Steve West no longer on 91X

 Rawk Radio   

Rumors swirled all day that Steve West was the latest victim of budget cuts at 91X - Radio and Records finally confirms:

Finest City Broadcasting experienced another wave of budget-related slices: Following PD Phil Manning’s departure from alternative XTRA (91X)/San Diego last week, 91X longtime fixture/midday jock Steve West and promo coordinator Morgan McGuire also exit.

For all of us who grew up listening to Steve West, it’s really hard to believe he won’t be on 91X any longer. He was the last tie to the “glory years” of 91X and will be missed.

roger:

That last sentence is the kicker. Let’s see more of that!

Christy:

ugh, I agree about Pandora. Major suck. Sometimes I’ll listen to Last FM if I’m in the mood for a certain style or genre. They do an okay job, though not super awesome.

roger:

How did that translate into the rest of the day?

Cristy Westfall:

Dear Chick Rawker,
Thank you for taking our survey.  The purpose of these surveys are two-fold.....to find out what ALL listeners think about the music we play, along with songs that we think listeners might be interested in hearing on our station.  The songs on the list below are not necessarily in rotation on our radio station.  We have a lot of fun here and sometimes we have specialty weekends and features that songs on this list might or might not fit into.  I hope that you continue to take our surveys and give us your opinion because it helps us program our station to give listeners what they want.

Yes alternative music crosses over to the pop world, it always has and always will.  I think it’s great when an artist or group reaches this level.  They release there music and are labeled “Alternative” and then they become “Popular” and the masses want to hear them.  If managed correctly this will allow them to create and be more artistic with their music in the future.  For example NIN....yes “Closer” is a “Popular” song, but without it, would Trent Reznor have been able to create and work on the many projects he has that appeal to a “Music Connoisseur” like yourself?  We don’t know for sure but we can guess the answer is “Yes.”

There is a purpose and place for POP Music.  I hope that from now on you take this into consideration when you listen to and judge the formats that this type of music is featured on.

Thank you,
Cristy Westfall

@karmiclife:

These are the same things I have been thinking about for awhile now, starting when Chris left. Radio is still relevant and will be for a while. The other competition aside from online is satalitte radio. Many people listen through Sirius and XFM. It is all splintered. Partnerships, collaboration, engaging with fans are the way to go and survive. Hard core music fans like most of our crowd may end up left to scrounge for the good stuff. But really, is that so new?

hilary:

so sweet, lyn.

roger:

Word. I’d have to use different examples, but would say everything else exactly the same.
