End of P&K????

it would seem as though this a long time coming. The last few months of the show, they seemed to be reigned back to a point that the show became a detriment to its ability to succede. I would be pissed if i had a tool like Gavin tinkiering with my show, to the point that it lost listenership. anyway, never thought i would care enough for a show that i would post about it.....

FINALLY the day has come.
The end of Pugs and Kelly!!!!
OOOOPS-has anyone checked the Dallas County Courthouse docket.
Has Kelly filed her lawsuit????
That's how she deals with these kind of issues. Pugs simply tags along.

What about Shemp? Did he get whacked as well? Even though Kelly did him wrong, he was involved in the first lawsuit.

Hey Pugs-time to hit the BEACH you fat B A S _ _ _ _!!!!

A list of possible shows that would work at mid-days on 105.3
1. The Mich Show
2. Ron and Don
3. Ken Goldberg
4. Tony Snow (yeah, I know he is dead, but he would still be better than P&K)

Ron & Don? Are you serious?

Slambang, what do you know? C'mon...
 
Ron and Don were pulling good numbers when they got S canned. They didn't have a lawsuit hanging over corporates head like P&K did, thats why P&K went from overnights to mid-days with the snap of a finger.
 
I loved P & K's show. I'm sad to see them go and very upset with the radio station for not saying anything. I even emailed Gavin to show my support of P & K. I think the least they could do is make a short statement to let the fans know what's going on.
 
I e-mailed a local news reporter who has an e-mail in to the program director. I assume he is talking about Gavin. He did say their program director is not exactly forthcoming. No joke!
 
It could be that Gavin and the talent are not commenting due to legal reasons. After all P&K are famous for lawsuits... AND BAD radio. ;D
 
Ohhh thats interesting about the email to a local news station. I would love for this to be brought up. Then maybe CBS will know that its a bad mistake. I love it.
 
Well, whatever is going on, maybe the station can't make up its mind. Because as of 2:45 this afternoon, P&K are back on the website. Nothing new is there, but they are back. They had disappeared on Friday, and their lineup spot (even as of about noon today) just said "Live 105.3 Programming." Now, it says P&K again.

SCRATCH THAT. I wonder if my browser just had an old copy of the site it kept bringing up, because when I went back again, it was gone. Ignore me, please!
 
What does it mean P&K are famous for lawsuits? What lawsuits did they file in the past?
 
Yup, ya didnt mess with Steve Dahl...that guy is a tool.
 
I wonder if someone called russ, If someone could get him to make gavin spin the wheel for not telling us whats going on. It would be a funny bit. LOL
 
Only reason P&K had a show was because they got it in a lawsuit settlement.

Ya know there's a bit of poetic justice behind all of this, although it always sucks to see someone lose a job. I've heard Pugs gloat on the air several times, about how he and Kelly blind-sided Ron and Don when they replaced that show at mid-days. Don was off on a cross-country charity bike ride when he got the word that their show was axed. Pugs seemed to get a certain satisfaction from telling that story.
Karma.
 
R&D, while not the best program at the time, had a decent audience that was loyal.
 
After Ron and Don were released. Pugs could wait to announce where they were working-Michigan or that they had no radio show.
How does it feel Pugs-You are out of work and now your old lady has to vover your fat butt!
Go hit the beach fat boy you are done in Dallas. Everyone knows you are the duo who sues!!!!

Could that be the reason no one is aying anything?

Kelly has already filed her lawsuit and there is hush order.
Do you think she used Frankel & Frankel to represent her?

FYI-Ron and Don have jobs in radio in Seattle doing the 3-6 PM shift.
Hey Pugs, they are still working in radio, be sure to tell us which Burger King you are working at.

Party on dudes!!!
 
The thing that doesn't make sense about the lawsuit is that the station still uses plugs with P and or K's voices. If someone no longer works for a company, can they still use their name/voice for advertisement? I agree that Pugs is a bafoon, ranting and raving and needing to be right about things that don't really matter. But I thought their format was unlike any other. Their 'realness' made them fun to listen to; their dependence on their listeners calling in with their own opinions made the show less about 'them' and more about a 'shared experience'. If they're really gone, I'll be sad. But I'll get a lot more work done during those hours without having them on. BDH just doesn't do it for me. We already have one daytime show that is testosterone-only, and I can take it in small doses. We don't need another.

I disagree with the person who said the station doesn't owe us an explanation or at least an acknowlegement with a 'we can't tell you yet'. There are a lot of loyal P&K listeners who may or may not stick around for a new format. But they (the listeners) need to feel respected and valued, and the station is missing the mark on that one.

In case you have already forgotten, they did the very same thing in Greggo's case. Everyone was very hush-hush about it, due to possible legal issues. So if there are potential legal issues with P&K, then of course no one will make an official statement.

And yes, they can still uses a hosts voice on a spot, if it was signed under contract. So even though P&K may be gone, the contract for the spot's run is still good. Unless of course that's one of P&K's lawsuit material.
