According to them, O&A are rummored to be going to K-rock and WNEW is going Country.:confused:

Is this just an official publication of a speculation thread?
:confused:

I don't think you'll see 'NEW go country. And although it would be the smart move, O&A won't be heading to KRock because hooknose wants nothing to do with them.

By the way, was there an (AP) next to the article? I didn't notice it this morning during my commute...

From David Hinckley's column:

quote:

COUNTRY UPDATE: Ray Rossi, morning man for the departing country format on WYNY (107.1 FM), was back on the air yesterday remarking that "this is the longest shivah-sitting in radio history."

Big City Radio, owner of WYNY, hasn't said when country will end, though it will be soon. Meanwhile, it has been classy enough to let the hosts say goodbye.

The big debate among country fans now has shifted to what station, if any, will pick up the format.

At the top of everyone's wish list is WNEW (102.7 FM), which except for Opie and Anthony has lousy ratings as a hot-talk station. The Rotisserie Radio scenario is to move those two to WXRK (92.3 FM) and give 'NEW a new format.

That would be a lot more complicated than it sounds, because of contracts and other internal factors. Even if 'NEW management decided to switch, there's no guarantee country would be the winner.

But there are reports from inside 'NEW that "what-if" discussions have been held — which may reflect only the fact that radio, like other businesses, throws out many scenarios and acts on few of them.





If this doesn't get some sig pics of O&A and lil jimmy in cowboy hats,

Maybe the reason why O&A didnt get the new studio they were promised is because they are moving.




Can I help you? E-mail me.

Does this mean O&A are on the rotisserie? Or do O&A have somebody on the rotisserie?

This sucks for them. I know they hate the midget at K-Rock, but it might be a good career move. It'll be good for their ratings and the fights with management will be amazing. O well, I guess I can handle Garth Brooks in and out of commercials.



“The window burns to light the way back home. A light that warms no matter where they've gone. They're off to find the hero of the day. But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way. Still the window burns. Time so slowly turns. And someone there is sighing. Keepers of the flames. Do ya feel your name? Can't you hear your babies crying? Mama they try and break me. Still they try and break me. 'Scuze me while I tend to how I feel. These things return to me that still seem real. Now deservingly this easy chair. But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair. Don't want your aid. But the first I've make. For years can't hold or feel. No, I'm not all me. So please excuse me. While I tend to how I feel. But now the dreams and waking screams. That ever last the night. So build the wall, behind the crawl. And hide until it's light. So can you hear your babies cryin' now? Still the window burns. Time so slowly turns. And someone there is sighing. Keepers of the flames. Do ya feel your name? Can't you hear your babies crying?” - Metallica

So is this a definite deal, or are they just tooling around about it? Why can't they address these issues when I'm out of work at 5:30!!!

What if they positioned WXRK, K-Rock, more to the Active Rock side(nu-metal and hard rock) and WNEW picked up an alternative music format?

Sample Future 'XRK Playlist:
Korn
Disturbed
Limp Bizkit
Nickelback

Sample Future 'NEW Playlist:
Strokes
White Stripes
Crystal Method
Unwritten Law

For some additional ideas of the format I'm talking about check out:

K-Rock always seems to be playing Chili Peppers when I tune in.

The only way O&A move is if Stern caves, and he won't ever cave.

Infinity in New York just really makes me laugh sometimes. Since they launched the FM tlak format on WNEW...

HOO-HOO, a talk show, is on Krock, a music station

Scott Ferrall does a sports talk show on an FM talker

Don Imus does his morning talk show on WFAN, an all-sports station.

I won't even harp on Eddie Trunk being on WNEW.

Everyone in the english speaking world knows that for this format to work at it's best, it needs it's #1 morning show and it's #1 afternoon drive show on the same station. Now, for the NY situation, I doubt it would happen.

But there are other ways around it. Granted, it's a format that would not be directly targeted at the 18 year old listeners of O and A. But if Infinity wanted to make a respectable FM Talker station, it could do so by just swapping a few other shows:

Keep HOO-HOO on KRock. Keep their cash cow happy.

WNEW: Move Imus to the morning slot, followed by D&M, O&A, and R&F. Demographic wise, you are still appealing to the one that counts : talk radio listeners. And as the hours progress, you get more into the target demo for R&F which seems the same or even younger than O and A.

WFAN: Move Mac and Sid to the morning slot, setup a mid-day show, AGAIN, with Steve Sommers and a partner. Keep Mike & Mad Dog in their current slot, move Joe Beningo to the PM slot, and have Ferrell do a local show for overnights. Ferrell's show was made to be an overnight show. His best numbers were in the overnight spot for Westwood One.


I know, it's not a lineup that would appeal to most O and A listeners. But let's face it, WNEW needs a big change. It needs people to know it exists. The current lineup doesn't do that. and I think the station could actually benefit by having a more diverse lineup. Ideally, an imus-Chick-O&A-R&F lineup might have been the best, but D&M would do.

american phsyco thats the best move that i have thought of forgot wfan was part of that cpy also. Movin Imus to morningson NEW should be the llogical thing to do since wfan has other shows that pulls in ratings and truthfully i enjoy Ferrel in the mornin im a sports junkie so good to hear sports the morning after a big game instead of havin to listen to Imus or Hook nose.
