Len Berman & Todd Schnitt to WOR mornings 1/26
- Thread starter raccoonradio
- Start date
You'll find that post on the NYRMB in between the ones evangelizing Bob Grant as the best thing ever to happen to radio, and a bunch of old white men pontificating over "What Would Martin Luther King Say About Hard Core Rap?"
Grant, of course, infamously pioneered the kind of racist, hate mongering conservative talk radio that paved the way for today's demise of the AM band. And the not-so-thinly-veiled racist undertones of the MLK thread only further reveal the kind of participants who are active on that forum, and who are sadly drawn to commercial talk radio in general.
The original observation is correct, the only female host on WOR has been ousted to make way for another team of 50+ white men (or at least nearly 50, in Schnitt's case). I was a fan of Len Berman's TV sportscasts but I can't see how this show will do anything but perpetuate the negative stereotype of conservative AM talk radio today.
It is what it is. In your view, it's negative. To those who like it, it's not.
The ratings show that across the US, fewer and fewer people are liking it. And the ones who are left are quickly aging out of the advertising demo.
Besides Howard Stern, very few morning radio hosts have been good. The shows on WABC and WOR are there to surround the news and traffic reports. For example, WOR had Ed Walsh as a morning host for years, and he wasn't the most entertaining host. Curtis and Kuby were a larger show in mornings than in afternoons, because they had the advantage of people tuning in to hear the reports, and not everyone wants to listen to music that early. Imagine what kind of ratings Don Imus would get if he wasn't on in the morning. I don't know if this show will be good, but it's not the end of the world.
Most of the posters on that board are liberal, and Allan deletes more posts from conservative posters than from liberal posters.

Schnitt will do am-drive on WOR & a syndicated pm--drive show on other stations ?
Seems like WOR may be shooting itself in the head again. And, let's see how long
Berman & Schnitt like getting up at 4am or earlier.

was WOR paying off Segal during the past year? the reason for waiting a year to hire Schnitt ?
No Big A what hard core rap is is an acknowledgement of their status in life that's why they are always using the N word...they know what they are.
We dont have a race problem in America but we sure do have a functional illiteracy one. Mike Brown "graduated" from the 2nd worst school in all of st louis metro, so what was his HS diploma worth?
What are you talking about?
do i have to spell it out for you? they are not black but N's, and they admit it to the world the original rappers were not N's notice they never used the word.
Aw, what a spoiler. The quintessential conservative talk radio proponent spells out the phrase they all wish to shout on air from their golden microphone podiums every day.
Richard, I do agree with you on one point. Salem should have hired you. You would have been a perfect fit.

You really have no idea what you're talking about. Just the same old crap over and over.
It's what you call sinking any chance of a radio career.
We're talking about WOR, not rap music. Time to take your medication.

If I finally meet some smart people they will understand I am ahead of the curve and you will be talking about this in 2-3 years. Ohbama legacy is the death of political correctness and everything is on the table including race......

Oh, now I get it -- he lives in Ney York City.
Yup and i would have gotten up at 4am to be at WNYM studios for 530 am to work on Joe Piscopo's show but salem said i was too old for that.
I always thought Hannnity sounded like he was reading everything he said. I think he's better at TV... Everyone in Talk radio is a Rush Clone. Especially Glenn Beck..but his is Rush+Tammy Faye Bakker.
