I'm eager to see what Weigel does with 87.7. They've committed to older audiences on the television side with MeTV and Heroes & Icons (RIP, Me Too, my dad mourns you), so maybe they can give us a bona fide oldies station and not these wishy-washy "classic hits" stations like WLS-FM and K-Hits where it's discouraged to play music by blacks, women, and black women.

Maybe Mac will do pre/post/intermission for the Hawks if Judd leaves WGN to rejoin the Cubs.

Are blacks and black women a different category? Seems like one is a subset of the other.

I predict the only thing that changed was the frequency of the station. Same company. Same concept. Just a stronger station and better branding.

What are you talking about? 87.7 is renewed with WGN>FM for one month and the is going to Weigel Broadcasting 2/1/2015.
MAC is finished with sports talk. He will talk for 5 minutes an hour about AC/DC, perfect for the no talent addict he is.
I think he will be doing a sports radio show of some sort for WGN. I guess we'll see!

I'm a slave to the rule of threes, and it serves to highlight the absurdity of trying to program an oldies station that's afraid to play the Supremes.

Oldies stations used to play that Motown stuff back in the day. Now oldies stations play shitty music from the 80s like Huey Lewis and 38 Special.

Executives in tall buildings outside of Chicago cower in fear at the idea that someone might hear "Be My Baby" and change the station because that's what their voluminous bullshit research tells them. It's ridiculous, especially because Chicago has always been a great market for oldies. I mean, not quite oldies, but the #1 station in the market is the Black Dad station. When 94.7 flipped to oldies while 104.3 was still fumbling around with Jack FM, WLS-FM cleaned up. Then came the memo about keeping things as 1970s-white-male as possible. They put Dick Biondi on the air and told him not to talk between songs because, again, the research shows people change the station. Fucking middle management, I swear to god.

Not when grimace is bitchy.
Not when North says something racist.

It's not purely ratings though. It's demographics. Oldies don't draw the high revenue ad spending.

Oh, I've never bought that. It's music that virtually everyone loves or appreciates. And as far as old people go, they have disposable income, do they not? How does Weigel stay in business running Andy Griffith and Brady Bunch reruns?

The only reason B&B have work is demographics and that alone. If Mac or someone can pull off a WLS/WGN thing they are fucked. Lately B&B's competitor was not ESPN but Roe. Demos.

Half-joking, I know the economics are different between television and radio, but I find it very vexing that television is narrowcasting itself into oblivion while radio is scared shitless of airing anything less mass-appeal than Katy Perry, Boston, and sports talk.

If I was flipping around, I mean pushing buttons around, and I found Andy Griffith I'd watch it, maybe on the Brady Bunch depending on the episode.

What are you talking about? B&B have consistently delivered the desired demo. That's "the only reason" that matters. That won't change in any significant way despite your meatball hatred.

I did.

There was one on Netflix and Uverse had a channel.

Full runs of both Andy Griffith and Dick Van Dyke are on Netflix. Not sure about the Brady Bunch though.

Yes I just said that. It does not matter what the rest of the station does but if some station makes a Macky show up against B&B like Roe and Garry used to be B&B are fucked. When Mac was MJH he ruled the demo without question.

Oh and it is not meatball hatred. I listen religiously. It is disappointment.

Roe was like 27th in the market by the time Cumulus took him off the air. B&B were in the top ten. Roe was competing with the Moody Bible Institute.

My point was back then the demo game was MJH, Roe and Garry and B&B. Advertisers gave a giant fuck about the content. They and the radio owners only care how many Male 2?-54 are listening. Mac brings that right or wrong.
