ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

two r's in herring.

I'm tired of herring as well. Try Sardines.

Sardines? I thought we were talking about Movin', not The Fish.

"Hi, it's Ann Chovie with you on 104.1 The Fish..."

Good morning, you're listening to 104.1 The Fish, My name is Salmon Ella.

Afternoon's on the Fish with "Red" Snapper just for the Halibut!

FISH NAMES!!!??? AHHHHHGGGGHHH!!!

After spending time in a Froggy station I have to say the whole theme name tied to the format is lame and gets old after a day! But never mind me, I just like to CARP!

And now bringing you today's Paris Hilton news for the umpteenth time here's "Moldy Chum" and after that traffic with "Lan Shark"!

Wait...what was this thread supposed to be about??? OH...never mind...this is more betterer!

Hmmmm. (sinff, sniff) I thought something smelt bad. It must be all these rotten fish puns (present company included)!

As for me, I'm gonna turn on "stagmant FM", and crank up the subwoofer. I totally dig that groovy bass sound.

I have to go to the Sturgeon later so I thought i'd listen to the FISH on the way there. I've been kind of Cod and Clammy lately so I thought I see what gives! I sure hope Dr. Gill is not busy...I sure hate waiting.

Kip Addotta would be proud!

Me thinkst djfresssssssssssssssh is too busy playing with his Rainbow (trouser) Trout to care about what songs anyone plays.

LOL....and it's probably under the size limit and not a keeper anyway!

"I don't care who ya are, that's funny right there."

Git-r-Done

KARP The Sound and Smelt of the Pacific.

The entire Fish airstaff ... working for scale.

A Fish music test is different from others, because the music hooks are baited.

Do you have to be a Pisces to work at the Fish?

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish, and when he finds out that he needs to buy all the gear, get a license, make sure everything is in season and of legal size then has to clean them, he'll just go get a burger.........

Do you have to be a Pisces to work at the Fish?

NO....you can be an Aquarius as well!

..or own an aquarium....

Hey djfresssssssssssssssh

Remember to observe the catch and release rule!
HA

Roger, you have a future in greeting cards!

I just love Dolly Varden, shes such a great singer,
Dolly Parton, THAT IS!

"Roger, you have a future in greeting cards!"

Actually I have a "Present" in Greeting Cards,

Trouble is I don't get enough hours.

(I've been with Hallmark for 10 years)

It looks like I called that one pretty well!

..Now read my palm and tell me the future...

You will meet a tall, dark stranger.

great, just what I need... another strange person in my life. I must be due for some enchanted evening.

Last time, I went to a card reader. She put down a 7 and a king in front of me, and a queen and a jack in front of her, then took all of my money.

bean.... It's not as funny when you explain it.

So your favorite song must be "The Jack" form AC/DC then!

Roger.....he was asleep in his "Shell" and missed "School" during that lesson!

Movin is one poor excuse for a station.. they ever going to put any talent on that station?

I'm hearing people. They may be tracked but they're on the station!

CBS is putting NO MONEY INTO MOVIN!! One of the worst sounding stations I have ever heard! I feel bad for Stacey Lynne, the only talent on that station, If I was her I would bail.

Hey BOB, WAKE UP! Cbs has no plans of keeping Movin around much longer. That is why the station sounds so bad. Stacey Lynn should join the Charlie Morning show. Its painful to hear a great talent on such a POS station like Movin.

The last I heard, they were still planning on 80s Dance for their HD2 channel. That sounds pretty compatible.

Yet, they have been advertising for what seems like forever for talent, and even run a banner ad along with mooooooovin Dallas on AA....

Why waste the time? Pull the frickin trigger and put a staff in there, or forget it.

Maybe they are waiting to see if Seattle and other moooooovin are trending up before commiting, but it still sounds like they are clueless and uncommitted to the concept. To me if you flip, then promote the hell out of it and build a success. Don't dangle a new format and hope it catches on. Radio on the cheap is usually a failure!

Los Angeles's Movin is TANKING! According to RRonline there 12 plus numbers are 0.9
Expect a format change on LA's Movin coming soon!

Movin 93-9 hasn't even been able to match the old KZLA's level of ratings success. Rick Dees must be wondering what he got himself into.

None of the movin stations have great numbers.....period!
Can we please get on with the next flavor of the month station?

It's still doing well in Seattle. I don't know of anywhere else.

Ah radio, now we can't even get around to staffing the station at all. A set of great DJs would help Movin' so much. Meanwhile the corporation is asleep at the wheel. What a perfect "snapshot" of our poor ole industry.

the important thing is they are looking. Might not ever add anyone, but at least they advertise that they are looking!

I applied, no response. How professional.

Meanwhile they're soundin' rather bleek.

They seem to be playing a lot of Reggae these days.

You said..."I applied, no response. How professional."

All too common NO REPLY=NO CLASS

Want the list?

