i agree 100 percent with you. there's only one female i've connected with, and when i tell you i've tried to hit up the major females and got no reply from any of them, i mean any of them. the day i feel that there is nothing else i can learn, i'll quit radio for good, and if that's how all those chicks feel, they need to sit down, because it takes a hungry and humble chick to give it to their asses. well said.

Why would someone respond to you? Your whole vibe is negative. I can hear your teeth grinding now. Maybe if you chill out and send out some different energy the results will be better for you. You are bashing folk but at the same time you say you haven't tried to reach out. Who really has the problem? Good luck on the information and mentor that you seek. Not an attack on you, just hoping you will take a look at yourself for a moment.

Pissed off! — Fri, 30 May 2008 14:39:38 -0000

why is it so damn difficult for female jocks to connect with other female jocks? I mean, damn! Didn't they (meaning the Egypts, the Angie's, the Shamara's or Wendy's) admire someone in the industry one day? Wasn't there someone they looked up to? Didn't someone give them a shot? Is it common to lose your humility when you get to the top shelf? If that's the case, I like down here. But there's always room to learn more and you want to learn from someone who can flow with the same voice and issues that women flow with . It's hard to look up to these chicks man! Not that I've had any personal encounters with them or anything, but if I wanted to shoot an email or a myspace hit, I can't rely on a reply cause they won't. Look, don't lose YOU! Cause person you piss off just may be the one who comes in to take your spot!

Frontys, Chris & DeL ... Thank you so much for your advice. I guess sometimes easier said than done. But I promise and I know you don't know I'm going to focus more on my real passion. Funny how fear holds you back for way to long. Not other people but that freaking fear that enters when and if we let it. Again, thank you so much!

I don't have an answer to your question.

But, I can tell you that in the early 90's ('90-91) I approached several popular Chicago female mixers about being featured on the mix show on WGCI. They each told me that they didn't have an interest on being on the radio and wanted to remain exclusive to the underground scene. I was surprised because most of us assume that everybody wants to be on the radio and as I mentioned before we had female mixers Ms. Mystery and Xaviera Gold on WBMX in the mid '80's.

There has been only one female mixer since then that I am personally aware of that made it known that she wanted to mix on-air and that is "Sundance." Email me club1075@aol.com

Memorial Weekend Myrtle Beach — Wed, 28 May 2008 18:14:50 -0000

Cumulus Myrtle Beach is the reason no local stations weren't seen. They flipped KISS 98.5/WDAI from Urban to Urban AC. They also changed the name of Rhythmic HOT 100 FM/WSEA to POWER 100.3 adding Rickey Smiley in the AM and changing its positioner to "Hits and Hip-Hop." I guess the Wilmington,NC Cumulus Urban had to step in and take control of Black Bikers. Did anybody see the Cumulus Urban out of Florence,SC...WYNN 106.3? How about Chucktown? Was Z-93 Jamz there?

@ Armando.
Nice to read from a REAL RADIO VET!
Question 1,
I've been here a little over 22 years and I've NEVER heard of a woman djing on Chicago radio, let alone V103, when I got here, WBMX was coming to an end.
Since V103 has been up and running I've never heard a woman, I've never heard a woman on WGCI, B96, WJPC or even Power 92, but they are still fairly new, so they don't count....

Why are women so far and in between djing on Chicago radio?

I'm a little sensitive because I have a niece thats a dj, I speak with alot of female djs in different markets and since I've been here they don't exist...

Please respond....

Armando,

Thanks for information that was real radio in the 80's. And in Chicago, If you had the talent you got noticed. Somebody needs to tell the story of the 80's battles between BMX and GCI .

That's "great" that Sundance was on over the weekend. But, i have to correct you. We had a female mixer on WBMX back in the mid 80's in Chicago. Her name was Ms. Mystery and she was a regular guest mixer. We also had Xaviera Gold as a mixer for a while, too. Xaviera would go on to record the classic House song "You Used To Hold Me" with Ralphi Rosario, another mixer on the radio station. I was the host of the show on the radio station at that time.
