CHUNKY (AKA BIG BOY) IS BACK ON THE AIR IN DETROIT

[radiojomo]

98.7 AMP Radio picks up "Big Boy" (AKA Chunky in 92.3) to do 11PM TO 3 AM Weeknights in Detroit. Why so late and why???

[Nick]

He's live on NOW and I'm guessing voice-tracked in Detroit.

Let me just tell you that Andre the Dre Dog, beat Chunky in the ratings with half the signal and 87.7 dial position.

87.7 could have hired Chucky from "Child's Play" and it still would have beaten 92.3.

we all want to forget about chunky. too bad someone on this board keeps bringing him up.

He's still around

People who don't understand what Chunky is doing don't know how to connect with today's CHR listeners.  MOst of the people here seem to like the Mo Bounce way of doing things.

"I'm blahblahblah on today's hit music station blahblahblah with your chance to win tickets to (insert concert here) coming up after blahblahblah on Z-100"

Great radio.  By the way, Chunky beats Z in women 18-34 at night.

Mo Bounce is doing CHR in a way that would have worked in the 80s, and works just as well in 2009. Same goes for guys like Boy Toy Jessie on 102.7 KIIS FM. They bring the right amount of high energy to the station.
Chunky is just a bad imitation of Bubba The Love Sponge when he was working at 93.3 FLZ in Tampa in the 90s. Just b/c he talks a lot and tries to convey personality doesnt mean that he's doing it all that well, or that he's all that original.

This is what's wrong with CHR.  You have too many Mo Bounces and Joe Rosati's in the world, interchangeable robots who execute the format and bring nothing else.  Just because they can plug the station's website with "high energy" doesn't mean they're doing it right.

Really? That's whats wrong with CHR??? And here I thought the problem was too many automated dayparts, syndicated shows, voicetracking, national playlists, and a lot less opportunities for the up and comers to do overnight shifts.
Sadly there AREN'T ENOUGH high energy DJs across the nation, not the other way around. And yet depite all that CHR/Pop seems to be very healthy ratings-wide around the country.
