Bob O Now Doing Mornings on "Fox Oldies"

D

disney fanatic

I was listening to "Fox Oldies" the other day right before it went to all-Christmas for 48 hours, and I've heard at the end that Van Ritshie is on vacation until January. But now, Bob O is doing mornings on this station. Here is the problem. Bob O is still doing middays from 10 AM until 3 PM as well as Saturday, and he's also doing fill-ins for Van Ritshie. You know how much air time that he did? Over 9 full hours. That is a total waste! Here is an idea. "Fox Oldies" needs to bring back Bob Miller. He does a great job doing fill-ins for Van Ritshie and Joe Manglass last year before he came to WBPM to do morning drive. I would love to see him come back. If not, bring some more fill-ins like Max Kinkel, Gary Clark, Jeff Samantic, Rick McCaffery, and some other "Oldies 97.7" people to do fill-ins for Van Ritshie, Joe Manglass and others or possibly add a female jock to do "Fox Oldies".

This is after Christmas, and Bob O is doing his 9-hour shift and then Joe Manglass is in for Buffalo Bob and Buffalo Bob is in for Joe Manglass. This is totally a mess. I hope Van should return to mornings in January, I guess this is what the station needs. Either bring in a fill-in person, or wait until some changes taking place.

LOL, I didn't drink, I just want to point it out if someone should hire some fill-in Guy, but I also have an aircheck of Bob Miller when he was on "Fox Oldies" back on 10/21/11 where he did his last show filling in for Joe Manglass. I might dig this one up. After that, he goes to WBPM to do mornings permanently 3 days later. I might be re-posting it later.
 
I almost ignored this thread as more Disney Fantasy of moving DJs around stations to ‘fill in’. However, good grief Disney at least get a fact straight while playing radio stations; Joe Manglass is doing mid-days while Bob O fills in for Van, who is on vacation. This is always how Sunrise does it. I suppose they could bring somebody over from co-owned WJGK to VT but then what would you have to post?
 
Morning drive is the only live air shift. Not sure how they do the all request show. I will say that having bob on instead of van is a breath of fresh air; van has to go, as his whole show is all about him. Even if it isn't he twists it around to him. Tom Duff is supposedly his sidekick, and he says some stuff that bruises Van's extremely huge ego.But, the show with van and duff is a lot of schoolgirl giggling and backslappin'....This morning he was vt and spittin' and sputterin'. The live show that bob does with Lori G. is consistently #1 in its market. I understand that Tom Duff is physically in Florida. Corsino is getting worse by the day with his inside jokes and mindless drivel between tunes. They better do something if they want to get the ratings up, like some Live programming.

I had the misfortune of hearing BPM the other day, so called format all over the place, and Miller and Brian Jones??? that was tired in the 90's, and jones still sounds like the sniveling nerd. surprised it even made the book...

Neither of those are true.
