In reply to: the Formal Observer 's message, "I hope Beck stays forever on WPHT so he can continue to annoy the hell out of you armchair radio programmers and executives." on 23:13:18 11/05/02 Tue

I read your other post about Heath Kits and it brought back memories of the late 50's and early 60's. I too, built a few radios back then. I also agree that a radio broadcasting company is in business to make money. But, I don't see how Beck and Katz are adding to the bottom line for WPHT. If the younger listeners are in support of the two, so be it. I now listen to 710 AM.

Never had any desire to be a radio programmer/executive. I'll stick with my vocation, physical chemistry, even though now retired.

[> [> [> [> Beck has already been around longer than that. I'm told his numbers are.... discouraging, and that's compared to Imus. Until WPHT can get control of their lineup, that 3.0 rating 12+ is the best they can hope for. Based on that number, we can infer that the 25-54 male figure isn't much better overall. As the only mainstream talker in town, they should be doing MUCH better. -- Tilde, 09:05:48 11/13/02 Wed
