Looks like the axes are falling everywhere, including here starting with Leslie Harris and Maura Miles. The entire country Alpha station are being hacked to pieces....

Cuts at Alpha Media

Hello Shizam!

They now have owned interest by foreign entities (beautiful) It is not widely discussed, but it is creeping into this aging, failing industry where the domestic banks no longer want to lose their asses financially with all the reasons people listened to anything except terrestrial radio.

I believe you will see a combination of 100.7 in Coal City and 95.1 in Kenosha. Or more likely the southern stations taking up the 95.9 or the 98.3 format and positioner. Further cuts, further consolidation, less variety, more crap and having more listeners vacate the medium. Great plan Alpha! Last one please turn the lights off, if the power company doesn't turn you off first!

Hey Z!

I can see 100.7 and 95.1....but what about WCCQ? Do they have a country station up north?

They do not care. They will cluster the North to their own and the South to their own.

WERV > WSSR share a lot of the same coverage area. Add in WCCQ there is a good amount there too. WRXQ signal reaches more south than the rest. If they "Star" all of those, Good Grief!

The only country station they own here is WCCQ. My guess is they simply run the country format as the bull from their home base. Not sure how the River factors into this?

Do you realize what they did to 102.3 and 105.5 in the North? They are eyeballing the same scheme in the south part of Chicago.

Yeah I realize that. Is the River and CCQ to close together to pair like they did with the Stars?

Hi Zak_rok. I said this in another post:

WERV > WSSR share a lot of the same coverage area. Add in WCCQ there is a good amount there too. WRXQ signal reaches more south than the rest. - Yes they can use the same slogan on all those stations.

Zak_rok, it is hard to tell. 95.1 is not Chicago and it is not Milwaukee. They have tired having the station report to each market individually, (Jeremy can correct me if I am not accurate, Kenosha is Chicago market, Racine is Milwaukee) just not enough footprint in either one to make a big difference.

Kenosha is Chicago market because of Hubbard and 96.9

Every other broadcaster wants Kenosha out of the Chicago market and Nielsen would prefer Kenosha County match their TV market but they need a certain amount of broadcasters to agree with it.

Because 96.9 is in Kenosha County, Hubbard has an advantage in that area for WDRV so obviously they don't want Kenosha County in the Milwaukee market

Todd “Bossman” Boss the morning guy was cut at Wccq. There was some speculation they were going to airing country programming from a station they have in Oregon. The Alpha Missouri stations are going to be airing Podcasts.

Good grief, podcasts on the radio???? I would just listen to the podcast, why even find an FM radio to tune into?

Oregon?? They should take WCCQ's programming and put that out national.

Podcasts. This is PRIME example of why radio is dying, fast, rightfully so. Cheap to throw on the air, kill the host (meaning terrestrial radio). AWESOME!

Terminating off more local radio (what is left of it). WERV gone? WCCQ gone? Even all the barley consuming men in Coal City bars will ride the bull or be shoved off into another medium if WRXQ is gone?

As of today Werv and Qrock are keeping their morning and afternoon drive hosts. , Freak does his show from his bar in Coal City. , He mentions his bar quite a bit on the air so he could have some sort of trade out deal with Alpha , the afternoon girl also works in billing/ traffic. Werv does very well being in the Naperville area so maybe that’s keeping them afloat for now.

I doubt WRQX seems to do be pretty well with their niche market. It would be nice to get a stronger signal but doubt that happens

Hard rock is the worst billing format in America. This is not my opinion, it is fact. That is why it is limited to smaller and unrated markets.

I was working with a Fortune 100 CFO, seeking funding for the demo WRQX targets. The answer I received was "How do you expect to make money and pay me back, targeting a bunch of unemployed or underemployed drunk men?" At the time I took offense, years later, I totally understand.

What I meant to say, yes I do not doubt they combine the 2 stations to run them on the cheap.

Worst case scenario is, both are gone and format is history.

Yeah what's interesting is no one has been fired at RXQ but two day parts fired at CCQ and one at the River.

WIIL is the least effected station of any of their on air RIFs aside from a couple air staffers and the PD. WRXQ's PD is programming WIIL now. It makes money. If it didn't, they would have flipped it a long time ago. A lot of car dealers and automotive repair companies run ads on WIIL.

WXLC on the other hand had it's entire airstaff blown out. WIIL's morning co-host VTs Middays. Everything else is out of Joliet and Crystal Lake and I can't see that as lasting much longer. There's just too much overlap with WZSR

My guess is they will have some major market talent syndicated across the country, on all of their stations within each format either in VT or AI form. Maybe a local shift here or there.

They are already pairing the mid-day show with Elwood being on both stations , I believe he is the PD for both stations also

Surprised they don't put Wjol's morning show on WCCQ as AM is nearly dead.

The Will Rock morning crew does a lot of remotes and appearances in the Kenosha area , dont see how that works in Coal City. Freak is on some trade out contract with doing his morning show from his bar , I think they keep it the same for now , maybe Werv and Qrock will eventually merge , who knows , its all sh*t no matter what they do.

