Hot 106 Morning Show Ratings

[Skynet74]

How are the ratings for the Morning Show on Hot 106? Can anybody tell me what place they are in? I'm curious as to how much the ratings have dipped since Howard Stern left the air. On a side note I've attached a streaming clip of today's Stern Show for those fans who don't get the show anymore since Howard left terrestrial radio. Link below

Somebody just posted the Top 5. What position is Hot?

On a related topic of the Hot 106 Morning Show, random question.

What rocket scientist made the decision to get rid of their local show that they replaced Stern with and go with this "Big Boy's Neighborhood"?

Apparently I am officially out of the HOT 106 target market since that new show totally turned me off to even flipping onto that channel in the morning.

There was a bit they called "Big Boys Phone Taps"...now, I like the JAMN 94.5 JamScam because it ends up being all in good fun, but the Big Boys version??? oh man. Aweful. Completely in bad taste. The call I heard was him basically swearing at some guy on the phone (beeps all over the place)...it was on the verge of harrassment.

I'm not going to be suprised when I see HOT take a nose dive on the next couple of books, but watch me be wrong and people will actually like that crap.

Hot106 hit a Goldmine when they hired Stern. You can't get better than that. Now stations are just left with garbage. I've heard plenty of people do phone pranks too. 9 out of 10 times they just completely suck. If the "Big Boy's Neighborhood" wants to play phone pranks, they would be better off playing tracks off a Jerky Boys CD. This new Big Boy radio show should just focus on what they are good at. Unfortunately from what I've read here that doesn't leave much promise.

Mornings at Hot 106 has never had much direction anyway. They have a history of alternating between whitebread radio hosts and Urban type hosts. First White... then black... then white... then black. It doesn't get any more White America than Matty from Kiss 108 and Howard Stern who have both been heard mornings on Hot 106. But then the station always chooses to go in the complete opposite direction with "Radio from The Hood." It appears that Hot106 is just plain confused. Are you an Urban Radio station or not? Do they even know?

I admit that I'm not a fan of the format. I haven't listened to the station since Stern's last day. There is definitely a market for the format. Not a single doubt about it. But it appears that they are having a very tough time finding a good morning show. How many morning hosts have they gone through since Stern? Howard has only been off the station for 4 years. I think they've gone through 3 or 4 morning shows since then! That definitely shows that there is a problem.
