KDKB No morning show still?

Wonder what the problem is in geting a new morning show for the station that plays everything that rocks, errr. well everything that ROCKED at one time or another! I am sure someone could get hired to do their morning show. Lots of syndicated offerings out there (Mancow, O&A) and I am sure even something local. Hmm maybe go totally cheap ass and broadcast the morning sickness on both KUPD and KDKB. Do something already
 
i'm glad they are taking their time.. would hate to see them repeat the past.
 
Not sure about the morning show , but Talbens been taken off the website.
 
They're going to have that voice, with that inflection...or whaever the heck he has going on there, on a high volume of spots? Yikes!
 
What I've heard is that the Sandusky GM (Chuck Artige or however you spell it) is the master of poor morning show decisions and is the one running KDKB into the ground. I also heard he's in his mid-70s? Why doesn't he retire? He's too old for that gig!

Hmmm, lets see. Dave Pratt, on KUPD for 2 decades. Followed by John Holmberg, who is doing well and will likely be there for years to come. Pretty poor morning shows. ::)

The fact is that is is difficult to find the talent needed to pull off a successful morning show. That doesnt mean its not out there, its just difficult to find.
 
And how long were Tim and Mark on KDKB? 17 or 18 years? And M&M in the AM on KSLX, while not a high profile morning show, seems to fit the format perfectly. It's a tough gig. KDKB's ratings are in the dumpster so they
have nothing to lose by taking their time and finding the right show.
It takes an investment of dollars and time to develop a successful morning show. The big companies are usually not willing to invest the time in a morning show. Clear Channel's two heritage morning shows, Tim and Willy, and Beth and Bill, were both at their respective stations prior to CC owning them. I doubt if CC would have ever let them develop on their own.
The real surprise is Adam Carolla. The guy has done nothing ratings-wise, and yet CBS is sticking with him. They must hear some potential for that show that I don't hear.

It's not difficult at all if you are willing to pay for it.

And you can pay through the nose for a sucky morning show.

Could it be Dick Dale from KOMP???????????

Nah, that might be the right move, which is something these guys haven't done it years. The truck need to be backed up for that mgt, real small market mentality. You hear they're even playing Tommy Tutone now? Once you program a rock station to women, you lose.

You could. But if you can't tell the difference between a good show and a poor one, then you shouldn't be in that job. It's not the crap shoot people make it out to be.

I suggest then that you send Joel Hollander your resume posthaste. CBS needs you.

Adam was, for the first time flying alone. That's what the problem with the show was. Love him or hate him Danny will improve the show dramatically.

Granted, but with The Peak and Mix also in the market and doing a better job at what KDKB is trying to do...its a no go.
