Challenging Times

Nurse Jeff and I understand KFWhyEye's license to print money serve the public interest expires this October and listeners are invited to submit comments to the FCC about their performance. Well, there are a lot of things we find wrong with 5~Fifty...like:

- Barry Young's studio audience is not real

- Rush Limbaugh is time shifted one hour half the year

- Terry Gilberg is a kook

- Barry Young gets too much time off

- "What's in Bob Bennett's mustache" was yanked off the air

- I ♥ Radio promos are annoying and run too often

- Michelle Larson is constantly correcting TNBO's foggy memory

- Mike Broomhead rides a motorcycle without a helmet..and it shows

- Even if we had a million dollars, Keith DeGreen still wouldn't talk to us

- The Tuff Shed in Barry Young's backyard is not in compliance with the HOA

- HD2 is not the same as being on FM

So while all this is fresh in my mind, I'll have the Nurse jot it down and personally deliver our challenge to Uncle Charlie in Washington DC. If he takes the Gremlin, he'd better leave by August 1st to get there by the September 30th deadline!
 
Michelle Larson is constantly correcting TNBO's foggy memory

Ain't that the truth! The guy just purposely inserts other names or cities or whatever, he can't be that addled.

You left out:

- Broomhead "when I was on Glenn Beck last week"

- Gilberg - "I am OUTRAGED" fill in the blank of any kooky conspiracies

- Barry having nothing to talk about, so lazily placing blame on Obama for anything

- Broomhead "I know Ted Nugent"

- Larson being outraged when the president doesn't wear a tie

- Kim Komando recycling the recycled sound effects before telling each caller that they need something her sponsors sell

We need John Dayl to come back from the grave and expectorate more, at least with John, you knew that he knew that you knew that his outrage was schtick.
 
Maybe some others that were left out...

-KFYI employs illegal aliens, undocumented workers, or whatever they are called these days by having Raul on staff

-Dr. Bob's call in show doesn't actually take callers

-Some segments of Broomhead's show are only 3 minutes in length before another 12 minutes of commercials and traffic

-Terry Gilberg is only on 2 hours a week :( she's lovely

-Nick Nack doesn't fill in as board up for Barry anymore

-No more bottom of the hour news on the weekends anymore - this STINKS!

-That guy Darin who works with Broomhead should get more airtime than Andrew, or drew, or whatever his name is

-Coast to Coast brings out the kooks - ahh, now I see why Terry Gilberg leads into that show. It all makes sense now.
 
So, to sum up: Getting lectured and talked-down-to like a 3-year old on the FM talker makes for better radio - is more informative and entertaining - than any of the aforementioned on the AM talker. Reminds me of the scene in "The Purge" where Ethan Hawke is pulling into the driveway with the car radio tuned to a talker (specifically - with callers): needless to say, script-writers don't write monologue-radio into scripts because it would make for a bad movie as much as it makes for bad radio. Heck yeah the kooks on AM are way more funny-! ;D

But Karie Dozer-Here isn't as far out on the limb of a Kook tree as Terry Gilberg. However she is more annoyingly condescending.

It doesn't remind Nurse Jeff and me of the "Naked Gun" scene when Lt Drebin admires his girlfriend's nice beaver. In the movie you know exactly what she meant when she said "I just had it stuffed". The line doesn't work on radio unless you can tag videos like we've done here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhyCL-ELRxg

Heck yeah there are a lot more of them on Ancient Modulation, too ;D ;D
 
Barry Young is holding the line against kook talk (heard today) The kind that is heard on KFWHYEYE from 10pm to 4am (aka coast to coast.) He said the aliens and black copter and chemtrails do not exist. Thank you for the programming recommendations Mr Young. I will be sure NOT to listen to KFWHYEYE at that time upon YOUR recommendation.

I will also erect a Barry Young alter in my spare bedroom and anoint it with rogain.

You heathens attacking Mr Young do so at your own peril, as Mr Young said today, he is always right (last election prediction did not count.)
 
The worst thing about 550 is that KOY isn't there anymore. :mad: [/quote]

This is a recurring theme...possibly, a huge chunk of the truth.

Fifty - Five, Phoenix...K - O - Y
 
Also....

---How many times Michelle Larsen will remind us that her "hood" is North Scottsdale.

---Agreed, everytime there is a break we have to hear at least 2 promos for I ♥ Radio

---It's still better than the lineup of KTAR FM where their motto is: "We know it all, you simpletons...and your gonna listen to us preach" (St. James, Hughes, Hunter, Dosier, Mac & Gaytoes all qualify)
 
My mother sent me a Chin Chow cartoon with the character talking into a microphone and the caption, "He who loves the sound of his own voice makes for a very poor audience".

Sounds like advice that the programming honchos need to hear at both KFYEYE and the FM TALKFEST. Time to open up the phonz... ya think?!? Sure beats infomercials on a Saturday night. sheesh!

This is exactly what makes 92.3 so unlistenable: why do I need to be lectured about how I'm supposed to feel about a news story? "Five things you need to know"? Really? According to who? "We Need To Talk...At You!" There are 5-year olds in day care who get treated with more courtesy. Give me 550 any day over all the condescension - and, remember folks: 92.3's best breaking news "coverage" lately is more soapbox time for their preachers. So, coverage of...what, exactly?

Yeah, because hearing Aunt Edna wax eloquent is much worse than having Kari constantly talk down to you like a baby. A flip back to hip-hop or to sports would be infinitely better than they've got now.
 
Well if it's any consolation to KTweetAR detractors, their license is also up for renewal on October 1st. Guess we'll have to put a U-Haul trailer on the back end of the Gremlin to schlep all the challenges to both KFWhyEye and 92~Three to the FCC in Washington D.C. But hey, the Nurse and I have nothing better to do while the Media Hut is on Summer break! (memo to self: take wheels to Mecham AMC for service)

Kooks or Perry Como? NBO or Lawrence Welk? Decisions, decisions... ???
Click to expand...

These past two weeks, sometimes listening all day long, I have heard Como and Welk maybe once apiece on KOY. They have a nice mix of classic and standard music and the only singer I hear too much is Sinatra. They could replace him with Dean Martin and I would be happy as a clam.
 
Dunno if we should add this one to the list: If My Vagina Was A Gun, as read Tuesday morning by Andrew Babinski on TNBO's show. It's just too damn funny to give to Uncle Charlie, so we'll pass. If you missed it, here's the poem: http://www.*************/Big-Government/2013/07/09/Abortion-record-poem-vagina (memo to self: those women pictured will probably be here for the State Fair in October)

lib talk 1480 has lots of new condom ads, what could kfwhyeye and koy get? (I hear Young begging for new ads) to fit their demographic? Funeral parlors? that who sponsors Welk on PBS Saturday night.
