Well I guess that's because the people whose opinions matter (listeners and management) seem to think otherwise.

What's bad about it? Do you actually work in radio?

If so... give your argument some suppport. If not... keep your opinion in an arbitron diary.

I love it when people come on here and talk smack with their first post. Why don't you share with us whether or not you're in radio? Pot, kettle. And to answer your inevitable question, read my profile.

Going back to the subject of Matty, I just read the interview with him in this week's Improper. Is is just me, or does he come across as a pompous jerk? In reference to Howard, he said "he's acting like he's moving to satellite because of restrictions on his show, as if he's some great intellect. The guy does fart jokes."

You'd think somebody who's been in the game this long would have a clue, or at least some respect for the man who pioneered morning syndication. Perhaps he's just bitter because his syndication effort was a failure. Congratulations, Matty. You're the least worst morning show host in Boston. Here's to an early retirement.

Yes, I am in radio, in Boston. And I see you're not (unless you consider "hearing yourself talk" a qualification). It just annoys me when people (who aren't in the biz, and are obviously bitter about it) criticize those who are vastly successful, without offering any actual evidence or credibility to make such a claim.

I understand what you're saying about his Stern comments... maybe he does sound a little bitter because his attempt at syndication failed whereas Stern's... well, needless to say, was a HUGE success. BUT I do agree that much of Stern's appeal is his immaturity and "shock jock" style, though again, he's pushing the envelope, as Matty advocated in the interview.

Long story short -- maybe Matty is a hypocrit and maybe you don't like him, but I think his numbers and his longevity garner him at least a little respect... even from you.

-Which I most certainly do.

-Bitter? About not being treated like garbage for a ridiculously low salary? Yeah, I really miss the game. I gave radio a try. It's a disgusting business. I'm happy to follow the soap opera from the outside.

-Hey, I congratulated him.
