  • The History Of Frederick's Z104 (WZYQ) With Kemosabi Joe (Ep 8)

    The History Of Frederick's Z104 (WZYQ) With Kemosabi Joe (Ep 8)
    Aug 20 2024
    In the 1970's, 80's and 90's, there was a great CHR radio station in Frederick called Z104.

    Kemosabi Joe was the Program Director and did mornings in the 1970s and 1980s.

    On this episode, we discuss how Joe made a small radio station sound so big.

    Some of the topics we cover during this episode:

    The secret that made Z104 such a great radio station

    Why Joe liked to recycle DJ names, somebody would leave, and he would give the new person the old person's name.

    How Z104 was a launching ground for new DJ's, and a temporary home when someone in DC or Baltimore would lose their job.

    Christmas Cash For Kids - A fundraiser that Z104 did every year for 20 years.

    We also talk about the jingles Z104 used.

    Where Joe went after Z104, and what he's doing today.

  • The Inside Story Of WTOP Moving From AM To FM With Joel Oxley (Ep 7)

    The Inside Story Of WTOP Moving From AM To FM With Joel Oxley (Ep 7)
    Jul 30 2024
    WTOP's Senior VP/General Manager Joel Oxley takes us behind the scenes of WTOP's move from 1500 AM to 103.5 FM in 2008.

    In 2008, FM was mainly used for music programming, and news, talk, and sports formats were on AM.

    Around the country, FM stations did not have many spoken-word formats at that time.

    On this episode, Joel takes us behind the scenes on the steps he took to convince the station ownership that moving to a full market FM signal, would be a good move

    He also talks about some of the risks they faced, such as the possibility that the AM audience might not move to FM and that the extra revenue the station may generate from the move might not be enough to make up for the revenue they were going to lose by killing off the classical format that was on 103.5.

    We also talk about why the first two new formats they tried on 1500 AM after the move didn't work.

    The Launch Of A New Radio Station - WBIG "Oldies 100" With Steve Allan (Ep 6)
    Jul 10 2024
    Steve Allan was the Program Director who launched Oldies 100 (WBIG) when Colfax Communications bought the radio station in 1993.

    On this episode, Steve talks about the other formats they considered and why they decided on Oldies.

    Steve shares his strategy to beat direct competitor Extra 104 (WXTR), how he hired the original airstaff before the station's launch, and how they kept the new format a secret with two other radio stations in the building.

    Word eventually leaked to DCRTV and The Washington Post.

    Steve shares how he orchestrated a false story leak that the station would flip to a Country format, a strategic move to keep the actual format change under wraps.

    He also shares the backstory of hiring his morning team, Jim London and Mary Ball from WMZQ, and how he hired Loo Katz from Mix 107.3 (WRQX) when he was PD of WASH.
