CC Cleveland cuts - Part Deux

But why would Triv sacrifice his Mr. Chicken on Tuesday????

What's the "Mister Chicken Wednesday Special" without Marty?

It's all about the chicken ;D
 
Well...I guess these posts prove that no one listens to Triv because he sucks so badly. No one knows the bits. No one knows the cast of characters. No one knows he doesn't stick to format....blah, blah, blah.

You've sure cleared that up. Thanks!!

Seriously, what I did learn from the comments posted in this thread (and past threads on the guy that no one listens to, yet everyone knows a whole bunch about his show) by photo linked in an earlier post is that it's OK to shovel food down your gullet on what looks like a constant basis if someone is your 'friend', or if they're 'cool' (proving, from that photo, the public perception that all radio people are so terminally obese that they generate their own gravity)...but not if you're a guy that no one CLAIMS to listen to, except to complain about him shoving food down his gullet, his manner of speech, his not following format, his lack of knowledge on things people who don't listen to his show think that he should be knowledgeable about, etc.

...and guess it wouldn't follow logically that, since no one listens to the show, then no one would have heard what he said-if anything, by the way-about the loss of personnel from the show (unless, of course, you heard about it from your best pal or the hep-cat daddy-os in the area).

Again: switch if off if you don't like it ("but...but...but...I already SAID I don't listen!!!!"); no one's forcing you to listen (and now that buddies and the kewl-kids ain't working there, it should be really easy now, right?).

Love,
Triv

Ahh, another reference to my weight. You probably read my response about that on the listening party where I posted that it's been years since I've been hurt by somebody who can't come up with one original thought so they attack my weight. Boo hoo!

Now if you read my blog, you will see that I've not attacked Triv. It was Cheap Channel, you know, the folks who have done everything they could this past week to destroy local radio.

And if you've read my blog or what I post in the Listening Party, you will know that I'm a fan of the Rubber City stations. The folks I've gotten to know from there are class acts, folks who are not full of themselves.

And for the most part, people who don't have to compromise their core moral values just to say they're number one.

But what do I know? According to Triv, I'm just a "screwball moron who thinks I know everything about broadcasting, but really doesn't."
Thanks for reading my blog, Triv.
 
Huh? What? Re-read the post. I was attacking the weight of the guys that got fired, and not really attacking their weight...just pointing out the hypocrisy of people who deride someone that seems to be eating all of the time on the air, but having buddies and neat-o-cool dudes that, well, face it, look as if THEY could miss a dinner or thirty.

That, and the fact the photo posted (on the Ohio Media Watch blog) does nothing to dispel the fact that people perceive the radio profession to be a bunch of overweight slugs that sit on their cans all day shoveling food into their mouths just 'cause someone brought it in for them.

Dang. Sensitive much?

XOXO
 
Nope, just think it's hilarious that the trivlidites have to come into the "chat rooms", as he refers to them, to defend him against "screwball moron bloggers."

I think that Triv should send checks to me, OMW, and John Gorman for the show prep we saved him the past few days.

I'd rather stick a knitting needle through my skull than listen to Trivisonno any day. I haven't for many years now... there are better things to do.

If anything, I heard about his meltdown a few days ago when Rover played it back the next morning. That's how I found out how reckless he's become on-air... because he attacked Rover, so Rover rebutted him the next day.

Triv turned me off when he mercilessly attacked Omar Vizquel on-air. Oh, and when he and Carmen Policy and Butch Davis composed a nasty three-way. ("Man, can that Butch Davis coach...") >.<
 
The whole attraction of Triv seems to be sort of like the Beverly Hillbillies. That is to say, put the unsophisticated in a sophisticated setting and watch the zany hijinks.

Triv does a show where he is expected to talk about world affairs and social issues, and you get hilarious results like:

(actual quotes)

"Arabs....Jews......I'm always gettin' dem mixed up"

or how about

"I ain't eatin' at no place where they employ homosexuals. I could catch AIDS from da silverwear".

Ehhhh Doggies, Jethro. Look at that there feller with the big bandage on his haid. He must have one dickens of a headache!

Beyond pathetic.
 
Or another classic, "People don't have a gambling problem, they have a losing problem."

And don't get me started on traffic and weather together on the 10's.

Now that. That. Is genius. Not the Triv-ial Quotes, the analogy. All that's missing is the see-ment pond and Miss Ellie.

LMBO

Now you know that Ellie May would be the flavor of the month announcing the sponsor of the traffic report. And Mr. Drysdale will be played by Ray Davis.
 
And yet he continues to work in radio (must be cheap), and 'youze' continue to talk about him.

