What would be the best thing to happen...

For me personally, I would love a full blown 100 percent flame throwing CHR.  I haven't done a shift at Cat Country in over a year and I'll hand in my keycard for that...lol

WEEX: More local sports and a wrestling show would be good ... the same goes with the other sports station at 1470. i think wrestling is a huge market untouched in this area for a good talk show. we'll see if one of these two competitors catches on first.

Well, you have this problem. Professional wrestling isn't a sport. Vince McMahon himself finally came off that bandwagon a number of years ago and admitted it's "entertainment". You could make the argument that it appeals to a lot of men, so putting it on a sports station would hit the right audience, but from a station stand point, you would turn off a lot of real sports fans that want to hear sports talk.

Let's get back on point here...

B104 surprisingly didn't take a hit after Matthews left.  Their numbers have gone up

That actually makes sense...everybody IN radio wants to always put a high value on the talent. Often, we're the only ones who really care when someone's let go.

Sadly, on-air folk aren't worth what they once were to the radio listener...that's why there always will be a long list of very talented, ex-personalities talking about a set of on-air's in a market that really don't belong.

i think the part that all of u are missing when it comes to personalities is thier "value" from an advertising perspective.. for example.. bearman and keith are never number one in the ratings.. but i bet u if they left zzo's ad revenue would shrink considerably. and get me if i'm wrong.. isn't that what the game is truly all about??  now if u wanna say b104's numbers didn't shrink or even went up after ken matthews left i would ask doesn't everyone's after someone leaves caus people always wanna check out the new guy?? but i would bet lunch for a month that b104's ad revenues are down considerably caus that man was a marketing machine. numbers for ratings are great.. but when u have an institution that is a consistent performer i would guess that would be far better a value to the station. 

on another note though.. i still can't beleive so much is being said about a small second hand radio station like wgpa.. jolly joe must be rolling over in his grave... oh wait.. he's still got one leg out lol.
