From All Access:
SANDUSKY Rhythmic AC KQMV (MOVIN 92.5)/SEATTLE taps QUEEN B/KXLY Hot AC KZZU/SPOKANE PD BRANDON "MAYNARD" COHEN as PD, effective JANUARY 8.

COHEN, who previously held down the APD/MD/nights post at Top 40 KKRZ (Z100)/PORTLAND, replaces LISA ADAMS, who moved to PORTLAND's MOVIN' (CBS' KVMX, MOVIN 107.5) as PD in NOVEMBER.

Is this the guy who did nights at KDUK a couple years ago?

Yes!

Congrats to Maynard...he's a rockstar!

Wanna be Seattles first MOVIN STAR?

took em long enough.

So Lisa wasted all that time listening to demos from people who had no shot but never knew it. did she take the demos to portland? obviously Seattle MOO-vin won't need em! NO sleight meant to Maynard, certainly more than qualified, but geez why didn't they just ask for what they actually wanted in the first place.

Wonder how many demos Lisa received in SEA? Can't believe not O-N-E- was good enough to hire. If that was the case, then the AD SHOULD NEVER HAVE RUN!

Plain and simple, If you have no opening don't run an ad. If you want rezooms for the EEO file, state it, I'm sure you will get dozens. OA jobs are scarce enough without posting openings that you have no intention of filling.

So, how long before Seattle advertises for a "SECOND" MOOVIN jock?

This was a pathetic attempt by Lisa, but really, lets face it, Voice tracking will take over most of these pathetic movin stations. This is a total flavor of the month station. In one year ALL of the Movin stations will be gone! Remember the 80's stations that were hot for a while?? RIP MOVIN! I feel bad for all of the jocks that are working at that station. CBS fucked up big time by bringing this station to portland. The people in portland have spoken and nobody is listening.

Beano - clearly you aren't talking to the right people because Movin' is on fire. They are on the verge of being #1 18-34 in Seattle, and had a huge debut in the Portland monthlies. The people in Portland and Seattle have spoken and A LOT of people are listening.

As for Maynard, he is a great programmer and a great human being. I wish him all the best.

RE: "movin' is on fire!"...um, have you ever thrown gas on wet logs to tried to get them to start?

Enjoy the "big flames" while you can. I'm sure the guys at Charlie can tell you more about this...

>>The people in portland have spoken and nobody is listening.

Again, Beano, I ask you the question I asked in another thread, are there any ratings out yet covering the beginning of the "Movin'" time frame, or is there other research to back your claims?

What people have spoken, and in what forum?

>>So, how long before Seattle advertises for a "SECOND" MOOVIN jock?<<

Well, actually they have their second jock - someone named "Kaz".

>>The people in Portland and Seattle have spoken and A LOT of people are listening.<<

And that was the same thing that happened when Jack/Charlie/Fickle/Bob hit the air. C'mon back in a year or so and let's see how things are going.

Movin's just another fad format. It's Jammin' Oldies 2.0 with currents.

Shining some light on Beano's comments about Movin' Seattle, judging from the 3.5 (P2) 12+ rating and a 3.2 (P1) 12+ rating, it's quite possible that they are doing fairly well in the market. That is 8th place (P2) and 11th (P1) with the top station only pulling a 5.1 12+.
Charlie also seems to be holding it's own in Portland, not as well as it did a year ago but still doing ok 12+

What were the Monthly numbers like?
Does anyone have #'s?

...It's Jammin' Oldies 2.0 with currents....

which looks good on paper, Now promote the hell out of it, sell the hell out of it, and get some live talents with passion and fire to have fun with it.

that doesn't seem to be part of the equation anymore... Alas, a pity.

Could some of these "HOT NEW" formats be falling flat because of the way they quietly slip onto the dial with a unintrusive jukebox presentation?

No, Maynard is fine, he isn't an issue, but the launches seem flawed.

No, Maynard is fine, he isn't an issue, but the launches seem flawed.

Yeah. Maynard is a good jock, but the format is flawed and the lack of variety will get people movin on down the dial. I keep trying to give that station a second chance, but the format is truely unlistenable. Someone please tell me how Mariah Carey& Boyz to Men "One Sweet day" gets you Moovin??? Heard that the other day on Movin and thought WTF??? That is the slowest sappiest song ever.

