    [New York] JJ Kennedy, retiring?

    This is JJ’s last day on WOR — she’s “retiring” along with John Gambling. JJ is an incredibly talented broadcaster with a wonderful sense of humor — real humor as opposed to the kind of superficial giggling we hear so much of these days on radio and TV. Anyone care to guess where JJ...

    [Other Topic] An open letter to Eric Rhoads owner Streamline Publishing Inc. & Radio Ink

    I saw a post on an engineering board that said for a few minutes on the afternoon of 11 Dec, about 5 PM CST, radiodiscussions.com was up. He said he was logged in with his existing cookies but had no posting privileges. He said the main page contained an option to become a premium subscriber...

    [New York] WOR to announce new morning show

    I listened to a few minutes to Elliott Segal's DC gig yesterday morning. A few thoughts: I understand what CC is trying to do with WOR. The station has traditionally lagged behind WABC's ratings by about half (at least 6+) and I suspect the younger demos are abysmal. They need to shake...

    [New York] WOR to announce new morning show

    I have and unfortunately it doesn't work at all. I was a huge fan of Doug's overnight show because the simple format let him showcase his talent for reacting to the day's news, storytelling and featuring some of the music he obviously loves. The morning show is just the opposite -- too many...

    [New York] WOR to announce new morning show

    I suspect Segal will set up shop in Manhattan for awhile and do the show from WOR's studios, then quietly move back to DC. That's what Doug McIntyre did when he came from LA to start "Red Eye Radio" on WABC.

    [New York] WOR to announce new morning show

    I heard Mark was planning to discuss the new lineup this morning but I forgot to listen. Should be part of the first half hour of today's podcast. When the new schedule kicks in John & Ken are gone from 710. The 9-10 hour was a simulcast of KFI's 6-7 pm PT hour so I'll continue to listen...

    [Other Topic] RD still alive on Facebook....for now

    JSB, I see your post on Facebook but there's no link. It just says, "Or post your ideas here as RD is as dead as the link above," but there's no reference to where. Maybe it's because I don't have a Facebook account? I was hoping people from the rd forums would start showing up here by now...

    Welcome to SatelliteGuys Local Radio Discussion!

    Unfortunately what you say appears to be true. When something no longer serves your purpose, you have the choice of throwing it way or giving it away. The latter is generally the right thing to do. If lack of monetization is the only issue I can't see what they have to gain by not letting...

    [New York] Talk Radio

    Rumor has it that Anthony Weiner is in the running for a talk show on WABC or WOR. Cumulus has later denied this.
