David, Glenn, ussr, et al... I'm sure you all know I'm a fan of AAA and I am happy that LA has a AAA station again. They've been on for 15 days now and they are probably searching for talent, etc.
Well, they have a "forum" of sorts on the website...had it since Day One. It got some posts ... maybe 15 posts per day and after a week the # of posts tapered off to maybe 5-7 per day. But not today. Today the forum was invaded by trolls....
Remember KYSR Star 98.7's morning show Jamie (White), Jack, and Stench?
Since the show was canned by 98.7, they've had a podcast with maybe a 1000 or so subscribers (for a fee). Well, on a podcast (maybe yesterday) Stench mentioned the new station The Sound and recommended it. Like locusts they swarmed in and there are maybe 100+ posts since this morning from these people (there might be around 20 or so different people, not 100 different ppl). In just about every post they are wanting The Sound to hire Jamie, Jack, and Stench (JJS) as a morning show. Thes folks say they like the music on The Sound, a few are from out of town and listen to The Sound stream, but those who are local to SoCal had no idea about the station until it was recommended to them on the JJS podcast. So they like the music but are passionate about JJS and are willing to give up the music for 4 hours of talk in the AM drive time. Yeh just what the station needs. Aside from the fact it would be hard to conceive Bonneville having a personality such as Jamie White on their airwaves in LA, do you think Bonneville would <gasp!!>
hire them or have a morning show like Mark & Brian, or even like Kevin & Bean. Cripes I hope not. Since I can't be objective about it, do you think it would benefit Bonneville to have a morning team that has a following? Or have any type of talk show in AM drive? What impact if any on potential ratings would that have?
I sure hope they don't taint it with talk. :
