this was posted on Raptalk and thought it was interesting.

The truth about Wild 94.9 and 106 KMEL.


1. "Xavier The X-man" is not really in the Wild 94.9 studio. He actually lives in San Diego. Why do you think the phone's always busy when you call? It's a recorded show from the day before or the day of. Most calls are either fake, recorded from another area, or created by an intern who records your voice at 949, and then chops his and your voices together.
Here are two other stations that do the same thing with Xavier The X-man. www.magic925.com , www.koceanradio.com.
Wild 94.9 answers this allegation by saying that he does the show from San Diego, but its not true! Your telling me he's on his San Diego radio station talking about the bay area only? This show is all fake and you listeners are being lied to.

2. "Super Snake" All the same things that happen with "Xavier The X-man" happen with Super Snake. This one is a little harder for KMEL to pull off because they have to give away prizes everyday. An intern will record a callers voice, and then chop up snakes voice to make it sound real. This happens everyday! Super Snake is also on www.kzzp.com. There are other instances, but the main point is that Snake is never in the studio . Just more lies for you to hear.


3. "CON" tests... No caller 20, no caller 94, and no caller 106.. Do you ever think to yourself, why do girl's always win on 94.9? I'll tell you how to win a contest with these stations. Just sound really crazy on the phone and hey your a winner!!! Caller 20 could have really been caller 12. Do you think the really good prizes go to you the listeners? HAHAHA!! Most of the good prizes, and I don't say his happens all the time, but maybe more then half of them go to the staff. Yes sponsors, that means you get taken also. Air checks you get of winners are a lot of the time faked by sales staff and then given to you. Win a contest to meet Gwen Stefani? I'm sorry an old Wild 94.9 intern won that. Go to http://www.myspace.com/4500689 and see the pictures for yourself. This contest rip off happens everyday!! But it doesn't mean you'll never win! It just means your chances get a little lower.

4. When Wild 94.9 ratings go down why do they become we are all about the people, we want to help people in the bay area. But when ratings are high they don't feel they have to do that? It is because when they are hurting and when they need something from you, this is a way to get you to listen. They don't really care. They think you are sheep.

I can go on and on with more things about these fake radio station's and I will. Just know everything is the truth and I showed you it. All these things I said will get back to Wild 94.9, KMEL and Clear Channel. They'll say its all Lie's. They'll try to fly in The X-Men and Super Snake to give you a song and dance on how they are really in studio and come see them. They'll start having more guy winners on-air, and they'll have pictures taken down. These things have been going on for years. If you want to stand up and show them your not sheep STOP listening. Start playing CD's and start turning on your iPODs. Sponsors, stop wasting your money on stations that rip you off. The biggest thing to fight back is to say that your not going to take this is when someone asks you what stations you listen to. Say every other station except Wild 94.9 and KMEL. Take this email and get it out ot people. Tell them everything about how these stations do them and you wrong. Then you'll win the fight over them.

wow... that's some interesting stuff... the only thing i realized bout the stations are that some mixes are pre-recorded... especially throughout 94.9's mixes the past two weeks... and just for me to add... it's a greater shame when the mix is wack and pre-recorded... no offense

i was a clear channel employee here in the bay for 3yrs (kyld) and this pretty much happens everywhere else in the country....
when the jocks arent in the room and its pre recorded, thats really the majority of the time now, and jocks that are in different regions doin radio aswell is very common, its called syndications. as far as the contests and stuff it varies.....there were alot of times when the jocks would call there own personal friends or members of the street team because they would know what sounded good on air. its all smoking mirrors and theatre of the mind.
its pretty much come to this because of all the corporate conglomerates that took over and cut corners and do anything to save a few bucks. but yeah, its not just here, its radio everywhere.

tell that to some of the BAY artists... cuz whatever they sold unit wise, you can attribute half those numbers to local radio play

that's a fact...

now commercial radio sucks, tell me something I don't know... now tell me that a few folks in radio (including KPFA) don't look out for the Bay, and you're telling me something you know is false

word... in addition to local dj's and personalities, you have to credit actual listenership, independant businesses, and real ass community folks who are pressuring the big ol' corporation to play local artists.

we're noticing that more energy has to put forth more than it ever did back when kmel was "the people's station". remember those days?
