| Hanger-On Registered: May. 02 | [toothless hick] Dem boys just ain't my brand of humor [/toothless hick] I am so sick of hearing about DC. I wonder why the ratings don't sound good? Because... Ah fuck it! There is a whole other thread for me to explain the reason. Also, I'd rather wait and hear it from the boys themselves, before I go believing rumors. They are probably worse than before, but that's to be expected after the debacle, the same the debacle which can be explained in another thread. Three letters: FDC! I like teh show! | ||||

A certain number of holmes get a box that will record what you are watching (I guess it works for cars for radio). You then fill out a form on you viewing habits and mail it in. Then they are calculated. It's very arbitrary and I don't think a realistic look at actual numbers. I spell more better than Tyson. "Excuse" x-k-o-o-s-e | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 02 | I was in the arbitron ratings last trend. I got their little diary booklet thing and started filling it out, if you listen to alot of radio (i do, in Philly, both rock stations, an alternative station, O&A and the Phillies games), and you gotta fill this damn thing out to the letter to i trashed it. ...fear in a handful of dust. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | According to DCRtv.com O&A are 15th overall (they were 14th last trend) and 9th 25-54 (they were 8th last trend. The trends don't mean all that much anyway the ones that really count are the seasonal books especially spring & fall, the spring book comes out next month. O&A were not the only ones to drop on JFK, D&M did also (from 2nd to 3rd overall). The trend didn't include what went down besides the bickering back & forth at the very end, started approx Feb 23 and ended May 24. | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jun. 02 | I dont care what the ratings here in D.C. are. I still listen everyday. Hoefully they wont get so bad they get yanked off the station. Most people here are in love with their music stations and wont even consider listening to any type of talk radio. The Stupid Cupid | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: May. 02 | "Fuck Washington. Get rid of the PC liberal white people, and it would be better." Yeah, I keep forgetting that New York is a conservative breeding ground - say "HI" to Hillary for me, sometime. "I am so sick of hearing about DC. " Welcome to the club - now you know how DC feels about NY. All of the shows at WJFK went down a smidge - however, the local shows (Don and Mike and The Sports Junkies) are still doing better, over all, than the others (Stern, O&A), which has got to be tough for them (WJFK) to explain - why the morning and afternoon drive shows are being outperformed by the WJFK shows on at lunch and dinner. (On a side note: have any other DC listeners noticed that the commercial breaks on WJFK seem to have gotten longer and longer? With the exception of the Stern - whose breaks have always been too long - and the Junkies, it seems they are a good 2 - 4 minutes longer than they use to be). "The trend didn't include what went down besides the bickering back & forth at the very end, started approx Feb 23 and ended May 24." Slap was right about this not taking into account the hissy fits the two shows had last month; I can imagine a spike in both shows, followed by a big drop off, but who knows (really) until the actual numbers come out. "Most people here are in love with their music stations and wont even consider listening to any type of talk radio." Which is ironic, because the music stations here suck (the bigger the city=the worse the radio). No, I don't think you can spin this that way - D&M did well in that time slot, O&A will do well too. WJFK just needs to keep them on long enough to build and regroup the listeners. And while the radio ratings may not be 100% accurate, they are accurate enough for the industry to support it.

The thing I hate are companies (yes they are comapnies out to make a profit) are so entrinched in the industry, they have no compitition, advertisers there word as gospel. I wishe there was some fair market compition. How much does an arbitron book cost?? I suspect they extort alot of money out of the radio stations for them. I spell more better than Tyson.

| Hanger-On Registered: May. 02 | D&M said on the air that their overall rating dropped from 2nd to 3rd, but that they are only .8 away from first place. Miniscule difference seperating top three shows. Did O&A ever discuss the ratings in any detail. They mentioned them at the beginning of the show...but never got back to the topic. They did make refence again to the fact that the station is looking for two possible three new programs. Does that mean R&F are on the fence:-( ARI | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | quote: I don't think it's that tough to explain - it is the "this isn't what I'm used to" theory. Downward trends aren't too fun, but the question is whether they think this is the bottom of the curve, or if there is still a way to go. When O&A came to WNEW they had to "purge" the audience, who was used to listening to "the home of rock and roll". Of Course, D&M will use this as an opportunity to say that O&A will never work....  2002 Crack Committee Objectives: (modified version)(You gotta try and believe....) 1.Hate the Braves with PASSION and extreme prejudice 1a. Try and go a week without having to punch a wall in frustration after watching the Mets play 2. 90 Wins and somehow get the Mets into playoffs this year 3. All 5 Starters have winning records this year 3a.Have team understand it is OK to get a hit with runners on base. 4. Mets win World Series (after divine intervention) | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: May. 02 | "Of Course, D&M will use this as an opportunity to say that O&A will never work...." Actually, D&M haven't mentioned O&A at all - aren't allowed to. Calls about O&A or WNEW get dumped left and right. They did mention that the entire station is sliding down, with theirs and the Junkies being the least severe. They did get a small slam in on Howard (who has dropped back to 6th in his time slot), getting beaten out by oldies, two "urban" music/talk shows, one other I can't remember (maybe a news talk show) and DC-101. Donnie Simpson is a DC institution, and even an old friend of Howards, and they've traded top ratings for years - it's being beat by Tom Joyner, the oldies station and DC-101's terrible Elliot in the Morning this is most embarrassing! Trust me - if DC-101 moved Elliot to the afternoon, and O&A in the AM, they could beat Stern in this market. (ok...now I guess I'm a PR genious...) S/H/I/T/ | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: May. 02 | "It's filled with LIAR's, Thieves and POOR FUCKING PEOPLE!" The liars and thieves are imports from across the country to work in politics (few people are FROM the Washington)...as far as being POOR, the average annual income in the DC area is the highest in the US. Even our poorest "poor" people are making $40K a year. S/H/I/T/ (Slug - I am paying under $1000 for a two bedroom in Arlington, view of DC - i've been in the building so long I'm paying less than what they are now getting for the 1 bed rooms).

| Psychopath Registered: Apr. 02 | Thieves = Policticans and all those who support them. Including but not limted to anybody who's income come's from TAXPAYER's! That would be about 90% of the people in DC! Welfare included. POOR FUCKING PEOPLE = all those in the ghetto or anyone who sit's on the porch all day instead of getting a real fucking job. (Working for the Government does not count) Please include people who have to many children and don't give a fuck about them. | ||||
