Watched them argue with a person on the other radio discussion board about Pat Benatar a year or so ago. Person had a valid opinion and they kept coming back with libtardish research etc…. Seemed like the dog piled the person with their rhetoric and accused the person of using “anecdotal evidence”. Ya ok.
Look, radio stations sound like garbage right now. The music selection is awful, the ratings system encoding is screwing up the quality and the voice tracked from out of town people on air are disconnected from the reality of living here. KZOK is a shell of its former self. “BUT THE RATINGS HAVE NEVER BEEN BETTER!!!” The listener experience has never been worse!
Goo Goo Dolls Iris? Seriously??? Wow, they just have some serious morons as their consultants. Let’s just squander away all the male listeners, that song belongs on Emma or Warm or Jet or some AC station. NOT a classic rocker! The Nielsen SCAM says their ratings are at or near the top. Yep total BS, koolaid drinkers will tell you with passion that system is accurate. NOT at all. Why do you think station groups are finally catching on and directing people to switch to the stream online? Because those metrics are measureable. Hopefully they can sort this miss out. Making radio sound like garbage!
KZOK is an embarrassment. All that heritage squandered and talent out of New York and Tampa on voice track. They also play the Red Hot Chili Peppers entirely too much, almost like it’s a competition between them and 107.7.
KZOK sounds absolutely awful now, I heard Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls on there the other day. What is that? That’s the stuff that KZOK used to rebel against. I wanna hear some real classic rock! Not this poor excuse mix or stuff that gets played on female targeting stations. The goo goo dolls. Good lord.
I’ve heard some other garbage like that on there and thought the person is mixing up the songs for the Jet and KZOK again. Ac/DC Back in Black on the Jet and We Belong by Pat Benatar on KZOK?? Melt with you by Modern English on KZOK? That’s not even close to Classic Rock, that’s mainstream top 40 from back then. Clueless.
Agreed!!!
