Re: Press Herald attacks WCLZ format change

[Dib9@aol.com]

This article is very similar to the Casco Bay Weekly article that came out on 
Thursday.  Pahagian and Ivy are still trying to sell the same b.s. that Saga 
and Citadel are actually offering Portland listeners more choices.  Kevin 
Keogh, on his way out of the business when the Downeast Radio Group is sold 
to WMTW, gave the best analysis.  He was honest in saying "Broadcasters 
aren't in the business to lose money.  They need to do something that makes 
money, so they try to do something that has mass appeal."  Why couldn't 
Pahagian and Ivy be as honest?  Keogh also explained how Citadel is trying a 
a "flanking attack" by using WPTN to cut into WMGX's older listeners and WJBQ 
to cut into WMGX's younger audience.

The story also mentioned that J.J. Jeffrey has picked up the WCLZ call 
letters for the former WXGL at 95.5 Topsham.
