Some quick respones here to your statements:
>>>The people here are always slamming WGST, <<<
Because the station is a complete and total disaster and has been for years. Do you not agree? Tell us why not!
>>>but I listen them all the time and really enjoy Rush Limbaugh's show.<<<
Hardly an endorsement of the station to say that you listen to Limbaugh! Do you think for a second Rush and Premiere would not want to be on WSB if they could, instead of where they are? The station's problem is that they've never parlayed the cume they get from Rush into some TSL for the rest of the station. I wonder if anyone in that place knows what "cume" and "TSL" are, or if they need those phrases explained to them. I have heard that Bloomquist is a smart guy, and he's made some very positive moves by getting rid of Pete Davis and others...yet Kimmer and Hughes remain....what gives?
>>> When Tom Hughes has contests for prizes the phone's busy and they
> have callers<<<
All that means is that there are 5-10 octogenarians in this town who know that if they dial a certain number at a certain time, they might get something for free. Listen to the ages of the "winners" and you'll know what I mean. Hughes's show is completely and totally DEAD and has been that way for many years.
>>>that respond and it's been over a year since I was able to get through and that was only because I called before the question was asked. <<<
See above. They have only 5 call-in lines. You do the math.
>>> I must admit Kimmer is pretty lame and can't beat Clark
Howard. <<<
So you're defending a station... that has a host in afternoon drive who even you think is "lame". Did you know that WGST has a chance to get the Hannity show in 2001 and passed so they could keep Kimmer? Look at the Winter book to see the results of THAT decision.
>>>If someone is telling a joke Kimmer has heard (but not necessarily this listener) he cuts in and ruins the joke.<<
Because in Kimmer's mind, he always has to be the one to deliver the punch line. If he had a real producer to work with him, instead of some unfunny flunkie reading live spots, maybe he'd be coached out of that annoying habit.
>>>He's not really funny and works awfully hard to be likable. The Larry from Hiram is sometimes funny, maybe not as consistently funny as Gossett's Newsmaker calls.<<<
I think that anyone who actually considered Jim Gossett to be even remotely funny should be placed in a mental health facility. But that's just me.
>>> I did like Denny Schaffer's taking on the AJC when they attack Governor Perdue of doing what was necessary to attract the Kia plant when they took advantage of the same offer plus more. Never heard Boortz expose or address this
and because he avoided it lost a lot of respect for him.<<<
Denny is doing exactly what he's supposed to be doing...but he'll never win against Boortz. Ever. I'm still scratching my head and wondering why he left a very high-profile and secure gig in Cincinnatti to come here and get his ass kicked every day by a 6 to 1 margin. I'm sure he was promised the world...because that's how the vile scum in the BOD operate....To each his own I guess.
