Is WFNZ in trouble?

I'm one of those that enjoys listening to WFNZ - although Marc James almost broke me. 

As I have been listening lately, it is nerve wracking to hear station promos (not ads, just clips of their shows) repeating themselves - over and over and over and over and over and over.  Some track back to much earlier in the season.  I get that promos can't be cut daily, but the staleness is getting ridiculous. I keep waiting to hear a clip of the Gettysburg address. i have also heard callers referring to it, the host at the time got ticked and cut them off.  

I don't know the radio business, but it seems like they would do anything to avoid replaying these clips if they had something else to run - like more ads.  I would have assumed that advertisers would have been flocking to them during the championship run, but doesn't seem that way.  This practice of repetition, coupled with them going off the air in my area (I listen via the app now) has me wondering if the are in trouble.

I'm not sharing to get people to trash hosts or guests, just wanted to know if they are going to be with us in the future.

I pretty sure they're fine.  But I'm sure local terrestrial radio is suffering a little with satellite and podcast. But I think there is always demand for local sports talk radio.

But what I do fine is the funny is the show promo for The Call-Up. The guy doing the promo makes it seem like Colin and Nate have met their life goal of being Mid-Day sports talk radio host.

Lol the app receives a different ad allotment than the live radio station gets. It's mainly PSAs and promos of their own shows on the app, but you get the regular ads if you listen to it through an actual radio. Why that is I have no idea, but it's always been like that. As far as I know, their ratings are fine, The Mac Attack just made some prestigious list a couple of months ago. I know Kroeger was dropped by a Winston-Salem affiliate many months back, but that's the only actual negative thing I know of.

Why do they ask stupid questions like this:

 

Why would Cam lose endorsements because he walked out of a press conference?

It's pretty silly to even think that would happen.

It's to generate discussion and callers. If nobody calls then no show.

Most of the media is trying to get your attention and will do literally anything. 

Dateline once faked a crash test on a car. They didn't do it becaue they didn't like the car. They know how to stir the pot.

You just inadvertently helped Franks show.

I stream it sometimes here in Raleigh, but dont know everyone's names, maybe u guys can help me out.

I like the early morning guys, but the guys on 10-12 today I just had to turn it off.  I think one of the guys is a Patriots fan

That would be Colin and Nate. Colin is a Panthers fan, but Nathan Conley is annoying as hell during football season because of his Patriots love. At least Nate isn't as bad as Marc James or Brett Jensen though because he's only annoying during football season. MJ and BJ were annoying 365 days a year.

I know why they do it.

I was just pointing out that it's ridiculous to think that Cam would lose endorsements because he walked out of a press conference.

I think people get annoyed by the fact that most of the hosts aren't Panthers fans and they let too many non-Panther fans call in.  College basketball season is boring as well.  I used to listen a lot but got bored.  The morning guys aren't bad sometimes though.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
