The rumored format change at CBS Radio's WYSP/Philadelphia looks to be a reality in the making as the station cut essential staffers and air personalities today. Surviving the cut is afternoon drive personality Kidd Chris who was on air today discussing the staff cuts, relaying that most of the air staff including Barsky, Matt & Huggy, and Scotty & Alex were let go. Also let go were Kidd Chris producer Brad Maybe and show staffer Monkeyboy.
The move comes one day ahead of Opie & Anthony's arrival for on location broadcasts Thursday and Friday in advance of their Virus Tour hitting Camden, NJ this Saturday night (9/15).
A return to a rock music format is expected, though not confirmed at this time.
Stay tuned for more details as they emerge...
I heard O&A survived the cut....

94.1 WYSP website (http://94wysp.com/)
The WYSP site still shows all the talk shows. They haven't yanked it down. They wasted no time back in the day when O&A got yanked for S4S3.
so i take it theres no kidd chris interview in philly with the boys this week now huh?
Opie's probably mad 'cause he'll still have to do Kidd Chris's show.

9/12/2007 - Today, we were let go by WYSP-FM. The station has decided to go in another direction, and unfortunately S&A were not in their plans. We want to thank all of the SNAholes who have supported us and tuned in every night. YOU were the reason we did this show every night. You killed us when we sucked and you laughed when we were kind of funny. YOU were just as important to the show as any of us! Keep checking out all of the websites as we try to land a job somewhere else...Click below to listen to the last half hour of the last S&A show on WYSP!
Thanks - Scotty, Alex, and Producer Mark

From the Philly Inquirer web site:
http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20070912_WYSP_changing_format.html
The Rock Is Back is the new slogan for WYSP (94.1), which at 5 p.m. Thursday is expected to announce that it will dump its guy-oriented talk format in favor of a mix of rock and talk.Gone will be the Barsky Show, Scotty & Alex, and Matt & Huggy, plus late-night fare including Loveline and John & Jeff. Paul Barsky himself is expected to remain under contract at the station, as will Vinnie the Crumb, who does work on the CBS station's Eagles broadcasts. Barsky sidekick Kim Douglas was let go.
Opie & Anthony, the New York-based syndicated morning talk show, will remain, as will Kidd Chris, on afternoons. (Chris' producer, Brad Maybe, and sidekick Monkeyboy, were let go.)
Opie & Anthony are in Philadelphia for live shows Thursday and Friday, leading up to their concert appearance Saturday at the Tweeter Center.
WYSP, once a dominant force in Philadelphia, has seen a steep ratings decline since morning host Howard Stern left for satellite radio in December 2005. In the July Arbitron ratings, WYSP was ranked ninth among its bread-and-butter audience of men ages 18 to 34. It had toyed with a number of images recently, including Free FM and 94 YSP Talks.
The station seemed committed to a talk format as recently as June, when it let go longtime programmer Gil Edwards. Station sources said Edwards had lobbied for a return to rock but was rebuffed by management.

The rest of YSP sucked moose cock. Thank God that horrid Barsky show is gone, and the unlistenable Matt and Huggy (though I'm sure they'll STILL stay at YSP as it seems they survive every format change) and Scotty and Alex was the most pathetic attempt at a radio show I ever heard.
Now if only Kidd Chris got the boot.

Syndicate him into New York City or from New York City? They tried syndication with him already into Pittsburgh and he failed miserably.

I think they'll syndicate from Philly to NYC. If it's successful he'll move to NYC next fall with a new contract and start syndicating from there. I believe that Pittsburgh was more political fuckery than failure. I think management in Pittsburgh screwed him over to help out the local friends they hired.

these other shows have no power they have to just take it in the ass
no wonder there is no chemistry.
Although I think O&A would not allow this to happen.
theese other hosts just do shows with who ever is in the studio
Barskey has his hole kim douglas fired, and kidd chriss has his producer fired.
secondly, anyone named "monkey boy" should be fired
barksey was growing on me, he was doing an O&A style hang, it was much better than kidd chriss, who sucks.
wonder if they will let barksey sign off today after o&a?

What an awful format change. WYSP wants to play the same focking songs as WMMR. What WYSP had was a unique format in this market. If I want to listen to music, I can flip to the new modern rock station. There are numerous reasons why WMMR is not on my presets, one being the music they play is God awful. Now, there is no reason to listen to WYSP other than O&A and Kidd Chris.
If they make Chris play songs in and out of breaks, that will be a horrible decision too. Firing all his producers is insane. How the hell do you put together a show now? Since the "big" announcement at 5:00, the've played a bunch of songs in a row. Looks like Kidd Chris isn't coming back tonight. I've long since turned my radio off. Brutal. Simply brutal.
WYSP should drown in a puddle of AIDS.

Barsky's show and Matt & Huggy weren't great, but it was original programming that had some decent moments. More importantly, it kept my work day moving along. Now, it's going to be music. How many times can you listen to the same CDs? Or flip to a radio station replaying the same songs every couple of hours.

