DJ Vybe Says Goodbye to 845 R8dio

 

As my Twitter & Facebook followers heard yesterday, I ended my relationship with 845R8dio.com, my home internet radio station for more than 3 years.

There’s no big scandal or anything, so I’m sorry if I disappointed anyone 🙂 — but I wanted my fans to get it from the horse’s mouth before rumors get started. 845(R8dio) had a good vision for the future when I signed on, so I signed on cause I got love for the underdog. However, having a vision without execution cannot manifest itself as a “living dream”.

It was a great run…from the jump of the announcement of bringing the Hot Vybe to 845, the traffic jumped 200+ percent; we added an arsenal of DJs soon thereafter; and the energy was great and we held steady.
But for me, I like to evaluate and reflect on my business relationships, partnerships and associations business and personal from time to time, and see what I need to change in myself or those relationships to ensure they give value toward the goals.
Over time 845 went through some technology changes that caused a lot of pain, the list of DJs began to thin out due to their own personal issues, and our programming weakened a great deal. All of this contributed to a loss of listener confidence and the numbers reflected it. There was also a time when I considered leaving about a year and half ago, I tried to hang in there a little longer while management did some re-organizing. As time went on I realized that I was carrying the station, as I did in the beginning, but with little to show from the station.

I will continue to produce the syndicated “Hot Vybe” show for stream via my website (www.realdjvybe.com), my Android mobile app for my fans, 53K annual dot com visitors, and the other radio and music platforms that I have relationships with. #VybeMore
