Ideally, who/what would you like to hear replacing Steve LeVeille's broadcasts?

I enjoyed listening to Dean the other night. I haven't been listening to WBZ late nights all that much lately. Has Dean filled in other times? But please dear god don't let it be Brad Huckins, uh Bradley Jay
 
with TV going news at 4:30AM might WBZ Radio start their newscasts at 4 am instead of 5 am. In NYC isnt WCBS (except Baseball) and WINS 24 news and KNX in LA 24 hr news?
 
I could see WBZ-1030 simulcasting the first portion (4:30-5 A.M., or 4-5 A.M. if it's expanded) of WBZ-4's early-morning news block.

BTW, with WFXT-25 expanding gtheir early-morning news block to begin at 4 A.M,., I think WBZ-4 and WCVB-5 may do so within the next few weeks, with WHDH-7 following suit on August 15th, after the Olympics end (since I believe the overnight replay of NBC's pr8me-time Olympic coverage will continue until 5 A.M. EDT).

Dean Johnson would work the best over Morgan or Bradley Jay.

Soooooo...You like to hear a guy talk about himself and his past writing accomplishments for the globe and herald all night long? Gotcha!
 
I could only stomach a very short time listening to 'BZ this morning, & I heard B Jay make a passing hint to a caller about filling the spot permanently once he becomes more "refined"... ::)

If there are "radio gods" up there someplace... please...NO...

I'll even take a steady diet of Morgan or syndicated Jon Grayson over the nonsense that spews from B Jay 's convoluted mind. ::)
 
I'd like to see the job go to Pat Demaris if he wants it. I'd also like to see them let JJ Wright fill in and see if he can handle a talk show. He'd be perfect for overnights.
 
Pat Demaris would be a good choice I suppose - does he do any light topics, or is he all politics? I like a varied diet...well, actually I would prefer all light stuff.

I still say Phil Hendrie would be a good move.
 
I though she was going to continue as part of the new "Boston Public Radio Show" that will be in the 12-2p slot (and rerun later...) Maybe she won't be on as often but I think she'll still be part of it

my guess is she's going to enjoy a long hot summer in the adirondacks and then be one of a number of contributors on BPR
 
Schedule is unclear but it appears Dean is on Thurs,Fri., Mon, Tues.

Leaders uncertain but Morgan IMO is frontrunning for a few reasons that have nothing to do with his broadcasting talents (per se). I would think he'd improve his chances if his conversational skills were pumped up and he reduced his reliance on guests. I know it's a long 5 hours but he knows a lot of stuff he could do a lot of things.
Please no appearances from those entrepreneurs from that other station.

The poster who wanted Desmaris: do you listen to his fill-in work? The guy takes a wedge issue and just milks it for hours. It's always the same thing. WBZ overnight isn't the Midnight Truckers Radio Network where he'd (Pat) feel more at home.

I could "get on board" with Morgan more IF he would not play his favorites so much. There are a select few callers that IMO bring next to nothing to the show, yet he will give them 18-20 minutes, even hold them over breaks, and if that isn't enough will permit them to call multiple times during the week. ::)

In my gut I feel that 'BZ may cease to be the mighty beacon in the night that it once was.

Oh for the days of Larry Glick... :)
 
I would think that Morgan White, Jr. is the leading candidate, given that the overnight show on WBZ-1030 has traditionally (except in times of "transcendent" news events) been "light" and entertaining and not as "hard" or political as the station's evening talk shows.

However, whoever gets the job on a full-time basis might not be determined until September.