If they went to music, they should have flipped to modern rock, and months ago. Now, with 104.5 flipping formats a few months ago, that station has the modern rock audience all to themselves. And WYSP is simply trying to erode WMMR's audience. Why not try a mix of album oriented and cutting edge modern rock to get a toehold on both audiences.
The decision makers are making one blunder after another. Other than O&A and Kidd Chris, the station is dead to me. I'll be going to the modern rock station any other time.

Here is my 2 cents on this:
YSP has been a struggling station for quite some time. I really don't understand how Preston & Steve get their numbers. When I lived in Philly, I listened ONLY to YSP. It was great to be able to here O&A again, and Kidd Chris was okay, better than nothing in the afternoon.
I totally agree with Ron & Fez getting afternoon drive at KROCK, and then syndicate them to Philly and elsewhere. Numbers would take a while in Philly, but, they would get there.
The syndication of KC did fail miserably, and the callers from Pittsburgh were horrible! (no offense to any Pburg people here).
I hope they find some success, but, I don't think going back to rock is going to help YSP. :(

Dude, you never heard Kidd Chris before?
The show is Chris as a wannabe Howard. Compalining about his job, taking calls from his wife, talking about being therapy, talking about how he never goes out. Just like Howie in the 1990s.
Then there's Thomas, a big fat minority suck up. Remind you of anyone?
A producer named Monkey Boy...well up until yesterday at least.

Most of the laughing on this show is Chris and his crew laughing at themselves. His show is a trainwreck and not funny. Chris is so friggin ADD that he can't keep a straight line in a segment for more than 5 minutes. It's tangent after tangent after tangent until you are so far lost that you are begging for a commercial break. YSP should have dumped his ass as well so he can go to Sirius now with Hoo Hoo instead of when his contract is up in August.

However, this is bad news for the boys in Philadelphia. WYSP had built up a rabid, but still too small audience but still growing listership for a station that cultivated the all-day listener. And many people listened from 6AM to 7PM and beyond. Now, that is all over, and WYSP is going after the casual listener, the people who flip stations all day long. And O&A is a show that has a rabid animal fan base, not casual listeners. So while the station's ratings plummet as all the current listeners abandon ship and are general in a furious mood, some of O&A listeners will disappear too, many out of spite. I will only be listening for 3 hours a day. No more.
Less talk out of Kidd Chris = less gooder.

but i remember kidd chris saying that this was the show he signed on to do in the first place...and he seemed really excited on friday and saturday
He was talking on the air during his show a hell of a lot more when he first started in this market than now. Perhaps he didn't realized how much he was going to be muzzled for all that repetitive music.
He is now basically collecting a hefty pay check for no work. Nice job if you can get it.

I just got this message in my email
"I talked to Chris over the weekend and he said that the show will be back in full form in 90 days. The music has to be played to help inforce that 'the rock is back' on 94WYSP.
just an update,
Skid"
P.S. never ever sign up for a KC fucking website or forum, you will be on his fucking spam list forever with no way to ever be removed.

Thanks for the info. Hope that's true.

The Kidd Chris show has been neutered. Chris is given about 5 minutes to talk every hour, and plays music the rest of the time. The highest rated show on WYSP, and one of the highest rated shows in the male demo is destroyed. Other than O&A, the rest of the station is now garbage. Kudos.
Sorry...but after the shit he pulled with the show Friday I could give two fucks if his show is neutered. Fuck Kidd Chris.

Dude, you never heard Kidd Chris before?
The show is Chris as a wannabe Howard. Compalining about his job, taking calls from his wife, talking about being therapy, talking about how he never goes out. Just like Howie in the 1990s.
Then there's Thomas, a big fat minority suck up. Remind you of anyone?
A producer named Monkey Boy...well up until yesterday at least.
Song parody after song parody after song parody. Bob Levy and that Tranny mess calling in at least once a half hour each...oh and more song parodies.
For hating his show so much, you seem to know an awful lot about it.

you will find on this board that alot of people here listen to alot of different radio shows because we dont want to be the people that dont like a show because of something we heard from someone else....we definitely do our research here...i have heard Kidd Chris alot and i enjoy his wrestling talk but theres some other things on the show i dont enjoy...if O&As replay wasnt on xm i would probably listen to it...when O&A were doing there stuff on preston and steve i went back and listened to them for a while which was fucking torture

I don't have to research being assfucked to know I won't like it. But I appreciate your 'fairness' in consideration of outside materials.

Dont knock it till you try it EL OH EL.....the thing about this board is that its pretty well known and whenever something happens with Howie or some other radio show they have to run over here and give us shit and they dont go away till you give them critical facts

I've said I listened to him. I flip channels driving home from work and hear a lot of different shows on the radio. I've never once gone out of my way to listen to him and never once put him on inside my house or anywhere else besides my car.
I don't like him, I don't like his "King of Philly" attitude and I don't like that he is a Stern kissass who goes out of his way to mention Howard and his appearances on Stern's show. I think one time they were talking about how great Howard TV is...I wonder what favor/payment Stern gave Chris for that plug.

He came on the show. Stern was promoting the free preview weekend that Howard TV had.

This was a different day. All the guys on the Kidd Chris show were sitting around talking about how great Howard TV is and the one dude was saying how his father has it and can't live without it.

That is odd. I've been on the damn channel, and I've still never seen Howard TV. Cable companies in West New Jersey don't carry shit.
