New York Radio

New York radio remains a bit soft. Think about it WBLS has been cruising following WRKS, HOT 97 and Power 105 for over a year in the ratings. In comes new BLS GM Deion straight from Indiana then boom the big changes. Rick Party morning man at the time calls Deion or PD Vinny Brown "A Porch Negro" two weeks later he is gone. Paul Mooney morning show steps in and now Wendy wants out of the building.

Power 105 is going hard at Barry Mayo radio HOT 97 with Star and Buc while 98.7 Kiss FM continues to play fatigued hits on top of the ratings. Don't get the number ome market confused for number one programming minds. WRKS programmers are home grown but nice. HOT's new PD has the Urban background of Milli Vanilli. WBLS and Vinny Brown have fired 2 complete air staffs with no results maybe Vinny is next. Michael Saunders at Power has multi market experience and still programs with a open mind and a close fist.
