12/19: Five predictions for Atlanta radio 2006
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I have been known to be a horrible prognosticator but since all AJC bloggers are offering predictions in their respective blogs, I’m joining the rabble. I do promise to come back in December, 2006 and see how well I did.
1) Jamz 97.1 will change format. Or finally add jocks. Or at least stop slamming V-103 every hour. (Who said I had to be Jeanne Dixon-level definitive?)
2) 96rock’s The Regular Guys will say something that will cause some sort of ridiculous, pumped-up controversy. But they’ll keep their jobs this time around.
3) 99X, struggling in the ratings and soon to be under new ownership, will see some major changes behind the scenes and possibly on the air.
4) WSB-AM, which now only have the Dawgs for sports, will try to get the Falcons from Dave FM. But are they willing to pay the price? (They’ve made huge profits by dropping the Braves.)
5) At least one major morning show will be blown up, one that nobody will necessarilly expect. That’s such a vague prediction, I might actually get that one right! :)
Bonus prediction: Porsche Foxx will find a new job in Atlanta. Will Hot 107.9 or Classic Soul find a spot for her?
