At WLTW Karen Carson filled in for a vacationing Bill Buchner. Next thing you know Buchner was bounced for a female morning duo. This week on Star Mcgowan is on vacation and Samantha Stevens is filling in with Marit. When Sam Stevens said it's the two girls this week, I couldn't help but think how even though it's only meant for this week, if it goes well the suits at Cox might decide to make it permanent.

Contract? Seriously...Do they do 3 month deals at star?
If Reno had a contract they didn't let him work it out...Wasn't he only there for 3 or maybe 4 months?
I listened today for about 20 mins...Samantha reads liners just as good as McGowan. LOL
I'm gonna guess the ONLY person at star with a contract is Marit....That's why she can keep firing people and making psycho dmands.
By the way. Who voted them" number 1 in Connecticut" as the liner they read EVERY break this morning claims...Just wondering. Did they have an election in the star 99.9 lobby? Maybe a sales meeting? wish I could have voted....They might have had one LESS liner...LOL

Star and WEZN are the same station......
How about a little content. My morning commute is MY time. I want some news and info. and something ENTERTAINING. Make me laugh or at least smile. Make me THINK. I want a "friend" on the air. Somebody who sounds real and sincere. NOT a sing songey voice that has that FORCED smile sound telling me that once again they have been voted number one by Connecticut...Blah, blah, blah.
Now, before you hit me with the whole ratings story....Think.
They have at work listeners. Dentist offices and what not....
Arbitron asks you "What radio station are you hearing" NOT who do you like to listen to.
Just my opinion...

thank you caliv - i second that.
seriously - do i have to write out what an entertaining morning show is? how about what it ISN'T - liners, fake laughs, and the same traffic reports repeated every 3 minutes.

If you don't like what you are hearing then turn off the radio or go to satellite.. and many of the morning shows provide plenty of listener advise... you ever think maybe the traffic reports are the same because thats the normal rush hour traffic everyday?? You think about it because its not very hard to understand...
As for arbitron, yes it may be correct that it is not "who do you like to listen to" but the bottom line is who is getting the most listeners.. if you dont like that write a letter to arbitron rather than coming on here and bashing certain shows when people spend plenty of time trying to make their shows sound good!
There are plenty of stations and shows with a variety of programming that should fit your needs, if you dont find one that fits your liking... oh well go to satellite!

Changes coming to overnight probably
Rather than starting a new thread I'll post it here. This afternoon I hopped over to the star website to check the last-song directory to look up a song I liked, and I discovered that overnight host ( 3am-5) Matt Tansley had been yanked from the website. Obviously I don't know what their plans are, but I suspect that they're about to expand Delilah to cover the final two hours of the overnight. I could be wrong, but that's my prediction.
