At the end of the day, it still comes down to familiarity, credibility, and personality. That's what it's all about.

I'm calm, I was just making my point. Knowing a little bit about the situation, I do know at least one of those let go isn't necessarily that young and wouldn't just be 'happy' to have it on their resume, like they didn't work for it.

Unfortunately, the one who "isn't necessarily that young" should have realized he was leaving a stable position
for a shaky one. Three guys on an evening show on a low rated station in Manahawkin??? That whole
thing was doomed from the beginning. I hope INTY lands on his feet, as a fellow African American,
I feel for him.

WCHR-FM is the only Class B stick in Monmouth/Ocean...yet the ratings suck. People like Q for their classic rock fix - wouldn't it make more sense to put WOBM-FM on the stronger signal...something, anything other than The Hawk seems like it would be a better fit for that stick.
 
"Just a bit outside" was alright but there was no flow to the show because they played so much music. They'd discuss a topic, give out the phone number, then go to 3 songs and a commercial break, who the hell is going to wait on hold that long? This isn't the Rush Limbaugh show. Then by the time they got back on the air they'd flounder around w/ no phone calls on that topic and then they'd just start the same thing over again with a new topic the following hour.
 
As crazy as it sounds, research has shown that people prefer about 10 minutes of music (3 songs) and then a talk spot. It's a different world we live in today than bck in the sixties/ seventies.
