Is WFNZ in trouble?

[RevJ]

I'm one of those that enjoys listening to WFNZ - although Marc James almost broke me. 

As I have been listening lately, it is nerve wracking to hear station promos (not ads, just clips of their shows) repeating themselves - over and over and over and over and over and over.  Some track back to much earlier in the season.  I get that promos can't be cut daily, but the staleness is getting ridiculous. I keep waiting to hear a clip of the Gettysburg address. i have also heard callers referring to it, the host at the time got ticked and cut them off.  

I don't know the radio business, but it seems like they would do anything to avoid replaying these clips if they had something else to run - like more ads.  I would have assumed that advertisers would have been flocking to them during the championship run, but doesn't seem that way.  This practice of repetition, coupled with them going off the air in my area (I listen via the app now) has me wondering if the are in trouble.

I'm not sharing to get people to trash hosts or guests, just wanted to know if they are going to be with us in the future.

Yea, 610 is ok...I do like 730 alot better though. 

 

 

And fug Marc James and his wack ass Matt Ryan jock sniffing self.

The upcoming Huddle radio station will take over the airwaves.

I pretty sure they're fine.  But I'm sure local terrestrial radio is suffering a little with satellite and podcast. But I think there is always demand for local sports talk radio.

But what I do fine is the funny is the show promo for The Call-Up. The guy doing the promo makes it seem like Colin and Nate have met their life goal of being Mid-Day sports talk radio host.

Why do they ask stupid questions like this:

 

Why would Cam lose endorsements because he walked out of a press conference?

It's pretty silly to even think that would happen.

I listen pretty often on TuneIn...the repetitive ads drive me up a wall.

Lol the app receives a different ad allotment than the live radio station gets. It's mainly PSAs and promos of their own shows on the app, but you get the regular ads if you listen to it through an actual radio. Why that is I have no idea, but it's always been like that. As far as I know, their ratings are fine, The Mac Attack just made some prestigious list a couple of months ago. I know Kroeger was dropped by a Winston-Salem affiliate many months back, but that's the only actual negative thing I know of.

730 had a car drive into their studio Monday. Not suprised if you see where they're located on Morehead.

I stream it sometimes here in Raleigh, but dont know everyone's names, maybe u guys can help me out.

I like the early morning guys, but the guys on 10-12 today I just had to turn it off.  I think one of the guys is a Patriots fan

It's to generate discussion and callers. If nobody calls then no show.

Most of the media is trying to get your attention and will do literally anything. 

Dateline once faked a crash test on a car. They didn't do it becaue they didn't like the car. They know how to stir the pot.

You just inadvertently helped Franks show.

That would be Colin and Nate. Colin is a Panthers fan, but Nathan Conley is annoying as hell during football season because of his Patriots love. At least Nate isn't as bad as Marc James or Brett Jensen though because he's only annoying during football season. MJ and BJ were annoying 365 days a year.

I know why they do it.

I was just pointing out that it's ridiculous to think that Cam would lose endorsements because he walked out of a press conference.

I think people get annoyed by the fact that most of the hosts aren't Panthers fans and they let too many non-Panther fans call in.  College basketball season is boring as well.  I used to listen a lot but got bored.  The morning guys aren't bad sometimes though.

The question doesn't have to be logical.
