I knew CBS would put them on somewhere. I'm happy to see it's on KROCK. Now there's a chance to really build that station back into the powerhouse it was before David Lee Roth demolished it.

Welcome back to FM!

hum.. I wonder if they're going to be like O&A in the WAAF days and mix in some tunes... was the music hour on XM a dry run for KROCK?
Going back to talk is kinda off strategy for the station... (I'll take the buddies either way.. but used to LOVE the old Krock show... no Hayseed callers... hope it's more talk then rock...)

HummerTuesdays
08-13-2007, 12:22 PM
I thought I just heard Ron say it was going to be a "Hostile takeover" that k-crap likes to do since they haven't hired any DJs yet. While not as good as the talk format, I'm still happy.

This also makes me wonder if it's an on-going thing or a one-shift deal.

demonseed
08-13-2007, 12:29 PM
Krock's hostile takeover's are just for one shift usually. They usually have bands do this every now and then.

08-13-2007, 01:35 PM
This explains why the Saturday night show was full of music. It's like a trial run for the KROCK Take-Over show.

Frankly, I'd prefer to have Ron & Fez just talk without the music, but getting some R&F is better than none.

Thank you. :clap::clap: That's exactly what I've been thinking, but I'll be listening intently to R&F rip apart the crappy, over-heavy-rotated shit the station tries to pass off as "cutting edge rock."

How many more times are they going to play, "Delilah" by the Plain White T's or "Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC as "classic rock & roll"? I HATE "regular" radio.

Just remember, that's how O&A started on WNEW. Then....less and less music. Then, almost no music. If this isn;t a one shot, expect R&F to do the same as they start getting ratings.

So be listening people and then be dialing K-Rock and telling them how much you loved it so they make it permanent. Then, wait a couple of moths and start calling complaining that R&F are playing too much music and you'd rather listen to THEM.

Not because they want to. Because Earl will run out of music.

I love the fact that R&F did a Hostile Takeover, but, the playlist fucking sucks! They need to allow R&F more talk, less record spinning!

okterrificsk2
08-14-2007, 08:06 PM
Well im not sure what that accomplished. The Ny radio listeners are already familiar with Ron and Fez as is CBS. They have a proven track record of getting ratings. I dont see what the point of it was. If CBS plans on bringing them back then why not just bring them back and get rid of the music garbage? I enjoyed the total 15 minutes of air time raf got but it aint worth listening through commercials and bad songs though.

Im sure the plan isnt for CBS to bring RaF back and force them to do a music show. I mean that would be like picking up AROD as a free agent and making him your reserve catcher. Its a waste of talent.

Garyisajoke
08-14-2007, 08:09 PM
Exactly. We know Ron wouldn't have played any of that if he truly threw the playlist out. I went back and forth to the stream but couldn't deal with the music. Alternative rock blows.

Mindslayer
08-14-2007, 08:36 PM
We all know that if it was up to the buddays the playlist would have been drastically different, but of course if theyre doing a 'hostile takeover' then they're forced to conform to whatever KRock wants them to play. Pretty ironic when you think about it, though, considering that if it was truly a hostile takeover then they would have been able to play whatever the fuck they wanted to.

Anyway, I tried giving it a shot, but I tapped out after they played 'Loser' by Beck.

Well im not sure what that accomplished. The Ny radio listeners are already familiar with Ron and Fez as is CBS. They have a proven track record of getting ratings. I dont see what the point of it was. If CBS plans on bringing them back then why not just bring them back and get rid of the music garbage? I enjoyed the total 15 minutes of air time raf got but it aint worth listening through commercials and bad songs though.

Im sure the plan isnt for CBS to bring RaF back and force them to do a music show. I mean that would be like picking up AROD as a free agent and making him your reserve catcher. Its a waste of talent.

Keep in mind... this is exactly how OnA got their start.
And yes... they already have a fan base and Deserve to have a show again but remember KRock is still trying to sell their current rock format.

Of course, I am trying to think in a positive direction. And I do hope this is just a sequence of necessary events leading up to another terrestrial spot for the boys.

And if this means something, ANYTHING, to you at all.... CALL KROCK and voice your opinion. Email, write a letter, send a fax.
Every person can help the situation by showing their support.
There are people at KRock who WANT the boys back. As fans and friends, we owe it to them to make ourselves visible .... in a polite, well spoken way of course.