If you follow Alpha's new trajectory (making their one station Podcast driven) they give 0 craps about remotes.

I am in total agreement with WYTZZ95FM. His longevity in the business/market speaks for itself.

Chicago is littered with various hard rock stations which ultimately failed.

1. Someone correct me if needed. WZZN-FM 94.7 evolved into an Active Rock format. It didn't last.

2. WWBZ-FM "The Blaze 103-5" stuck around for approximately three years. My impression was a hard rock "hits" format. Lots of repetition. When Major Broadcasting sold it, the beginning of the end. Hair bands pretty much ran their course.

3. WRCX-FM "Rock 103-5" came after "The Blaze." They began with an A-Z music presentation. The rock gradually moved to Active Rock. Like him or not, Mancow was the glue which held that station together. When Mancow left Rock 103-5 for Q101, the handwriting was on the wall. Some third-rate out of town morning show was plugged in and ultimately, the station failed.

Who owned WRCX-FM 103-5 when they flipped to Jamin' Oldies? Chancelor Media? AM/FM? My mind is foggy on this one. All I'm sure of is the parent company wanted to dump Active Rock. I presume the research said Jamin' oldies would work in Chicago, much like in other markets.

"The Rock" was another 3-year format before it flipped.

To sum it up, WYTZZ95FM is exactly right! Active Rock/Hard Rock doesn't work in the city of Chicago. It is a format which is impossible to sell to premium advertisers.

As a side note, I remember talking to someone who worked at WYTZ-FM (Z95). They were instructed to tone it down because parent company, ABC thought this CHR station rocked too hard. A steady diet of Whitesnake, Warrant, Guns N'Roses, Van Halen, Winger, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue mixed in with other artists on the Billboard charts. Imagine hearing Janet Jackson next to Motley Crue? I never had any issue with Z95 during their heyday. I'm unclear if a consultant issued this directive to soften the sound somewhat.

At or near the top of the hour, the jocks read a liner which said something like "Arbritron-rated #1" Z95, WYTZ-FM Chicago. In fact, Z95 used the VOICE of Ernie Anderson for their legal ID, station sweepers, etc. The same Ernie Anderson who was the voice of Z100/WHTZ-FM Newark/New York City as well as WTIC-FM 96.5 Hartford and many other stations. Ernie was the voice of the ABC television network in the 1980s. Casey Kasem did the same for NBC-TV.

One question, and I know these seem to be company wide. My guess is mis or bad management.

Question. Does any of this have to do with smaller sticks/smaller signals?
IE: your hometown station fades out while the "big" Chicago station can go miles and miles and miles.

Interesting reading. Makes one wonder how long the suits knew of this.

I feel horrible for all the affected personnel at Alpha Media. I can't really pick up any of their frequencies where I'm at now. I have good memories of being able to occasionally pick up either of the WILL Rocks (back when 96.7 was still WLLI) when I lived in Lake County IN. Just awful all the way around- the job losses, and the possibility of just a couple piped cookie cutter formats left behind (or Podcast Radio).

96.7 & 105.5 are "Star"
98.3 & 102.3 are "Free Country"

Following this pattern, I agree that 100.7 & 95.1 are probably next in line to be joined. But I also think 95.9 will be added to that group to make one big "River" or a Classic-Hits tweaked "Will-Rock" trimulcast. There is some distance between 100.7 and 95.9. Back in the 90's they used to carry the same satellite-fed oldies programing (WKKD/WKBM).

I wonder how long before they dump their AM signals.

Yes! Forgot about that. I also remember WKKD as "Pure Gold 96". They were live and local during the day and then satellite fed in the evening and overnight. I recall hearing the same feed on 100.7 around 1992-93.

Rockola, the golden days of 96.7 being Rock 40 in the 80s, Hot AC in the 90s, Hard Rock in the 2k are long gone. The days of HOT 102.3 (MASSIVE HUGE on-air sound rivaled the big sticks downtown) and now Star 102.3 are gone. The days of Bob Zack, Scott Childers, etc are done.

Even the River is showing cracks. The on air staff and PD are brave souls. They do as best with what they have. You do not give tools or money, you will not succeed.

The toilet is swirling @ Alpha. Sadly, the way they are going, it will overflow.

That is an interesting question. WJOL-AM has been super local for years. I will be honest I have not heard it in forever. Again, Alpha does not want to put any money to make things local and live, so, if it is cheap, it could work for them!

Z, everything is read here. I guess I was wondering about signals, in this case. Still, horrid!

Johnny Vegas wrote I wonder how long before they dump their AM signals. and I know you, Z, commented on 'LIP going dark (eventually) a year ago when this all began!

These places are being GUTTED.

Still remember and LOVED Hot 102.3.

"Alpha Media Chicago is excited to announce the rebranding" Who are they kidding? (WCCQ WXLC)
2nd rebranding of 102.3. First to Star, then this?

Pathetic. (Watching this from Upper Peninsula)
