Movin'100.7 Thumbs up / Thumbs Down

I'm afraid that Movin'100.7's destiny is to fail!!! Why you ask? What has Simmons done to promote it? A 30 second ad that was shown for 2 weeks? No billboards - No Bus Signs - Pretty much just word of mouth.

I think it's a great format but they are not playing some of the older stuff that other Movin FM's are playing. I really thought they would hit alot more 80's dance and some 70's disco.

Looks like we may only have 7 months left of Movin' if the numbers don't increase by the one year mark...97.5 FM Talk which I thought was a good station but was pulled after 1 year because of low #'s

I hope I'm wrong on this but I don't see much promotion for KYMV and it should have been pushed in our faces from the beginning.

Unfortunately, "The Eagle" got so much plug because Simmons instantly stopped putting any money into FM100, "The Arrow" or "Star" back in '03. That allowed them to take the promotional $ they would've used there for their new little pet.

I agree that "Movin" could use some promotion, it is certainly promoted here in Portland in top of the hour ID flashes on stations like katu 2 and there are a few logo splashes here and there.

Also, the station here is pretty varied, I do find it sort of hard to listen to - but that is because I'm not a huge fan of current urban/hurban crossover into top 40, which of course is tossed in. They also have some of their own imaging liners now, they seem to be moving a little from the standard "Taesha" and "Brad" liners and are even using a different voice. (107.5)

Also, several of my friends here have latched onto it and seem to really like it. I think they stumbled onto something here, but I really wish it had DJ's. I think we can all see that "Jack" hasn't saved radio as its ratings fall in markets nationwide.

I like the 100.7 but just a little too much Justin Timberlake and Beyonce' and I too also wish they played just a little more oldies dance stuff like Party 93.1 in Vegas heres a list of 10 songs from them, Hey I say Clear Channel drops The River and does 105.7 The Party like Denver or Vegas
