I enjoy her show because it's not "the same old thing" on other radio stations. About the only other one is listen to is Nightside on WBZ because he/she/they/them/A.I. also talks with listeners and it's something different almost every night. Again, one of those ones I listen to on & off, mostly it's on WBBM or KYW since they're mostly news [and WBBM for the weather forecast because the weather they have today is what will usually be showing up the day after in my area]

I don't hear Rollye often, but every time I do, I'm reminded of what a great storyteller she is, and how many great stories she has.

And some of the music she uses as trivia questions......I thought I knew oldies but she's stumped me a couple of times.

One thing you quickly learn about Rollye ... she is an absolute expert on Oldies.

... And here's where I'll chime in: Last night, Friday 2/20/ listening to WGN 720 AM [over the air of course] to the Rollye James show. ... I'm getting ready to call in only to hear an ID or something about what a fun MONDAY night we're having. If you're going to rebroadcast a show, maybe strip out the parts where you have listeners call in for a prize or ID something, etc. ...

I heard a repeat of America's Morning News with Gordon Deal.

A REPEAT ... of a NEWS program. And toward the end of the show there was a gaff where the announcer began the story, then said, "Let me do it again," and re-started the story. Someone forgot to edit that out.

OK, stuff happens. but to leave it in for the repeat?

And check it out in the Podcast (at 26:30)


They didn't remove it there either.

So I believe Yabadabado1 is correct, broadcasters no longer give a s**t about their product.

What local "newsman" records his newscasts daily , from his condo- while pretending to be in a "newsroom'?

If you think this one hour is fudging, you would be AMAZED at the slicing and dicing they did to the Howard Stern show on KLSX back in the day, complete with 12 minute commercial breaks.

Some of them were over half an hour, easy.

For some reason the audio quality of Stern's show on KLSX also always sucked. Unnatural high end roll-off, monophonic, and extremely compressed sounding, even with the music originating from Stern's satellite feed. Whenever KLSX would cut away to its local spots, the audio improved a hundred fold. I used to wonder if that lousy audio was coming out of Howard's studio itself (i.e. if it even sounded that way on WXRK's transmitter), or if it was just the satellite feed ... or exclusively a problem at KLSX, possibly due how they might have been delaying for profanity. (I seem to recall that when Stern was live at 3 AM, it wasn't much better sounding than the replay starting around 6.)

How BBC Missed The Racial Slur That Could Define The 2026 BAFTA Film Awards

Inside story of how BBC missed John Davidson's unintentional racial slur directed at Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo during BAFTA Film Awards.
deadline.com deadline.com

From the article:
Deadline has spoken to sources familiar with events on Sunday evening. The recollection of those involved is that Davidson’s comment was not heard in the outside broadcast truck or in the auditorium during recording. Sources said representatives from the BBC, BAFTA, and Penny Lane in the OB truck were unaware of the N-word slur until the story started percolating in media reports and on social media.

If you think you can do better, go shadow a TV tech director and see what’s involved.

Recollection? "Umm, ahh, well, yeah, I think that's what happened. Yeah, that's it."

"Sources said representatives from the BBC, BAFTA, and Penny Lane in the OB truck were unaware of the N-word slur until the story started percolating in media reports and on social media."

So the outside world was fully aware of it while BBC says, "I don't know nothing?"

They had a TWO HOUR delay during which to use the dump button! I'm not buyin' it.

I seem to remember Michael Savage's last hour being some guest doing a monologue with Savage's recorded voice inserted saying "Oh my God", "that's unbelievable" and other wild tracks..
