Glad to see expert analysis from Garrett has made it to another post. I guess we'll see who they're planning to put on the morning, but it can't be any worse than Steve Dale's fights with callers about bad information. I haven't heard that show in years, but I'm assuming it hasn't changed. If they want someone with local knowledge, they might have to go with someone with no prior radio experience.
Today I decided to flip over to 1340. Since they dropped the Herd I haven't listened outside of maybe a few minutes of the Williams & hyatt show. I did hear the announcer say "you thought we were going away. We're sticking around." and something about being macho or something. I only heard it once, but it had me rolling laughing. Why would a station advertise that it's implied they should give up. More power to them if they're going to fight head on with the new sports station. But why would you say "hey, we're still around" instead of just sticking to your slogan.
I'm not sure what is on 1340 at night, but I was driving in from New Mexico a few weeks ago and I usually listen to ESPN for their roundup of baseball action later at night. They were nowhere near sports on a sports station.
And is Tech Talk going to be just on 104.3 or will it still be on 950? You'd think if they move away from the AM station they'd put more of a fluent lineup in place. Glenn Beck and Dr. Laura may both be talk shows, but how many people are really listening to both? And I think they've got about a half hour of commercials crammed into the 5pm show with lots of weather inbetween. I do enjoy the Texas News report at about 5:20 on 950. It's a shame the best afternoon show is hard to pick up, Dennis Miller on 1420.
