i notice portland stations suck z100 movingfm jamminfm charlie ktro just name a few what yall think about this

I think this is already getting discussed in the "Z100 is bad radio" thread. But in answer to your question most are unlistenable on a regular basis. From my perspective and IMHO of course!

Oh, God...

DJ Fwesh srikes again!

Djfresh, I'm sure you are a nice guy, but your posts aren't the easiest to read.

Can you please try to use a CAPITAL letter at the start of each sentence, and a PERIOD (.)or EXCLAMATION POINT (!) or QUESTION MARK (?) at the end of each sentence.

Actually, just having complete sentences would be a good start! :-)

That way it breaks up what you have written and makes it easier to follow.

Thanks!

He is a shining example of today's run on texter. No punctuation or cap's...to slow...just ramble it out!

Do he everchek bak on the posts he leaves or do he just hit and run with the same thought every few day dude get you an i pod then you don't have to tune in to bad portlands suck stations
weall think you need to take anew line

I'm convinced djfresh is a journalism professor at the U of O, either trying to make a point, or just having some fun. (Although, I'm not sure journalism professor/having fun belong in the same sentence.) I know, others have explained who he is is, complete with photos, but even if that is true, he must be enjoying the attention! Whoever you really are, rock on!

Hi Redford,

DJ Frresh really IS a DJ at KPSU. You can tune into his show(s) at the following times:

The Fresh Connection, Fridays 1-3 p.m., Saturdays, 5-7 p.m.

or you could download the shows from the KPSU archives

www.kpsu.org

Is the message of "Djfrresh," then, to forget FM and listen to KPSU, instead?

Has it even been established that our "Djfrresh" and KPSU's DJ Fresh are the same person?

I stand partially corrected: the KPSU guy does spell his on-air name "DJ Frresh." However, the e-mail address given in the "Djfrresh" profile on this message board makes a reference to a "midwestdjfresh," so the jury is still out on this one.

I bet he can mix his sets seamlessly. The first human mash-up!

Redford, you are Djfrresh. We established this already, remember?

Yes. But who is Redford? Eh? Yeah - solve THAT, Barnaby.

There are very good reason's for people to cling to some anonymity in internet groups. There are at least 2 or 3 people who know what lies beyond my "Clark Kent" screenname and I probably know just as many in return. Would I ever let on about any....No Way! And after the time I have been a member it is a sure sign that nobody else does as well. I even knew the real Identity of the drunken poster last December and never revealed it to anyone but him...used his initials in a reply and made him sober up in a hurry! I figure it's not my place to reveal them and if they abuse their anonymity our moderator will oust them.
I have to take my hat of though to those who use there real names and email addresses...FatBorRoberts for one example has more guts than I do....and I think you can even take that literally if you want!

Omega3, when exactly did we establish I was djfresh?. I believe I posted that I was just doing a parody of him, that's all. Since then, several others have also parodied him. I love parody, but no, I am not "djf". (I'm sure using that acronym will create new rumors. Good times!) BTW, Redford is not just a screen name, it's a parental nickname and also a response to a former (perhaps still current) poster named Eastwood. But djfresh...just another interesting poster who keeps this board always fascinating! I'm sure this will clear all this up. Or maybe not.

If "Djfrresh" is somebody other than the air personality that hosts the Fresh Connection at KPSU, I'd like to be the first to say that the real DJ Frresh has a right to be outraged by this racist misuse of his name--even though that is just the name that he uses on the radio. I am not a person who considers himself a member of the "PC police," but look at the exchanges going on here: The person calling himself "Djfrresh" just pops up out of nowhere with very little understanding of how this forum works. For some unexplicable reason, he starts a discussion thread titled "DJ Fresh," but therein proceeds to discuss a subject not in any way related to The Fresh Connection show or anything that DJ Fresh is doing professionally. On top of that, his writing runs afoul of standard English conventions to the point that other forum participants complain that they have difficulty understanding his posts. If this is a joke, the joker is insinuating that Black people do not understand social protocols and that they are incapable of writing coherent sentences.

Also....Never really thought of this until your post Alfredo....but what if some looney popped in here with a DJ's handle and proceeded to bad mouth radio and the parent company the DJ worked for it could cause that person problems at their job and that ain't right! DO NOT pick a screenname that is the intellectual property or trade name of a real on air personality. If this is true then I would hope this person stops or gets stopped and gets a new screenname! alsoitisridiculousthewayherefusestoobservenormalblogstandardsforposting!

BTW...you notice not one reply from him after the drive-by threading! Drop a bomb and move on! What's up with this dude?

Just stirrin' up the pot, or so it seems.

It worked.

As for me, I'm just gonna move along to something else...

