Nick Cannon Out At 92.3 Now?

[Mac Daddy]

Heard Nick talking this morning about his recent health problem and according to his Doctor he is overworked and needs to slow down. He then said that tomorrow he has a "major announcement that will effect me and you"...

Could Cannon be leaving Now? I hope so.

I'd say get rid of the whole weekday on air crew minus the mix show DJ'S.

That's a very ignorant comment. There is more to a radio program than "sitting down". He doesn't just "sit down" at 6am and start talking. A lot of them start at 4-4:30am, preparing the show.

Does that mean they're ready to hire me... NOW?

I think Nick does his show out of California, which means he's hitting the air at 3 in the morning.

Good, he should be out. Give it to someone who has worked their ass off in the radio business and understands the ins and outs of entertaining and holding an audience. I'm sick of Hollywood/famous for some reason people being handed a radio show in market #1 like it is no big deal.

-Nick Cannon
-Whoopi
-Ru Paul
-Dennis Miller
-Gov. Patterson
-David Lee Roth

And there are more on the list. I was at CBS NY one day and saw in the conference room a "seminar" with the morning show (Nick Cannon) and consultant. I could only read the whiteboard from where I was sitting, but it was a radio 101 class being taught... to the guy who has never done radio before but is now hosting the morning show in market #1. That was all I needed to see to realize that these moves will never work. It's not as easy as it looks.

The equivalent would be to put someone on the nightly news that has never done news before. Or to send a person off the street to climb a 900' tower and replace the beacon. It isn't rocket science, but there is a method to radio. And it does take practice to get it right. Howard Stern wasn't "Howard Stern" right away. Neither was Imus, Rush or any of them. Sure, there were elements of personality in place, but it took time for everything to gel. And time to learn what works and what doesn't on a smaller scale.

Radio needs to revive the farm system, or it's as dead as the Mets. Same problem too, a team with no prospects.

PS- You can rag on Elvis Duran all you want, but at the end of the day, the guy knows and understands radio. That's why he's still there and beating the pants off Cannon.

 

[TimeIsTight]

Does that mean they're ready to hire me... NOW? Cheesy

Let's hope they do !

But even if they do I wouldn't make any long term plans.

With PD Dom Theodore's recent exit, and Cannon making excuses toward following him out the door, we may be seeing the beginning of a trend.

With all the rumors, and they are just that....rumors, circulating that CBS may flip "Now" to an AM format those staffers who may have the best shot at finding a more secure alternate gig may be bolting from a ship about to sink.

Keep an eye on how the potential sales of WBLS and WFME are going for signals on what's happening at 92.3. CBS is very likely to respond if either of those stations goes to sports talk, and 92.3 is the likely new CBS sports FM.

Get ready for Sportsradio The FAN....660 AM & 92.3 FM. It's gonna happen eventually!

It's official, Nicks last day is today.

Hinckley has a write-up on Cannon's departure:
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertai...rns-article-1.1024143?localLinksEnabled=false

Note that Cannon will continue hosting the syndicated "Cannon's Countdown" show, which - format flip notwithstanding - will continue being heard on 92.3...

Maybe im not in radio but what does sitting down in a radio station and standing on a stage make you tired...

I remember when David Lee Roth bragged during his old "92.3 Free-FM" morning show that he was always "standing up" in the studio during the show.

His show barely lasted four months. Go figure.

Does this mean his no-talent female co-host who should be reading traffic reports in market #100-something is also leaving?

Good god, that woman is cancer to the ears.

I loved how Howard Stern COMPLETELY ignored her a few weeks ago when Cannon interviewed Stern on the air. ;D He wouldn't even acknowledge her despite her multiple desperate attempts to wedge herself into the interview! It was great.

Nikki was much better, but she moved on to greener pastures

 

[DJ Mo]

I'm probably cheaper to hire than Nick Cannon was (and maybe a cheaper Music/Program Director to hire all-in-one).
I was born in Chinatown & have family living up there, so I can move up here if I really wanted to.
Just need the right opportunity.

Heard a few details about Nick Cannon's medical condition.
That's pretty crazy for a 31-year-old.
I'm also 31, but don't have any medical issues other than a mild stomach bug at the moment.
I wish him the best of luck. Mariah should comfort him just fine.

I'd hardly call News12 Traffic a greener pasture.

I listen to Nick's show. It is horrible!
