All radio stations in the United States are affected by Arbitron ratings. The Arbitron company changed their radio rating system about a year ago. This new rating system has had a very negative impact on many talk shows and morning shows on music stations nationwide. Unfortunately, under this new system, the ratings for The Mike and Bob Show on 96X were much lower than the ratings during our music hours, and that is the only reason that I felt I had to make a change. Prior to the change in the rating measurement system, the Mike and Bob Show was very successful and popular. Under the new ratings system, this was no longer the case. This was personally one of the most difficult business decisions I have ever had to make. Mike, Bob, and Nick are great guys and have been the anchors of 96x for years and years. I have done everything I could to make this transition less painful for them. Mike has been offered a full time position at one of our other stations here in Norfolk at the same pay. Nick will continue to do mornings on 96X. Bob was given nine months severance pay. Yes, we have made some changes in our music. 96X is playing all the biggest alternative songs and artists and will continue to do so. 75% of the music is exclusive to 96X from Muse, The Black Keys, Paramore, MGMT, Silversun Pickups , with new songs from Mumford and Sons, Neon Trees, Death Cab For Cutie, Rise Against, Cage The Elephant and more. We have added other styles of popular music into the mix to give the station a bigger appeal. We stay committed to breaking Alternative music and bring Hampton roads the best variety of music. Thank you for listening to 96X and for your comments.

We just received a bunch of Playstation 3's and a video games in the mail, so we figured we would throw them your way. Listen all this week and next for your chance to win a copy of either Madden 10 or Guitar Hero Metallica. If you get the game, you are qualified for and brand new, shiny Playstation 3. With the holidays right around the corner we wanted to use the power of radio to help out those in our community who are in need. Throughout the next few weeks a bunch of the on air crew will be out and about on the Very Merry Tour. Basically we will be at different location across Hampton Roads collecting toys, and non perishable food items for the Salvation Army and Toys For Tots. Plus we have a list of locations who will be collecting even while we aren't out. To see where will be, and to also get a list of drop of locations you can find all of that at 96X.fm That is all for now, as always we want to send a very big thanks out to every single one of you for all of them support. Have a great weekend! -James Steele JamesSteele@96X.fm 2009-11-23T19:02:09+00:00 http://www.96x.fm/shows/96xdjs_entry/whats_happenin_11_5_09/ http://www.96x.fm/shows/96xdjs_entry/whats_happenin_11_5_09/#When:23:57:36Z What’s up everyone it’s James Steele and man oh man do we have a big week...What’s up everyone it’s James Steele and man oh man do we have a big week of concert winning for you.

I didn't really think I was going to get nervous and star struck, but for some reason having Lil Jon right there made me extremely nervous. It was probably the fact that he is probably one of the top MC's in the world, and it's freaking LIL JON... haha. Either way, after putting my crazy over thinking aside he was a really friendly great dude, and thanks to everyone who came out and made this ECSC successful. 2009-08-31T18:55:37+00:00 http://www.96x.fm/shows/96xdjs_entry/james_production01/ http://www.96x.fm/shows/96xdjs_entry/james_production01/#When:22:52:32Z Compilation of 96X ProductionIt seems like twice a year I put together a compilation of the different production pieces I make for 96X, either to hopefully win a award or get critiqued by the people I consider production gods. I figured since we are encouraged to come up here and submit new content to the website, that I would put new 96X production pieces that I do up on a blog every once in a while. Here is a bunch of pieces from the past few months or so.

