Are the Regular Guys Trashing Frank Ski?

[RoddyFreeman]

This morning, Frank Ski said "2 guys on another station" have been out to trash him. He mentioned his friendship and support of Bill Campbell as one thing these guys are critical of. Ski said when there's a shooting in the black community, they ask what Frank Ski is going to do about it. He said when Vision announced its closing, they asked, "What's Frank Ski going to do now?"

I haven't heard the Regular Guys do this, but I'm guessing Ski's not talking about Chernoff & Smith or the 2 Live Stews. Then again, it's probably Kevin & Taylor.

Surely Frank wasn't talking about the Regular Guys. Why on earth wouldhe acknowledge a show that has a third of his own audience?

I could be Boortz & Krok.

I could be Boortz & Krok.

You could be right. I haven't listened to either of those shows in over a month, but I do recall a while back hearing Krok bashing Ski for essentially being two-faced.

Right. Also, neither Larry nor Eric are convicted felons. I'd like to see an actual, unweighted breakdown of the listenership in this city. Alas, it'll never happen.

Your racism aside, according to the Spring Book you'd have to conclude white people don't like TRG either.

Please enlighten us how what he said is racist, jbaxter? It is sickening how Ski continues to back that criminal. He got a break just to get two years.

For many years (1986 to 2003) I was down in city hall for various business related reasons. In incredibly fast fashion after Campbell became mayor certain departments ceased to function as efficiently (considering we are speaking of government) as they had done in the past. Not only is Mr. Campbell a convicted criminal, he severely damaged vulnerable portions of city government with his lack of attention to city business.

As we used to say in the '60's, Frank Ski, you are HIRED!

 

[jbaxter]

No defender of Bill Campbell. I was referring to the "unweighted breakdown" comment which implied that if minorities were less represented in Arbitron, somehow the Regular Stiffs would fare much better in the ratings.

If you listen to either WAOK, Or V-103 It's so see thru. Meaning that no matter what anyone who might be of (COLOR) does wrong they are shown to be wronged if the matter
includes any type of punishment including jail time or community service. WAOK is the left
radio station for the Black Community, and Frank Ski is the Left Spokesperson for the mornings on the FM. Bill Campbell is a criminal no matter how you look at it. He made decisions that now are putting him in prison for a while at least. And Frank, Wanda, Or Dr white of WAOK if you read this: It does not matter if the Attorney's were white or black,
Bill Campbell did things that are not right in our society. Skin color in this country we live in does not give (ANYONE)the right to do wrong and get away with it! I am so sick of seeing the Black/Urban radio stations cater to those who do so much wrong and are expecting all the rest of us to forgive and forget only because (THE MAN) has kept you down. Please, enough of the (He's a Minority, he didnt do anything bad mentality)! If your'e wrong , YOURE WRONG! Deal with it, fix the problem, Do your time and guess what
I forgive you!

Did you not read my last post? I would never defend Bill Campbell or Frank Ski for defending him. Once again, I was referring to the comment that Arbitron's metholodology was somehow keeping the Regular Guys in the ratings basement.

Which is a racist statement how?

Russy Pelican,

Here's the original statement:

I'd like to see an actual, unweighted breakdown of the listenership in this city. Alas, it'll never happen.

Your comment implies some sort of injustice toward the Regular Guys in the fact that diaries may be weighted to match Atlanta's demographics and looking at the "actual, unweighted breakdown" would put the RGs in a favorable light that the weighted numbers do not.

So we're left to guess why you think that an "actual, unweighted breakdown" would be meaningful to you.

Thank you Jim V. That was my point, but you stated it much better than I did.

Implied injustice aside (which wasn't the intent, but nevermind), I'd still like to know how the statement is racist.

I wasn't saying it was rascist. I was trying to explain why the statement could be interpreted as rascist. Here are some possible explanations for why you would like to get a look at the unweighted numbers.

1) You are interested in statistics, and you want to understand the weighting formula Arbitron uses.
2) You don't understand statistics, and believe that weighting the diaries is somehow giving less accurate information, and the raw data would be more accurate.
3) You value the opinion of the more of demographics that have higher diary return rates.

Given that ethnic demographics tend to have lower return rates, one might speculate that you want to see the raw numbers because you value the non-ethnic diarists' opinions more, but that's just conjecture.

Why do you want to see the raw numbers?
