"He's Back" on WGY

The crew at WGY loves Hendrie, so I'm sure they'd have no problem replacing C2C with him. I remember newscasters laughing when they started their news break after Hendrie.

I know when he moved his show from 7pm to 10pm, they accommodated the move.
 
They are dropping Rollye James' show. Hendrie will run 10p-1A on a 21 hour delay.

Like such a powerful signal would drop Coast to Coast. Clear Channel would probably bust in and say "Don't even THINK about it!"
 
a best of hendrie on weekends rather than
money news or dr. dean edell or infomercials.
air coast to coast whe it is new or recent.
dropping rollye is idiocy for them to do!

GAH! And just when she was starting to build an audience, too. I listen to her on XM, and a lot of WGY listeners are emailing her, pissed off. She addressed it at the top of the show, but didn't mention who it was taking over her slot. She said a "format change" and I thought she meant WGY was flipping!

Too bad they don't dump C2C. Noory is a painful listen.

Probably just a misspeak. WGY wouldn't flip. Rollye's phones are dominated by GY callers tonight.

Anyone else smell a cramdown from TRN here?
 
WGY is making a big mistake with Hendrie. I like many others now have xm in my car and a computer at home. I already listen to xm for both the am and pm drives and will just flip pc on to keep up with Rolleye in the house or xm when in the car. Phil Hendrie is very funny the first time you hear him but the endless repetition doesn't keep my attention and his West Coast personna is something I can't relate to. :

Wow.... this would surprise me. WGY is a Clear Channel station and Clear Channel owns Premier. I know CC has discouraged their stations from taking non-Premier programming when they can, especially Hendrie.

As for Rollye James, I gave it three months when she came on and just couldn't take it anymore. Now she is filling in on Coast to Coast AM on a lot of Sundays, and she is a different persona there. At least with Hendrie you know what you are gonna get. Obviously I am a Hendrie fan. Rollye just wasn't my cup of tea.

Their discouraging sure hasn't worked then, when you consider how many Clear Channel stations carry Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, and entire networks like ESPN Radio.
 
I loved Hendrie before he "retired". Now he's just an embodiment of what he despised before. Enough with the talk shtick, get back with what you are born to do Phil. JEEEEZ (as Phil would say :p)
 
ROLLYE JAMES HAS EAST COAST TIES;
SHE GOT MARRIED IN BENINGTON!
TRN=TRUCKERS RADIO NETWORK?
SHE IS TOPICAL & UNAFRAID TO TALK
ABOUT REAL LIFE HOME GROWN &
RELATED ISSUES LIKE OUR F-'D UP
FAMILY & REPROBATE COURT SYSTEMS
& THE RELATED DEPARTMENTS OF SELF
GENERATING REVENUE WHERE CHILD
SUPPORT & BEAT DEAD DADS ARE
OF CONCERN & WORRY!

SHE IS NOT A PRO/ANTI BUSH PERSON!

SHE DOES NOT TOW THE LINE FOR EITHER SIDE!

HENDRIE IS A CALIFORNICATED LIBERAL!

SAVAGE IS SIMILAR IN THAT HE IS UNLIKE
ANY OTHER TALKING HEAD ON THE RADIO!

A SHOW SUCH AS PH SHOULD BE A XM-SORT!

RJ & SAVAGE APPEAL TO BROADER AUDIENCES!

EVEN RECYCLED GHOST STORIES APPEAL TO
MORE PEOPLE THAN A GUY PLAYING V.O. GAMES!
 
I'm not sure I follow all the comments. You need to offer something unique during the off hours. Rolleye is different enough. Though his shtick is shameful, so is Savage. Hendrie is endless repetition and nonsense. Even he grew tired of it all if only for a brief couple of years.
