Ken Levine and The Groz

W

WKomm

With the season winding down, I certainly hope Mariner announcer Ken Levine finds a new hobby. God Lord, he recently described a fly ball as a "perfect parabola". He refered to the Cleveland Indians as "Sons of the Wigwam." He uses EVERY baseball cliche many, many times. And then there's the voice ...

Ken - go back to writing/producing TV or even back to being Beaver Cleaver, will ya?

I really like 710 AM ... most of the time. But the other day Groz and his buddies started an in-depth, giggling bit on buck teeth and man boobs. After what seemed like an hour of yucking and hooting, I turned 710 off for the first time ever. Just speaking for me but it's hard to tolerate grown men laughing at the top of their lungs over painfully unfunny stuff. Great at a sports bar - torture in a car.

KIRO-AM? Please have your guys talk about SPORTS. And leave that silly stuff to a pajama party.
 
Sports talk is becoming more of a positioning statement than anything else.

Both 710 and KJR are talk stations first. They'd talk about anything if it would attract listeners. In fact in many markets, it's more about the personalities and less about sports. You see that alot with CC stations.

I think though they do it at their peril because it quickly becomes evident that despite an obvious belief on the part of the host that he has something to say outside of sports, many struggle just to be relevant in their own genre.
