Beasley Broadcasting is the worst company ever

[Rocky Style]

The Fan stunk, plain and simple. They tried to big time it when it first started. Mike Pepper is a nice guy, but he totally screwed the pooch as Program Director when the Fan first started. After they alienated Tampa sports fans, they just couldn't recover. And Booger McFarland should stay far, far, far away from any more radio broadcasting.

 

I really liked the whole 1010 lineup right before the 98.7 The Fan started.  Once 98.7 started, I never got into the afternoon show with Booger & Rich although I tried many times.  I missed the old 1010 morning show but Dingman made at least made the new one fun.

how does this relate to usf and sports

 

This was our flagship sports radio station for the Bulls, and they're switching formats away from sports

[charsibb]

So. They have decided to let the people choose what new format 98.7 will get now over at http://thenew987.com and here are the choices as follows...

 

• 98.7 The Wave - Pop Hits
• 98.7 The Buzz - Alternative?
• Power 98.7 - Hip Hop Hits
• 98.7 The Cow - Classic Country
• 98.7 The Arrow - Classic Rock (similar to The Eagle)
• V98.7 - Hip-Hop and R&B
• Now 98.7 - Top 40
• 98.7 Jamz - Rhytmic
• 98.7 The Point - Indie
• Hallelujah 98.7 - Gospel
• 98.7 The Skool - Classic Hip-Hop
• Solid Gold 98.7 - Oldies
• 98.7 The Hog - Active Rock (most likely format for a Bubba The Love Sponge return)
• Easy 98.7 - Adult Contemporary/Soft Rock/Easy Listening (Similar to the Dove)

 

All the "Samples" they have for each format are so poorly put together that it's just laughable and this company should be punished for refusing to continue to carry our athletic programming on their frequencies it's just pathetic and I hope Beasley broadcasting goes bankrupt for what they did to the University (screwing them over)

 

What would be REALLY cool would be to alternate among each of those (+blues!) every 5 hours (smallest number not divisible into 24 - closest thing to random)

Your sorority house. Grow a pair.

[Skingraft]

Tampa needs a good BLUES station. People are missing some great music.

BB Kings station on Sirius is phenomenal

How is radio still relevant in today's world?????

You obviously have no clue what BIG BUSINESS radio is these days.

It's huge. (Twss)

I used to work for them, but in another business they owned. They left me alone....as when I took over is was bankrupt. It flourished, but had it not, they...especially the CFO and exceedingly bright. 

 

Mr B got his start selling Bibles door to door. Most of the kids are ok......some more OK than others.

 

They have survived in a very rough economy over the least several years.They should have bought the company back from the shareholders a couple of years  ago....Mr B likes being a public company, but it is a very small guppy in a large pond. Just my opinion.

The flagship FM station. 1010AM still a flagship for sports .... for the time being. What makes it even worse is all those options suck.

^{Does anyone think that they are really going to let the public decide what they are going to play?  its already been set and talent hired.  They go live in 5 days. This is just a way to stunt and get more publicity.}
