A big HAHA to Blink! - BITENY - 09-10-2003

From what I'm hearing:
Steve Kingston didn't resign, Infinity is putting a nice spin on it. The station will go right at Lite FM. And Friday, Booker & Lopez along with the rest of the airstaff will be let go.
A couple of opinion comments:
While I'm no fan of Steve Kingston, I don't think it's fair to hang "Blink" on him. That came from far above on the Infinity Food Chain. He was stuck with trying to implement a questionable new format in a market that just plain didn't have an opening for another female oriented CHR. I don't think anyone was going to make that work.
If it turns out to be true that Infinity will do what it should have done in the first place--go after WLTW--that's certainly an endorsement for the many on this forum who argued for that right from the start.
And, finally, it also implies that Infinity now sees WCSB-FM for what it is... a station with a locked in audience that isn't likely to be expanded by playing "Whitney Houston" (or anything else). Rather than trying to fool with it in an effort to morph it into a WLTW competitor, this strategy implies they will just leave it alone and establish a new station to compete for the "Lite" music audience.
Stay tuned...

Blink NEVER had a chance.
good riddance awful format.
and now, the Lopez family will have two (TWO!!!) official has-beens.
Funny, I remember a time when the boys mentioned how NEW would sink like the Titanic (cue up C. Dion impersonations...) and how the station would become "Wnew-Lite"
The boys ALWAYS knew that the station would die after they left/were dropped...

It will never be the same. And I doubt they'd say "I think we should bring back the all talk format w/O&A..."

Infinity deserves it, the concept was a stupid idea.

It's sad to see what was such a great radio station, even before the boys, go to complete shit. I think one of the funnier moments was Scott Muni playing really oddball shit, and trying to announce it with a straight face. What I would like to see is a return to the Old Q-104 days when they played nothing but hair bands and shit like that all day. Eddie Trunk kind of stuff all day. But that's probably to much to ask.

these kind of things, i'll just believe when i see it or actually HEAR it is more appropriate. lite fm would be more gooder than what it is now though.
