680 The Fan sked change??
- Thread starter bclark71.
- Start date
Chuck & Chernoff are ever-boring? That show has the potential to be on an 'all-time' list five years from now, at least among the sportstalkers..put another way, it's brilliant.

I agree. Chuck & Chernoff could possibly work in the mornings, but then there would be that void from noon-3PM. Was Chuck & Chernoff on at 1PM today???

Chuck and Chernoff are medium talents, at best. They have the potential to be better, but they are much too marginalized. They spend too much time on college football, which plays well to a segment of the audience, but discounts the idea that, in Atlanta, there are sooooo many transients. And while they might be able to broaden their show, they don't. So, ultimately, they cater to rabid college football fans year-round, which is what you would do on a station in Tuscaloosa or Knoxsville. But in Market #7? The audience is too diverse for that.
Put it this way: when, during the opening week of the baseball season you spent hours discussing the salaries of defensive coordinators in the SEC, you're not ready for prime time sports talk.

If I'm still in the mood to hear sports talk after Dan Patrick is done at Noon on 1340, I just go over to Cowherd on 1230. I've gotten where I prefer listening to the national broadcasts on Fan 2/Fan 3 than I do The Fan. As a rule, I don't listen to anyone that calls himself "The King" when it comes to hosting a sports talk show. Plus, I can only take so much talk on college football. Even B&K is too much for me because of Buck's built-in UGA bias. I enjoy Kincaid a lot more when he's on his own than I do when Buck is there to drag the show down (and don't get me started on the "Atlanta Baseball Show").
790 doesn't exist in my mind, so they are not an option either.

I second that... although I listen to Patrick and Cowherd on Xm... followed by the Steve Czaban show... these guys do it right imo.

I think Chuck & Chernoff do a great job. They're the best of the local sports talk shows, IMO.
Seems from reading some of the above posts that a couple of you are transients. Otherwise, I'm not sure why you'd prefer national sports talk over local. It makes sense to focus most of your coverage on things/teams that the majority of your audience is interested in, doesn't it? If you want to hear about the Yankees and Red Sox all day, listen to a national show or to a show in those respective markets. The national shows spend PLENTY of time talking about them. That's not to mention SportsCenter running on an endless loop most of the day on television. I'd imagine Chuck & Chernoff would lose a greater percentage of their audience than they'd potentially gain if they were to follow some of the suggestions posted here. I don't need 3 hours on Favre's ongoing retirement/unretirement saga, questionable managerial decisions made by Jerry Manuel, or the stench of the Yankees bullpen at the expense of hearing absolutely nothing about the teams that interest me. I can get cliff notes on Favre, Manuel, etc. elsewhere if I want it. That's just me. I can certainly respect the fact that transients in ATL want to hear talk about their teams, but I'm not sure why they would expect a local show in ATL to focus on those teams outside the region and downgrade their coverage of the local teams and subjects that are of great interest to the vast majority of their audience.

I'll respectfully disagree. They covered the opening week of the baseball season. They didn't cover it exclusively though, I'll give you that. You must've only caught a small segment of the show if you think they ignored the start of the MLB season and talked about salaries of SEC DCs for hours. I definitely remember them talking about the SEC DCs, but it was just for part of a show on a single day and they did spend the vast majority of that show talking about the Braves and the start of the MLB season.

Lighten up, Francis. It's just radio schtick. No need to take it so seriously.
