790 WQSV, Ashland City is selling out to the Mexicans!

[scottwmro]

 thanks to people like Bob Goodall here in Gallatin who built my house and hired illegals to to it!

Scott:

Unless you want to see the Feds at your front door with a warrant for being an accessory after the fact, perhaps you should keep your bigoted comments just shy of admitting that you knowingly hired illegal aliens.  Paid in cash or by check?  Did you or Mr. Goodall issue 1099's to your construction crew?  Looking to be audited by the IRS?  Want to keep that government approved license for WMRO?  Got a good communications attorney?  How about just listing the address of your "house and hired illegals to (build) it"?  Or maybe just a Mapquest with a big X on it.   Viva La Freedom!

Wooo....Wait a minute!   Mr. Bob Goodall was responsible for all that, not me as the homebuyer!  I DID NOT SIGN THE CONTRACT ON THIS HOUSE UNTIL IT WAS FINISHED.  What does my radio station have to do with my personal life buying a home? Not a damn thing. It's not my responsibility to pay Bob Goodall's empolyees. The ONLY person that was payed was Jennifer Houston (my real estate lady, whom got a commission out of the sale of me and my wife buying our home) and Ms. Houston will back me on that.

Once again, when I bought this house in 2006, it had nothing to do with WMRO. Hell, WMRO is just an investment property for me and right now I don't take a dime out of it. My income comes from somewhere else!

Maybe I should give you Ms. Houston's phone number at her office and she can explain all this to you that no radio station had NOTHING to do with my wife and I buying our home....PERIOD!  Ms. Houston & myself will be more than happy to show this house was bought legally and even the on my morgage it mentions NOTHING about the radio station.

Why is it your business on how I bought my house? The Feds could careless about me buying this house!

David,

     The statement you made about oldies is one I do agree with you on. Research has showed that people who were in thier 20's in the 1980's decade are now in thier 40's, almost reaching 50. The problem with the 60's oldies era is the same 400 or so titles have been played to death across the country for the past 25 years. From market to market, including Nashville, there was an "Oldies FM" station. People whom were in thier teens and 20's in the 1960's era, were always tuned to that market's oldies station.

Here is the consultants take on this subject of "what is now Oldies":

1. Any title from 1955 to 1970 is consider "NOSTALGIA" : That era has replaced the 1930's, 40's & early 50's era of music called Nostalgia, geared to the 55 plus demo.

2. Any title from 1970 to 1992 is now "OLDIES" or refered to as the "New Oldies" :This era replaced the burn out of the 60's and early 70's music overplay on stations like the former Oldies 96.3 and what time WRQQ played this era of music. WRQQ's "Classic Hits" sounds more like "Classic Rock". I not fond of what they are doing as 97.1, "the tower".

3. Any title from 1992 to 2006 is "RETRO" :This is kind of the Recurrent era. Lot of your Basic AC stations get stuck in this era with thier playlist. 

What Pat doesn't understand is we have all gotten older, and music had to be push up and redefined. Pat fits in the #1. era.  I mention this because that's what he grew up to, the 1960's. I fit in the #2 era. I'm in my mid 40's, late 70's & 80's. The Retro era is for for young adults past thier teens that are now in thier 20's or early 30's. 

One thing that I'm shocked about 1200/99.3 FM, WAMB is that Bill Barry has it stuck in the same era of music with a "creeky" sound. WAMB is where the Top 40 Oldies of the late 50's and 60's should be. Before 96.3 changed format to what it is now, the arbitron numbers were horrible with the "Oldies 96.3. It had the same listeners, day in and day out, and NEVER nothing fresh about it. They got to where they couldn't sell ads as well on it, vs. thier sister station, WJXA, Mix 92.9. The "Jack" format is a good mix of Retro, Oldies (70's & 80's) and a current song every now and then.

I've spoken to may consultants in LA, Dallas, NYC, etc, and believe me, they tell me there will NEVER be an "Oldies 96.3 type format on the FM dial in Nashville ever again.

I've talked with a retired pastor who has a couple of programs currently on WQSV, and asked him about the upcoming changes.  He said the changeover is to take place around March 31st, so they've got two weeks of English language programming left on WQSV.  They are to move into a studio somewhere near 49th and 50th Avenues, and Charlotte Avenue, so they will be located somewhere in west Nashville.  They will also be moving their transmitter site closer to town, so they will obviously be targeting west Nashville, and not Cheatham County.  Their call letters will likely be changing as well.  WQSV stood for "Wonderful, quaint, Sycamore Valley," which confirms what I said earlier, that they have been basically broadcasting to the northern half of the county.  They also have a slogan, something to the effect of "broadcasting to the twin valleys, the Harpeth and the Sycamore," but since Sycamore is represented in their call letters, and Harpeth is not, they have basically been a northern Cheatham County station.  Now they will become what many on here call a "rimshot" station, although I thought it somewhat unusual that they would do that with an AM signal.

Well, another AM station bites the dust. I guess before it's all over with it will be just WSM-AM, WQKR-AM 1270 (Ted Johnson/Lee Dorman's station) and WMRO, Magic 1560 in Gallatin with music in English. The rest of the AM Band will go to hell with a bunch of hispanic junk.

****Hey....tell that Pastor of that church that I have a Sunday Morning opening that just came up yesterday at 1560 Gallatin. Have him call me if he wants it! I will sell him the time at a good price!   

Scott @ MRO, Gallatin

[scottwmro]

Well, maybe the threat of various three-lettered agencies ascending upon WMRO will be just the ticket to finally
stop any more posts about hayseed AM stations on this bored.

Can we get back to real radio topics ever again??? I say boycott AM on this board. Give it a rest. Geez.
NO ONE CARES TO READ the one millionth Nashville RI board post about a station with less power or importance than
a CHRISTMAS LIGHT on a strand of 1,000.

Hey Tibbs,
 
There are bundles of hay across the road from me. Let's have an Arbor Mist party! Those three letter agencies are going broke or already broken anyway! (HA!)  Congress spent all the money, and hey you and I are suppose to get a refund this spring!

Why does anything you don't like have to be "junk?"  Most of us write up things like this to differences in taste... one man's champaign is another's poison. I probably don't like the music you like, but I don't call your choice "junk" just because I do not like it.

In other words, who appointed you to be the taste police force?

Nobody appointed me to be anything, I just speak my my mind. David, you have to get to know me to understand me, and that is what is the problem with some folks on this board. If we all agreed, there would be no need for this board, but since us humans don't agree on EVERYTHING, we tend to fuss at each other a little.

Example:

You may like McDonald's Big Macs, where I don't, I prefer Wendy's Hamburgers.

I may like cheese on my eggs in the morning, you may not.

This is all the fun of it. We all have different taste. Pat Julian (deltas 69) likes 60's Pop Oldies, I really don't. We argue all the time over it, but he knows how to take me. Laugh a little.

Let's just pop open a big bottle of Arbor Mist and get over it.

People who follow my posts will be aware that I can mix it up and be a tease with the best of writers here, but when Mexican immigration has become the number one political hot button this year in this nation, you may have to recognize that some people are slightly more sensitive on that topic than we are when we discuss fast-food greasy spoon places and which music genres are our favorites.

As Molly used to say:  "Ta'int Funny McGee!"  (circa 1947).

Hey wait a minute, some of those locally owned greasy spoon places are some of the best places to eat. Fast food.....uuuummmmmm, I just hate McDonalds. At one time they tried to produde a burger and other heathly type foods for older folks like me watching thier weight. It never really took off, even with all the ad money they spent to promote it, it never really didn't attract the older demo.