It's not just the radio industry - this is now a standard practice. For whatever reason, they're not interested in contacting the applicant any further for any reason.
I've also heard that people who complain about 'lack of professionalism' are considered less desirable to perspective employers.
Just move on.

Who did you hear that from, a professional?

So these "Prospective Employers" don't have time to extend a little common courtesy, especially in an age where so much contact is transmitted via email?

I guess you are right. Since so many people no longer are taught basic people skills like courtesy and politeness, then you can't expect people who lack those skills to extend them...

I have to agree. Move on. You whiners don't want to work for an employer who consider you less desirable.

Remember in today's world it's GIMME, GIMME, GIMME... ME, ME, ME FIRST, Then ME AGAIN... I have mine, screw you...

The following word are now obsolete..........
groovy....
gnarly....
please....
thank you....
Sir....
Madam or Ma'am....


"lack of professionalism" I guess it is a phrase subject to interpetation.

EMAIL....well hell there's your problem. Your application is probably winding up in the corporate SPAM filter's. Send it snail mail!

I can't help but agree with this. And this is not being professional, it's being a solid, decent person, who happens to be doing professional grade work. Somewhere that all got turned around backwards --into some entitlement, made from thin air --just like the money that comes along for the ride.

Since we abandoned the gold standard, our currency is essentially valued on trust. It is a promise to return value on demand, in exchange for greater ease of doing business in the first place. Seeing as how dollars are the life-blood of business, shouldn't the foundation of what dollars really mean be there too --or do we just somehow forget that part, and hope nobody notices?

(And people wonder why the value of the dollar is falling... there are political reasons for this, but there are simple and basic human reasons for this too. Those are the ones I'm posting about here.)

If there isn't time to engage people in a solid way, perhaps there isn't time for a lot of things. Not a decent potential employer, IMHO.

That all cuts both ways.

This world is what we make of it. I encourage all of you to vote with your feet. Doing otherwise is just not worth it.

I am a professional. Active, gainfully employed and I say my please and thank yous. I do follow up on queries, and expect to be followed up on. Did it ever occur to anyone that if there really is not time to exchange with others, said query is lazy in and of itself? Believe me when I say I think hard sometimes about how I want to go about bringing new people into the fold, or purchasing services, products, etc... I don't want to waste a lot of others time, just to shave some of my costs.

Looking for a job, requesting quotes for services, purchasing products, etc... are not lottos. There is a cost associated with these things. Composing the query takes time, materials, bandwidth, etc... That cost applies to all parties, doesn't it? Consuming others, in a wasteful or lazy manner, really boils down to a minor theft, IMHO.

Forming solid business relationships is important for a reason. There isn't time to just query everybody all the time, for everything, just looking for the best deal, on the cheap always. So, we establish trust relationships so that all parties know the business being done is being done in a solid way that mutually benefits both parties.

Still think this does not matter? Look at all the money being spent on machines toward the goal of having them handle these things! That's all find and good, and should be encouraged as we own the machines and they work for us. But we don't own people in like kind, though a lot of companies like to think so.

When I don't get solid exchanges in return, I remember and I do vote with my feet. I also take some time to avoid wasting others time. No job, no amount of money is worth lowering ones simple standards of decency and just being human.

Holding true to ones principles is sometimes not easy. My own experience involves changing jobs, careers, going hungry, etc... Guess what? I really didn't live any less when all is said and done. Sometimes I think people are just spoiled and lazy. I'm just not gonna go there, and I don't care what it actually means, work wise. I used to, got put to the test and learned it really was not as big of a deal as people make it out to be.

My years in manufacturing taught me something elementary that appears to apply in more places in life than I thought at the time; namely, "There is always time to do it right the first time."

The rush to get yours, mine, make money, etc... is really an excuse for walking this world in a state of detached indifference. Yeah, that's PC for lazy and uncaring. It's all about finding reasons to not do it right the first time and push the blame off onto others.

At the end of the day, there is time to exchange with others properly. Period, end of story. Anyone that pressures any of us to believe otherwise is just making excuses. What those excuses are really does not matter. Could be "Cost", or "Process", etc... Who cares?

I personally believe surrendering these things is nothing short of getting paid to devalue ones own self. We've words for that, and they are not pretty. Sadly, people have prices too. Sometimes they are fairly low.

Go figure.

Missing....

Exactly what I said, but in much greater detail and with less sarcasm!

Unfortunately, those less inclined won't find your post a revelation.

Manners are just a foreign concept to some........

PULL THE PLUG NOW!

PULL THE PLUG NOW!
The courtesy discussion, 107-5's current format, or both?

107-5's HORRIBLE format!

Maybe that's why everytime I see this thread title come up, I think it says "Movin BM".

