Re: [AsburyPark] Save GRock
Grock was just a shell of the station that the old 106.3 was. As far as sponsoring shows in the area, most of the time radio stations aren't bringing these acts to the area they are just promoting the show through advertising. The acts will still come, the venues will just have to find other places to promote the shows from. The old 106.3 routinely packed clubs with the shows they sponsored. I've been to shows that Grock promoted that only brought a dozen people to The Saint. It didn't surprise me at all that the station changed formats. Many of the old 106.3 fans bolted when the corporation took over and judging by the way they sometimes struggled with the shows they promoted, they didn't have a fraction of the audience numbers. charlie wrote: > > Havn't posted in awhile...

Re: [AsburyPark] Save GRock
Like MIke just said, there are no hosts yet, so it has that cheesey sound to it. G Rock had the same thing when they first came out, most stations do until they find real hosts. I don't think its likely any of the previous hosts will carry over. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!

Havn't posted in awhile... I remember the original station when I was in HS, FM106.3. That was a good station... Then it sold and out came G rock. G rock was pretty bad when it first came out, for a few years actually... But It got better. I turned on the station the other day unaware of the change.. Wow, it's pure garbage! In time it may get better, the same way G rock did. Who knows. But it's already off to a bad since they are promoting a cheese based music style. G rock differed, they did suck at first, but at least they started out with "heart" promoting what the station had alwasy been about. Who knows, we will see what happens.

Re: [AsburyPark] Save GRock
They are using a music service that they get off of a satellite sort of a filler (In radio it is called stunting). They will be hiring a staff with real DJ types soon, I don't know whether they will be live or voice-tracked (pre-recorded to sound like they are live). Their rating3 that past quarter were not that great. http://www.radioandrecords.com/RRRatings/DetailsPage.aspx?MID=170&RY=2008&RQ=4&MP=0&OTHER=2&MN=Monmouth-Ocean&MS=NJ&MR=51&12P=1033700&UP=1/8/2009&SU=S&BPER=5.6&HPER=6.8&OPER=&NSD=&CE=0 You can petition the station all you like but it seems they have made their decision. Since it is a new format you can't really tell who the sponsors will be so you can't complain to them either. The FCC, allegedly, does not control content so they can't help out either. If it succeeds you will hear more of it if not they will try something else with the two frequencies.

I, personally, thought the radio station was the best in the area, and one of the only, if not the only, alternative station. Now it plays "hits" like Beyonce and such and has no onair talent at the moment. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
