L&T will be doing two or three Saturday appearances on the Fan starting in June. It will be an irregular schedule as in that same timeframe the guys have appearances booked in places that end in 'Ville and/or 'Town.
Sounds like a pretty busy month for L&T. Mmmmm, maybe Jackson
ville or Gaines
ville, FL. Could be Ashe
ville, NC or Morgan
town, WV, markets #46, #81, #159 and #176 respectively. It's hard to tell from your cryptic statement but I gather we should see how a commitment in any of those places might preclude an appearance in Market #5. Then again, being on the Fan isn't great exposure either, and yes, I'm being facetious. Sort of.
Peter, I understand one thing. You're doing your best to promote the guys and maybe the show works well in some places around the country. I'd like to see some numbers that might back that up, because they just didn't work in D/FW. Do they deserve the morning show on 105.3? I guess that depends on one's perception of "last-ditch" attempt, whether it's related to the duo or the doomed [frequency].
Ordinarily I stay away from morning show critiques but this thread has prompted me to make an exception. From what I can see, my feelings about L&T don't seem to differ too much from a lot of the people on this board. I gave them numerous chances on random days at random times over the span of a few months and I found them boring. Make that tired and boring, whether the subject was of the supposed general interest genre or they were zeroing in on sports, it barely held my interest. To me the discussion was generally too slow-paced and absent of any building suspense. Nothing major to begin with, and frequently no clear-cut ending to the "bits," if they could even be called that. The way I see it, there's just not much payoff for the time invested by the listener.
This is an opinion piece, with no offense intended toward you, but you've surely got your work cut out for you. The list of L&T's former markets is much more impressive that their current line-up.
) for four hours from 9am-1pm from CBS' facility, not our studios here in the CC building. For those not familiar, our's is a talk show and already contains sports content the amount of which depends on what's going on in the sports world.
