Gotta love PDX radio, info gets leaked on this website before the jocks are aware of it.
So when does T-MAN start on Z100??? Insiders, whats up???

From the little I did hear from the T-man show up in Washington, it was quite entertaining. Now correct me if Im wrong, but Isin't the T-man show complete talk with no music??? This will be a bit of a risk for Z100 won't it?? Considering that the morning shows on Z100 in the past have always played music in the morning.

Jammin' should get the Big Boy show for their AM drive, threat averted.

T-MAN may be "the man" in Seattle, but that doesn't mean the show will work in Portland. Remember when KNRK and KVMX tried running syndicated Seattle morning shows? They both tanked, because Portland listeners don't have any interest in programming from Seattle.

Well, if jammin doesn't get their ratings up, your wish may come true!

Yes but lets remember the Bob Rivers show was just plain BORING!!
I have a feeling T man will do quite well on Z100! It can't be any worse than Buckhead. I would much rather have a local morning show, BUT if its as good as I think it will be, You might catch me listening! Z100 has been sounding like such a dump for the last 5-6 years, hopefully they can bring something to the table that is actually listenable.

Is Z100 trying to get a wider range of listeners than just 12 year old girls??? Because if they are, T-MAN is a great choice. The T man show does have a large Male following. Just curious?? Terry Danner, what do you think?

>>T-MAN may be "the man" in Seattle, but that doesn't mean the show will work in Portland. Remember when KNRK and KVMX tried running syndicated Seattle morning shows? They both tanked, because Portland listeners don't have any interest in programming from Seattle.<<

Couldn't have said it better myself. Z100 will be looking for a new morning show before we elect a new Presisdent.

Gee, we haven't elected a new president since 1992! Sorry.

T-Man is hot in San Francisco.

Beano, Thanks for the vote of confidence. But I don't know T-Man's show or demo. But I know of no Pop/CHRs that lose much sleep over Men. The target is 18-29 Females. The teens are just a bit of revenue gravy.

Ive heard the T man show Terry MANY TIMES! The humor is waaay more men oriented than female.It can be crude at times and down right raunchy!(fart jokes, strippers, hot chicks) ect. Now I'm not saying they completely ignore the female listeners, because they don't, BUT Im sure the show has a large male following.

Was Brooke Fox fired?

>>Was Brooke Fox fired?<<

R&R reports today that she "will announce her new radio plans shortly."

Any other bets on how long T-Man will last on Z100?

I listened today, sounded pretty good.

Yikes, I listend today and was not impressed! Just the first day, but I'll give it some more time before I write them off. For some reason they sounded better when I heard them up in seattle.
Since Z100 is saving money by putting on a syndicated show, does that mean they will get better jocks during the other day parts, because some of those jocks on Z100 sound so small market, and not very good!

Not only are the jocks WEAK, but the content they bring to the table is weak! I lisatend to that guy in the afternoon and his talk breaks consist of "check out my myspace at .....com, bam turns the mic off and the lyrics of the song start. Has top 40 really gotten this bad??? THe jocks are unrelatable and bring NOTHING to the table. I miss the days of Mike Chase in the afternnons at Z100 where he would have fun with listeners, throw in some humor, along with a lot of music. The talk breaks on Z100 today are pointless, No wonder the Dj is a dying breed. That station would be better off with no jocks than what they currently have!

>>Since Z100 is saving money by putting on a syndicated show, does that mean they will get better jocks during the other day parts<<

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet the answer is no.

he is obnoxious.

I think T-Man sounds better cause he sounds more major market. He's doing a bit. He's not just an announcer who is trying to follow orders and not break any rules, as we often hear in Portland.

It's an actual show with spontaneity and un-predictability.

Of course we should have that person here in Portland, since it is such a cool, talent-laden market. One of the coolest towns on the planet.

But, if we have to go to Seattle via syndication, I think it's an improvement over bland predictability.

In my humble opinion.

whats the t in t man stand for? terrable radio?

Big market sound for T man???? Not really EGOR! I've heard better shows on smaller markets. I agree he does so some interesting bits, but I wonder If people in portland will be able to relate to him and The fact that he is syndicated. FACT- most syndicated morning shows in portland have failed- Boob and Tom, Bob Rivers, The Jamie and Danny show, ect. The odds are against them, but we shall see.

i think the t man show is crap i wonder will cheap channel go hiphop since they play more than pop music did yall here christina do traffic she need be at better station she too good be on z100 i bet clear channel gave less money

Anybody want to make any $$ bets on The T-Man Show?

I'm throwing up $100 that he will be number one in 1 year.

R

man... i gatta stop playing poker. ;)

Hip-hop is losing strength nationally! If Z100 were to change, this wouldn't be the time.

nobody even listens to hip hop or z100 corperate channel ruined all that when they bought it to suffocate all the djs and just do whatever they can for probably under a couple hundred per day, hahaha nah i dont know maybe they spend more then that. but your right about hip hop losing strength because that will always happen look what happen to easy e my mobile dj company is getting stronger everyday because of these corperate radio suckers

Hip Hop is still very popular, however, the fans seem to be turning away from radio.

The T man show is AWFUL! his voice is enough to turn away listeners!

Number one Razin??? Thats funny!

If your so sure, take the bet. I'll even go $200 just because your eyes are so pretty.

