    WXBM-FM despirately needs a whole lot more than a new P-D to pull it out of its long and self imposed troubles. It has been sinking in the ratings for several years for a number of reasons, the GM, PD and the format. Its air sound is extremely predictable, repetitious, sloppy and its air talent is boring. Its everything radio is not supposed to be. It needs a broader and better music rotation clock, a tighter air sound, new and lively air talent and a news department which does news and not history taken from the morning newspaper. Keep the talk short, relevent and keep it moving. It also needs severe weather coverage. No station in the Pensacola market does any of these things. Radio should be entertaining, fun, unpredictable and dependable. I wish Ms. Lane well in her new position. She is locked into a predictable format and it will be hard to make any headway.
