Re: [IRCA] Local Radio Is Getting Tuned Out.

Stephen Thanks for posting this! While we all lament the continuing decine of local radio, the article really begs the question of whether it really matters. More and more folks listen to national shows; and when a local affiliate drops a national show such as Hannity or Rush for a local

Re: [IRCA] Local Radio Is Getting Tuned Out.

Mike, I am fortunate here in Iowa. Boone has KWBG. I get High School sports, they tell you what the school lunches are. In the morning they call the one of the local breakfast places to find out what they are serving. They have some syndicated programming, but you can walk over to the

[IRCA] TP's for Wednesday 11/02/11

It was a very good morning for Asian stations.  With the Solar Indices what they  were, I would think Asian stations would be down.  Powerhouse Japanese stations, very strong today.  Taiwan with good reception on 738, steam rolling over Tahiti's fair signal.  With the Palstar tuner tuned to 774,

[IRCA] NHK2 sign-off at 1520 utc

Even here in the big smoke of Victoria, B.C. Canada wedged in between the Vancouver and Seattle markets we have some home grown stations who have remained, in part, unchanged since earlier days - like CFAX 1070, which during a very, very rare snow storm (hence the reference of 'Storm of the

Re: [IRCA] Local Radio Is Getting Tuned Out.

Here on the Northern OR Coast, local KAST was on the air 24/7 with local news and reports when our huge storm hit back in 2007 with wind gusts of 170 MPH in places. That storm when on for 3 days with winds 100+ MPH. Tom Friel OM at KAST went out in the winds right on Youngs Bay trying to keep the

Re: [IRCA] Local Radio Is Getting Tuned Out.

A close friend of mine who was the production director for KFAB-1110 was one of 5 people that Clear Channel canned here.  So this means...what?...that Clear Channel is trending towards having ALL of its stations carry nationally syndicated programming 24/7?  No local programming (and therefore,

Re: [IRCA] Local Radio Is Getting Tuned Out.

I suppose Sioux Falls is probably the biggest market not affected by this. We have no Clear Channel stations and I think KMNS and KWSL in Sioux City are the closest on AM. Both carry sports so I wonder if one or the other will go dark or be sold in the near future. The 5 Sioux Falls

I know someone who used to work for one of the Cumulus Media (dba Results Radio) stations in Sioux Falls..he used to brag how they ran 25 minutes of commercials every hour. Wow... to brag you can fit in maybe 8 songs an hour? LOL. Paul On Wed, Nov 2, 2011 at 10:39 PM, Tim Hills

Re: [IRCA] Local Radio Is Getting Tuned Out.

Paul, That would be KMXC-97.3. Many years ago (Under a different call) they barely squeezed in the TOH and mandatory PSAs with the occasional commercial. Now it seems whenever I scan the FM band there's a commercail for somethingoranother on 97.3. I said most FM stations. I rarely listen to
