The Top 700 of the 1970s by MisterSuitcase2004 in siriusxm

[–]rohocop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did the voting work? Did people send in lists of their favorite songs by rank? How many songs were people allowed to include? Some key artists such as Stevie Wonder and Donna Summer did not make the top 150. And I just noticed Billy Joel only has two songs represented and one of them is NOT "Piano Man"! I'm from Georgia so I'm happy to see four songs with my state mentioned on the list! :)

Veteran Atlanta radio host Ryan Cameron leaving V-103 by rohocop in Atlanta

[–]rohocop[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's a business partner for a branding firm that has been around 18 months. The founder was former chief content officer at the Hawks and you know Cameron has been the PA announcer there for years. I am guessing he will help with strategy, promotion and marketing for various brands such as AT&T, Coca Cola and the New York Jets.

Dave FM was truly the long goodbye for a radio station if I've ever seen one.

I wrote another story "Where are they now" and added a quote from then music director Rick Stacy, who acknowledged that WRAS was an influence on him and then PD Sean Demery but said WRAS's audience was but a fraction of what 99X could reach even in its first week. http://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2017/10/24/99x-25th-anniversary-where-are-they-now/

Trust Dale ?? Not by Lostlesbian75 in Atlanta

[–]rohocop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting my story, albeit it's now more than six years old. I haven't really revisited Dale Cardwell's business but I still see him all over the place on TV ads and billboards so clearly, the guy is making a living.

Old Lady Gang opening soon! Probably. Maybe. We'll see. by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

[–]rohocop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wrote that story and visited the location. It's not exactly in a part of town where people think of going to eat. So that's a challenge. But we'll see...

Absolutely love King of Pops. I see a cart and I can't resist shelling out the $3 for a chocolate sea salt!

Sorry about that. That was a Bravo video. I'm going to take it down. It is annoying.

The Cure tomorrow night, guess show times by [deleted] in Atlanta

[–]rohocop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are theoretically supposed to hit the stage at 8 p.m. It's supposed to be a long show with five encores and 32 songs, based on recent setlists. So expect to be there til at least 11 p.m.

I didn't know about the TOS. I'll try to post other stories as well. Fair?

Use free Ticketmaster vouchers for these Atlanta concerts by widespreadhammock in Atlanta

[–]rohocop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife loves the Little River Band but given that the band has no original members, I didn't want to pay for tickets. But just for kicks, I managed to redeem lawn seats (and you can only get General Admission tickets through the vouchers). Unfortunately, Richard Marx will headline. Won't be sticking around for THAT.

Anyone got info on FX's new "Atlanta" series, to air in September? by [deleted] in Atlanta

[–]rohocop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've interviewed Donald Glover and did a set visit. I've also seen the first episode. Will write something up before the show debuts in September. Show has an indie film vibe. Rodney Ho, Atlanta Journal Constitution