"i notice portland stations suck z100 movingfm jamminfm charlie ktro just name a few what yall think about this"

I've noticed Portland stations suck. Z100, Moving FM, Jammin' FM, Charlie, KTRO just to name a few. What do you all think about this?


..............

I'm gonna take off to the Great White North...AY.

Bad Radio:
Klyc.

"i notice portland stations suck z100 movingfm jamminfm charlie ktro just name a few what yall think about this"

I've noticed Portland stations suck. Z100, Moving FM, Jammin' FM, Charlie, KTRO just to name a few. What do you all think about this?

I have an opinion that Portland area radio stations do not seem to be operating to their potential. Some of those that I believe are in that category are using brand names rather than assigned call letters to identify themselves. Movin', Jammin', and Charlie, come to mind as well as KTRO. I would be curious if others have an opinion on this particular topic. I would appreciate your comments, and thank everyone who took the time to read this post.

As we move to the era of electronic ratings gathering, call letters will have less and less importance. Call letters say nothing about the station (unless they are calls like KEX which say we've been around forever!) Movin', Jammin', Easy, Light, etc etc all say something about the style or personality of the station. Such branding also makes it much easier to syndicate, multi-cast, or nationally broadcast the format.

Frequency remains important because it is still the address of the "store".

hope you realize my last post was made to educationalize the thread starter.....

As for your comment, initially they did make a station stand out, but when everybody does it it is no longer unique enough to have impact. you wind up with a MAJIC WARM KISSY MIXX MOVIN WOLF JACK MIKE mashup..... some one might tell me they listen to Charlie, but bet only half of them can tell me where to tune....

M-105, twelve twenty WGAR, WIXY twelve sixty, KOMO one thousand, KJR Seattle, channel 95, told me what and where and was memorable enough to remember years after those stations faded away

The "names" to some extent overpower the dial position, rather than compliment it.....

or so it seems to me.....

I can't even hear the number, 91 without thinking of KISN!

FOTM Radio

You figure out the acronym.

Flatulance Of The Mouth?

I was thinking "FLAVOR" but I like yours better! LOL

I honestly thought your remark was aimed at my comment and you were cursing Old Time Music!

You forgot Charlie TDANNER!

I don't like branding. I refer to stations by their call letters or frequency. Branding gets confusing. Too many brands, names, and they change to often, except for the "New Wolf". How many years are they going to keep saying "new"?
Should have kept KWJJ.... means it has been here forever. Ohh, that was 1080.
KWJJ has been country since Sammy Taylor started playing it on 1080. Wolf means...... just a bunch of noise.
Charlie, Jack, Wolf, ???? means nothing musically to me.

Was not aimed at any post as a response Semoochie. Just a general statement about most radio these days.

I just thought it was a funny coincidence.

roger: great analysis. Soooo true.

Semoochie.
Would not ever bash old time music. That includes Rock, Jazz, Neil Diamond, Country, Elvis, etc., etc. I may not listen to much more than Rock but at least old time music is "MUSIC" and not just "NOISE" like most stuff pressed onto CD platters and shoved in your face these days!

VENT Complete!

EDIT:
Never bash the music but the crappy stations are fair game!

DjFresh,
Are your gross grammatical errors intentional? It's so hard to read, and then decipher your posts. I'm not even trying to be funny. I'm just genuinely concerned and curious.

no racism or imposters here.
the grammical errors are in-fact a representation of the actual person.

his name is correct in the profile.

from knowing him in the past as engineer at kboo, before he got kicked out and moved on to kpsu, i can attest to the fact.

"I don't like branding. I refer to stations by their call letters or frequency. Branding gets confusing. Too many brands, names, and they change to often, except for the "New Wolf"."

Same here, really. Although in some respects call letter/frequency combinations can convey a "brand", especially if they are of stations particularly well-known or well-established in their markets (or elsewhere.)

81 KGO
KOMO 1000
KINK FM102
KBOO
62 KGW
KVAN
670 KBOI
94-7NRK
Sunny 910 (and it's been about 10 years since that one faded away!!).............

Heck, even just a simple "91.5" or "89.9" says quite a bit in itself!!

Now if I was a new face in the area having just moved from, say, London...and someone was to mention say "Charlie's FM" I'd probably end up giving them a blank stare..........

"'Charlie FM?' Who's he??"

(NOTE: That statement does NOT apply if heard on the air, as the current generation of CFM spots announces it as "97-1 Charlie FM." And I am still waiting to hear Beethoven or Gregorian Chants on Charlie..................)

Regardless, whenever I interact with listeners,
they almost always refer to the station they listen to by frequency alone. At least it's been this way since about 1996. In focus groups,
during research and when making personal appearences people seem to say "I listen to 102.3
and my girlfriend only listens to 101.3."
