How long does 92.3 Now Have?

[Barry]

It seems unusual for an owner such as CBS, to offer a DJ in market #1 a position at a sister station in a significantly smaller one.

Or it may be that, strategically, the morning position in DC is more important than the evening shift in NY... and it likely pays many times better, too.

Moving from an evening or even mid-day or afternoon position in a larger market to mornings in a smaller market is not unusual historically.

I realize that it is not unusual for someone to leave a large market station for a smaller one, especially for a more high profile daypart, and higher pay.
But it does seem less common for a broadcast firm to make the offer for a personality at one of their major market stations to move to one of their others, in a smaller market.
It also seems odd that CBS offered Chunky the morning slot at WPGC, instead of the newly available morning time period at 92 Now. Along with tepid ratings and the recent departure of the PD,  this gives me the impression that a format change is quite possible in the near future.

It has happened before with Clear Channel. In 2004 96.1 Kiss in Pittsburgh offered Mikey and Big Bob the morning show position while they were working nights at Q102 in Philadelphia. They accepted that offer almost immediately. They're still doing mornings at 96.1 in Pittsburgh. In fact, just 2 weeks ago as I was driving from NYC to Minneapolis, I heard their morning show for the first time as I was driving through 96.1 Kiss' coverage area.

Anyone notice how 92.3's audio has gotten worse lately, along with the imaging?

Dom's gone for only a few weeks and already the station starts to hit the skids...

[Nick]

At least they still speed up the music

I thought may be it was their stream?  it's really just the quality of the production... ick -- I'll check that out beginning tomorrow while I'm home for Spring break. Today they finally updated the main page of their website for the first time since announcing Nick's departure.  UGH... if its not flipping then they need a PD to get in there and whip everyone into shape cause damn!

agreed. They would be an awesome fit. Haven't heard them since Pulse.
Something may be up with NOW but I don't believe they'll flip. A second CHR in this market is a good idea to compete against Z100 but they need to tweak NOW and make it into a serious CHR and not something laughable.
They should take a page out of AMP's book in LA. They both signed on around the same time and look at AMP's ratings. Apparently CBS spent all it's money on AMP and left NOW in the dust!
