I was hoping to let this matter rest. However, I see no such reference in bios on the NJ101.5 website or on Blizzard's own website.Both bios emphasize her career as a stand-up comedienne, beauty pageant participant and spokesmodel.If you enjoy her program, fine. Keep listening. My comment was about the industry practice of hiring inexperienced people with name recognition from some other field. Most don't do well and most don't last (before going back to their real jobs) but some do make it. We shall see what happens. But I see nothing in her bio describing experience relevant to the ability to listen and interact with callers or to give meaningful and valid advice. That doesn't mean she can't but he background does not show it.I see nothing in this discussing topic that required the use of insults and personal attacks.Starscream said:

For the record, Mary Walter had broadcast experience, yet did not have children and made it clear she had no intention of having kids. Yet she was doling out advice to parents and having topics about kids. As for the use of the word "troll" -http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=troll
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. And understand that you just got seriously pwn3d.
WPSJ, Host - "For Women Only"WPSJ, Host - "Baby Talk"You are seriously grasping at straws. The crux of your entire argument was "here we go again, it's Michelle Jerson" - implying that she was sorely underqualified to do a radio show and that the only reason that she was hired is because she was good looking.Point blank, she went through a month of auditions and tryouts on 101.5. The listening public VOTED FOR HER. Management decided she was the best candidate out of the four finalists.The whole idea of Dream Job was to get some new blood on the air, and the process was a trial by fire to see which person out of everyone who auditioned was the right fit.I have not seen a single complaint on these boards deriding Dena or her show. I DID see some comments about the "Dream Job" process, but nothing about her show.You are still missing the point - you have not listened to her show - you have admitted you won't listen and you will never listen - and therefore, you have no valid opinion on the matter.Even at this point, the Michelle Jerson comparison is lost. Wanna know how Millennium corrected that mistake? By hiring Tommy G, who has evolved into one of the better late night hosts in the region.fred flintstone said:
Sorry to disappoint you. Even she says she had no experience. She is under-qualified.And she was a contestant in a beauty contest. That speaks volumes about her.I listened. She really needs to work on her voice and delivery (nasal resonance and shallow breathing). Her producer seems to be keeping her moving and on point. She has potential. She could be good with a couple of years' experience. But she's Miss New Jersey. She's special - like Whoopi. God forbid she should go to a small market to get experience like regular people. Besides, her comments make it clear she's just checking out radio.
