And The Other Shoe Drops: BOTH Young & Elder out at Kix 106

I think I can see the bottom of the barrel from here.

Oh, I don’t know. There may be a few remaining actually talented air staff still hanging around that they haven’t gotten around to canning yet. Give it a few more months.
 
Been there, done that...the husband and wife morning thing.
Andy & Debbie in 1986 on KIX before Y&E the first time.
Too bad they are no longer married.
Super successful for the station during the 80's & 90's.
 
andy & debbie were great radio. i enjoyed hearing all about their marital bliss, political leanings and challenges raising kids. i hope duane and abby are half as interesting.
 
They aren't. Whomever hired them must be deaf. He ia a pathological liar with ZERO talent. Believe me, I would know I used to work with him.
 
Radiopro, I've known him for 4 years, professionally and personally, and have never know him to lie. In fact, he's brutally honest sometimes. Makes me wonder if you have a personal grievance with him that has nothing to do with him professionally.
 
Memphis Chick, Radiopro is dead on.

I've known Duane for years and worked with him. If you want to know when he's lying just see if his mouth is moving. He cannot look you in the eye to save his own pale skin.

That said, I think Duane and Abby are a good fit for Kix 106 and they may do very well. Only time will tell.

I have been listening while driving to work but I still don't get why KIX hired them.

My guess is Y&E were making some serious bank. They came here from a syndicated deal with Westwood One. What they have now is obviously a discount morning show. They could afford to go down 3 shares and still make money.
 
I know this is SOOOOO OLD but I was just flipping through some old post and came across this one. Looking back now I find this to be so funny. "My guess is Y&E were making some serious bank. They came here from a syndicated deal with Westwood One". (they left WGKX and took the syndicated deal that failed and then came back for their old jobs at WGKX) "What they have now is obviously a discount morning show. They could afford to go down 3 shares" (My sources tell me that the new morning show has gone up at least 4 shares in their target demo - females 25-54 and are currently #2 adults 25-54) Maybe Y&E got released, fired, laid off, whatever you choose to use. The fact remains is that their ratings were sliding down and out of control, or that BE was a problem employee (just ask Pat), oh yeah and the excuse to the general public "I'm running for mayor". Either way it was time for a change. The market needed some new talent instead of the same old recycled been there done that.
 
Hey Diamond. I notice you've posted a total of 21 times, and almost half of those are about your dislike of just one guy. And you had to go back nearly a year to dig up this tired old thread just to take your shots. I'm guessing someone tinkled in your cornflakes?

No tinkle here. And don't even act like you haven't ever looked back through old post and thought UHMMM that is not how it worked out or whatever. And as far as the "one guy" I worked parttime in radio for a while and now work in the banking industry and know people who worked with him and say he is a PIG. Who knows. In fact I run into Captain Pat occasionally in Atoka and he doesn't seem to care much about him these days. Beyond that I just thought it was funny how that post was so way off.
