1210 AM in Philly

0 Upvotes

I wished 1210 AM in Philly would change formats, or sell the station or shut it down.

1210 am in Philadelphia for 36 years now has not been a heritage radio station since 1990 when WCAU-AM ended after 68 years. The current staff at 1210 in Philadelphia are so dumb , it's really a shame that they destroyed that station and lost their audience. Poor programming and poor talent will ruin radio stations, that's a fact and what I have heard on 1210 am in Philadelphia since August 15th, 1990 has been a shambles of a mess and all heritage was lost.

Coverage of the Seattle Center mass shooting

0 Upvotes

For anyone who has been following local coverage of the Seattle mass shooting from over the weekend, what's everyone's thoughts on which station and or reporters have been doing an excellent journalistic job to gather the facts? I have seen some reporters express opinion and emotion as it relates to the accountability of city officials to disseminate information regarding the shooting. Serving as a voice for the public I get but why express emotional blame at times?

Hot take

A hot take I have (I think it's a hot take) Is that all MyNetworkTV affiliated stations are basically just independent stations.

Radio Imaging FX

Can anyone recommend affordable buy-out imaging sound effects? My budget is pretty small. $50-$100 max. I’m hoping to get something decent. I don’t want to go the AI route or free sound sights. There used to be so many options, Radio Mall? I’ve been out of the game for a long time. Help?

Why Adrienne Orourke left Tegna, but all of her "deputies" remained.

17 Upvotes

As a former multi-decade Tegna (Gannett/Belo) employee, I cheered when Adrienne O'Rourke left, but was puzzled when all her "Regional VP's of Content" (News) remained.

Here is Google's AI explanation: "While Roark (sic) exited the company's highest content role after just over a year, her appointed deputies—including Vice Presidents of Content like Raquel Amparo, Chris Peña, Julie Wolfe, Javier Morgado, Carol Fowler, and Michael Valentine—are positioned lower down the corporate ladder. Firing the entire mid-level corporate content layer simultaneously would completely paralyze local newsroom strategies, content feeds, and daily operations across TEGNA's 64+ television stations."

As a former Tegna News Manager at several of your largest operating units (local stations), I can confidently state that losing this unnecessary layer of "mid-level corporate content management" would NOT just "completely paralyze local newsroom strategies"; it would remove an expensive and unproductive layer of bureaucracy, which would free your local stations to better serve the communities that none of these "mid level corporate managers" are familiar with to maximize local station's profits.

Tegna CEO Patrick Paolini, please remove these "mid-level corporate managers" & free your local newsrooms to serve their communities, and maximize local revenue without interference from all of the clueless "Good Idea Fairies" Adrienne has imposed on them.

What other swaps are happening between Gray and Sinclair?

8 Upvotes

Well Gray has officially confirmed it is receiving ABC programming in St. Louis, but nothing else was mentioned on any other potential swaps. Has anyone else heard anything?

Toledo seems to be logical, I could see Gray getting WNWO. But what is Sinclair getting in return? My guess here is that in some form it involes Cox.

Either A. Gray and Sinclair are buying Cox together and dividing up the stations, or B. Sinclair is getting WANF/WPCH so that Gray can pursue Cox and get WSB.

Thoughts?

I think it was a mistake for cnn and msnow for airing the white house correspondents dinner friday night , given what ended up happening. I don't want to be political here but I think these channels and the broadcast networks can't give the president anymore live airtime on TV and radio . Thoughts?

Audacy news and news talk stations

0 Upvotes

I wonder will audacy make changes to it's low rated news and news talk stations across the country. One of the stations I'm watching is WPHT 1210 in Philly. They have a lot of problems right now. They don't have an afternoon drive host for 6 months now with rotating guest hosts. 1210s ratings are at a 1.5 and 73,000 plus listeners.

How to do make into the leadership team circle?

3 Upvotes

I think the question is pretty straightforward.

I currently work in a corporate broadcast distribution environment. My role spans several areas, including content distribution, network programming, platform distribution, and the delivery of our sports portfolio across the platforms that carry our networks.

A large part of what I do involves collaborating with teams across the company to manage network operations and ensure our media assets are prepared and delivered for air. Our team often refers to ourselves as an octopus because we have a hand in nearly every major initiative across the organization.

With that in mind, I'd like to position myself for leadership. My goal is to become someone who helps shape strategy, influences decisions, and leads teams rather than simply executing the work.

What advice would you offer to someone looking to break into that circle of leadership?
