Official Welcome from the Diocese of Syracuse
Another creative programming move by the geniuses at Citadel. When Citadel signed O&A, the word was that they intended to put them on 10 stations. Syracuse makes 9.
You'd think that they would have learned a lesson from committing multiple markets to a syndicated morning show instead of developing local talent. Oh, wait, they never did try local talent, did they? Instead, they tried recycling Beaner and Ken (who?), bastions of ALABAMA broadcasting, and split the show between two disparate markets. It's hard to understand why THAT didn't catch on.
You can't blame Alexis. I'm sure that these decisions were made FAR above - just like the decision to blow up a successful morning show in Buffalo to put Dopie & Agony on there. Just ask the sales department in Buffalo how well THAT'S worked out.
As far as Syracuse is concerned, O&A HAVE to be an improvement over Boner & Kin. I'm sure that "Canon" will be welcoming them to town with open arms. Heh.
