One Less at WA1A

[Barkley]

Cumulus has been slowly abandoning the Melbourne market for a number of years now.

A1A is a boreing CHR.
Radio without DJ's are boring.
Sindicated is okay, but like  the local.
with local there's that local thing that connects the listener.
DXing isn't as fun as it used to be.

Total bummer hearing no jocks on WAIA today while in Melbourne.   Back in the day cafe with just jingles and liners and NO personality?     Truly painful to hear..........

[Lehos]

And during the flashback cafe, they dont even use special liners for the hour, its the same imaging leading into different music.

Unfortunately they'd be better off automating the mornings.  Timmy Vee hosting with local business people that can't talk into a microphone is about as bad as you can make it in the mornings.   Any chance Mike Lowe would turn off the LITE an jump back to A1A for one more spin of the wheel at CHR?

I can name one station that's 100% live 24/7 here in Orlando.
WPRK-FM 91.5! 

I am pretty sure WPOZ has someone around 24/7 too I think..

[John Holcomb II]

Yes... There is one exception ( though there may be a body  in case a disaster   happens (oh deano, please chime in? Thanks....)
That would be Christmas Eve and Christmas Day when they are runnin Christmas (without any underwriting if i remember right), and do the jingles with sings only (no music)

WA1A has a "human in the loop" aftenoons .... Slammin Sammy Suarez.

[vadar]

Is the back in the day cafe now gone?
