Re: “Media Watch”
"infinite replays of Michael Jackson tunes" So true. We going into week 5 of nothing but Michael Jackson. No commercials, no psa's, nothing. Its simply incredible.
Re: “Media Watch”
Hey Sonoran Winds. This week's Watch was somehow uploaded under an old, now-unused category. You should find the new one in it's usual location. Thanks for calling that out.
Re: “Media Watch”
Me and my daughter saw Alex in Target once and he walked around with his high heel boots all snobby. Glad he is off the air he was annoying as hell!!!!
Re: “Media Watch”
When I was on-air at KIKX (580 AM), Barb did the news. I liked her a lot...
Re: “Media Watch”
You have to wonder whether 1330 is paying ASCAP/BMI/SESAC royalties on the MJ music?
Anyway, I really wish the Wildcat cartoonist didn't go offer some lame apology. Just man up, tell everyone you were trying to be funny and to deal with it. I thought it was funny, just poorly drawn.
Re: “Media Watch”
I've listened to KJLL [whatever it is now] 1330 AM off and on, more off than on lately, since late Sept when they did the bizarre rebirth from extended dead air.
At first they were not announcing their call letters nor location as fcc requires. Lately, if you listen closely around the top of the hour, they do an quick over announce on top of the Jacko track of their call letters, frequency and location. Still VERY bizarre.
Re: “Media Watch”
I am glad that KGUN 9 is using three of its digital sub-channels for programming. Now KVOA ch 4 is the only local station not to use any of them. I wonder when they will step up to the plate?
Re: “Media Watch”
I was hoping to read an update on 1330. After over a week they're still playing Michael Jackson songs. That is simply beyond weird. Aren't they supposed to do PSA's every once in the while to stay licensed? How do they stay on the air without commercials. Very bizarre.
Re: “Media Watch”
You are giving 1330 "The Joke" far too much credit to have the ability to come back from the destruction John C. Scott has caused. Yes, bills were severly overdue, contracts with major networks broken and no one with a clue as to how to run the station. With Randy Howard as engineer, that station is was just running on fumes.
The previous staffers destroyed the little station that could.. What a mistake Sprei made to allow them to run that station. Just complete and utter failure.

You are giving 1330 "The Joke" far too much credit to have the ability to come back from the destruction Dawn Avalon has caused. No money from ads, bills overdue, contracts with major networks broken and no one to run the station. Unless Anne the receptionist knows how to run an entire radio station + do the paperwork needed + engineering, that station is just running on fumes.
Dawn Avalon has destroyed the little gem that 1330 became. What a mistake to allow her to take over. Just complete and utter failure.
Re: “Media Watch”
How much does anyone want to bet that there will be no "new artists" introduced to "the mainstream audience" on 97.5 FM? It'll be the same 40 songs over and over again. All Flo-Rida and Pitbull all the time. New artists my ass.
That's just a line of bullshit from Carrie Moten. Or maybe she's naive. Either way, she'll read what the program director shoves in front of her face and plays what the PD says to play. There won't be shit said about the "cool local events, concerts, charities and fundraisers," unless they pay Cumulus Media. Cumulus has to pay their debt load down somehow, you know.
There's much better music and audio content being delivered via the internet. It's the NewNormal without all the bullshit from Cumulus, Clear Channel, CBS Radio and so on. Radio is an antiquated appliance. Audio content via the internet is the only way to get it.
Re: “Media Watch”
kjll/kwfm is an absolute waste of time. Please just shut it off.
Re: “Media Watch”
Did Steve Nunez get let go from KGUN?
Re: “Media Watch”
"Somewhere..." Why didn't you have enough guts to post a location, Braveheart? LMAOROTF
Re: “Media Watch”
Yeah, I'm Dawn Avalon. You really are a loser. Why don't you meet me somewhere and find out, coward.