Sucks=don't listen=lost revenue=off the air, unless you are an idiot ******-glutton for punishment....then, by all means, keep tuning in so you can feel superior with your posts and your blogs and your radio training from a thousand years ago that got you nowhere.

This is fun!
 
You should limit your trolling to the Listening Party. The big kids play here and you might get hurt.
 
And besides, I never disputed Triv being top rated. Afterall he has no competition in afternoon drive. I normally don't have a herd mentality and most of the time prefer the Rubber City Stations since they have a clue about how to take care of their listeners. I have been interested to hearing what the man had to say in the past week since 1, Rado is a friend of mine, and 2, he called me out on the air last Thursday.
 
What makes you think that Trivisonno had anything to do with the decision? My guess is that Mr. Trivisonno was told the news only shortly before Rado and Marty got the call to the office.... and that there wasn't much he could do about it. He's under contract.. could have made some noise, but probably picking his battles. Both are talented people and in the long run this may be a blessing as they never would have grown much more in Trivisonno's shadow.
 
Half the appeal of Triv is his banality, the "I-can't-believe-a-guy-this-stupid-is-on-the-radio" factor. He gets big ratings on a 50kW flamethrower with zero head to head competition because that's the way Cheap Channel plays the game. It's the radio version of a four car pile-up on I-90 in afternoon drive.

The other half of Triv's appeal is people who listen, hoping that something coherent will someday fall from his lips. Kinda like, "I was there when Triv's dopamine level was up, his neurons fired properly and he said something that actually made sense."

It has nothing to due with any of us wanting to feel superior. Ah hell, maybe it does. But really, it's simply stating what is, the way it is. Triv's an embarrassing moron. Highly rated, and well paid, but that doesn't change what he is.
 
So then what you're saying is that there is no other embarrassing, stupid, mush-mouthed moron competing with..apparently, what the unwashed masses want..to put on the air opposite him? That there should be at least 2 lousy talk radio 'personalities' on at the same time...that there should be another one of him on against him to compete with him?

You mean to say that there is nothing...NOTHING..better on at the same time he's on? I thought Maxwell was a god, according to these boards right here...what, you can't get better stuff there? What...Golic sucks WORSE than Triv?

Yeah...I get it. I get why radio's dying if this is what people want, yet they claim to not want it.

And you can get off your high horse, WIXY. I just happen to be someone who thinks you're not the water walker that you think you are. Neither you, nor someone else who's got a blog and thinks that THEIR stuff doesn't stink when it comes to radio views, are the end and be all to what's what on the dial.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, criticize.
 
I sort of liked Triv when he stuck to talking about sports. At least you could almost believe that he knew what he was talking about...sort of. But now that he is babbling about politics - and spewing the obligitory vitriolic right wing propaganda that is mandated by Clear Channel - he just sounds foolish. My favorite - "Mark my words, Obama's not even gonna make it through four years." Consider those words marked.

Funny...I don't think I'm a water walker either. And I'm just a fan of good radio who thinks at this stage that the industry as a whole could do much better. My listening habits don't count in Cleveland anyhow as I live in Wayne County.

And if you folks at Oaktree would read my blog, you would see that a very small percentage is about radio or any other media. I type from my heart, not what some suits in San Antonio want me to express.

Wouldn't want to be as successful as some in radio were anyhow. Alan Freed.....died an alcoholic. Pete "Mad Daddy" Myers....committed suicide. Gary Dee....died of heart failure at age 59, was reclusive his last few years.

Triv will enjoy his bragging rights into the foreseeable future. I would be interested to hear what he has to say when his ride is over.
 
Paul Harvey, Jaybird Drennan, Casey Kasem, Rick Dees, Dick Clark, Joe Finan, Wolfman Jack, Dr. Demento....tragic all as well.
*sigh*
While you still can't admit that someone other than a Clear Channel employee thinks that you're full of manure, let me just....
Nah. I'm bored with it.

And what did all these people have in common? They all made it in more than one market and they all treated people on the air like they wanted to be treated. When Triv makes it in multiple markets and against some competition, that will be an accomplishment.

Also let's compare him against John Lanigan. He first had to fill some big shoes, those of Don Imus. While at WGAR, he went against Mike Reineri, Gary Dee, and Jeff and Flash. After he came back from Tampa, he went against, Jeff and Flash, Howard Stern, and Rover. After all these years, John Lanigan still stands tall. I don't like him near as well as I did 20 years ago, but you can't dispute those accomplishments. And Lanigan didn't have to change his politics to please anyone.

And I don't care what you think of me, whether your name is H.Anthony Wayne, or your other forum name of 2smooth4u.

And Triv might become a good broadcaster if he'd ever learn how to communicate.
