Monday, November 8, 2004 at 7:30 PM Last sunday 11/7, Loveline wasn't on, instead the metal show which ends at 10pm kept going untill midnight. There wasn't any mention of the show not going to be syndicated anymore. That sunday I emailed the station, the only email that would work was the email address for the metal show. Today I got back a response here it is:
Dear WXTM, I am very disappointed in the lack of care you give your syndicated
show Loveline. It's always a guarantee that on Sundays you will let
the metal show run over, tonight 11min and still going. Also, how you
now always miss the ending closure of Loveline. Why is this? Please
explain to me in technical terms what is causing you to let the metal
show run over and why you miss the ending to Loveline. Cue tones
should help you automate the goings of the show, but for some reason
it seems as if almost you don't even use a decoder system.
A lot of my friends got turned onto the station only because of
loveline. If your not even going to care about it just drop the show.
I'm sure I can find another station to pick it up, another station to
listen to. From,

Subject: RE: LovelineBrett, Loveline is gone. WXTM no longer carries it. Thanks for listening to The Metal Show!
I thought they were screwing around but tonight they are playing music, new DJ too. I am very pissed. I am going to call WXTM tomarrow morning to talk with the program director if I can get a hold of him/ her. Also I am going to look to see what other stations may want to carry the show now.
The website of the station: www.923extreme.com - still lists Loveline
The phone number of the station: 216 - 861 -0100
The email that works: churchofmetal@923xtreme.com
Also this is an Infinity owned station there is one more station in my market owned by infinity. WNCX 98.5FM they play stern in the morning. I hope they will pick it up.
Anybody who listens to WXTM I encourage to call and email them, complain and bitch till we get Loveline back. —24/7KROQ |

Tuesday, November 9, 2004 at 2:14 PM Just got my answer from the programming director: Love Line has been removed permanently due to lack of ratings. There just weren't enough people listening to be able to bear the cost of running the programming. Revenue is tied to ratings, and low ratings=low revenue.
I'm personally a big fan of the show, and hate to see it go, but we were just unable to keep it.
CRAP!

Tuesday, November 9, 2004 at 4:07 PM I thought it would never happen to me. I havn't gave up yet. Im going around to other stations hoping to be able to get one of them tunred onto Loveline. Even the live feed at 1am here would be fine. —24/7KROQ |

Tuesday, November 9, 2004 at 5:28 PM Hey Brenda, I just got almost the exact same answer from the program director at the Zone in Greensboro. It said the same thing, that the show was took off due to lack of ratings, "nothing else." The last line of the e-mail, said that "And it won't be back anytime soon." Living in the Triangle, I only listened to that station for LOVELINE. See ya, Zone. PS, your new morning show sucks ass! Meanwhile, I e-mailed the programs manager of 96Rock in Raleigh, and they said they weren't going to have anymore "non-local programs." Now, I'm going to try rock 103.5 down near the South Carolina border, but even If they took up the show, you most likely won't hear it in the triad. NC radio sucks. —Brice |

Tuesday, November 9, 2004 at 6:54 PM Does anyone know how Loveline is doing in other parts of the country? If the ratings are getting low, perhaps they might not bring the show back at contract time (February). I will start one kick-ass grassroots movement if that becomes the case! —Hobo84 |

Wednesday, November 10, 2004 at 6:17 PM I was annoyed when q104 dropped it, and then i found it 2 years later, and it is gone again...
I didn't listen to 92.3 until loveline came on. Definitely not listening there anymore.
24/7kroq please get back to us soon with the results.

Edited Thursday, November 11, 2004 at 9:58 AM I have some good news!
I emailed 100.7fm WMMS monday and I got a response back today, it looks good so far. From: Bishop, Mark (Munch)

Subject: RE: LovelineI sent this to our PD!

I didn't realize that q104 picked it up before 92.3, of course 92.3 wasn't extreme it was 92.3 the beat. I'm hoping for the best, I'll tell you what I get back from the program director at wmms.

Thursday, November 11, 2004 at 5:26 PM "Can you help us in NC? Brice thinks it looks hopeless--maybe you can help. We got a new FM talk station recently--" If by new talk you mean 101.1 WZTK - no luck. First, their owned by Curtis Media, the same group that e-mailed me saying they wouldn't program any more national shows. Also, that time slot is already filled up with other talk hosts, and furthermore, Fox News Radio helps program the station; there's just no way you'll catch Adam and Drew on a Fox News sponsored talk station. If you pick them up, try going after 106.5 in Charlotte; they're unreachable in the Triangle, but in the triad area, you might pick that station up, and they're most definitely a great target for Loveline's audience. Try them, that's all I can tell ya. You actually have a good chance with them. But yeah, otherwise, forget it. Sorry.

Thursday, November 11, 2004 at 5:29 PM WMMS? They're owned by Clear Channel. Listen to their morning show for 5 mins and it'll be painfully clear that if they're not retarded Red-State Lovers, it won't be on their airwaves. —CWRUFan |

Thursday, November 11, 2004 at 8:04 PM Don't worry, I feel good about 100.7 wmms picking it up. When I was real young I remember listening to that Dr. laura at night. Loveline just seems a good fit with 100.7 —24/7KROQ |
