With Mancow or any talk show in the morning, The X has not been a true alternative station in the past year, It's leaned more Active Rock... My opinion is that problem is not the people, it's the organization and selection of music with 3 different genres of rock music stations at Journal...The genres are changing faster than the gurus can program...And that's just not locally...most clusters with more than 2 of the similar formats eventually have problems with finding their musical identity...

Satellite Programming? Since I have been here over the last 6 years Matt is only the 3rd PD, I've been the MD now for 2 and a half years and in all this time I can't remember ever being told to play a song! I don't know who you are, but I hope you keep thinking of the X that way. Just makes it easier for us! Thanks. Herb, you’re getting us confused with Clear Channel! Satellite Programming?

Herb- just a couple things.... I did not, nor would I ever work for Jave. I competed AGAINST him and quite regularly beat him. And I like it here. A lot. I came here because I wanted to live here. There are very few "top 20 markets" that I would ever choose to live in. Im a quality of life guy, not a market jumper. Youll learn that about me soon enough. Thanks. Hi again.