Just my $.02 ... and I hope you guys will take a moment out of your days to call! :icon_bigg

I'm still happy for the boys. I want them on in some capacity. It's KRock. And should have been no surprise that they would be doing what the station does.

Sorry people couldn't hear Ron and Fez play fucking Iron Maiden and Mercyful Fate for four fucking hours. Nor would I believe Ron and Fez are into that either.

I just kind of think people are going way over the top negative here. KRock is not a talk station. And I'd love to see them swing the deal O&A have where they can do their show the way they want to. But let's not get overboard.

It wasn't about the music. They promoed R&F on K-Rock and wanted to see how many people tuned in and how much buzz it got. If there's enough interest generated, they'll give R&F a slot.

BABY stepsBut why promo them

on a station that already knows them
in a market that already knows them
in a format they don't thrive in or many of the listeners like

because basically it was a way to "trick" fans of ron and fez to tune into krock from 3-7 to listen to their shitty music. krock just wanted more listeners for the drive time slot. i honestly don't think it was anything about giving them a shot or seeing if their was a buzz about them, r&f aren't some fucking kids out of college just coming to ny for the first time its a show that been successful in ny for almost 10 years, krock doesn't need to set up some fucking try out for them. they know.

I tried giving it a shot, but I tapped out after they played 'Loser' by Beck.



Ha, ha.

That's where I tapped as well.

Its just shitty commerical radio. My time is too precious to listen to "commerical blocks" like that.

The MP3 player goes on during these music listening periods of my life.

I'm assuming Ron and Fez are still being paid by CBS Radio, so they are using them to fill spots til then. Much as everyone likes Ron & Fez, they aren't a PM drive show, especially not for a station like Krock. I could see putting them on later in the evenings on the station, but they belong on a talk station. Krock needs a show like the WAAF version of O&A for their afternoon drive time... something that does play a little music, but with attitude, if they are going to succeed as a Rock station. Kidd Chris comes too mind... I wouldn't listen, but they need something with a little more attitude than Ron and Fez.

Thank you! I never understood why K-crap got rid of the one show that was kicking everyone's butt in the 6-10 time slot. All we ever hear about is how important ratings are, they *finally* get a show that takes ONE book to be #1 in the key demos, and CBS takes them off the air to play more Nirvanna, AC/DC, and other crap that we'ver heard too many times.

Other music stations have shows later in the day. WPLJ has Rocky Allen, and while that's not a true talk format, it's not just a couple of guys spinning the same crappy shit.

I love Ron & Fez but refuse to listen to another "hostile takeover" that is neither hostile nor a take over. They bitch about Earl's depth of play lists...I think K-crap's is even smaller.

The good news is that Krock understands their worth and is trying to find something for them.
The bad news is that the type of show they played yesterday aint it.
I have 2 ideas- have them do a new version of "Fastest hour in Radio" from 9-10am to get the last hour ratings on Krock that O&A need for stronger numbers or put them on from 7-11pm as a talk show and let them do their thing. Later night shows always have talked more and played music less.

It's on the KROCK site now.


Ron & Fez Hostile Takeover
Tune in Tuesday, buddays, as Ron & Fez take over afternoon drive.
The boys will be in the driver's seat, playing the same fuckin' K-Rock playlist,
and playing the songs they don't want to hear from 3-7pm.

in a market that already knows themYou've still got to determine how big of an impact Ron & Fez will have on a music station as opposed to being one talk show around many talk shows.



in a format they don't thrive in or many of the listeners like

This isn't determined until ratings start coming in enough for the station to trend. As for a format they don;t thrive in, it's a start. Then, like O&A on NEW, theyt tweak it to be what works for them and, if the ratings go up, KRock will not say Boo about it.

Imagine how happy we'd be...
listening to RON & FEZ doing their regular k-rock talk show...

if EARL hadn't walked in on that meeting
when the ratings were killer
and the conversation was just turning to
merging the 2 shows.. ala opie and anthony...!!!

and there was no reason for earl to be there...
(i think he was looking for jelly beans)

THANKS ALOT EARL !!!

Gee, seems like their having recently been #2 in their target demo after only a couple months on the air is plenty clear a gauge.



My wet dream would be that if/when they return, they get syndicated to Philly. R+F are a perfect fit for this city.

even the old FreeFM show was NEVER going to be syndicated outside of NYC
