Lex & Terry Question

Is anyone still listening? I decided to give them a chance this week and I have to say I find them very irritating. I have not chuckled even once. At least the Morning Edge started my day off with a few laughs. And no music at all REALLY sucks. The only person I know of that can pull that off is Russ Martin. I hope Jagger & Co. resurface in D/FW.

Im still listening, But I have always been a L&T Fan. Im glad they are back in town. I would have liked to have seen them on 105.3 to replace DLR. Just my opinion.

I quit listening to the Edge when they put these 2 clowns on here, what was Duane thinking when he did this?? It reminds me of the old Q102 days when they dumped Bo & Jim in favor of these 2 same idiots. So long KDGE!!!!!!

The Edge tried something like this a long time ago when they were at 94.5. I believe it was Stevens & Pruitt out of Houston. It was tragic. This is too.

A woman called in this week and asked their opinion on how to get along with her teen age step-daughters and their advice was to pray for a head on collision and a visit from the police in the middle of the night. Crap like that is NOT funny.
 
Do L&T mean terrible things for KDGE?

Lex and Terry's arrival on KDGE cannot be a good thing.
Apparently, KDGE's strongest ratings were in its music and its dayparting, not in the previous Morning Edge. I didn't know Jagger and Co. were doing so poorly.

Having a morning show that plays a fair amount of music requires that the music be a successful contributor to the station. And you'd think "duh"--shouldn't it be that way for all MUSIC stations?
Take K Rock for example, a station that was only kept alive by Howard Stern's huge ratings. People don't care about alternative radio in NYC.

Here in Dallas, there is a sizeable segment of the listening population who like KDGE for its music. So why then did they throw on a syndicated no-music morning show??

Especially one that pretty much sucks. Logic?

You damn right it isn't funny, it's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. GET RID OF THE ASSHOLES!!
 
KDGE's show ratings...

If I remember correctly, the Edge has it's highest ratings in a 24 hour period during the 12-1 "Flashback Cafe". That in itself should tell the PD how to start programming the station, but I'm a nobody who knows nuthin... so don't pay any attention to me...

The Jagger show variations, if I recall correctly, pulled pretty decent ratings... like 7th or 8th place... good enough to keep their jobs...

They just made the mistake of asking for more money when their contacts were up. Or that's the rumour anyway, until Jagger emails me...<P ID="signature">______________

Just another lame act trying to out do "Howard". When you can't be creative, and funny mention sex or harmful acts. Yup that'll bring'em running.

Because Clear Channel spent stupid money to steal these guys from Cox. Gotta put 'em somewhere... although the show works better in markets like Morgantown, WV...<P ID="signature">______________

They just plain stink, no way around it. I too gave it a week and found it to be almost as bad as DLR on Live.
