Angry White Men bore me

Hi guys...I posted this in the Boston forum, because i think I already know the answer for Providence...and was shocked to hear even 'young' Matt does the angry white man routine..:

Quick question for the Beantown faithful:

Does ANY manager allow for interesting, humorous talk any more? I have almost 30 years in the radio/tv biz, did news in Boston years ago, and now just switched to talk in a medium market. I do it the way we always did it, current events, fun, politics, etc a good mix. It's working great here, but I think most radio managers are afraid to go away from the 'formula'. I lead into Rush, Hannity and Savage, yet I don't rant over local politicians like it seems Boston and Prov hosts do. I've been very successful doing it this way. Are their others in Boston doing 'normal' talk?

Thanks

Any in Providence? Who was the last to succeed with 'normal' talk?

I'd have to go back in time and say the late Jack Comely did well with it on the old WJAR. Sherm Strickhouser also did it when on the old WICE 1290's talk day with Bob Crohan.
 
Not that I listen to talk much but the crop we have just knows how to hit the right buttons. I swear it's all just self promotion and they get riled up over things no one really cares about.
 
Ok, How do you feel about Passive Black, Gay guys? How about Women who act like men?
What about Men who speak very gayly??
Matt has PASSION, He actually cares about whats going on.
The Politically Correct term Angry White Men, sounds like ROSIE O'DONNELL .
Do you REALLY want to sound like ANGRY beep beep?
( I can't say the terms for Rosie, they're POLITICALLY IN CORRECT! ) Walter.
 
Hang on. If Michael Moore's next big screen documentary doesn't gross more than $25 million he'll be syndicated on a radio near you. I think a lot of what's discussed on talk shows attracts people because of the sensationalism or tabloid nature of the topics, but very few of these topics really have a direct effect on peoples' lives. Do I really care if state workers are sending each other email porn? No.
