Jake Underwood on WHK

He's ok. He doesn't have the aggressiveness of Bob Frantz. That reminds me of the switchover from actor Leo Gorcey (as "Slip Mahoney") in The Bowery Boys films to Stanley Clements (as "Duke Coveleskie") in 1956.
Same thing.
 
I am currently out of town and have not had a chance to listen yet. Does he take calls from listeners? That was one thing about Bob that annoyed me. He would often say he was going to take calls, but rarely did.
 
I listened to the first hour this morning. He seems rather bland. He got Seth involved in the conversation moreso than ever Bob did, not sure if that will be the norm.
 
Initially, it was Seth worried about slipping in the parking lot while getting to his car after the show. Then about a mishap Seth had on a treadmill years ago. Then about poll numbers for Sherrod Brown and Amy Acton. Not sure what else. I turned it off shortly after that.

AM 1420 The Answer Replaces Bob Frantz with Jake Underwood

"I'm from here, and I have a passion for this area, and I have a passion for the truth."

"I have lived in Media County my entire life." By "Media County", do they mean Medina County? We have no "Media County".
Whenever simple mistakes like this happen, I, often, begin to wonder about the accuracy of the whole piece, although in this case, it seems to be ok.

Or did he not take calls because none, or few, were calling in with on topic points to make?

Did you get that from the linked article? It says Medina.

“I’m not a national guy. I’m from here,” said Underwood. “Let me get that out of the way … I love this area. I have lived in Medina County my entire life. Brunswick, I went to Cloverleaf. People don’t claim Cloverleaf. I do, because I love it here.

It's interesting how more than one person/group doesn't get it exactly correct. Bob Frantz's show, and now Jake Underwood's show airs from 9:00 am until 11:45 am when Bill O'Reilly's 15 minute segment comes on. To be even more exact, the local show begins at 9:06 am, after news, weather, traffic and commercials and runs until 11:45 am.
