How Bad is the Whicker Show on Simon?????

I mentioned this on another thread, but decided it deserves its own special place. The Whicker show on Simon is positively the worst I have ever heard!!!!! The totally pointless and inane ramblings of Whicker and the others on that morning show will drive you crazy if you listen for more than 5 minutes. Honestly, isn't there someone from Entercom that understands how bad it is???? I was looking at Simon's ratings the other day and it's painfully obvious in the ratings that that show ain't cutting it. I'm sure Whicker is a very nice guy, with a nice family, but he's BORING! To me the whole premise of SIMON is to be a juke box. I think that's what they should be in AM Drive, as well. They would save money and it's more in line with what the station is trying to do. Leave the talking to people who have SOMETHING to say. :-[
 
I gotta think there's something personal here...

The Whicker show is the ONLY show that has made me actually laugh. I mean LAUGH. Not smile, or think "that's cute". Yes they do talk about nothing too much. that part can go, but when it's funny it really is funny.

Are you going for the gig??
 
:mad: I gotta agree with Mask Man..Emptycom needs to do something with that show..Here's one for ya..Which is worse...Whacker or Bob and Leslie Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haha he eh eh eh
 
Nothing personal in any way, shape, or form. Don't know him or anyone on that morning show. I just know that whenever I have tried to listen I've nearly busted my finger trying to get to a different station. Plus, I have seen their ratings and wonder how long they'll wait to change it. I've never been even mildly amused by anything I've heard there. :-\
 
Don't think I'm especially smart, just know what I think is funny and what is boring. Strictly an opinion and I've heard others say the same.
 
I hate morning shows that talk *all* morning with nothing to say, or no personality to fill the nothingness. At the same time, i hate morning shows that play a mix of music and talk. They pull me between wanting all music and all talk, and that's annoying.

Almost all morning shows that go on and on about nothing for four hours suck. The general rule should be, If you ramble about nothing, and your voices/personality can't make up for the lack of true conversation, you shouldn't be on the radio. For the record, the only morning show I've ever heard that gets away with constantly rambling on and on with no dirrrection is out on KLLC in California. Now, that show is a train wreck, but their unique style is what makes the show. Most NC morning shows do not have a true style of their own [WDCG and WNKS, perhaps]
 
TWO THINGS:

THE WICKER SHOW IS A HELL OF A LOT BETTER THAN BOB CAMBELL!! AND CHRIS AND CHRIS HALF THE TIME!

and, Maskman is so totally disgruntled! No air talent is good enough. Ok, go get on the air and show everybody how it's done. Til then, shaddap.
 
Excuse me, but I think I'm entitled to my opinion. I never said Bob and Leslie were any good. However, on another thread I did list several local Personalities that I think are talented. They included Jack Murphy (who I personally can't stand), Rod Davis on WMAG (doesn't talk just to be talking and always sounds professional), Bill Flynn on WMAG (Yes, he's sappy, but a pro through and through), Chris and Chris (at least they sound intelligent), Angie Ward of WTQR (once again, a true pro). It's unfair to say I think "no air talent is good enough". These boards are here for me to express my thoughts and for open discussion. Sounds like I might have hit a nerve with Salezclozer. Are you threatened by differing opinons? Simon must be your product.
 
I agree, Wicker's Show is dreadful and the hell of it is, he is really a nice guy. I understand Julie K is bailing out and will leave in just a few days. That will leave Wicker and Skip the prize guy and I think Skip is a total waste of skin! I think Wicker has talent but just look at what he has been given to work with.
 
Used to catch Wiker when he was on wrvq in Virginia and it sucked. Wicker's a nice guy, I just wish he would say something funny. I agree with n-guy, with better people to work with, maybe he could have a decent show.
 
You know, you guys might be right. It might be the other people around him. I truly have nothing against the guy. I've heard he's a good guy, but man, they've got to do something. Maybe he could tell them to quit talking.
 
AH-HA! They are going to that "Movin'" format (?). It's the new new "Jammin' Oldies" for the new new millenium.

You heard it here first. Whicker in the morning on Movin 98.7 Fm.
 
Gotta chime in here. I've never liked 98.7's morning show. It sounds like they're aiming at a much younger audience than they should be. Kinda reminds me of high school.
 
WELL well well. Now they got rid of that [EDIT] who was in there. Maybe now they'll get it together??? :eek:


[EDIT-profanity]
 
the question was "how bad is the wicker show?"

very bad. and i'm rooting for them. i would love to see them beat that bore flynn or that pompous murphy, but they just keep rollin' along waaayyy behind the pack.
