Bubba The Love Sponge: Channel 10 News Contributor

Heard it and I am genuinely impressed. I agree with BTLS totally. Guess I'm going to have to knock either WSRZ or Max 98.3 from my presets and add 102.5.
 
Apparently MJ was also offered the gig and turned it down.

I actually don't mind the idea of some occasional commentary in local news, like Fox 13 used to do at the end of its 11 p.m. newscast. I'm just not sure Bubba is the guy a news station would want representing it. I think there are some other radio hosts (Mark Larsen?) who would have more "credibility" for such a segment on TV.
 
I caught his segment last night. Pretty much what I expected from BTLS, actually articulated his position well. However, he was standing on the set with his bowling shirt, ball cap, and shades. I figured he would be behind a faux radio set swallowing his RE20 mic! Maybe he should be behind a desk like Andy Rooney in a suit and tie! NOT! :D
 
How about a chalk board? Seriously, could BTLS replace Keith Olbermann?
 
Like him or not, let's give it up for someone in "our" business crossing over to TV. For years the thisclose relationship between newspapers and TV gave columnists lots of air time, no matter how little they deserved it. You almost never read about radio people in the newspaper unless they are getting fined or fired.

I long ago tired of having to invite members of other forms of media to the studio, only to find us shut out when it came to reciprocation.
