Radio Recordings: Format changes - Nov. 30th update................
http://radiorecordings.blogspot.com/2010/11/format-changes-nov-30th-update.html
Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Format changes - Nov. 30th update. Well, not all of the radio format changes are just to add to the endless list of stations airing only holiday music after all. In Chattanooga, the 'classic hits' format has come to WOGT 107.9, in this instance replacing the country format which aired for just over 5 years. By the way, the station was "oldies" prior to the 2005 change to country. Posted by Dave Kohl. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Sports Radio TV Beat. September 1, 2016.

Radio Recordings: October 2010
http://radiorecordings.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 12, 2010. Format change update - Oct. 12th. Norfolk VA has 3 times the fun this week, as 3 of the market's stations have done the switcheroo. Kiss-FM 105.3 has puckered for the last time, as the former urban contemporary station has become Magic 105.3 and gone further back in time to feature classic hits. In Terre Haute IN, WSDM 92.7 has just dumped its "country rock" format. As of now, the station is simulcasting sports radio WSDX-AM. Yet, in this case there is something to ...This one ...

Radio Recordings: Format Changes Update - Nov. 2nd
http://radiorecordings.blogspot.com/2010/11/format-changes-update-nov-2nd.html
Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Format Changes Update - Nov. 2nd. It's been rather quiet on the format change front, which is usually the case for November and December until the format switching heats up again in January. KVI 570 Seattle will be switching back to oldies. The "back" is not about the music. This station stops its current talk format after this week to turn to oldies for the second time in its history. Simply put, this format change is "getting old". Posted by Dave Kohl. Sports Radio TV Beat.

THE FRUSTRATED CONSUMER: October 2011
http://thefrustratedconsumer.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Why it is OUR spending that matters. Wednesday, October 19, 2011. Shouldn't businesses spend more of their behind-the-scenes time and effort on improving relations with current and potential customers? And less on how they can benefit by sharing our personal information? Two unrelated incidents this week bring this to mind. Recent researched from Stanford University shows how a lot of major companies are equipped to share our information without us knowing it (until now). Maybe I need to have better fait...

THE FRUSTRATED CONSUMER: February 2014
http://thefrustratedconsumer.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Why it is OUR spending that matters. Wednesday, February 26, 2014. Pulling Out The Staples. It's one of those seemingly minor things that the majority of people don't give a second thought to, and don't complain about. Not complaining about consumer issues is not a good thing. This is nowhere near as strange as when OfficeMax did away with their Perks program a few years ago and took away a huge reason for frequent shopping there. And it wasn't long after that when that company's problems began. The Broa...

THE FRUSTRATED CONSUMER: January 2014
http://thefrustratedconsumer.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Why it is OUR spending that matters. Wednesday, January 29, 2014. Think Before You Promote. There is nothing wrong with AMC Theatres sending out special offers to its e-mail list. But there is something wrong with, on January 25th during the coldest winter in years, sending out a promotion for a free ICEE - when you purchase one. Oh my! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

THE FRUSTRATED CONSUMER: Online Retailing At The Expense of Stores?
http://thefrustratedconsumer.blogspot.com/2015/02/online-retailing-at-expense-of-stores.html
Why it is OUR spending that matters. Sunday, February 22, 2015. Online Retailing At The Expense of Stores? The American Customer Satisfaction Index, a very reliable source of research and information, has revealed that their research shows a more than 5% increase in overall customer satisfaction with online retailers for the year 2014. What this means is that consumers are less satisfied with physical retail locations, while feeling better about the online experience. It would appear that the strategy is...

Tuesday, November 2, 2010. New York Oldies Lunch coming up. Oldies radio fans in the NYC area might wish to consider the "Oldies Lunch", scheduled for Saturday Nov. 13th at Ben's Deli on West 38th Street in Manhattan from 2 - 4 PM. Russ "Famous Amos" Di Bello and former WNBC and WCBS-FM's Big Jay Sorensen are two of the special guests, with WAXQ's Jim Kerr also expected to attend. There is no extra cost to attend other than lunch at Ben's. (If only they would go back to 60's prices! Posted by Dave Kohl.

THE FRUSTRATED CONSUMER: March 2012
http://thefrustratedconsumer.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Why it is OUR spending that matters. Wednesday, March 28, 2012. We as consumers should spend more time questioning ludicrous charges. I'm taking the wise suggestion of pointing them out as they come up. Yet, for this basketball game, the promotional materials point out that it will be "free parking". Of course, we don't want to say or do anything to discourage this. But it raises a very important question. What is it that was done so that parking for THIS event could be free? However, TM continues to esc...

THE FRUSTRATED CONSUMER: August 2011
http://thefrustratedconsumer.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Why it is OUR spending that matters. Thursday, August 11, 2011. Thanks to reporter Darren Rovell, whom I follow on Twitter, we have documentation of this practice by a Denver restaurant:. Of course, I replied to him hoping he "rounded down" when it came to a tip. Yet, even replacing the tip can still be a ripoff. Maybe the service wasn't good enough to justify the percentage tacked on. One of the times I pointed that out to a restaurant manager he appeared to be offended. So I pointed out that, if an...
