Goin' For Younger Demos, Eh?

This will definitely keep 'em from going back to FM: http://phoenix.bizjournals.com/phoenix/stories/2009/11/02/daily68.html  And speaking of another KT'R defection, isn't this the second go round for news dude Andy McKinney at KFWhyEye?

Excerpted from the Biz Journal article:

Business Journal Circulation Director Paul Sanders said the partnership
is likely to be expanded beyond KFYI.

“The partnership brings together the Valley’s No.1 source of local
business news with the Valley’s No. 1 radio station,” Sanders said.

Yo, Biz Journalistas--you should have updated that quote before
going to press, as you had to admit later in the story that 55/FYI
fell to #2 in September...and now also (#2, P6+) in October.

It is. Good to hear him back.

Smart move by KTAR to dump them.  I always thought business journal reports were snoozers.

At least the Biz Journal reports were lively and tailored to Phoenix. Bloomberg business updates sound like they're phoned in. I think the teleprompter could read it better.
