It's the Zackster on Monday morning!

i can't wait to see what he's like. Its going to take a lot ot pull me away from Larry and Eric.
 
This guy does not have a prayer. CBS will not give him the necessary time needed for a market newcomer to really grab an audience in this town. Bert, TRG, Boortz, Star, etc.... Where exactly is his audience going to come from?
 
I listened on my way to work this morning, and take into consideration that was a modest 20 minute drive, and I heard Denzil more than Zakk. They had two traffic reports, Zack read a piece about the superbowl (yawn), and my time listening ended with some woman reading news. Boring, but it's the first day.

I still wish him good luck, but I missed listening to TRG this morning. :p
 
I wish Zackster well... Although Why would anyone listen to Dave? I sure dont have any reason...Rock on Regular Guys.
 
I tuned in for a few minutes and actually thought Zack was a stunt guy doing a funny voice. But no! That's the host and that's his voice! Sounded kinda like a young Gabby Hayes to me (that's a terrible comparison, but I can't think of anything else close).

Agreed. This show is DOA.
 
yeah they are 6-9am so I listened to about 10 mins... Zak's voice is a little queeny.

You might as well have Bob "The Queen" in the mornings

If you're wondering why we never see any PDs or GMs posting on this site....

You're right. Unduly harsh on my part. Just my initial impression, but not reasonable upon review.
He's been in town for two months and been off the air for over a year, yet he started out really slow this morning. One hopes he was just easing into the pool rather than doing a cannonball. Who knows.

I think he will be out by April 2009. Then again, I predicted TRG were toast and would never come back in 2004. In addition, I had the Pats winning the Super Bowl, now I've got Moose and Rocco helping me find my checkbook.
 
k well i guess the show pretty much blew any hopes of dave going more alt. i knew it wasnt likely but was still kinda hoping.

Weren't people saying he was going to bring a more rock edge to the station? I hope he gets more of an edge in the coming weeks than I've seen in his first two days. I'm still giving him the benefit of the doubt, but I quickly got bored and flipped over to TRG this morning.
 
I listened for about 5 minutes and realized I hated his voice and truly felt like I was listening to a chick station...not that there's anything wrong with them...but it's not me. So....yeah..I'm hoping for a quick and plainless death.
 
This show is nothing short of atrocious and its got nothing to do with it only being his first week. His voice is thin and grating (someone on this board said he sounded more like the wacky side-kick and that's true), he's extraordinarily bland, and the comedy bits are small-market and hokey. This was a horrible call on the part of management and people at CBS have to be wondering who, in Atlanta, is responsible. My advice to Zakk: Stop reminding people what show they're listening to. You're not doing the station any favors.
