[uncle sam]

the pair this morning was horrible. Not sure of their names but it seemed like they had no plan and just winged it.

This is almost a carbon copy of when Coca Cola bring out “new coke”

[agent007]

After today, my car radio resigned from ever playing 95.1fm. Horrible!

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

The tears of 95.1 listeners tastes so good. I hope this thread never gets deleted.

who ever is the station manager / brand manager / product advisor / product cooordinator needs to be fired.

from the voracious comments on their FB and other social media... it seems that they have angered their grassroots ppl and have lost and will continue to loose their traditional / demographic listener base.

if i wanted to listen to Jamaican crap and R&B i wud tune into 93.5 / 94.1/ 94.7/ 96.7

i want to listen alternative / rock so where does that put me now??

in all fairness i will take a listen in tomorrow and evaluate the quality of programming ...

but to be honest it looks like crap...even the poster has mike ross like the odd man out...everyone looking so urban and modern with the fake hair color and tight shirt and tight pants..only thing missing is the Jamaican accent.

[nervewrecker]

I listen last night, had mike ross. But had to keep my eyes on the road so couldn't blast out

They should have branded the station into a full Classic Rock station because there are a LOT of people who would constantly listen knowing that good music will be playing all the time. It's a model that all radio company brands do in USA and Canada, where at least one of the family of station networks play a specific genre to cover their listeners and avoid them from switching the station.

Then create a very popular morning show with a popular personality who understands the music, add some contests to get people involved, and you just raking in the money with ads on a high subscriber list. Classic Rock will definitely make it big here because just look at how Wednesdays used to be, except it was the same playlist over and over. There are much more Classic Rock hits to play.

I taking all these inferences as a regular daily listener of Q107 Toronto and the Corus Brand of Entertainment. They have employed this model and it sure as hell works! e.g. http://www.corusent.com/about/our-brands/radio/ Look at what they cover, The entire market!

Just a 2 cents. Really gave up on local radio a long time ago.

[SR]

Well its now the morning poo

[pugboy]

they have certainly gotten rid of staff who were very knowledgeable about the music industry in general
as well as the local music industry.

[Syberfraggle]

News cast this morning @ 6am was done while 'Layla' was playing loudly in the background...someone was asleep in the studio.

You urban music lovers don't know real music so you won't understand. Stick to 94.1 you urban music lover

Invest in a USB deck.

If the station was so good it wouldn’t have had to switch so out of the blue on you 43 to 47 listeners.

[Paw Patrol]

These ole farts here need to realize its all about $$. Not what you like or what you rather have.

Its the numbers that do the talking.

i would love to actually hear disturbed / mudvayne and other less known bands on a daylight as opposed to hearing the crap they playing now...

now is level urban EDM i await to see if they play selections from vybes cartel and such...if so...time to switch...

Well its now the morning poo

SR speakeath the TRUTH

they have certainly gotten rid of staff who were very knowledgeable about the music industry in general

YUP....i grew up with Jb and J ambrose...and others... now these new persons eah have one clue in a sheit storm of what they doing.

Rethink your playlist...

These ole farts here need to realize its all about $$. Not what you like or what you rather have.

Its the numbers that do the talking.

What numbers you talking about?
IIRC, 95.1, 100.1 and 105 are the oldest FM radio stations I know. IMHO if any radio stations can capitalize on older loyal listeners then these are the ones.
95.1 is part of the TBC radio network [95.1, 99.5, 100.5, 105, 106.1, 106.5 and 90.1 (Guyana)] which is part of the Guardian Media Limited. They clearly have enough stations to keep 95.1 as an alternative/ mainstream/ 80's/ classics radio station and maintain that market share.
To me it looks like they just threw the older/ loyal listeners under the bus.

BTW anyone knows where Luis will be next? He did say he is going to a higher frequency. Maybe Emmet gave him a call?

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Luis said he was doing a podcast?

Rumour has it he is the new host of Chutney Train on 103.1!!

[mitch1980]

last week his last few days Luis kept saying he will be uncensored so he can speak his mind.

[SR]

Luis in an uncensored podcast will be epic

Music is overrated. BBC World Service for it!

[Average]

I never really had any reason to listen to the radio on mornings, I work shift but I did choose 95.1 to get a particular type of music when I was in that mood. So what you all are saying is that 95.1 has begun to morph into 96.1?
