NEW MORNING SHOW ON CITADEL RADIO>>>>>>>>>NEW MORNING SHOW ON CITADEL RADIO


On Monday, June 4th, “Joe & Angie” will open the mics on WOKI 98.7 EARL-FM. WOKI Program Director Joe Stutler will join forces with Citadel Creative Director Angie Wilson weekday mornings from 6 to 10.

The morning show is the latest in a series of updates to WOKI’s Adult Hit format, which has recently been infused with a new mix of music.

Joe has been with Citadel Broadcasting since 2000 (owned by Dick Broadcasting at the time). Listeners will recognize Joe from his recent mid-day stint on WOKI 98.7 FM, as well as his history with “The River” and his on-camera work as “Mayor Joe” on WTNZ Fox 43.

Angie has been employed at Citadel Broadcasting for the past 11 ½ years as Creative Director for all four of Citadel’s radio companies. She’s spent the past 5+ years as Hallerin Hilton Hill’s Friday Sidekick and fill-in host on WNOX. A Knoxvillian and graduate of Halls High School and the University of Tennessee, Angie is looking forward to being part of the radio scene she grew up with.












Friends mark the 4th of July down as the "possible" day the republican party
starts to take back D.C.


Yep, the RED TRUCK could be heading north and
if those who predict things are correct it
just might have a load of cash in the back
to help FRED win the BIG ONE!

Ben has one GREAT media website dedicated to East Tennessee media mavins.
Here is his report on the sale of ABC radio to Citadel. Be sure to bookmark
his site!


The left side of the country is begging ALGORE to engage but daily
more cracks form in his GLOBAL WARMING PLATFORM.
Bless his heart if this keeps up the
SWIFT BOAT BOYS can stay at the dock!

INSIDER TYPES at CBS are whispering in the dark halls about how to move
Katie out of news and back into morning TV on their network.
She just had a near record breaking LOW and with the TODAY SHOW

where she is most comfortable. Sounds like a good plan so
naturally it will NEVER happen!

East Tennessee has just seen a new shift in Local TV news, THIS JUST IN FROM
WVLT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




WVLT Volunteer TV News

#2 Most Watched Local News AND GROWING!

In the Knoxville market

6:00 A.M. – Midnight



WVLT Volunteer TV News is the ONLY Knoxville TV News Operation to increase the cumulative number of households watching its daily newscasts from May 2006 – May 2007!



#1 WBIR 191,000 households – May 2007 *

243,000 households – May 2006

-1,000 household LOSS year to year



WBIR total does not include news capsule at the top of its LIVE @ 5:00 program. All information is based on final Nielsen metered household estimates measuring household totals for dayparts containing local news programming 6:00-7:00 A.M.; 12:00-12:30 P.M.; 4:00-4:30 P.M.; 5:00-5:30 P.M.; 5:30-6:00 P.M.; 6:00-6:30 P.M.; 7:00-7:30 P.M.; 11:00-11:30 P.M.





Note:



Special thanks from all of us in the WVLT Newsroom to Dan and Laura Greenberg of Norman Hecht Research and Larry Rickel of The Broadcast Image Group. Dan and Larry presented some very timely research information and recommendations prior to the May ratings period. We immediately started incorporating some of their key recommendations! Thanks Larry, Dan and Laura!



Most of all, on a personal note, I salute the management and staff of WVLT. May 2007 marked the 23rd consecutive ratings period demonstrating consistent and steady growth that has seen the WVLT news audience grow more than 300%. It has been a total station-wide team effort involving individuals from all departments within WVLT-TV. It has been an extraordinary experience for me to have been a part of this station’s explosive growth for the past 6-and-a-half years! Thank you!



Straight from the heart,

Steve

I agree Rosie will be either back on TV or featured on CNN when she climbs tower with a thirty 0 6 and kills a bunch of people in Texas!

The woman is fat
The woman is gay
The woman is liberal
The woman is a bore
The woman is now out of work

Bye rosie

Rosie is back on her blog and telling her side of the View fight. What will RIGHT WING FOX have to talk about now that she is gone!

Anonymous said...

I am a gay liberal democrat and I have to agree that Rosie was growing very old on the View. It isn't much of a show and it proved it by letting her take over so fast.

I also don't think she will be offered any good opertunities because she couldn't generate viewers over the long haul.

steve crabtree using "Straight from the heart"... how tasteless can he get. what a smartass jealous shot at wbir!

p.s. hey liberal commi, 6 sucks

SIX is growing at 6 pm...look at the over night NUMBERS! WVLT is just a joke and as long as Steve Crabtree is there it will always be one!

As for the Al Gore...Fred Thompson thing, I bet both of them duck out. Who would want to run after the man who would be king screwed up the country beyond belief!

I hate you but your blog is growing on me! No kidding, it is ok from a right wing point of view, still I am glad you were banned from knoxviews.com and it is wonderful to see you no longer write for Betty and Sandra. Why don't get get another radio job so we can FIRE you again! LOL

Anonymous said...

I don't like your blog or your right wing trash. You are not worth reading either her or in the Halls News. I am so glad Betty FIRED you! Isn't it true you were fired from all your radio jobs?

Grow up and stop bothering everyone with this crap. I was one of those who were very happy to see you banned from knoxviews.com!!!!

Go away!!!!

Gee, Uncle Walker, you sure did make someone at Six mad at you! Why are they so hot under the collar at you?

Ten still leads in the news wars but they are so heavy on the cheese factor in their chit chat at the end of the newscast. They try so hard but they come across so fake.

Eight is probably enjoying their growth because they seem more like East Tennessee folk and they have improved their presentation so much. Now if they could only dump a couple of the hick reporters.....

Uncle Walker, if someone continues to rip you a new one, get out your boots with the pointy toes used for kicking sh** in corners and lay into 'em. Then sic your dog on their butts. :o)
