Morning Mess Done

[Rick Rose 2.0]

Rodney Ho is reporting on AJC.com that Star 94 kicks the Morning Mess to the curb this morning after today's show.

Once again proving the theory, never be the one who follows a legend be the one after that.

I was hanging out with a radio legend last night and he said they would be the next to go.

Doubly so when said legend moves up the dial.

What does that statement say about Tim Orff? He followed Stephen Duane Barnes (just got sued) and Dominic Joseph Zaccagnini.

That falls under the rule that states always follow a failure because even if you have a more music show and Denzel as a side kick, ATLBanker will still think you are more prepared and better than the Regular Guys.

So what was the problem with the mess? I listened to them hear in Indy and thought they were good. Did they just not fit in with the market, are they more of a midwestern show,,,, not really an adult friendly show when it was here, so I was surprised that Conservative Southern Star brought them on.

There are exceptions to that. In Washington, when Howard Stern left DC101, the Greaseman came in, and the station and its ratings didn't miss a beat.

no offfense...but are you are of your mind?
have you been to Atlanta? even seen it on Google Earth?

 

[CHRles]

I think part of the problem was indeed Star 94's format leaning too much on the adult side whereas the morning show had a younger/wilder/youthful feel to it.
Is Star still Talk-intensive in afternoons? Hows that working out for them?

Shucks, us folk here in this sleepy southern town of Atlanta, just can't adjust to the the big-city talents of The Mess. The same prank every hour on the 20's was more than most of us could handle. Plus I think a lot of us were just worn out by all of Marco's incessant appearances to build the fanbase. He was far to friendly for us Southerners.

I reckon more people like the poor man's Shannon, Jenn Hobby more that the original but hell what do we know. Even and Bob & Tom failed here and if they fail what chance does anyone else have to succeed here.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Yet All Access says that Star is searching for a morning show, meaning afternoons would remain talk intensive.

Good post...this calls for a big glass of sweet tea.

Which one? Rhubarb, or Andy from 88?

Any chance Star 94 may choose to keep Tripp West when his contract expires in May (I believe that is the date)? I know it has been stated that Star's not renewing Tripp's contract, but after hearing the syndicated Seacrest show from noon-3PM and with the departure of the Morning Mess today, I say keep Tripp around for another year at least and get things situated there. Also, could Star bring back Nudge in the mornings since it seems he got good feedback during his stint there when he filled in after S&V left?

 

[bclark71.]

clap-clap, clap, clap-clap-clap...

 

[jaxradidio]

Doubtful about Nudge. Like Ryan Seacrest (when he was here) and Steve & Vikki...once Star decides you're worthless and shows you the door, he's gone on to bigger and better things and isn't looking back. Hopefully the same will be true of Tripp.
