1360 is dissing old LIVE 105.3 Pugs called Gavin a Pu$$y and said he hated him. Also he said that it was his fault that LIVE 105.3 went under along with hating Russ. 1360 is good to listen to but man I never knew it was that bad over at the old LIve 105.3

I'm not surprised it was that bad, at all. In fact it may have even been a whole lot worse, and this is just the beginning of the story.
 
Live 1053 was a good station when it was "The Alternative Talk Station". Now it just bloooooooooows.
 
I do specifically remember Tom Leykis call out Gavin on his show for being a big baby. He even left a voicemail message to Gavin because he was preempted in Dallas without his knowledge. If I can find the audio I will present it.

Of all the people who were affiliated with Gavin, I would say 70-80% didn't like him.

Not saying that Tom would not have found out about Gavin's preempting Tom with the Dallas Stars Hockey Show, but Gavin was safe for a little bit. But thanks to Russ Martin calling into the Tom Leykis show and letting him know Gavin was thrown under the bus by the one man who Gavin thought was a friend.

Look at how Pugs and Kelly broke into a major market and then you realize what slime balls they are. They had a nice gig with a Stern lead in and Russ lead out. When they lost one, they couldn't carry their weight. They suck. No show prep, poor content, etc. Look at their history. No ratings and nobody wants to work with them, except no talent ****** bags like BDH. Another 6 months they'll go the way of Ron and Don, Liz Wilde, Kramer And Twitch, etc. No talent, no ratings, no show. It's actually a simple equation.

And Gavin is the one person who fought for them. They are the scum of the Earth and will soon broadcast from there.

What content are you looking for? Strippers and porn stars in studio? Prank phone calls? How about blowing up stuff? When you think about it, what are non-sports, non-political, non-religious oriented talk shows supposed to talk about?

As for lack of show prep I have no idea what they do to prepare each day. All I can say is, as a listener, I have yet to hear P&K run out of things to talk about in the three hours they must fill each day. And I find the refreshing spontaneity of the new show, which I assume arises from not scripting out every minute, something that was sorely missing from the latter days at KLLI and never present at the Bone. If they have alienated the likes of Russ Martin and Gavin Spittle to the point that neither will work with them in the future then I say "Good for them!" The absence of Russ and Gavin's influence has done nothing but improve the P&K show.

Who has ever said they didn't want to work with them? The only person from 105.3 I have ever heard anyone say they didn't want to work with was Russ Martin. P&K actually had damn good ratings even after Stern was long gone.
 
Pugs and Kelly was forced on 105.3 due to a contract situation. Is it a bad thing for a PD to be disliked? It hasn't hurt Bigby. If Spittle's such a loser (and he didn't do KRLD or 105.3 any favors) he's somehow got the CBS people snowed. The market manager in Houston (Purdy?) spoke about him as if he were a radio God.

Nobody disputes the circumstances which led to P&K's arrival at KLLI. Whether that situation kept them on the air for eight years is a whole different argument.

As for an arguably incompetent Gavin having CBS management completely snowed I'd like to welcome you to your first day in corporate America.
 
We're talking about the same company that thinks Kurt Johnson hung the moon. ::)

Gavin, IIRC, came from the CBS cluster**** in Las Vegas. #33 to mkt #5 and now to mkt #6.

If you think about Kurt and Gavin side-by-side, there's one glaring similarity, and it's the one that keeps them both employed at CBS and keeps both upwardly mobile in their careers: They are company 'yes'-men. They don't buddy up to talent (even to Martin...remember how Martin reeled in Dave Siebert the same way on the show, and it was all for show) or to anyone who's not in management. Apparently re-dictating company objectives and edicts is the way to stay on board. It obviously has nothing to do with successes or ratings. Ask Nikki Nite. Ask Bret Michael.
 
Like RM, why is P&K being discussed at all? The only attention they seem to be getting is here and maybe a few friends disguising their voice (or trying to) on the phone. If you are a fan of theirs and want people to notice them,this is not the place. Go hand out fliers, etc. to the people out in the world. Your rants and defense here seem like you are still studying for your GED's.

REALLY? Watch last nights TV and you'll know what they're going to talk about. Fact is Gavin fought for them tooth and nail and saved their jobs by putting his own ass on the line multiple times. They fell into a good spot when times were good and made the most of it, but are now at the gloryhole of radio and will soon be on their knees at an AM radio station in North Dakota fighting for the first guest at the hole. I'd say they were no talent hacks, but then I would be disrespecting Ron and Don.

Actually, you'll find more people who liked the RMS than Pugs and Kelly. They were horrible to be around and work for/with.

The only incompetent thing Gavin did was fight for Pugs and Kelly for so long. They could have been easily replaced and he would have suffered a lot less. Especially under Ongaro. Pugs and Kelly had good ratings when they had Stern and Russ as bookends. Especially with Stern because he ran over and they averaged doing a 3 1/2 hour show. They have no content. Hell, why do you think they're going after a PD who is Houston and a host who has been off the air since December? Any smart host/PD would tell them to move on and quit recognizing the past and giving them credence, but they can't. They have NO CONTENT! Challenging another host to a "cage match"? Are we in Tyler?
