonight's (March 7th) live ABC telecast of the Academy Awards. That's because a dispute between WABC and Cablevision has resulted in the station's signal disappearing from affected cable systems. At this writing (3 P.m. EST), there's little chance of some sort of agreement that would restore WABC to those subscribers. Both sides have issued rather nasty statements with Cablevision blaming Disney (ABC parent) CEO Bob Iger. I suspect WABC will follow with an attack on Cabvlevision founder Chuck Dolan, who although no longer CEO (it's now his son James), is still considered the "real power" at the company. MSNBC.com report: <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35747720/ns/business-media_biz?GT1=43001" rel="nofollow">http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35747720/ns/business-media_biz?GT1=43001</a> . Should the ratigns for the Oscars slip by about 2% compared to last year, credit (or blame) could go to this dispute, since I believe (and correct my math if I'm wrong) that 3 million cable homes equals about two percent of the nation's TV households. And remember that many cable homes do not have TV sets with digital tuners or digital-to-analog converter boxes that would allow one to watch WABC's over-the-air signal. peppertree5706 on "WABC Saturday Night 3 6 10" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18713#post-75061 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 22:45:44 +0000 peppertree5706 75061@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Thank you.
