I Listened to Buddy again today

S

Skynet74

I only seem to listen in the car when I'm on my way to an appointment. But anyway.... I just wanted to throw in my two cents. Ron St. Pierre is an intelligent guy. He appears to have a good head on his shoulders. But I just don't think he needs to be teamed up with Buddy. It almost sounds odd. Even though I don't think Buddy is the firecracker that he once was, I still would rather hear him alone than teamed up with someone who sounds out of place being there. St. Pierre just sounds like he doesn't belong on the program. He's the square peg in Buddy's round hole. WPRO is a great station. It's clearly one of the best in this market. But they've got to tie up a few loose ends. Ron co-hosting with Buddy is one of them. Yeah I know they are pals and I'm confident that the pairing of the two is little more than two friends thinking it would be cool to host a show together. Unfortunately to my ears it just doesn't sound right.
 
There have been problems with your ears for too long!

The show sounds fine....I too listened today and did not hear anything of a problem and the show flowed very well.
 
Wknd,

I'll say this as to not offend the Board Editor, you appear to be in denial about the Buddy show. Everyone in the market including Bob Kerr from the ProJo is expressing that the show is not good radio, or interesting to listen to for more than an hour. Bob Kerr is asking when will Buddy show some of the energy and talent that he definitely posesses. You are about the only one who continues to insist the show is fine.

My personal opinion doesn't mean there is a problem with my ears any more than your personal opinion reflects a problem with your ears. It's simple. I don't like what I hear. I'm clearly not the only one. The end.

The show is not interesting.Period.I am 36,smack dab in the middle of the age demo they want to hit.I find it boring.not interesting and it is something that should just be on the weekend.It is not Mid day material by a long shot.
Matt Allen should do a 3 hour shift and Buddy for maybe 1 hour tops top satify the blue hairs in the state.
Buddy like Vinnie Paz is over rated.WPRO will be disapionted when the fall book comes out.I'm going going to gamble and say Imus will be on WPRO soon.
 
I do not feel the show has anything wrong with it....cannot use Bob Kerr as a good reference as there are many at the Pro-Jo are on the Buddy hunt, just like they are on the Carcieri hunt.
I do believe many people (ESPECIALLY those here) have old agendas (as seen by walter & sally's comments here and other threads), expectations that were unrealistic to begin with or the show wasn't going to be of interest for you to begin with no matter what he is talking about.
As a listener, I do not find anythig wrong with it & actually crack up when Buddy is being Buddy (some call it his vindictive side). There is currently NO ONE in the market save Dan Yorke who is actually calling out people on things (other than the sports shows) and while the unions have no place to talk on Dan's show, Buddy at least gives them some airtime-which I believe is a balance for the station. Like the unions or not...they do have their own points to get across (and for the record, I don't agree with them).
I wish at some point that any and all comments about Buddy remain with what is going on right now as opposed to what has happened in the past. We all know what he did in the past, that it probably was only the tip of the iceberg; but it is really not relevant to current circumstances.
 
Buddy was talking about the writers strike in Hollywood yesterday. I found that interesting. But the constant interjection by Ron gets annoying. It's not even that I don't enjoy what Ron has to say. I just don't happen to enjoy it during Buddy's show. Remove St. Pierre from the program and it will get better. Light a fire under Buddy's ass and it will get even better than that. Right now the energy level on the show is about a two on a scale of 1 to 10. It needs a spark. Buddy used to burn like a campfire. Now he burns like a match that is one small breeze away from going out.
 
I'll make my point about the Buddy Show for the last time, especially for Wknd who thinks there is an agenda. I like Buddy, and think his skill and ability as a talk host is second to none.....when he is on his game. My entire point is, that this show (or format) is not working. He is NOT on his game. He sounds like he is coming in the studio unprepared, and has done NO homework as to how he will run his show. How much can Wknd or anyone else hear about the trillions of restaurants and partys he visited last night, last weekend, etc. He is being paid beaucoup bucks....to bring it. He is nowhere near bringing it. He can beat up the Belo company, and John Simmons all he wants. He is not breaking news, or enlightening the audience about anything. He is hard to control, so it will interesting to see if his Program Director can reign him in to make it the Buddy Cianci Show that he is being paid dearly to conduct. I believe this relates to what is going on today. Not years, or decades ago.
 
I was wondering when the topics on Buddy's show will move past the man who registers his car in Mass, the Director of Protocol in city hall and (oh my, my mind went blank)...... Anyway, no matter what is going on in the news he seems to work in the holy trinity of repetitive issues. Where is the broad spectrum of topics he promised?

The show does have alot of current events.
What Buddy is doing right now,last night,tommarow,who saw Buddy somewhere a week ago.That's all I'm getting out of his show 90% of the time.
 
The vast majority of people here don't like Buddy's show. wknd92 seems to be sitting alone on her little stoop when it comes to people who enjoy what they are hearing. This should worry WPRO. If I were them I would take this as an early warning sign.
