There are talks at work about BIG Changes.... I sell radio ads... fun and often frustrating all at the same time... I work for an oldies station (60s & 70s Hits... Funny that is now considered oldies).. anyway... the station holds it's own.. but isnt making money.. and you know it's all about making a profit.... so.. there has been some behind the scene talks..

No one will say but I think they are going to "flip" the station to another format...

 

This could be bad at first.. but maybe good in the long run.... After 6 months of working for this company and FINALLY getting some stable accounts... I may loose due to the change.... and then start over... ON THE OTHER HAND... if this is a great format with the right DJs it could sell like hot cakes... (who buys those by the way???)

 

There have been 4 stations in the market that have been sold to different companies... and there is talk of 2 flipping... hm.... The company that flips first stands to take the biggest advantage of the change.. rumour on the street is they are flipping tomorrow.... I dont know if thats true...

 

Lots of advertisers and agencies are talking about it.. what will it mean?? Time will tell.. but i think I'll have to say "Good bye" to the Oldies...

 

Updates as I get them....

I often laugh about what is consider "oldies"on the radio.I think it must change ever 5 to 10 years or so.Growing up with my grandparents oldies to them were the 40s and 50s.As a teenager i remember us having a "oldies"station that played 50s and 60s.Now a days the station we have were i live its "oldies"are 60s and 70s.I think sometime down the road "oldies"are going to be 70s and 80s.Making me a oldman.lol.

Flack

Our oldies station (KRXO) is slowly creeping up as well. It used to be 50's, then it was 50's-60's, and now it's 60's-70's.

 

My neices think I'm cool because I listen to 80's music. They say I'm "so retro." I tell them I never knew it went out of style!

My youngest daughter (14 this week) just told me "mom, the 80's are making a come back"... She was so serious about it.. I had to laugh.. and then I told her "The 80's never died"... She just laughed at me... yeah right mom... and then said, "I can't wait to wear those clothes and hair styles"... "the 80s are cool"... wow, we're cool... or at least we'd still like to believe it.. :lust:

 

Still your right.. those were great times, anytime I hear "Hot Blooded" or a song by Loverboy, I'm transported back to simpler times... but hey, word on the street.. the 80s are making a come back.. LOL... :D
