"IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT.....

....like Christ-mas. Ev-reee-where you go. Take a look at the 8-9-5. Is any-one there alive. With not a sin-gle list-en-er to show." (sing along everyone!)

Yes, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Today, the TW can't figure out what to talk about. So, he declared he may start talking about other stuff, like Dave Ramsey. Because he can't get any calls talking about sports. Here at the X-Files, not that we know anything about this talk stuff, can imagine it's tough looking at a telephone with no one calling. It must really mess with your head. There you are on stage. Looking at the telephone and not a line blinking. Then you listen and you don't hear commercials. And then the ratings come out. And then you realize that the holidays are almost here and since Mix changed format what station is the obvious choice for all holiday music. And you realize it's Stoopertalk. You realize it's all upside to go all Christmas. And then the panic sets in. Yeah. No calls must really mess with your head.

:eek:
 
I know I will not be the first to say this..but I also know I won't be the last.

Considering how much you dislike 96.5..how is it you can make yourself listen in such great detail? If there is a hatchet..bury it dude.
 
36 posts now from this kid and every one deals with 96.5. Enough, please WE GET IT. WE KNOW YOU DONT LIKE ANDY AND HIS CREW. Are you hoping by blitzing this board that Andy will respond to you on air? So what? With their low numbers, who in the hell is going to hear it, BUT YOU? You sound like a smart guy Midwest, what station do you like?
 
And, are there pictures of this hot GM that you have mentioned?
 
watch out mr. xfiles...the gang that prefers to talk about what-used-to-be doesn't like your entertaining rants.
i do, and i entertained by watching the fall of 96.5. not that i personally dislike TW, but seeing the 2AGs gets messed with again literally puts a smile on my face.
so keep it up - good job. i'll look forward to the forthcoming finale.
 
It's a valid question that nobody on this board has ever had the guts to answer.

Why do you all listen to radio stations you don't like?

Mancow sucked. He was trying to rip off Howard Stern and Don Imus and did neither very well. I tried for a week to listen and then stopped. Simple, really. I didn't even post about it..I just stopped listening.

Try it sometime.
 
Mancow should have stuck with his Morning Madhouse format. His Limbaugh/Stern/Imus act isn't getting him ratings in the few markets his show is still aired.
 
Great question. I think people "like" to "hate", if thats possible. People hated Howard Cosell but watched and listened anyway. When you're in show business, I think its OK if people are talking about you, good or bad. Its when no one says anything about you that may signal its time to worry. But, please Mr Midwest, you went overboard there guy. EVERY post banged on Andy or 96.5.

I've even taken my share of rips on here and I haven't been on the air in this town since 01. The only problem I have with guys dealin' out the crap is doing it hiding behind a stupid screen name. Isnt that pretty cowardly?

agreed. bring back Turd, Freak, Freak's Niece, Brian the Whipping Boy, etc. that format was waaaaay better than what his "new" format turned out to be. i listed nostalgically for many weeks and then suddenly realized i was enjoying crap.

Even with ADD, I found his show hard to follow. It has the air of a big inside joke. That aside, there was a recent bit that centered around Marissa being date raped... rape is funny how? Oh yeah, shock value. I get it. ::) It still wasn't entertaining.

It doesn't help Mancow's cause any that TRN is an abominable network provider, either.

in 1999 'cow did the same skit only it was broadcast. the girl side kick at the time was called "freak's niece" and 'cow set the whole thing up to sound like a recorded rape from the outside of a room. again he had his "jerry's final thought" relative morality nonsense at the end. hearing that he's doing the same stuff is sad. he did have a great show for a good long run, and when he took over Q101 in chicago it was a huge deal - the talk of the city, for better or worse. anyway, i predict he'll end up losing all of the side kicks and going solo as the next conservative talker. he's filled in for savage at least once or twice.