;+0

If I'm looking at the 12+ ratings correctly, it seems their numbers for the current format are just above the last book of the 80s Hits format and increasing albeit at a snail's pace. If the ratings for the demographic they are chasing is following a similar form, they may not be in that bad a shape. They really need 2 more books to see whether or not this is working for them.

Movin does not have a morning show
Movin has only 1 live jock
A Very stale playlist
No Contests, no nothing!
It seems to me that they have given up on the station, They are not spending any money on it because they already know its a failure.
If they really wanted to win the ratings race, they would be putting moe effort into the station. They would have a bigger staff, they would be doing contests and having fun.
That station continues to brag about how the station is all about having fun and making you feel good, yet it is by far the most boring, bland station on the fm dial! I feel bad for Stacey, who is a great talent but is stuck on a station with zero potential to go anywhere. When management could care less about a station, you're pretty much on your own, and its quite apparent that CBS has given up on Movin.

So newflyer, Are you one of the new breed that finds courtesy an unknown concept, or just have such low expectations? I guess if you expect to be treated with no respect, then you probably give the same.

the downfall of jammin 95 they number 16 in the ratings books i think they need come with better hiphop format what yall think they should do

the down fall of jammin 95 in the winter books they was number 16 z100 was ahead of them they need a major shakeup what yall think

Most of us think they should hire you djfrresh -- so that you will keep busy and stop posting dumb comments here. what you think of that?

Posting on a thread attacking a radio station isn't a very wise move if you are seeking employment at that station.

Egor,
the days are numbered with Movin. That format has another book, and then it will be gone. Just an FYI, they have no intention of hiring anymore jocks or putting an ounce of effort into that station. I'd wait tell the format flips, which shouldn't be too much longer, Than Re-apply.

"LIGHT BULB"

Hmmm....Has anyone considered that they had no intention of keeping it in the first place and have been building on a new format while under the guise of this one? Possibility ya know! Could be a nationwide flip with all movin stations all at once or maybe a re-launch! The add's for Jock's could just be a smokescreen to cover what is really going on!

no, not nationwide. too many different companies signed on to MOOOOOVIN.

Re: the ads.... What's worse,advertising for help when you have no intention of hiring, or just running a jockless or vted liner format?

At least with the latter they aren't yankin yer chain.

jammin 95 in 16 place what yall think about that will they reshape the format

OK...then maybe just a few markets were it is not fairing well. It was just a thought to ponder on.

fresh, you posted the same thought 3 times... We get it. What you thoughts on it. Maybe 16th is good enough for them. Mediocre = no expectations, and hard to go down from there!

DJ Fresh:
Did your show beat Z100? Jammin'? Movin'? If not, stop flaming them and either send your cover letter, resume, and demo; all explaining how adding you to their station would benefit them, -or- just stop bashing them. Too many folks have royally messed themselves up because they underestimated the power of this website.

Roger (response to pre-DJ Fresh posts):
When I was in high school (mid-90s), we were told to expect that we would be demanded to be as courteous as possible, but don't expect a reply from companies that aren't interested, because they have better things to do with their time.

Placing a want ad implies interest. A qualified applicant should expect, at the very least, a response of receipt of materials submitted.

That is the courtesy, not a critique of submitted materials, not an explaination of why or why not the application was rejected, just a simple form letter thanking the applicant for their interest.

Anything less shows a lack of respect and professionalism.

Also if you decide to send anything via Email, please realize this is not the best method and many corporate mail filter's may sideline it and the recipient may never even get it in the first place and therefore no reply in return. Snail mail is still the best option when sending anything to any prospective employer.

Include a "This is to Acknowledge That I, ____________, Have Recieved Your Package for Consideration" pre-printed letter and a postage paid envelope with the material and I bet you would. Make it easy for them to reply to receiving your goods!

Radio, PROFESSIONAL??????? HAHAAHAHA
Radio and professional do NOT go hand and hand. The things I have seen gone on at radio stations have scarred me for life!

maybe movin should hire djfresh. he's certainly memorable, in his own special way.

if the management had really given up on movin', we wouldn't be seeing those dancing butt commercials every 5 minutes. they would be saving money, not spending it on tv.

seemz to me dat as mooch as ya'll yak bout dem theyz gotz plenty o ears on dem if you ax me ya'll need to yust move on watt u tink bou dat

Thanks to all that replied to my post! I suppose it proves that there is still a bond between air talents/programmers. That's really cool I think. Just wanted to answer some by saying that they requested applications and airchecks via email. They clearly need some talent on the station, I am qualified to judge that. I've worked at several great stations and could clearly help them have better ratings. So, it IS odd that they'd just pretend I didn't apply and say nothing. It's just kind of a strange way to do... business.

Egor. It is highly likely that any email sent with an attachment would have wound up in a corporate mail filter. Good practice to request a read receipt when sending something of this nature. Sure they can choose not to send the response but there it is....just as easy just to send the reply. Anyway unless people check their mail filters for good messages you'll never get a response.