First you hear "a week is way to long, three days is all you really need", also heard "It's so hot out there you can barely breath." I hopped on the plane and was off on my first long vacation in ages. I had a total of about six or seven hours in the air which is never a comfortable feeling. I think most people, even if they fly a lot, still have a small part of their mind telling them that you could fall out of the sky. Luckily, my crazy head kept itself in check and next thing I knew we were in Vegas. Let me first just say if you have never been before, all you really do as soon as you land for about the next 76 hours is just look around in awe and amazement. Everything is bigger in Vegas. We got our bags (GET MY BAGS!), got the cab, and headed to the Mirage right on the middle of the strip. Only took about ten minutes to check in, and headed up to our room. I had never seen a basic hotel room like this before. The furniture was up to date and modern, we had about a 180 degree view of the Vegas strip, plus the comfy bed and 50" LCD screen didn't hurt. I would recommend the Mirage to anyone who wants to escape for a few days, and doesn't want to drop a load of money on a hotel. Thanks to Chaps suggestion, we went out to the Stratosphere Restaurant (resembles the Seattle Space Needle), and spins in a complete circle every eighty minutes. Wine, Steak, and an incredible view of the entire Las Vegas Valley is definitely one of those once in a lifetime experiences. On top of the massive Stratosphere they have a couple different rides. Both of which I decided not to go on. I'll ride the griffin all day long, but these things freaked me out. One of them drops you facing straight down and holds you over a hundred stories in the air. I'm almost certain that the bottle of wine I drank was talking to me and telling my future of getting sick on other tourists. Another site to see out there isn't just Vegas. The Hoover Dam is about an hour away. There are many different tours you can take, ranging from forty dollars per person, to a $400 helicopter ride. Because I am in radio, I opted for the $40 small bus ride out to the Dam, which turned out to be all you really need. You get on a bus that arrives at your hotel with ten other people. A tour guide tells you the history of Vegas and the entire area. As you near the dam he stops off at the town which was built back in the late 1920's just for the workers. Then you are essentially set free for two hours to explore the dam, and they throw in tickets for the tour deep down in the mountain. Seeing this massive piece of man made concrete holding back the massive man made Lake Mead is a humbling experience. Back in the 1930's they built this wonder of the world in around five years. FIVE YEARS! Now a days, we can barely get a five mile stretch of highway done in that time. If you do decide to go out to Vegas for the first time DO IT, there are great deals all over the place. I highly recommend the Mirage, and Sweet Tours to go see the Hoover Dam. Then just walk and explore...until you figure out that the hotels and casinos only look that close because they are the size of a small planet. Well I need to get back to work, thanks for checking out the blog and the new website. Enjoy your week! I put some pictures from the vacation, check them out below: P.S- It’s really hot in the desert -James Steele Facebook Twitter 2009-08-26T20:42:18+00:00 http://www.96x.fm/shows/96xdjs_entry/james_steele_first_post/ http://www.96x.fm/shows/96xdjs_entry/james_steele_first_post/#When:01:34:51Z So first off welcome to this brand spankin’ new website of ours. I want to thank Greg, and DT for all of their work getting this thing up. We’re all pretty excited because we will be able to keep everyone up to date with pictures, videos, blogs, and a bunch of other cool stuff without waiting for a webmaster to do it for us. Even Slightly will be able to update the site without screwing things up…I hope.So first off welcome to this brand spankin’ new website of ours.

Even Slightly will be able to update the site without screwing things up…I hope. I’ve been trying to figure out where to go for vacation. I need a solid 7 days off, and I want to go somewhere far away. Not necessarily out of the country, but maybe west coast? Grand Canyon? Puerto Rico? Any suggestion? I will be taking a mini get a way to see my parents July 8th, and my brother is going to be there to which is very exciting. I probably get to see my brother and his family once a year and my parents twice. They live in Georgia in a log cabin on a mountain. They aren’t hillbillies or anything; it’s just kind of been their dream to get away from it all. The hardest part for me about getting away is I’m a work-a-holic (I can’t believe I just used that phrase) and for some reason don’t have the ability to make myself go on vacation, probably because I worry to much. I always think “Well imagine all that money you’re going to waste.” You know what ends up happening? I end up just wasting that money here in town, on food, clothes, booze. That’s all for now. Thanks for stopping by my little home on 96X.fm, make sure to check out some of the other sections like podcasts, interviews, reviews, or just close your eyes and click somewhere and see what happens.
