Russ, your massive hype is really annoying, and it's only been most of
one day so far.
And what's even more annoying is the direction your news product
took this morning. After dial-hopping between Snooze/Talk 92/3,
KOOL 94.5, the lunatic on 55/FYI and Lumberyard 1440 (not on yet),
I tuned back to KT'R-FM to catch the 6:30 hard news block.
Hard news block. Yeah, right. :
Except for one short item buried at the end (just before Deputy Dan
at 6:39), it was all 2008 election hype! Where was the real news?
Good thing we didn't have floods, fires or illegal aliens invading the
nuke plant with pipe bombs, 'cause you wouldn't have heard about
it this morning on KT'R! But they found plenty of time to tell us all
about the 2008 election from twelve different angles and sidebars
(including Aunt Carlos).
There's other times during the morning news wheel you could have
run your hype. Dump the fluff--movie reviews and similar--but don't
gut your TOH and BOH hard news windows.
