CBS Radio promised that some of B94 would live on as it "blended" the B94 format with the Hot AC format of "Star 100.7" (WZPT). Supposedly, the music mix of "Star 100.7" would feature current hits from artists such as Lady Gaga, Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson and the Black Eyed Peas plus favorites from the 1990's and 2000s from artists such as Pink, the Dave Matthews Band, Beyonce, Coldplay and Justin Timberlake. Bubba, a longtime fixture on the B94 morning show, moved to the same slot on Star 100.7 along with current hosts J.R. Randall and Shelley Duffy. WBZW's Melanie Taylor would host midday's on Star, 9am-2pm, with Star personality Scott Alexander hosting afternoons, 2-6pm. "It's a new decade and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a super pop music station for the audiences of both B94 and Star 100.7," said VP of Programming Keith Clark. "Pittsburghers have grown up with B94, but the pop music audience today shares its time between B94 and Star 100.7. If you like B94 and you like Star but flip back and forth, you will love this blended station." That new "blend" is exactly what I offered CBS Radio three years ago when I launched "Total Popular Music" (TPM) at TotalPopularMusic.com, and a CBS Radio programmer told me the concept would never fly! toddjammin on "B94 Stunning?" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18635#post-74942 Sun, 14 Feb 2010 19:39:20 +0000 toddjammin 74942@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ B 94 changes formats to sportsradio 937 the fan tomorrow morning at 6. the call letters will be KDKA FM. All the songs stunting have to do with sports. jasonharper2007 on "B94 Stunning?" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18635#post-74941 Sun, 14 Feb 2010 17:43:07 +0000 jasonharper2007 74941@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ The Fan New Website is Up Already <a href="http://937thefan.radio.com" rel="nofollow">http://937thefan.radio.com</a> jasonharper2007 on "B94 Stunning?" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18635#post-74940 Sun, 14 Feb 2010 17:40:22 +0000 jasonharper2007 74940@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Its Look Like They Are Stunning With Sports Music And Party Songs Dave Andrews on "KCDX survives the storm! (for once)" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18607#post-74876 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 04:51:54 +0000 Dave Andrews 74876@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Last week we had one of the biggest rainstorms in years -- and much needed! Usually after a storm, KCDX goes off for a few days and I get the Mega repeater out of Strawberry. This time, Ghost Radio survived the deluge! Did Ted buy some new equipment, or just protect the present equipment a little better? e gill cvi on "Anyone still looking at this board?" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18601#post-74866 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 20:02:04 +0000 e gill cvi 74866@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ If so, post your market's all-Christmas jump. Did any see any losses because of all-Christmas? Philadelphia's WBEB's November - December - Holiday Book PPM ratings went 7.6 - 12.9 - 16.7. Cume for the same period went 1,724,500 - 2,140,200 - 2,462,300. Yeah, that's almost 2.5 million! *WBEB was all-Christmas for the last 12 days of November and all of December and the entirety of the Holiday book. They had no competition in the market. homerjay on "Long enough turns into too long" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18583#post-74839 Sat, 23 Jan 2010 12:49:51 +0000 homerjay 74839@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Five hours? Outside of office/work listening, few folks are listening for five hours and thus have no idea someone was covering extra time. Subtract from that already small number those that happen to notice and care. videokilledtheradiostar666 on "Long enough turns into too long" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18583#post-74838 Sat, 23 Jan 2010 11:19:51 +0000 videokilledtheradiostar666 74838@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Sorry. a [b]professional radio station would not allow that to happen. There is a tuneout factor and she reached it after five hours. Yet another cheap corporate move.
