Yeah. The New Times for decades has managed to select media "honorees" who are the least listened to on the least known stations in the Valley of the Sun.Who?

I am waiting for the Media Hut to give a full and perceptionated* analysis.
Perceptionated. Adj. Seen from an obtuse and nefarious angle with no required visibility of reality.
Dunno...we're too preoccupied with the coming of All Ho-Ho-Ho Music on 99~Nine. Just don't understand why the NewTimes continuously overlooks Steve Goddard on KAZG - he's on the air seven days a week!Yeah.

That in a word sums up the essence of what it is Nurse Jeff and I do at the Buckeye Media Hut... (but let's keep it a secret)Perceptionated. Adj. Seen from an obtuse and nefarious angle with no required visibility of reality.
I don't think KWSS is going to shut down/change their format any time soon unless they run out of money. It's a very shoestring operation.I can think of a few stations named Best of Phoenix that changed format before the next issue.
Nice work!That in a word sums up the essence of what it is Nurse Jeff and I do at the Buckeye Media Hut... (but let's keep it a secret)
You can say that about some of the bigger stations in the market, too!I don't think KWSS is going to shut down/change their format any time soon unless they run out of money. It's a very shoestring operation.
True. Mostly on the AM dial though.You can say that about some of the bigger stations in the market, too!
Well, that even beats Limbaugh, who was on 5 days a week even after he left for the very clear channel in the sky.Just don't understand why the NewTimes continuously overlooks Steve Goddard on KAZG - he's on the air seven days a week!
If it's like the New Times in at least some other cities, they post a 'reader's poll" on their website for a few weeks prior to the publication of the 'Best Of" issue, where they'll list up to 3 businesses within each listed category and subcategory for readers to click on to vote, or you can type in your own if you don't see your favorite listed. You can "vote 1 time per day for all your favorites in multiple categories".If this is voted by the readers, not surprised the honorees are not the most-listened-to stations/hosts. They probably didn't vote McDonald's best restaurant either.
I've been streaming KWSS for a bit and quite like the music mix. Pretty rare to see a commercial eclectic music station these days.
Speaking of secrets, why is a town in the desert named after Ohio's state tree?That in a word sums up the essence of what it is Nurse Jeff and I do at the Buckeye Media Hut... (but let's keep it a secret)
A hundred years ago, the company bought a LOT of land in the area.And then, of course, why is a town named Goodyear when the only rubber in the area is sold at drug stores?
Oh, I'm aware of that. It still seems as odd as does Truth or Consequences, NM.A hundred years ago, the company bought a LOT of land in the area.
The land was used to grow cotton. Strands of woven cotton were used in the production of Goodyear tires. So how come the Goodyear blimp doesn't show up in its namesake town? The only blimps Nurse Jeff and I've seen are at the all you can eat restaurants!A hundred years ago, the company bought a LOT of land in the area.
