It's Here: The rock is back on 94 WYSP

You gotta laugh at people vandalizing YSP's wiki entry right now:

CBS Screws Up

On September 12th, 2007 CBS pulled the plug on the Scotty & Alex Show. On September 13th 2007, the Matt & Huggy Show, the Barsky Show, and some of the key staff at the Kidd Chris Show who had worked diligently to elevate the it into the hilarious 4-hour program it is today... or was, rather, were also pulled. This change was made for what many perceive to be no good reason, and allowed those that were axed virtually no chance to say goodbye to their devoted listeners. When WYSP moved into to their new studios in Winter of 07', Kidd Chris had in his contract that he was to have an office to himself. Little did he know that after the abrupt firings, that he would have the whole 9th floor of 400 Market St. to himself. There is only one way to get the radio personalities back...

[edit] Arbitron

Arbitron is a company that does the radio ratings in a lot of markets. It just tested out a new way of collecting radio data called the Portable People Meter (PPM). This meter can detect inaudible signals encoded in radio to know exactly how long people are listening to what station, instead of the old pencil and diary method. There new method using PPMs showed a drastic decline in WYSPs ratings, but what WYSP does not know is that their sharp decline in ratings is actually due to a SNAFU on Arbitrons's part by not properly activating WYSPs encoder. Arbitron then fudged the data.

[edit] Protest

The only way to get the radio personalities back is to protest WYSP. If you know anybody that has one of these PPMs, instruct them not to listen to WYSP. This is the only effective method to get the radio personalities back, by getting CBS radio where it hurts; right in their declining ratings.

i have it on cassette, just give me a little bit to get it on MP3 format (i need 2 figure out how to do it). i did record it on my MP3 player, but its a little staticy being that im in Pottsville, but its remarkable for a portable device. but the cassette i recorded is perfect because it is on the stereo. too bad im not in levittown right this minute, b/c the recording on my MP# player would have been perfect. lol.

What do I think I think i am being force fed the same garbage i can already hear on either wmmr or radio 104.5 philly doesn't need another rock station that plays the same songs as the other ones what they had was something different and something refreshing if you want to hear music shell out the 12.95 a month for sat radio at least they play good music one disgusted wysp talks fan and by the way there are alot of us and i will be linking them all to this site i'm pretty sure there not aware of it

WOW THREE ROCKERS IN TOWN FOR ONCE IN A LONG TIME.....sorry for yelling but its about time, I cannot comment on YSP as of now, its too early, they seem to sound the same as two years back, minus the annoying Couzin Ed.  They have to dig deep and play many, many, tunes and Hair Bands.  104.5 is the best Rocker in town, large playlist and stuff not heard since the 90's.  What they are going to due is still vague, talk in the morning with O&A, is Kidd going to talk, is he still there, are they going to be music intense after O&A, are they going to air other football games on the weekend, flyers what is the format talk/sports/rock, is Frank Lario still on board he would be a great jock to be full time.  I still say, if you want to be the Active Rock leader, play the rock, no talk, sports or sexual jargon.  I can still remember the Tanya, Couzin Ed rants on his music show a few years back, enough to make you puke.  But for tonight enjoy, presets are 1045/941/933, XM is taking a rest, IMHO Lucy, Ethel and Fred are nothing to write home about, L and F play the same tired Alternative you can hear anywhere, RFF blows them away.
