EFR Show Officially hired for FreeFM

E

elguapo

Looks like they are doing something right. Caught a little bit of their show last night and they announced they would be on every Saturday night. They are even on the FreeFM website already.

I thought they sounded funny and relaxed and THEY ARE LOCAL! Kudos to FreeFM for bring in a live and local show. Way to go EFR show!
 
Never cared much for Strawberry, I have heard them a few times on FreeFM and they sound good. Maybe Wild was holding him down. I have to assume they are on board to replace the TRAIN WRECK adam carollla and Danny. I will guess that this show is canclled after the next full book (late march I think). If they don't bring in O & A in the morning or JV and Elvis then EFR will be the obvious choice.... seems like they may be tops on the list.

Getting rid of Carolla would not be a local decision.
 
Great Job to the EF'R team! the days of being underrated and unappreciated our over. jump on the bandwagon or get run down with the rest.
 
Why wouldn't it be a local decision? It's not to say Corolla would be off in every market, just SF...

Because Free FM is a national format and Carolla is the West Coast morning guy. Bumping him off his second biggest market would basically kill that show. They are not paying that talent that much to just work in LA.

Also, if you did not notice, most Free FM advertising is based around Carolla. They run his podcasts during breaks throughout the day. He voices most of the talent reads at that station.

Sorry, I understand you do not work in radio and love the Dog House and think everything centers around them and other random former KYLD folks. No, it just does not work that way.

Also, Strawberry is on from 5-9 on Saturdays. What's a 60 second cost there? My guess would be $40.
 
Sorry Doug... I was just sharing an opinon that they might be securing local show. I know it wouldn't be a local desicon to Axe Adam.... his ratings are bad everywhere though. I would assume that FreeFm can't afford to Keep trying him out. The other obvious choice to feel is seat would be the O and A show. This would be a re-roadcast though. I guess Free NY has thought about sydicating them Nation wide!

Will See.....
 
I was just asking a question and it had nothing to do with the Dog House, Doug. I just wanted an answer, not an attack...

I don't even listen to Free-FM period--just wanted to know why Corolla couldn't be axed by the SF management. Your first two paragraphs would have sufficed.

I'm sorry for the nasty response on that paragraph.

It is just annoying when, no matter what, there are a few fans of the Dog House, Strawberry, Country, CHR, or Oldies here, that whenever a format, or even a shift seems like it might become available, those fans pile on about how their favorite is coming, while not understanding even the basics of the radio industry.

You do not need to be a rock scientist to know if you have a show that ruled a market, it might be smart to put that show on in that market.

Okay, but it needs to be the correct format. Movin is not. Alice is not. Pulling the rug out from the West Coast morning Free FM show is not at this time.
 
Thanks DougR! I agree we need to give a chance to FreeFm and their mornings...... Thanks for your continued discussion and sorry if I sounded like a Jerk. Sometimes passion or deep commitment to a radio host can come across wrong.
 
It seems to me and most people here that for FreeFM to do ANYTHING ratings wise and become viable in the market, Live & Local is the way to go.

I don't see why CBS doesn't see this when you think about the ad dollars that could be brought in...I mean thats what its all about anyway...advertising. With the Doghouse and Strawberry/EFR show, you have 2 bay area proven ratings getters. Way more interesting than the RadioChick in my opinion.
