He's fallen 5th to 8th Persons 12 plus. In radio 12 plus means nothing. It's a cosmetic number. Wilson's numbers in the key demo of P25-54 are actually stable. He's up a bit from Summer. He's still down from Denny Schaeffer this time last year. But overall Wilson's numbers are not as bad as many think. Regarding Wilson’s “freefall”… that’s not quite accurate.

WSPD’s newscasts are separate and distinct from the station’s talk programming." Really? In most radio stations the News Director reports to the Program Director. Interesting to note that the WSPD News Director is married to the Program Director. Conflict of interest? In most companies that would not be allowed. It's my understanding that to get around the issue the News Director reports to Market Manager Andy Stuart instead of hubby Brian Wilson. There's a new talk station in town.... WTOD AM 1560, once a simulcast of K100, is now "SUPERTALK 1560" Now beginning it's 3rd year as a talk station. Lineup: 6-8am - Doug Stephen (a Tiffin graduate) 8-9am - Tom Watkins (formerly of WSPD) 9-12n - Laura Ingraham 12n-3p - Neal Boortz (related to Brian Wilson?) 3p-6p - Dave Ramsey. A nice alternative to WSPD's PM drive 6-9p - Michael Savage (starts March 1st) Sat and Sun programming goes toe to toe with WSPD as well. In fact, ratings wise their about even. WTOD is presently at low power - 500 watts - against WSPD's 5,000. Doesn't say much about WSPD's Sat programming. Sunday 830-12n - Polka Party. Celebrates 60 years in April 12-2p - Sounds of Sinatra 2-4p - American Standards 4-6p - Small Business Advocate 6p-9p - Best of Boortz 9p-10p - Laura Ingraham Rewound For a talk alternative, check out Supertalk 1560 WTOD. “WSPD’s Talk Shows are under the program director’s direction.

This would make for a convenient record of the details and events for a jury to follow (as I believe one eventually will). Resolving of the issues at hand is easily done, if the STRONG personalities can be suitably subdued. Getting each sides legal eagles involved and n charge would be a wise thing from here on out, they have the temperament and wisdom to not make things any worse (although the City may need to hire some outside counsel not beholding to the mayor). IMO, both sides should take a deep breath, exhale solely and choose their words very carefully. This can go away if everybody eats their share of crow, publicly apologizes for their past behavior, kisses, and makes up. Also IMO, they’ll choose to do things the hard way… Sorry to come in late on this, but I have a few thoughts to add:

In the meantime the city still shows no meaningful progress on: Southwyck, fights at Westfield, a broke COSI, a jobless rate over the national average, the nations highest taxes in hotels, gang problems that supposidly "do not exist", needing more police and fire officials, and deficit's in the budget. Carty Gets Results seems more like Carty Gets Front Page Stories.
