KNUC has a new morning show

98.9's Rock logo looked like a bastardization of KISW's logo.

The Country logo looks like a TV dinner box.
 
Why spend any money on a website when the format will be jerked off the air in a year or less?

Yep...couldn't agree more. (The key is spending money on promotions so as to build an audience...somehow that doesn't cross their little minds.)

No, that's a tactical gimmick for people who are already listening to the station to listen longer. The post you replied to said "build," as in getting people to actually be aware and come over to the station.

People who are actually here in Seattle know of no such promotion from Country 98.9.

That is so 2014.

I'm sorry, but they will never get away with that in Today's Millennial Hipster Tech Savvy World of Social Media. And HR may also want a word about sensitivity to unnatural animal appropriation and financial capabilities within a realistic and ethical time frame, as April is Leporidae Awareness Month and they are dedicated to observing every single day of it.

This is 2018. And Hubbard Seattle should use Clickbait. It was invented right there. It's the art of taking a relevant fact (like fairly current alternative rock without too much '90s) and infusing it with questionable material (Kelly Clarkson, Maroon 5, Katy Perry) for more than it's worth. Only the concept was taken to Eastern Europe and remixed into a social media warhorse and a national intelligence nightmare.

And today, you don't have to be indirectly affiliated with Cambridge Analytica to use it anymore. The secret is curiosity grabbing trending catchwords for the follower's internal panic switch and hashtags placed in the social media messaging to get maximum attention from easily buzzed people. For example:

"WERE LIVE ON-AIR #BREAKING Something's In The Air Over #PugetSound and Radio Engineers Know The SHOCKING FACTS!! Seattle Is Speechless!! OMG!!; Hear the explosive audio #LIVE with this one weird trick: country989fm.com"
