Thread: AMP Sez "Something Big is Coming Tonight"

could AMP be getting a morning show? CHR-Flavored "Movin" in SF dropped their morning show with Maria Todd and Chunky for the San Francisco faves, Fernando and Greg (who recently lost THEIR job when Energy 92.7 KNGY Flipped) Chunky is apparently in NYC (as evidenced by his recent tweet "In my cab rolling down to 52nd st blasting 923 now fm "empire state of mind" ... love this city.")....

Quote: It's still developing. Don't write it off yet Mark. If I remember correctly, when Dom flipped Q95-5 to Channel 9-5-5, everyone said "it's the same shit, different name" for a month or two. It wasn't though, was it? it ended up killing off DRQ. I would argue DRQ largely ended up killing itself through poor counterprogramming. The main problem was a GM with a Hot AC background who couldn't keep...

CBS's CHR stations in New York and Los Angeles don't have morning shows yet. I think CBS is just fine with being "music intensive" in the morning.

They will not win unless they snatch Mojo from 9-5-5. I have to disagree. Yes Mojo is a great Morning show host and has H*** following BUT! what else does channel have? NOTHING.

Congratulations on overcoming and having a successful life. My point though is that you are in the minority. Not enough of you in the market to make your beloved station stick around. True the youngins' aren't going to hit the BMW dealer, or Lou the Diamond Broker, but surprisingly, there are advertisers who target and make money off the teen-34 set. All CBS is doing is playing the game and the cards they're given. Can't...

I have given Amp a few listens lately. Awful. How do you fuck up Top-40? There couldn't be an easier format to program. Big Boy is actually a pretty good pickup, though. He certainly seemed to have an audience.

chunkie is coming to amp from 11pm to 3am. Why not just bring big boy as the night host for both stations