I'm serious about that. Mark my words.... ONE YEAR. NUMBER 1.

"...RRRRRIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTT..."

So your saying that T man is Far superior than the Playhouse and will beat the Playhouse in Morning Drive????

Don't think so! And Raizin, if T man is THAT good, why will it take him a year to be #1???

Go for it Beano - take Raizin up on his offer. It'll be the easiest $200 you'll ever make.

OK RAIZIN YOU'RE ON!!!! And remember I know where you work, so WHEN You lose, I expect the MONEY!

My guess is you'll get a $200 bill... as in, they bill you.

Raizen: demo & daypart?

M-F 6a-9a? M-F 6a-10?
12+
18-34?
25=49?

Specifics please.

Good point, Danner!
Raizin, which is it????

The only reason I said a year is to give myself a bit of a buffer. I REALLY do think he'll kick ass...(in less than a year) and yes... he will beat the Playhouse, Adam Carolla, and whatever the morning show is on 94.7... yikes... what do they have on 94.7?

PERSONS 18-34 M-F 6a-10a

This is going to be fun to watch.

Beano? are you actually going to tell me who you are? Or are you getting my hopes up for nothing...

R

Yes Raizin I will let you know who I am, once we get closer, BUT why don't we make it 6 months instead of a year????
Terry Danner will be the judge and let me know if T man is number one. Remember #2 doesn't cut it, it HAS to be #1.

The bet is on Raizin, BEST OF LUCK!!!! I'm amazed you think they will beat the Playhouse, But OK!
Oh by the way Raizin, quit using all those dollar bills at the Strip Club, you'll need them to pay your Pal Beano!

Hey... speaking of which Raizin, when are you going to get your afternoon show syndicated down here?

No offense in bringing Gustav back, but NRK is stale as shit these days.

So get this NRK went from Having a funny Live morning show with Mike chase and Daria. Now fast forward 8 years and they have a Voice tracked morning show with some Nerdy guy pretending he is LIVE!! NRK sounds Awful!!!

T- Man sounds like he's constipated!

I've always said... if given the chance, I'd LOVE to be on in Portland again. I grew up there, I know every freeway, every suburb, and snowboard run on Mt. Hood. It would almost be to easy!

I would LOVE to syndicate down there, but I work for Clear Channel, and 94.7 is Entercom.

It's time to bring back PERSONALITY radio! Anybody can have the music on an I-Pod or cd.... Personality wins!

I am summarizing the bet:

Raizin and Beano
$200 loser pays winner
Raizin = T man #1 on Z100 M-F 6a-10a A18-34
Beano = Tman not #1

#1 must be achieved in "book" not trend or monthly, no later than Su2008 survey. Included surveys are Fa2007, Wi2008, Sp2008, Su2008.

Bean&Raizin - Correct immediately if not right.
Otherwise, bet stands as recorded.

I'm in!

Yeah... I know, I read it back and I look kinda nuts. That's how much I believe in that show. Everybody tries so hard.... i.e. "War of the Roses" and "peeing on a chair and making someone sit on it." when in all reality it's more about chemistry and being funny.

Everybody likes to look back at the "good old days" of Z100. The Morning Zoo! The reason I listened to the Zoo was because they were edgy. Nelson said things that made me literally LAUGH OUT LOUD! I get the same thing when I listen to the T-MAN show. That hadn't happened untill I got to Seattle and heard them. (Except when I listen to my show of course ;);) They don't pull punches, and say it how it is.... and I have respect for anyone who can stand up on they're own two feet and know what they believe and be confident.

I think that translates into much better radio.

As for the playhouse... I'd invite you all to go listen to www.mancow.com. My jaw dropped.

So yes.... I'm in!

Im in Terry Danner! The Bet is on!
Thank you for being the Judge of this bet.

I feel really bad taking money from this poor under-paid dj. Its not nice to take money from Kids, but if Raizin is going to make such an insane BET than I guess taking his money won't be that hard!

START SAVING THOSE DOLLAR BILLS RAIZIN!!!!!!!!!!!

"As for the Playhouse"....:

Has the Playhouse been kind of a mirror of the former Doghouse morning show with Elvis and JV that use to air in SF?

haha! "poor under-paid dj" - you hit that right on the head.

As for the playhouse...

All I know, is the second I heard the way Mancow talks... I knew exactly where the Playhouse came from. PK sounds EXACTLY like Mancow. As for the name.... I think they just took that from the Doghouse.

Unless I'm wrong and PK was on before Mancow... I didn't even think about that.

I'm starting a swear jar, dollar a word... Beano, I should have your money in "T Minus" 1 hour.

R

PS... Props to PK and the crew for kicking some ass in Portland though. I'm not trying to take anything away from them. They've done great. I was just suprised when I finally heard Mancow.

Raizinnrk might win that bet. All I know is my buddy, Jason, never listened to z100 in his life, but he called me yesterday to tell me to check it out. Tman is funny!

>>All I know is my buddy, Jason, never listened to z100 in his life, but he called me yesterday to tell me to check it out.<<

Uh-huh. Sure. OK. We'll believe you.

All I know is my buddy, Jason, never listened to z100 in his life, but he called me yesterday to tell me to check it out.<<

Oh Dude2 it is so clear that YOU work for Clear Channel! Nice try.

tman is pretty good. i think he will beat out the playhouse. just imho
