850 wftl

"And I, er, ah....on this date in 1947, and I eh ah don't bother to compose or research, er ah actual stories, and but, I ah, just read them, er ah straight out of the Sun-Sentinel. So anyway, er ha, before I go off on anymore tangents, er ah no relevant to this er...ah...story. So this guy who invented the wheel....er ah. That reminds of of the time, eh ha..and a, but a.

So the new guy can't be any worse than....
 
I did notice that the new Barksky show sucks. Sad. Just a big yuckfest in PM drive. 3 guys just continually telling stupid jokes and laughing at each other. ::)

Also, they are now "Big Talk 850." Think another "Big" station in the market will be a little upset?

Then again....will they, or anyone else.....notice? ???
 
I live in the Dallas area, and listened to Barsky on CBS's Sports FM The Fan. He was funny, but seemed to be constantly bogged down with sports . Found out from a friend that he was in Miami-Ft.laud, so i came here for a search. I listened to the new show on line yesterday, and what i heard i liked. Funny the way i remember, seems to be more in his element then sports. Although the stream went down a few times. i think the show will be an alternative to political talk. I'm sure he's got full control since i think he owns a piece of the station. Is he the PD too?

You have got to be kidding. For god sakes. Somebody tell Hillard to dump this station, its drained his pockets long enough. I wonder if Clear Channel's legal department is drawing up the papers for the legal action against JCR.

Can't be worse than the morning show, or that crossover non-sense that follows. Geeze.

Why not? Sounds like the SAME programming genius applied to 640 Sports. Again, 790 is the definitive sports station.

What are you smoking? 790 is a JOKE. Hopw they get the ratings they do is beyond me.
 
790 is lesser of the three evils of sports radio. I think we can agree the format in SFL is weak across the board. Out of the three, its 790, 560, and distant 3rd, 640. So if you got to choose, its 790, although I do agree with you it has its problems, but it's problems in which I can deal with and not yell at my radio and switch off out of frustation. I simply can't do what when it comes to 640. That's the point I was trying to make, I guess.

I think that's why 790 gets the ratings they get. No place else to go, so you pick the one that sucks the least, which is 790. I feel they have a consistent quality on air from shift to shift, that their is an actual program director enforcing some level of quality control. There is a level of effort, so I can appreciate the effort. The other guys don't have that, at least it doesn't sound that way on air.
 
There *is* another sports station in the area, and it's 50,000 watts. That really tells you how *it* is doing.....
