Interesting, I always liked Jeff Ward and Ed together. Looks a shift from right to more moderate politically speaking.
I liked Jeff Ward when he first started in radio. I think Jeff Ward and Bill Schoening (now the radio voice of the San Antonio Spurs) were originally paired together on KVET-AM. I think that might have been the first sports radio program in Austin. They were both informative, energetic, and entertaining back then. I think Craig Way came here from Dallas to take Bill Shoening's place for that program. Jeff later moved to KLBJ-AM with his own show.
Jeff has said that he gets more listeners by talking about school uniforms to soccer moms so that is the focus of his current (the past five or ten years) show.
His presentation is awful. There are long gaps (in the seconds) between words. If you have an analog radio and try to tune in his program, you have to wait for several seconds for him to say something to tune in the station. That is not just my opinion. Dale Dudley has mentioned this many times.
Ed Clements has always been informative, energetic, and entertaining. They are good together IF they talk sports.
I just can't listen to them in the hope that they will talk about sports every once in a while. I think in the past, the 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM hour was dedicated to sports but I don't think that is the case anymore.
They have been talking about the changes the past few weeks (little hints, one at a time) on KLBJ-FM. It sounds like far right radio is not holding the listeners so they are trying this shift to the middle on KLBJ-AM.
