I feel bad for all the employees that have just been fired, and more that probably will in a matter of months. With all of CBS stations up for sale, you have to wonder what the stations will sound like in a few months.
Im curious if the formats will stay the same with new owners, will the jocks still be employed?(not that there is many left)

Will Kufo still be a rock station with new owners?

Im guessing It will still be called KUFO, except they will be playing "Out of this world love songs". The new soft rock kufo.

>>With all of CBS stations up for sale, you have to wonder what the stations will sound like in a few months.<<

Most likely they'll sound the same as they do today. That's because CBS head honcho Les Moonves has made it perfectly clear they aren't about to "fire-sale" stations. So CBS will probably still own the stations a few months from now.

And in case you hadn't noticed, this country is in a big financial crisis these days and credit isn't that easy to come by - especially if you're trying to finance the purchase of a radio station.

>>Im curious if the formats will stay the same with new owners, will the jocks still be employed?(not that there is many left)<<

In many cases a large number of employees survive ownership changes and the formats don't change.

KUFO is the only rock station in this market, so I doubt they would flip the format to something else. We don't even have an alternative rock station in this market, giving them even more room than most rock stations in other markets have. A format flip makes no sense at all for KUFO.

Some individual stations within the CBS cluster will be parted out to other companies that have some demographic or format gap, and they'll almost certainly retain their existing formats. New owners always, always look for cost savings, so air staff or other personnel that are deemed expendable will be expended. The trick, in radio, is to not be expendable.

I wish CBS would get a clue and fire Rick Emerson's bogus ass.....

Why don't you get a clue, he doesn't work for CBS.

The fuck you say? AM 970 "the Stalker" is owned, operated, and controlled by CBS. Who do you think is signing the paychecks? Prick. Loser.

Okay...
Now your really GONE!

BUH BYE!

Yeah, sure. Go away stalker with your threats.

Isn't KNRK still alternative rock? Or is it now considered AAA?

I think it's more on the order of Classic Alternative Rock, as compared to a standard Alternative station. I wouldn't call it "AAA".

The fact that nobody can figure out what the HELL Nrk is playing just shows how out of Sinc(sp?) that station is.

Im honestly surprised that Entercom can afford to keep that station around especially when their ratings are in the shitter! And they have been in the shitter for a while now.

I used to love KNRK back when it was a real rock station, but now its starting to sound like charlie.

In my personal non-professional opinion as a listener, I'd consider 94.7 to be adult contemporary. I've heard them played in a bank for crying out loud!

What bank was that or was King Missile's "Detachable Penis" removed from the playlist?

Someone over there has an ironic sense of humor! Check out one of their contests, a CD titled "Not 4 Sale"!

Oh please skep, NRK hasn;t played that song since 1995!

The only time I hear "Detachable Penis" is on kufo

KNRK has broadened its playlist quite a bit. What's wrong with that?

Regarding what hole KNRK's peg fits into, I don't think it really matters, does it. From the bottom line standpoint, number of listeners/sales are what matters. From the listener standpoint (remember the listeners?) what matters is whether they like the programming.

The more eclectic playlist works for me and I'm happy with the direction they have taken.

PS - Newflyer, the fact that you heard your favorite song in a bank just means you're getting old. Trust me, I know.

It wasn't my favorite song. In fact, I wasn't even paying attention to the music, only that I heard "947 Alternative Portland." That's what got my attention.

I was just stating that 94.7's rating suck and they really have no positioner for that station. The more music in the morning is not working. You can bitch and moan about how you want to hear music and not talk in the morning, but the stations that play mostly music in the morning, can't get any decent numbers. I think 94.7 should get a morning team in the morning and put a real morning show on in the morning, You can still play music but put a real morning show on. This voicetracked guy in the morning is boring and doesn't do much for the station at all. NRK was such a great station when it had S&M in the morning. That was such a great show, it was smart and hilarious at the same time. That station used to be so great, Trust me, I know. I was a senior in High School back when NRK was new and THAT was the it station,, NOT Kufo, it was NRK. They had a very strong morning show and played great music. I think Nrk shoukd try going head to head with KUFO again, get a great morning show and play all the new alternative rock, you can still stay eclectic but play all the new rock.
KNRK WAS a great station, but I think that staion is not living up to their potential.
Im sure its a cheap way of running a station, not having a morning show, but I BELIEVE YOU WILL NEVER win in the ratings race without a morning show! You can moan and cry and say I want music in the morning, but the fact of the matter is, the top rated morning shows are mostly talk, not more music. So you can do one of two things, you can A) brag about how different your station is and how you play music in the morning and continue to stay at a low 2.0 OR you can put a real morning show on, and actually try to stay competitive in the morning.

When thing don't work, you have to change them, and the more music in the morning is not working.

Hey, how did 94.7 Entercom get into a CBS sucks thread? Right turn Clyde!

How did 2 seemingly identical posts take on different endings?

HMMMMMMMMmmmmmmm Conspiracy? I was wondering that as well! Cue twilight zone music...

Beans...
WTF!