CBS is too Fuckin Cheap to get live air talent and wont spend an extra penny on trying to get "movin" off the ground. This station has no chance in hell, not only is the format horrible, they sound second rate to charlie, and Movin play the same EXACT same songs day after day. No offices are going to be listening. How many times do we need to hear Tone Loc "wild thing"???? Seriously, that song is so BURNT out!!! With Dr. Doug and Skippy coming to Charlie Movin is SCREWED! The more music apect won't work because the music is not good enough to carry them through. Can't wait to hear Lisa Adams Voice Track for 7 hours a day, absolutely awful radio! It should be a crime to put on such bad radio! Although if it was a crime, Z100 and K103 would be in the slammer a long time agao.

"One Sweet Day" was the #1 song in America for 16 straight weeks! Someone must like it.

Hey smoochie! Remembeer the station is called MOVIN not Snozin!

All I can say is while pushing buttons looking for some music, I tend to stay on Movin more often and longer than others. More than Charlie or KHITS, which I usually find boring or not playing anything I like. I am not in Movins demo but the selections I have heard have been fine. I have not heard Tone Luc once on the station that I can remember. I don't mind slow songs mixed in, also. You can say that Charlie has a larger playlist all you want but everytime I land on it, it is either something I heard recently or don't like. My preference is 50's and early 60's but I also like a good strong bass beat. And dance music. But I won't listen to rap or current stuff like on z100 or 95.5. Just because it has a good strong bass and will vibrate pictures on walls 3 blocks away while driving down the street does not mean it is good.

But then, sometimes I just want to listen to some music from the Baroque period. Pachelbel,Bach,Handel........

Just my opinion. Yours may vary.

"CBS is too Fuckin Cheap to get live air talent..."

This is so true, just don't mention KINK, KUPL, KLTH or even KUFO.

So you think CBS will actually spend money on LIVE TALENT??
Highly doubtful. I will be shocked if they get a full LIVE air staff, but I doubt that will happen. They will have Lisa ADAMS voice track a 7 hour shift, 7 days a week. Radio at its WORST!!

>>The people in portland have spoken and nobody is listening.

One more time, Beano, are there any ratings out yet, or is other research available to back your claims? What people have spoken, and in what forum?

Are you making this stuff up or not?

I just saw the second trend for Seattle and their Movin' station is tied for #6! It looks like they're on the right track.

Lets remember that Seattle and Portland are two completely different cities. Bob Rivers does well in Seattle but tanked in portland. Just because Movin is doing well in Seattle does not mean it will be a hit in Portland. Even if movin does have a good first book, that still doesn't mean much. Lets see by next year if it still is even on the radar screen.

The irony here is how most everyone dogged Charlie and said it would never last.Now it's Movin.What's next?I guess if you say all change is bad your bound to be right some of the time.

Completely fair comments, Justin, and so true, just as the Jack/Bob/Charlie trend has seen mixed results due to many variables in different markets and differing programming strategies.

Guilty as charged, Joe. I'm still completely at a loss as to why Charlie has been among the more successful of the genre, if you can even call it a genre. But I can't argue too much with success.

Charlie has more of a mass appeal than movin does! Can we all agree on that??(Musically speaking) If you don't like one song on charlie, you can wait and see if you like the next one. With Movin, you either love the station or you hate it, no inbetween. Thats why I think more businesses will be listening to charlie. THey have a HUGE variety of music, not all of it is good, but so what??? When was the last time you could hear Green Day Followed by Stevie Wonder followed by Snoop Dogg on one station??? I'll admit I dogged on Charlie at first, but the more I listen to the station the more Im loving it. I don't know about you, But I love all types of music, Rap, Rock, Motown, 80's ect. I don't want to hear just dance music. And I would bet if you looked into most peoples Ipods you would find a variety of different styles of music, not just one.

Then is a Charlie type station just MIXX with more uptempo?

Movin is being labled Jammin with currents.

So is the next big thing COMPLETE COUNTRY?
Todays country with just the right combination of classics from the 70s 80s and 90s
