If David Cruz has a show does anybody listen?

You aint kidding so boring!!! He belongs on npr!!!They got rid of a really good show the wall street journal wrap to put mr i am really bad at talk radio on the air. My theory as to why he is on the air.

It all started when the whole john and ken crack whore comment about whitney houston started and then a meeting came about and kfi now has one african american on the air but that wasnt enough they needed another latino so they put Dave kruz on ktlk and on kfi every sunday. Just a guess. Ya know usually cc knows what they are doing but with this guy i question there and robins judgement???

Even Geraldo is much better to listen to then dave kruz!!!

Ktlk just needs to go away. What a useless product they are!!! I will listen to kabc over them and that says alot!!!
 
How many people do you need listening? If Glen Beck has 200k people paying $10 a month, that is $20 million bucks a year. Not too bad. So if someone has a hard core group of listeners buying crap from a few sponsors then that's all it takes. Never heard Cruz however.
 
The funniest part is that he's in afternoon drive. And he replaced a hip, interesting financial show, which obviously had no place on K-Snooze, er K-Talk. Stephanie Miller and Randi Rhodes are the only things still worth listening to on that station. The rest of the programming wouldn't even be good weekend fodder in Des Moines.

Not in on-the-air radio in LA.

Let me guess. You are a heterosexual white male, a Republican, and over 40. Am I in the ballpark?

Does that mean that anyone not in the group you describe likes boring talk shows?

(Apparently not... because that time slot on KTLK is tied in share with XEWW and outcumed by KWKW and KWIZ-FM. To say nobody is listening would be engaging in hyperbole, but not a whole lot of hyperbole.)
 
Was wondering what Cruz's background was since he sounds like he's learning on the job! Pathetic in a #2 market!

Didn't know he had a show on KTLK until I read these posts; only heard him on KFI Sundays.

Has he been there awhile or is he a "Whitney" hire?

Whitney
 
It has nothing to do with his ideology. I dont agree with stephanie miller or randi rhodes much but they are very talented broadcasters. Same with rush whether you agree with him or not he is entertaining.

Two examples when the whole monica and bill saga was going on he did a bit of james carville and ken star to funny. And in this election cycle it is to funny when he calls obama president kardashian. There is absolutely nothing engaging or entertaining that would make one want to listen to dave cruz and why cc doesnt see that is beyond me???

Cruz is not engaging nor entertaining. Why on gods green earth robin gives him any airtime on kfi is beyond me. Kinda a dumb move if you ask me!!!
 
Gave him a listen on his KFI show. Yes he can be dry, but he's not as bad as everyone is making out. I've heard worse at KABC and KRLA, and for that matter even on KFI. He's a newsman doing a talk-show and when you're a very cut and dried news guy, you do a very cut and dried radio show. Not my cup of tea...
 
Then the question must be asked why on earth did cc give such a boring man a show 5 days a week on ktlk and on kfi???

The show they had on the 3-6 slot on ktlk was the wall street journal wrap n was a good show. Why did they screw things up???

It's Clear Channel LA, what else can be said. But you know, they do well in spite of themselves, so they're not too worried...
 
I must say cumulus is far far worse then clear channel. Look at kabc.In my hometown of louisville ky cumulus had a classic hits station on fm and a station on am then 1 day there here the next they are gone???

They did fairly well.Not the brightest peeps cumulus that is when it comes to radio.
 
Pray John & Ken don't get suspended again! That'll only open the door for more nascent minority psuedo talk show hosts to force their way into a weekend show! :D
