I heard some new guy on nights on Magic. He’s not on the kzmg website, so I don’t know anything about him, does anyone? Why have they not marketed him? Who is this Dickman guy?

The Boise radio market is OVER-EVERYTHING’D. Too much CHR, too much country, too much Air 1 and more Butt Rock than anyplace I can think of. It’s not my format of choice, but the few minutes I spent with Wild 101.1, the imaging sounds solid. Good luck to Impact.

I have checked out this website for months and to be honest am a little suprised. Why is everybody so hateful? My comments are around Dan Tooker and staff. The guy gets cut because of budget and everybody says how bad he sucks. That is just bitter. The guy didn’t suck. Was he on the wrong station? Yes but he was also fed a lot of lies and that is why he probably came here. They fed them to us as well. Tooker had results at events and otherwise. Were Citadel and Tooker messed up was the Hooker and Tooker deal. I was in a meeting and Melissa and Matty are doing all of Tooker’s promotions. What is going to happen when they run out? (EDIT) Did he talk trash in a building that people trashed him including above? No. Nobody on this board should get trashed. The industry is what is wrong. Stop knocking talent and start looking else where. Three CHR’s in a market shows you how F-ed up this market is. Kiss will win because they KNOW who they are. Magic did nothing for a year but hire a Large market morning show and did nothing else. Somebody mentioned it on this board. 3 M’s. Mornings, Music and Marketing. They had one. I was personally in meetings where the PD and GM said we would have all three on Magic. The morning show was all about family and helping the Treasure Valley and the afternoon show was about ….Well the afternoon show. Was about himself. Tooker and gang faught till the end but had no support. We all saw it coming but they faught till the end. People in the building laughed and talked trash but Tooker , Matty and Casey faught on. I hope all of you who judge don’t turn out like them. They are all good people who worked harder then most but got screwed because of the state of radio.

Editor’s note: Removed a short piece of innuendo that doesn’t belong here. The edit doesn’t change the overall tone of this comment. Also, saying the Tooker show didn’t fit on the station is only my opinion – but it is not meant as an attack.

The CHR format IS becoming quite saturated in this market. It will be interesting to watch what happens. After their 15,000 song stunt, is Wild 101 going to add live talent and a local morning show, or are they going to head more into the automated realm of Bob FM?

Even though 93.1 isn’t doing real well, they do have the significant advantage of a much stronger signal than Wild 101. So does Kiss. Driving around Boise, I’ve noticed that Wild’s signal gets quite fuzzy and distorted in spots. They seem to cover Nampa, Kuna, and well, their city of license, Parma, much better than Boise.

It reminds me of the old days of “The Music Monster.” Their signal was rough in downtown Boise as well. However, they really took off- if only for a short time.

This will be interesting to watch.
