Dave Barber. Great format,crappy host

R

radioooaddict1

WPRO really has done a great job with the new format.
The 20 min. talk blocks are smooth.
Most had found the numerous news breaks and commercials
a pain in the ass.
So, with all these good things ,we have this CLUELESS HACK
Dave Barber...
Did you hear him speaking down to town Councilman Pitochelli
from Johnston? The reformer???
How about thinking John Caffees son Linc was always R.I.s Senator?
It took 5 years for Dan York to learn about this area.
5 years of Dave Barber??? Helen Glover is sounding PRETTY GOOD!!!

WPRO will keep this moron anyway. Here's the BIG chance for WHJJ to gain some numbers back.

Speaking of WHJJ they are running ann ID at night (Home for the Air America Radio network) they ran this ID when that's what they had on all day. Besides Randy Rhodes are they airing any other AA programming. Is AA still on the air as full time network?

I think it only applies Sat-Sun am, during which they do a few repeats(Franken Malloy et al.). Randi is the only "Air" show Mon-Friday.
 
RE: Dave Barber: Time will tell...

Any handicapping on how Barber will do in the ratings?
It sure would be interesting to compare your predictions with the eventual numbers, eh?

Yea,
I think time will tell Dave.
Listen to Matt Alens show on Saturday morning.
I know its a way for you to listen and learn
from the man who you and Cooke screwed...
Dan Yorke may also be able to help you.
 
OOPS. I've miscommunticated...

MY EARLIER POST:

ANGRY RETORT FROM RADIOADDICT1:
Yea,
I think time will tell Dave.
Listen to Matt Alens show on Saturday morning.
I know its a way for you to listen and learn from the man who you and Cooke screwed...Dan Yorke may also be able to help you.

GRAMMAR TIP:
That'd be "whom;" but I digress..

CLARIFICATION:
Oops! I've miscommunicated.
RadioAddict1's snipe suggests that he/she thinks I (IamAllEars) am The Anti-Christ Dave himself. MY mistake. I can see how my online nickname would suggest that inference, but I'm SURE not Barber. Just an amused observer. And GENUINELY eager to compare the eventual ratings with the early reviews posted here. Peace.

Yikes.

I don't work at a radio station.
'Never been anywhere near WRKO.
And I SWEAR...
I wasn't lurking on the grassy knoll that fateful afternoon in Dallas...

ALRIGHTY THEN...

Now that we've got THAT cleared up, back to the original question: PREDICTIONS?

When results come in for the radio ratings which are taken for 12 weeks beginning March 30, HOW WILL WPRO'S DAVE BARBER DO?

Who'd like to venture a guess?
It'd be fun to see whose date-and-timestamped handicap comes closest.

Any takers? <P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by IamAllEars on 03/27/06 10:51 PM.</FONT></P>

Hi, yes, but not on your question.
I have one. Do you work in the fallriver- somerset area?
You seem like a fascinating person. Do you have your
own show?
Thanks,
Changingtimes.
 
RE "Do you work in the fall river- somerset area?"

<< You seem like a fascinating person. Do you have your own show? >>

Well THAT'S a more cordial tone than we've heard from others here!

As I attempted to convey to angry young radioaddict1, I'm not on the radio. Just an amused observer, here in RI.
