Meridian Radio

Radiogal,ask any questions that you think I have not answered and I will be glad to answer them right now! In fact, I will even answer them on a level that even you can understand,you know what I mean,I'll throw in some meaningless numbers and rating jargon and money facts and all of that stuff you like to talk about.I'll make it as simple as I possible can for you!

Questions

You said bring back Jay King, Becky and Earl. Then you said Becky was a bad talent. Earl Has passed. Who did you want back?

Why do you pick on only women in the mornings?

If you owned a station, would you care about the ratings?

Why do you think I have a big ego.

Why did you lie and say you were gone when you were not.

Why do you think Miss and WOKK are carbon copies? They sound very different now. WOKK has a completly different image and sound. MISS has a sound of it's own. Listen to the afternoons and you will understand what I am talking about. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay different.
The mornings are nothing alike. Can't help it if the music is the same.

Now study up and make it simple for lil ole me.

1. I named several morning shows I enjoyed in the past - bring any of them back who are still alive.
2. I'm not picking on just the women in the morning. I was commenting on the whole content of the shows. If the shows were good, I would have said so. I've heard women on morning shows in other areas that were great.
3. I don't think your ego is big, I just asked if your ego would allow you to leave the air and go to management. Only you can answer as to how big your ego is.
4. Not lying - just a wrong choice of words, I guess. I wasn't in town for a while when all the changes were made. Now I am back, have listened for myself a few weeks, and just voiced my opinion.
5. Wow, this is a hard one! Let's see - man and woman morning show, similar man and woman on billboards, both claim to play 'today's best country', both give away birthday cakes from the Piggly Wiggly in Collinsville, both claim to have the 'original big buck bounty', both gave away a ton of corn last week, both claim to have the best weather coverage. Scotty Ray and Debbie worked at WOKK and now at MISS101, so you tell me, how are they different?
6. Out of order, I overlooked this. If I owned a station, would I care about the ratings? Yes, but I would also factor in the quality of my morning show.
Any more questions?

WOW, you really do listen hard. Why? I forgot one other question.
Why not critique the guys in radio. Only the women. Let us hear your opinion on them.

For five dollars name the radars on each station.

Radiogal,I am going to answer this last post of yours and then I am going to get off line.Why do I listen so hard? I don't, I just listen in the am on my way to work.I switch back and forth from one station to the next.My opinion on the am guys are as follows:Sharky,sounds good ,but too loud and hyper for a country am show.Scotty Ray: too redneck,backwoods country bumpkin for my taste.This is extra,Have met both guys,Sharky seems like a nice guy,Scotty Ray is very friendly but smokes too much!As for the names of the stations radars,you got me there,I did not know they had names so keep your five dollars.If I guess will you pay up?Bo and Luke Duke? Am I even close?Got to go for now. It has been fun talking with all of you!!!!!

I read alot of things, but nothing like the postings of you Jay Jones..Do you know how radio really works? You sound bitter to the world..did you loose your job in radio or something? Did you once do a morning show? Do you listen and wish it were you on the radio? Or you working a job you hate? During the 60's and and early 70's you didn't hear many woman on country radio..hello 2006! Anyone who is in radio knows you must have great sales with that you must have great ratings..If you hear alot of live morning reads, they must be working or they would not buy them month after month.

> My opinion on Q101 (WJDQ) flippin' a heritage to Q95.1
was flat out dumb.  In Meridian Q101 has always (before
clear channel, before broadcasters and publishers, even
back when don partrage ran it, he branded every ones
brain as it being "the hottest hits" ...

Uhhhh, not quite correct.  Q101 became Q101 on June 6, 1979.  It flipped from WDAL-FM, an automated easy-listening format called "The Entertainers."  I know, I was there.  B&P owned the station at the time and Don Partridge was co-owner and GM.  There was no "Q101" before June 6, 1979.  The original lineup consisted of me doing mornings, Bill Loggins in middays, puking Brock Boulette in PM drive, John something from 7-Mid and still-in-high-school Jack Watkins doing overnights.  Maureen Christian did news.  It was a wild ride.

So True, Larry.Station was just darn Awesome.sounded like it would fit in a top 20 market.The old days have disappeared quickly.Bill Loggins (and I am Bill Loggins) worked for me years ago and i once worked with Crazy legs Brock Boulette.Radio was fun back then.now it's just see how cheap we can get someone to do voice tracks.Jocks are fast becoming like dinosaurs..IMHO
