Is Willie going away?
July 18, 2022Fybush.com reported Monday that Forever has applied for the callsign WOGH for 103.5 Burgettstown where they had been before a format flip. The suspicion is the classic country “Willie” format will go away returning 103.5 to a simulcast with WOGI (104.3 Moon Township) effective August 1.
Forever and their Froggy format. I can’t believe this is still around. I also can’t believe they have an audience. I interviewed with them, back around 2000. That was when the studio/offices were, I think, in Brownsville. They were offering full-time. (Yippee). (Sarcasm alert). Well, the money was around 7 bucks an hour, I believe, not much more than minimum wage. I would have had to do that commute to Brownsville and back, every day, 6 days a week. I considered it, until they told me I’d have to use a Froggy name on the air? So, adding insult to injury? I politely declined on this lucrative, (sarcasm), offer. I can’t remember who the PD was at that time, but he was actually a really good guy, and totally understood my decision. Almost like he knew the whole thing was a joke and laughable. Forever, and their “cousin” Key Market, just never seemed to have a clue. I’ve interviewed with them, three separate times, three different markets, and it was always the same. Crap pay, must use a Froggy name. Any time the word, MUST is used on me, I walk out. Especially, when slave wages are being paid.
