Description
"By way of illustration, I recently went through some old airchecks of a couple of the morning team shows I was fortunate enough to be part of in my career. One of them (1988-1990) was me and a guy named Rick Robertson, who was "The Beamer" on our team "Tommy & the Beamer" for what was then-Magic 102.9 (KMGC) here in Dallas.
The station had some ... shall we say ... 'challenges' in that it tried to combine what it referred to then as "Light Jazz" with "Light Rock" - two music genres that were basically totally incompatible since each one of them skewed to a different gender and mindset. The result was that each song we played chased off 50% of the listeners, which made for some tough sledding."
