DUFFY IS ANOTHER VICTIM OF NEWS CUTS<\/strong> After nearly three decades with CBS Radio Pittsburgh, PA, Shelley Duffy exits CBS Radio News\/Talk KDKA-1020. Since April 2015 Duffy co-hosts the Afternoon News<\/em> with Robert Mangino on News-Talk KDKA-1020. Before that, she lasts six years as co-host of The Bubba Show<\/em> on Hot AC sister WBZZ FM (100.7 Star<\/em>). Michael Young, CBS Radio Pittsburgh SVP\/Market Manager, says: KDKA-AM recently reduced our afternoon news show from two hosts to one<\/em>.<\/p>\n

ESPN RATINGS STRIKE OUT<\/strong> Remember when ESPN is the premiere sports-only network on television? ESPN gradually shifts to what many believe to be a left-leaning political commentary. NFL player protests during the National Anthem have an epic impact on ESPN\u2019s ratings, too. Nielsen reports ESPN November 2016 subscriber numbers are the worst in the history of ESPN\u2019s existence with a loss of 621,000 cable subscribers. ESPN Ombudsman Jim Brady, admits: the network slips way too far to the left in recent years<\/em>.<\/p>\n

BEE GEES SIGN NEW RECORD DEAL<\/strong> During the 1960s we enjoy The Bee Gees wonderful tunes: To Love Somebody<\/em> and I Started a Joke<\/em>. In the 1970s the Bee Gees become even more popular when they go Disco with their massive-selling Saturday Night Fever<\/em> soundtrack. The Bee Gees, one of the most successful and popular Rock bands in the history of popular music, sign a long-term worldwide agreement with Capitol Records for their entire catalogue of recorded music.<\/p>\n

TRIVIA QUESTION:<\/strong> Which Wings tune does the BBC ban? The answer appears below.<\/p>\n

JAY WALKER [CBS Radio Dallas\/KJKK FM\/Infinity KTSA-550\/KTFM FM\/Own Jay Walker Prod\/40 Plus Years In Radio] (Ft. Worth-Hurst)<\/strong> Subject: Stars in their eyes\u2026 Jim You know how many times AC has been introduced to Dallas? There\u2019s only one station that ever pulled numbers with the format, Ron Chapman\u2019s KVIL and they were dominate. Since the KVIL glory days, there\u2019s been at least one incarnation of \u201cStar\u201d back when Westinghouse owned 105.3 dabbled in AC, then there when they killed KZEW as KLRX they gave it a try and recently the MASTER of AC radio Ron Champman even launched the format for Clueless, err. Cumulus on 96.7. Now if Ron didn\u2019t get the required results, how in the H**** does the clown show that is iHeart think they can make this worn out format fly? Heck iHeart tried the format for years on their own Magic 102.9 in Dallas. A Forest Gump quote seems appropriate about now\u2026 Take care and stay warm, Jay<\/em><\/p>\n

DUCKIE MASSEY [ex KIKK FM\/KIKK-650, KITE-930, KXOL-1360, KBUC, KSMG FM, KONO-860] (San Antonio, TX)<\/strong> Subject: Today\u2019s Radio. They took the personality out of radio. Everything is mostly automated were it does not sound like your radio any more. The subtle or not so subtle name dropping of local people in the neibourhood. Little surprises on the air and audience participation that was the key to a good fun shift. One of my favorite radio stations in San Antonio, TX is live morning and afternoon drive and some of the weekend. The rest of the time it is automated and dull. There is no pep or excitement anymore. It\u2019s so sad to hear such a waist. Anyway, that\u2019s my two pence worth. Duckie, Director of Sports Sales Baywood Hotels<\/em><\/p>\n

TRIVIA ANSWER:<\/strong> On December 1, 1972 Wings release Hi, Hi, Hi<\/em>. The BBC bans it for its suggestive lyrics because the title phrase We\u2019re gonna get hi, hi, hi<\/em> is a drug reference.
\nBRAD WILSON [Power Blues Guitar] (Hollywood, CA)<\/strong> Happy Birthday Jim!!<\/em>
\nKENNETH M JOHNSON [ex News Director WTID and WSKX] (Virginia Beach, VA)<\/strong> Happy Birthday Jim!<\/em>
\nGARY RICHARDS [KCSN FM 88.5] (Los Angeles-Chatsworth, CA)<\/strong> Happy birthday!<\/em>
\nJEANELLE KEY [Metro Traffic & Shadow Traffic, KTRH-740, KLOL FM, KTEK-1110, KHMX FM, KRBE FM, KBXX FM, KTJM FM] (West Columbia, TX)<\/strong> Happy Birthday Jim!<\/em><\/p>\n
