Heard Alan Craig of KOOL's morning show doing the morning news on KPNW today......not sure who was on KOOL. Is this a change, or perhaps just a juggling due to illness??

Wow! This could really ruin Kool 99.1! What's next for KDUK? Kidd Kraddick in the morning?

Let me get this straight, they put a syndicated morning show on Kool that already did poorly on 102.3?! That's a great way to go from a 5.something to a 2.something.

>>What's next for KDUK? Kidd Kraddick in the morning?

Maybe John Tesh after 102.3 drops him. :-)

According to Kool 99.1's website, Bob & Sheri are back on 11/5/07! I bet the folks at Magic are loving this!

I think Magic 94 has lost alot if its listeners because they just dont have any decent people on board over there. Who the hell is Doc McGinnis..does this guy just love his voice or what. Thier morning show is not even close too funny

Sarge is just waiting for some syndicated show to be available. Lee Chabre is still the P.D. of KPNW.
Andy got fired in the house cleaning, then hired back...kind of.....living wage...no way! Bicoastal...and voice tracking...wonder how they can voice track an all news station......? If they can save money...they'll find a way. Me thinks they're stretched a bit thin after the purchase.

Remember the comment made after the purchase of "no changes"? So does that make them liars, or visionary? Obviously the stations sucked because of the people. Now that they realize this is what was holding them back, it will be like picking gold off the street. I'll bet they won't even need a sales staff. Clients will be rushing in the door handing the receptionist money and completed copy for a chance to advertise! The real question is a few years down the road who is the next suck...er business group ready to pay way more than too much?

Randy_in_eugene----"Let me get this straight, they put a syndicated morning show on Kool that already did poorly on 102.3?! That's a great way to go from a 5.something to a 2.something."

Did poorly? How about completely tanked?

Bob/Sheri target demo I think is women 25-54. I don't think the show is really bad except for the fact that they hardly have any stations west of the Mississippi. (I think only 4 on the west coast) It seems the majority of phone bits come from people with southern accents who live a different lifestyle than west coast. And of course it’s not live unless your in the eastern time zone. But for Bicostal it is probably free or a trade so who cares.

I'm sure Bicostal will save a ton of money with this move. Other good ideas for Bicostal is to fire the cleaning service and delegate all janitor duties to Chris Sargent. He practically lives there anyway.

How about maybe have their receptionist take electronics correspondence classes so she can fix everything that breaks down in the studio. You can save a lot of money by firing over-paid under-worked engineers. Do you even need a 1st Class for anything anymore?

They could also make Valerie VT more dayparts. After all its all about the music and no one pays attention to DJs right?

Robo is a wonderful graphic artist whose talents have gone unappreciated for decades. Maybe Bicostal could delegate him to paint their billboards?

The KOOL website has been changed quite a bit...but lists both Bob and Sheri and Alan Craig as being "the morning show"!!
