Chris Booker and K-Rock

R

Guest
Chris Booker is back at WXRK ( 92.3 K-Rock )/ New York. Chris Booker will take over 2-7 pm slot .
 
I'm trying to figure out what the heck they're trying to do over at K-Rock. The execs themselves probably don't even know. Booker is the type of guy you would really have on a younger-leaning rock station, but here you have K-Rock going off in the classic rock direction.
 
I always liked Booker but really felt that he fit in when K-Rock at least sort of pretended to be a modern rock station. He used to slip in old Chili Peppers songs in place of the done-to-death Californication tracks.

Oh well, I guess we'll continue to have 2 and 1/2 classic rock stations in NY.
 
I have a feeling they will keep Booker there in the afternoon slot until the CBS/O&A contract is up....Then Booker will go to mornings and 92.3 will go CHR.
 
Booker is a Greyhound Bus Driver - He has to get out and look for all the people he has thrown under the bus to get where he is not.
 
... Will Pendarvis, Maze, Julie Slater, CRAZY cabbie, Mike Peer, Ben Harvey, Sloggo, Miss em all!
but not Booker!!! remember this is just IMHO

Astute observation, indeed. I believe you can expect that to happen around April.
 
Booker is a no talent! Why is he even on ANY radio station ,thanks for the info I will be removing 92.3 from my presets!Hes boring to listen to and keeps going from station to station just because he knows peoplle.
102.7 Blink FLOPPED,102.1 in philly didnt want him so hes back at krock .Whats that tell you?
EAT CROW BOOKER!
 
I missed a few....
Woody, Liquid Todd, Dead Air Dave, Demos, Maze, Cane
out of every Jock why Booker... IS 2-6pm now going to be afternoon talk time?
 
out of every Jock why Booker...

Good looks? Semi famous (and in some cases psycho) galpals? As seen on VH-1? Maybe...But most likely just a damn good agent. Round and Round we go...
 
Booker back in pm drive, Could Dan Mason have a surprise for the NY cluster with
Howard back at K-Rock for the Spring book?
 
Yea, and soon as the ground thaws, they are going to dig up Scott Muni for afternoons. Guess no one realizes Stern has a contract, and states at least once a day that he would never go back to terrestrial radio. Nice dream though. Sort of like making CBS FM what it used to be, just ain't gonna happen.

Now we get to hear Booker talk about himself and name-drop in between songs for 5 hours a day? We already were subjected to this no-talent. What did we do to deserve another dose of this crap? :'(
 
Why all the hatin'?
Booker's track record shows he has the chops to entertainingly handle just about everything.
(Just looking for something to vent about, kids? ;) )

Because he's a no-talent, hack that loves to include himself in every long-winded break. There is nothing "entertaining" about him.

His track record shows that he's been fired, a lot.
 
"His track record shows that he's been fired, a lot."

When?
CBS/Infinity moved him from XRK to NEW and back to XRK. And they kept him when they changed to Free-FM.
He left to to a morning show in an adjacent major market.
And maybe he had to leave there because he had the wrong girlfriend?
And now he's back to XRK as they try a major re-build.

(What is your major market track record?)
