107.7 the End Hires New Program Director

Posted by on June 6 at 13:56 PM

Phil Manning, long time Program Director at 107.7 the End, resigned about a week and a half ago, and the station has already hired a new guy. His name is Lazlo, and he comes to Seattle from Kansas City where he was the Program Director for 96.5 the Buzz.

First glance at the Kansas City station’s website sorta made me wanna puke—their big Summer concert, Beach Ball 2, features 311, Dashboard Confessional, Yellowcard, Hawthorne Heights, and Pepper. Ugh. But their playlist does boast a little more meat, with bands like the Dresden Dolls, Damone, and Band of Horses. The station also has local and alternative/underground hiphop shows, as well as a live DJ spinning on air every Saturday night.

So, it’s hard to say what will happen when Lazlo arrives at KNDD. The new boss could mean big changes. Harms, evening DJ at 107.7 invites everyone to take the opportunity to let the new guy know how you feel. He set up an e-mail address that only Lazlo will have access to. So if you have an opinion about what you like or dislike about the station, if you wanna see something change or if you wanna see something stay the same, e-mail newguy@1077theend.com and let your voice be heard.

Do you really expect much from commercial rock radio? Expect this: more commercials and more "alternative" mainstream bands.

alternative? what the heck is that? look, I hear more alternative music on RainyDawg or KNHC any day of the week.

"Alternative" is what new wave was to punk. A clever catch phrase that means very little to the true music fans, but makes ad execs get big boners.

I would like to see The End move to an all-classical format, please.

what's an ad exec? is that some 20th century concept? nowadays, it's all viral.

good one on the classical ...

Terrestrial radio all sucks anymore. For music without commercials and an interesting selection of music, satellite radio is where it's at.

I would like satellite radio to move to an all-classical format, please.

I would like The End to go all Techno all the time, please.

Except after midnight, when it can play other forms of Electronica.

oh, and I'd like podcasts of Tim Eyman screaming in agony to a techno beat.

thanx.

You could waste your time emailing "newguy@blabbedyblobbedy.bloo" or you could just listen to KEXP.

KEXP? They took PA's money and now all they care about is New York and putting pictures of their DJ's holding kids (how wonderful!) on their lame blog.
At least The End is honest about what it is.
