D&D first week

Here are my impressions of the first week of the D&D show, as a long time fan (since the very first day) I will have to say that I think the show is doing great for the first week at a new company, new management, not being on for a year. There have been a lot of complaints I have seen on message boards about the new format. I.E. the music at 9am, all the interviews. Here is what I have to say about that. What us regular listeners have to understand, and this is even hard for me, is that they have a whole new audience they have to catch, this isn't just us long time fans listening here. I have restrained myself a couple of times from wanting to call in on topics. The new listeners have no idea who I am, or Pat, or Jay. I would rather give it time for the new listeners to adjust to the show than to make them feel that if you weren't an old listener, then you aren't welcome. Trust me I will be calling in at somepoint, but let them settle in to the new home. I just wanted to say great job guys, and glad you are back on the air.

***On a side note, if you click to the right where it says Deminski and Doyle fan podcast you can listen to any of the shows you have missed, and download them.

Thanks to Mediocre Films, Jeff Deminski, Wingasauras

Well after that last action packed show. Where we talked with Josh "Ponceman" Perry, Greg with Mediocre films, and Josh's brother Scott. I wanted to thank them for staying on longer than they planned. I could have talked to them for hours. I really was starstruck, and that's not a lie. Even though Greg logged in and asked his own questions to himself (which by the way was funny to me) I hope to have them on again. I also want to thank Jeff Deminski for calling in FINALLY to the S&M show, as we will welcome the D&D show back on the airwaves in the Motor City on 94.7 WCSX January 5th, 2009 at 6am. And don't forget that D&D will be hosting a New Years Eve party at Snookers pool & pub on Hall rd in Utica. Doors open at 7pm, and admission is FREE. 21 and older. For more information visit Jeff's Blog here I also want to thank a fellow Superfan of the D&D show Wingasauras for calling in. It was great to get caught up with him, and hear his voice. Hope to hear you on the air with D&D in the new year. Make sure to listen to the last show, as it is probably playing as you are reading this now. You also get to hear mini-me sing Hangin Tough from The New Kids On The Block.

Have D&D found a new home?

Well on tuesday, WCSX let JJ & Lynne go. So what does that mean for us Deminski and Doyle fans???? It has been widely reported that JJ thought that was the reason they were let go. To move in D&D. Even though Greater Media is denying it, we all know what is going on. The big question is if Mike in the Morning currently on WRIF will be moved to WCSX and then having D&D on the WRIF. I have never had 94.7 on my presets, but if they announce this, it will be my #1 preset. I have listened to Sirius radio for most of the time they have been off the air. With an occasional listen to Mike. The one thing I know for certain is. DEMINSKI AND DOYLE WILL BE BACK IN JANUARY OF '09!! I don't really care what station they are on. Hell if it was Hip Hop & R&B I would still listen. (maybe they could bring back milky white toast) But I wanna hear from all of you, are you ready for D&D and does it matter what station they go to?

Will Deminski and Doyle return to Detroit radio????

Reading this article is giving me mixed messages, because during the whole BS that happened with 97.1 Mike Novak was always the one that was speaking the truth. Turning a staple radio station like WCSX into a talker just doesn't make sense to me. In a selfish way I hope this article would be true!!! I think it would be succesful with Drew Lane mornings, and D&D afternoons, or Vice versa. But this is the article from the Detroit Free Press March 11th.

D&D, Greater Media talk -- about what?

This much we know: A representative for Jeff Deminski and Bill Doyle -- formerly of 97.1 FM -- has spoken with radio chain Greater Media about job opportunities.



But was it about replacing morning duo Jim Johnson and Lynne Woodison at Greater Media-owned WCSX-FM (94.7)? Or was it about taking a job at one of Greater Media's East Coast properties?



Depends on who you talk to.



D&D's attorney, Mike Novak, said he discussed WCSX and D&D with Greater Media. But Detroit Greater Media boss Tom Bender counters: "The conversations with D&D on behalf of Greater Media that I am aware of concerned one of our other stations in another market. I am still in charge of Detroit and have spoken to neither Novak nor D&D about WCSX."



If you love a conspiracy theory, chew on this: Woodison's and Johnson's pacts expire in March. D&D can't work in Detroit until January because of a non-compete clause. WCSX's classic rock format has been hurt by several other stations that nibble on the core music 'CSX plays. Might a format switch to talk -- no more expensive royalty payments to BMI and ASCAP! -- in a move that could include adding current WRIF-FM (101.1) talk absentee Drew Lane, be in the works for the new year? Then again, WCSX is one of Detroit's more stable performers over the last 20 years -- and why risk losing that in today's fickle radio world?
