Something I came across on Radio Insight. The articles states that the radio division will keep a separate news operation from the Newspaper. I question how long that lasts. https://radioinsight.com/headlines/213472/chicago-public-media-to-purchase-chicago-sun-times/ Sent from my SM-G991U...

Back to the Big Apple again. The subject states it all. I just want to point out that the article cites that Audacy threatened a flip to a simulcast of 1010 WINS, citing a Podcast where the hosts discussed the whole issue from their side. I listened to that Podcast this morning through Apple...

Here's Lance Ventura's list from radioinsight.com, concerning the current watch list across the country. This gets updated periodically. https://radioinsight.com/headlines/215523/2021-post-christmas-format-change-watchlist/

I'm staying clear of the format it's becoming. Some insiders are pointing out that the AM signal it's simulcasting went digital only, so the content isn't considered "cleared" in New York. https://radioinsight.com/headlines/216919/wnbm-to-flip-to-talk/

I personally am not a fan of Sports Talk Radio, but a sale of a national brand in the Top 3 markets is interesting all the same. https://radioinsight.com/headlines/216860/good-karma-acquires-espns-new-york-los-angeles-chicago-properties/

As part of an interest to start growing some interest in this section, my aim is to start posting links to stories that I find interesting (format flips, big events, etc). This one is over a week old, but still interesting all the same...

On the other site that discusses solely radio, some posts are going up about AM stations going digital only. In my home market (Boston), we have one such station who recently went digital only. What's your take on AM digital? As an outsider, I look at it hypothetically. We make AM digital...

The more I look at radio news, the more I see EMF buying stations around the country. I have no complaints from a corporate perspective. It's virtually complaintless. They're well within their all regulations to do so. My question is what are listener's take on the loss of local stations to a...

Well. It looks like WAAF's 50 years as a rock station are done. https://radioinsight.com/headlines/184545/entercom-sells-waaf-boston-to-educational-media-foundation/ Personally, I hate when they say how the format will continue on HD Radio. That's just a national playlist of the songs with a...

Last night my wife walks in the house, asking me why I bought a remote from Dish. I looked at her confused. "I didn't buy a new remove from Dish." Couldn't even ponder if I did so when I had a few beers watching football last weekend. I haven't been on myDish in a while, and I haven't drank...

Every year stations go all Christmas. My question isn't whether or not to do it. My question is what's your take on doing right around Halloween in some markets? It's a cliche question, but one that interests me every year. My personal take is that we should allow the bird to be served. I...

I'm also a lurker on the Radio Discussions boards. This question popped up in the Boston Boards bu a poster named "thezak". I thought it would be fun to share ideas here as well. If you had the creative freedom to program FM or AM, what would you do? What more creative task in Boston radio...

In the latest round of major media companies stripping local stations of their identity, Alt seems to be the new moniker in the camp of Kiss, Mix, Magic, Jack, The River, The Bull, Nash, Q, The Fan, and so on. With Alt, one company doesn't hold a copyright on the name. So, does it help to use...

Entercom, CBS look to unload handful of Boston radio stations as part of merger - The Boston Globe Had an article from Philly, but I realized that people need to subscribe to read it. Here's one from the Boston Globe. Any thoughts?

In the era following the big shows being syndicated (Stern, Opie and Anthony, etc.) WBOS ( 92.9 Boston) just picked up WRIF (101.1 Detroit) Morning show Dave and Chuck The Freak. Is this beginning of an FM ressurection of syndicated morning programming?

I found this quick editorial, written by Lance Venta of Radio Insight, to be an interesting conversation piece. The basic premise is that the growing trend in radio is to give important sounding titles to positions that receive relatively low pay and are considered in some instances to be entry...

It's been written about across the internet. What are your thoughts about Entercom basically buying CBS Radio (offically a merger with Entercom controlling the new company)? I'm watching the Boston FM and AM bands closely, as the new company will be beyond the cap for ownership in a single market.

Being honest, I passed out on my couch last night after a long night of celebrating New Year's. I woke up and noticed that WBTS (Boston's new NBC O&O as of today) was not playing it's newscast that the guide stated, but it was playing infomercials instead. Also, it was playing advertisements...

That's right. Does anyone else in the Boston DMA notice that we are not getting the game via WBZ, but rather KDKA out of Pittsburgh? I know this isn't as irregular as one would think, but I find it interesting when it happens.

So, Greater Media (or whoever bought them out) owns a cluster of stations in the Boston Market. One station is WBOS. Historically, WBOS has kept the call letters, but jumped several formats over its fairly long history. The latest format is labeled as Alternative. It ran under the name Radio...

Here's a new one for me. It doesn't matter what channel I'm watching. Whenever I turn off my receiver and turn it back on, it automatically is on Disney Junior. This isn't a dire issue, but I'd like to be able to turn it on and have the channel I left off at there. Any suggestion as to what my...

The title says it all. What's your predictions? Also, I apologize for title misspell. I hate auto spell on cellphones.

I know that I have gone off on rants allot this topic in the past, but what is up with the state of terrestrial radio these days? Formats change all the time, but here in the Boston DMA, the wave is over saturation of country and pop. DJs are virtually the same cookie cutter discussions. Trying...

OK Stern Fans, this day had to come. Howard has his thread in the SiriusXM forum, but O&A didn't. UNTIL NOW!!! Time to add your thoughts on SiriusXM's A-Team (in my opinion)!!!!

Flipping through the program guide this morning I noticed that WENH is listed to be off the air until Monday. When I view the channel it is showing the sorry for the interruption screen. Now for me it isn't a big deal. Not only do I get the channel OTA, but the lineup is the same as WGBH in...
