Gabba Gabba Hey! said:
I honestly think I am going to sit back and watch this one. This could get good. Real quick.
That's what I thought Gabba! I figured with how much bickering that goes on over basically nothing on the Lubbock boards, this would REALLY get 'em going. Maybe I should throw out a few of my opinions. I don't personally know most of these people...really.
Who's bad? Or should I say "Just not that good":
--That poor bas%!rd on 101 in middays. Shawn Dylan? Is he the son of the owners or something? I'm not trying to bag on the guy. I'm sure he's a good person...just a person who should not be allowed an air shift.
That place is almost cult-like. The people that work there are highly inexperienced and green when they hire them. They like it that way so they can mold them into yes men and women. Experienced talent hired from outside the building usually never lasts there because they have the knowledge to question management. Those stations have produced mediocre talent at best in their history.
--Rex Andrews on KFYO in the mornings. Not a good show host. He's a good news guy though.
--Nealy Yates. Like fingernails on a chalk board. Although, I saw her once and she's HOTTTT.
She's good at interacting with listeners and not being generic.
--The Max guy on Z102 belongs in a strip club or something. Also, he sounds very angry.
Does anyone listen to Z102 anymore. That ship sank several years ago.
--Dan Collins on 98.1.
Look on the bright side, we could have yet another piped in satellite morning show in his place.
--Mark Finkner on 1340
He sounds like his nose is stopped up, but seems to be knowledgeable on sports.
--Jackie Neil on Z102. Isn't she like 50 years old? Maybe she would sound better on 98.1
Or KDAV
--Steve Dale. Wow. Just...wow.
Nothing to add to it
Who's Good:
--Big. Only on FMX though. He scares my teenage neices on Z102.
Great rock jock. Shouldn't be on the air on anything but rock. FMX needs to find a full time slot for him. See previous reply about sunken ship as far as Z is concerned.
--Armon Williams. He does a really good job during the football broadcasts. The Z102 morning would benefit from letting him talk more.
Armon should run from Z. Run Armon Run!
--Wes Nessman. All the FMX people are actually pretty good.
A little arrogant, but one of the best in Lubbock
--Blake Ryan and Damon Scott on Mix100
Great delivery and always upbeat. Damon is an exception to the mediocre talent generalization about that building.
--Landon King on 98.1
Good for Lubbock. Sounds like he is yelling though.
--Ryan Hyatt on 1340
--Kelly DiAngelo (D'Angelo?) on KLLL
Was much better on Mix.
--Mike Harvey on 98.1. I think he voicetracks his show though.
--Zander on 101.
Great delivery. Kinda arrogant. Wouldn't expect to see him there for long. Outsiders usually don't last in that building.
Who has potential:
--Dwayne Wells on 98.1
--Chad Hastey. Sounds like a college radio host. Kind of comes off a little arrogant.
--Jerry Brownlow. Not alot of energy.
As long as he has been around, I don't think the potential is going to develop. I've heard he is a nice guy.
That's just a few I could think of off the top of my head.
