Fybush: Hot 97 (87.7) raided, shut down

[dumber than a box of hair]

Shame. Stations should take a look at stations like this, it's a good way to be succesful. Standing out, and having airstaff that people enjoy over say the competitor.

Once more, with feeling:  If it really were successful, it would already be on a licensed station.  Got it now?

They are succesful.

Tens of thousands of listeners.
Thousands of facebook fans.
Extensive air staff
Succesful online stream
Decent studios
Complete website

Already beats our top two rated Philadelphia FM's in terms of what it offers, may not have as big an audience.

Unless you're puling this stuff out of thin air (which I highly suspect), post your proof.

I don't know why they just didn't go all internet in the first place. Was the tiny boost they got from that transmitter stuck in a tree really worth the headache?

"Boston Need Urban AC !! " 

The only way you are going to hear an urban ac in Boston is if somebody with deep pockets and a passion for the music wills it to work. Just like Mr. Nash did for Wild and the gentleman who owns wfnx is doing now. Unfortunately those type of broadcasters are exceedingly rare these days.

My proof is Facebook. Go to the site.
Extensive is a matter of opinion.
There are no numbers for Hot 97 but the fact they have 14k facebook fans and a few listeners on this board suggest they've got some people listening.

I agree .Most Companies whom put ads on Hot 97 got near or Sold out shows ( The Wilbur Theatre, Patriots Place Concerts and Night clubs ) . My Proof is I went to alot of Hot 97 shows ( TheWilbur and Nightclubs )and I was a hot 97 listener .
