Meaning the owners are out some serious change over not having the broadcast license anymore. </p> http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/17561#post-72255 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 12:21:10 +0000 RFLA 72255@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Wednesday will mark one year since Rush Limbaugh moved from WWL to WRNO, and both stations have happy anniversary stories to tell.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://blog.nola.com/davewalker/2009/03/wrno_rocked_local_talk_radio_a.html" target="_blank"> <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://blog.nola.com/davewalker/2009/03/wrno_rocked_local_ta"><a href="http://blog.nola.com/davewalker/2009/03" rel="nofollow">http://blog.nola.com/davewalker/2009/03</a> ... d_local_ta</a><!-- m --> lk_radio_a.html</a> http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/16024#post-67437 Thu, 09 Oct 2008 13:38:45 +0000 Stelly 67437@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ In the past couple of days, EMF (K-Love) has debuted Christian Rock/CHR "Air1" on its new 89.5/KITA, targetting Lafayette and Lake Charles.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.recnet.com/cdbs/fmq.php?facid=&call=KITA&ccode=1&latd=&lond=&city=&state=&country=US&zip=&party=&party_type=LICEN&jaws=0" target="_blank"> <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.recnet.com/cdbs/fmq.php?facid=&amp;call=KITA&amp;"><a href="http://www.recnet.com/cdbs/fmq.php?facid=&amp;call=KITA&#038;amp" rel="nofollow">http://www.recnet.com/cdbs/fmq.php?facid=&amp;call=KITA&#038;amp</a>;</a><!-- m --> ccode=1&latd=&lond=&city=&state=&country =US&zip=&party=&party_type=LICEN&jaws=0</a> http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/15502#post-66320 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 03:16:27 +0000 AH3RD 66320@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ And, in addition, they finally got off their butts and updated wtixfm.com in honor of this new CD...and other things!

As much as I like old VO guy (Will Morgan) he's not CHR. Audioboy wouldn't be my first choice, but he fits the format. It's a start! <br /> <br /> <b>Refreshed Golds/Recurrents:</b> Definitely treading into KSMB territory here, cherrypicking a decent selection from dance, pop, hip-hop and rock equally. Every now and then, you'll be surprised with a "Baby Got Back" or something like that, but for the most part, it's kept 2003 onward.<br /> <br /> <b>New Jingles:</b> <a href="http://www.kissville.com" target="_blank">TMStudios/Vineyard Studios Kissville (Z100 melody)</a>. Okay, KSMB doesn't have jingles anymore, but it's at least worth mentioning. I think Kissville sounds kind of cheap (I would have gone with the ReelWorld ONE jingles they were teasing with a couple of weeks ago) but at least it's not N2Effect!<br /> <br /> Still needs to be done, in my opinion at least: <br /> <br /> <b>This back to the music faster business.</b> Sure, it's nice to have breaks that last only two minutes, but when you're stopsetting every other song to meet your 10-12 minutes of inventory that hour, it gets kind of aggravating. I'd much rather put up with 4-minute spotsets if it means I get a good 20 minutes worth of programming.<br /> <br /> <b>Stevie G and T-Pot.</b> The one Afternoon Swirl that I listened to, T-Pot called in sick and Stevie G had to run the show solo. No interaction with listeners at all; every time he cracked the mic, it was either a liner card read or about the baby. I'm sure it was cute at first, but I can see it as a major turn-off factor eight months later.<br /> <br /> <b>Top of the hour needs to be at the top of the hour, not coming in from the :15 break.</b> This is just me being a picky radio guy. I noticed this starting to happen when they came back after Katrina. They run the calls coming in from the second break after :00.<br /> <br /> Other than that, they're off to a good start to shake off the old "105.3 the Zone" stigma.<br /> <br /> Stelly<br /> <br /> [Edit: corrected links] http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/15502#post-66019 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 03:29:10 +0000 AH3RD 66019@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ Titled <i>WTIX At The Beach</i>, the CD will feature special summertime-themed oldies and trivia tidbits about each track.
