Just curious, how many people took part? And were you selected or was it open to anyone who wanted to show up?

There were about 20, but I think they also might have had panels at other nights/times (mine was Wednesday).  I was selected.

Did you get any sort of "honorarium" or just the CDs and the tour? Every radio focus group I've ever taken part in never reveals who's sponsoring the study, so it's interesting that they held it at KFOG's offices.
Let's get right to it.

No honorarium, just the CDs/tour/dinner.  As far as I know here it was just D. Constantine & a few of the KFOG staffers.  (I do know that sometimes stations bring in outside companies to run these, though.)

Oh, Florence, can the "Dog days" please be over already? (Sorry, I don't get the love for that band. At. All.)

Went to the panel last night - made sure to represent 10@10!  ;D  DC was in charge & I got the impression he wasn't going to mess with it; in fact, he said he loves specialty programming & plans to return A-Z to us, among other things.  He also talked about making the 10@10 Channel (which is back on HD-2; must have just gone out for awhile) availble online.  
I loved A-Z!  Hope they bring it back this year.  I'm not getting the 10@10 HD channel on my phone for some reason.  I had it at one point, and now I'm getting the same KFOG channel in both spots.  :(
Thanks for representin', Rad!  :)

I'm all in favor of a GOOD lengthy A-Z -- not the abbreviated (less than 7 days) versions they sometimes did.

BTW, this was my first post via my new netbook -- got it just in time to take it on the upcoming NY trip.

Having the "10@10 Channel" on-line wouid be nice. I was under the impression (I could be wrong) that they pulled it down because they couldn't use Dave's shows and didn't yet have enuf AL "classics" to program it 24/7.

NP...Anything for 10@10 and Annalisa!  ;D
I hope they do too.  I agree with RGMike that a good lengthy A-Z would be awesome.  (a la 2008...otoh 2009's was pretty bad.)
Hmm, maybe the channel just sputtered out for awhile.  I tried it now and the 10@10 Channel is back on HD-2. (Regular KFOG programming on HD-1).

I was too (which I thought was why it went out for awhile), but I guess it's back.

Just as I was leaving home this morning, they did a SF twin-spin: Scott McKenzie followed by tenderloin/tender-coin.

It might've started raining frogs is KITS played Come Together by Primal Scream at 8:58 AM.  Maybe in 1991 (when the station was worth listening to).

almost forgot to mention this...a few days back Joel Selvin was on the morning show pimping some event he was doing that evening at which Webster was going to be moderator.  For some reason the conversation swung around to the group Journey, and Irish Greg brought up the point that "Dave Morey used to often refer to 'Journey when they were good'" and asked Selvin to explain.

I was rather shocked, this was the first time I can recall anyone on the Morning Show saying Dave's name on air (other than the first couple days immediately following his departure).  In fact a week or so before that they were talking about songs that had such emotional significance that they always reminded one of a certain time & place, etc...so, for the first time in months I called in & said, "not to put too fine a point on it, but any Fogheads who've been listening to 10at10 over the years know that Dave Morey's term for these is Sledgehammers, and I believe he used the term on the Morning Show, too."  I got the brush off & they didn't replay my comment.

Actually I've heard them mention Dave on more than a few occasions -- "Dave used to say ____", "that was a favorite of Dave's" etc. I've never felt like it's forbidden or anything. And when he was in town last month they posted about it on Facebook. But the Sledghammer thing is weird, given that he did 3 or 4 "10@10"s revolving around it.

So, was it a bald ugly head twin-spin then?   ;)
