Charlotte Radio Preview: Part 2

Written Sep. 25, 2007 by Sean Ross in Content + Terrestrial Radio with 0 Comments

A few more notes from my advance listening to Charlotte radio:

* This is undoubtedly a problem that the CBS folks are glad happened yesterday. Both R&B WPEG (Power 98) and Country WSOC had their request lines go out yesterday. That left WPEG's fill-in middayer taking an e-mail to give away concert tickets, while the high-profile afternoon team on WSOC was audibly relieved when the phones (obviously a big part of the show) came back.

* Listening to the battle between WSOC and Clear Channel rival WKKT (the Kat) is a lot like the AC battle between the two companies referenced yesterday. WSOC has a personality-driven show in afternoons. You can hear cold segues on WKKT.

* And if you want to hear the market's newest station while you're in town, it's on 102.3, the new WGSP-FM (La Tremenda), the first large-market FM outpost of a regional network that extends from Knoxville, Tenn., to Jacksonville, Fla.
