I wish this board was more than an idiot's view

[LVRadioguy]

It's sad how the Nevada radio board seems to be nothing but the view of an obsessed KXNT fan. Is there anything more to radio in this town?

Why do I feel like a Neanderthal in a Geico commercial.

I've gotta say, I'm not in love with your tone right now.

Seriously, I have to agree. I used to check this board daily, but now it's just once or twice a week. It just ain't worth it.

I completely agree. It's kinda sad. I came from a market that had much livelier conversations on RI. Some were A Arthurs, but most werent. Sadly, this market doesnt have alot of massive buzz right now.

Hey Nostradamus, let's hear about what's going to make 07 big rather than making broad generalized statements.

Thanks.

Hey Poor Richard: How about you put down the sniper rifle and keep it light. Thanks.

I don't listen to the radio for music....I have 37 CD's full of my favorite tunes for that...Since I listen for about 7 hours a day while delivering the mail, I want some entertaining "talk' radio....there is little in Las Vegas...my old favorite was Glenn Beck, who used to be very funny and entertaining but smart and thoughtful too....Since he started his TV show on MSNBC, he's gotten more serious and "issue-orientated" and isn't that fun anymore...My favorites are Jack Armstrong & Joe Getty out of Sacramento...you can download their previous day's show at either KNEW or KSTE's websites...they're funny, informative and play well off each other....As I have written in the past, I was on KORK-Las Vegas back in the late 70's-early 80's when "personality radio" was still in vogue- Red McIlvaine, Walt Reno, (before he was "Country") Chuck Manning...It took humor and intelligence to be on the air then...I wasn't that great, but I had fun on the air and with the callers...It seems to take 2 people to make this work today, and even then the hosts I've heard here in Las Vegas are simply amateurish...Allan Stock was on the radio in Santa Rosa where I worked which is a small market not even heard in San Francisco and the "quality" was what you'd expect from small-town radio...But Vegas shouldn't be small-time radio anymore...With all the entertainment available here, it should be a big-time radio player...The "sports-talk" stations are geared to 18 year olds and seemingly pound one subject for hours...try KNBR from 4-7pm and hear interesting sports talk...I'm not trying to be the Bay Area guy putting down Vegas radio, but the quality issue is what bothers me. I can only compare it to what I've been listening to for 20 years. Vegas radio in the 70's and 80's was pretty good quality for what was then a small market...What happened?...Will "personality radio" ever come back or are the listeners too immature or dense to understand humor and play-on-words nowadays?..I want Vegas radio to be entertaining and informative and "local" really...I'd listen 7 hours a day if it was. I think the corporations and syndication have killed any originality in local radio here.
