Apparently CC does not require its part-time (and some full-time) air personalities(?) to have any grasp of the English language. Jeff Picoro is a prime example. The Bengals are "Bingals". Just is "Jist". Interested is "Interstred". And when the stammering gets to be too much, he'll interject his favorite vocal crutches "Obviously" or "How about that". He must have majored in English at U of K. One more question: Can anyone in the 700 WLW Newsroom compose a SENTENCE?

If you want to hear horrible grammar - listen closely to any TV news person in the tri-state. Their middle school English teachers are rolling over in their graves.

Maybe. But I have to agree with the point about incomplete sentences by news people. This trend has driven me crazy for years. It sounds like they're just reading headlines. And I cringe everytime I hear a radio "professional" say things like "theirselves" or "I have went...." Sorry, but some of these communicators sound kind of uneducated at communicating.

That's what happens in today "cheapened" radio. The real communicators are in other professions earning more than $22,000 than WLW pays its news folks. And, by the way, I'm not listening any longer to any CC stations. Try ESPN radio on WMOH in Hamilton (if you live far enough north).
