@Moes_HQ lol, this was their response. Haven’t been back since they changed it & since they obviously don’t care, neither do I.

[Brian Hicks @BRH1016]

@wvlt Wish we could get someone to bring a Quizno’s franchise back.

[Brian Hicks @BRH1016]

@Reds Was wondering if you know why Spectrum isn’t carrying RedsTV in East Tennessee (Knoxville area)? We are in Reds home territory & they carried them last year via FanDuelSE. We’re getting Braves tv, but no Reds & we are in both team’s home territories.

[Brian Hicks @BRH1016]

@Ask_Spectrum I would really appreciate that if you could. Thank you very much.

[Brian Hicks @BRH1016]

@Ask_Spectrum Do you know why Spectrum is listed on the Reds & MLB sites as carrying the channel in the team’s home coverage area? (which Tennessee is in). They carry it in some areas of home territory but not all as the MLB had said they would.

[Brian Hicks @BRH1016]

@Ask_Spectrum @CurtisHerd I’m upset with Spectrun over their failure to provide the Reds channel in East Tennessee. I spoke with a representative & was told we should get it but that channel wasn’t active in our area & to contact MLB? MLB & The Reds say Spectrum was supposed to carry it in our area.

@radioinsight Meh, after streaming a bit. This station is nowhere near as good as Z93. No retro imaging & jingles:(. That’s what I was listening for. Quite boring presentation wise

[Brian Hicks @BRH1016]

@radioinsight Im glad Connoisseur is going to spread this format. I love what they’re doing on Z93. I prefer classic hits formats with the elements of the time period they are from & glad someone is finally doing that. I’d love to see this rolled out in their other markets.

[Brian Hicks @BRH1016]

@radioinsight @RossOnRadio I tend to be a fan of Hits 1 on SXM, because it comes closest to this. I’d personally rather hear more midchart currents than 20 year old gold throwbacks. Let other formats do that. I’d also like to see CHR play more indie streaming tyoe hits even if they aren’t “tempo friendly”

[Brian Hicks @BRH1016]

@radioinsight @RossOnRadio I just really wish someone would launch a current intensive- 18-34 targeted CHR format once again (the way it used to be). I’m older myself, but still a CHR fan & I want to hear current pop, not 15-20 year old throwbacks & a format targeting 40 year olds with gold titles.

[Brian Hicks @BRH1016]

@JohnnysHouse Just wanted to say condolences on Doc. I grew up listening to him in the mid 80s when he did night’s as “Shotgun Stevens” on WOKI Hits 100 in Knoxville TN. One of the best evening jocks I ever heard. Really sorry. He was an amazing talent.

[Brian Hicks @BRH1016]

@radioinsight Hate to hear that. I loved listening to him back when I was in high school & he did nights at WOKI Hits 100 Knoxville TN as Shotgun Stevens in the mid 80s.

[Brian Hicks @BRH1016]

@radioinsight :(. I enjoyed this channel. I hope after the holidays, SiriusXM will launch a similar secondary CHR channel focused on breaking/trending music.

[Brian Hicks @BRH1016]

@wbir Ridiculous. This kind of deregulation is exactly what’s wrong now. Wish we had the regulation of countries like the UK & Canada. It results in a much better product for the viewer/listener.

[Brian Hicks @BRH1016]

@radioinsight This is deregulation taken to the ridiculous level. No way should one company be allowed to own 3 big network affiliates in one market. I wish we had the rules and regulations of countries like the UK & Canada. Much better product as a result.

[Brian Hicks @BRH1016]

@SiriusXMHits1 ugh, what’s up with this awful channel takeover today? So u remove the only hits station for a specialty channel? Instant tune out for me & back to FM this morn. Put this junk on another channel.

[Brian Hicks @BRH1016]

@SIRIUSXM Loving the Freestyle Radio channel being on Studio 54 this weekend! I really wish SXM would put Freestyle Radio and State of Armin on a regular satellite channel avail in cars. Those are the two best dance/edm channels. I’d love to see them in those 300 ch range.

[Brian Hicks @BRH1016]

@radioinsight @RossOnRadio I prefer the throwbacks as its own separate format vs a CHR format that ends up being mostly gold. A lot of IHeart’s CHRs are frustrating w/ all the throwbacks. I do enjoy our local rimshot 90s/2k throwback stn here in Knoxville tho. https://t.co/uitqKViImE

@MaxVelocityWX the flooding & closed interstate in TN is in East TN in the mountains at the TN/NC border.
About 60 miles east of Knoxville.

[WATE 6 On Your Side @6News]

Flooding and possible rockslide closes I-40 near Tennessee-North Carolina state line https://t.co/nWbc2YHVe1

[Brian Hicks @BRH1016]

@radioinsight Hey, I’d take this format over yet another K Love affiliate any day:)
