…she needs to be a little more focused on NYS politics. She could pick up some of the loss from Roney and Steve and Jackie but she will need to take control of her show a bit more. It takes time.
More of the same brilliance that has laid waste to local radio – this logic isn’t even mixing apples with oranges, it’s mixing apples with radiator hoses. Roney listeners are not, nor will they ever be in the same basket with those who tuned into Steve and Jackie. On a scale of 1-10 in degrees of separation, Roney was a 10 and Steve and Jackie a 1. Roney’s content was serious, compelling and attempted to turn around a dying system. His listeners wanted to know the who, how, why and where, something they couldn’t get on AM 590. Neither are they likely to be fooled by Kelly’s schtick. “…she needs to be a little more focused on NYS politics”? What does this sage think Dicker is doing and NO ONE is gonna out-Fred, Fred. As for Kelly being the voice of the people; which people would those be - Beyoncé fans? She has demonstrated she has very limited depth, just enough to play the oh so tired and untrue liberals vs. conservative game. Far from being genuine, these posts are merely PR sniglets lobbed to highlight non-existent qualities in an attempt to keep a gig. No, what radio needs, what America needs are those who are able and willing to shovel down below the surface and expose the lies and corruption that is killing everything in America, including radio. It’s not being done by any outlet locally. Unfortunately the one guy who could change all of that also lacks the vision to see what’s staring us in the face and all the time in the world ain’t gonna change that.
