Now here's some QUALITY local radio!

One comment to The Dallas Morning News wondered when Krok shortened his name.

Talk radio is a format for idiots.

From the bottom of my heart,

Given the choices of listening to Jon-David, Krok or 2 alley cats in heat on a hot tin roof, I'll take Jon-David. When 660 doesn't come in I choose the alley cats in heat.

At first glace that doesn't exactly sound like a ringing endorsement, but I could be wrong (!). It was obvious to me soon after his arrival that Krok is an insult to virtually anyone's intelligence. I suppose I may be in the minority but I consider Jon-David to be a caring person and a fascinating host much the same as my favorite local talk person, Charlie Jones. No offense intended to JDW but Charlie, being an overnight host, has greater latitude in his choice of subjects and that's appealing. To me the key is and always has been respect for the listener as a person, and they both exude that quality.
 
Chris Krok is a complete idiot! He wishes he was half the man that Joel Burns is. Krok is an insult to the radio industry. Can someone pull his numbers for afternoon drive (if he has any). I can't believe anyone would be hard up enough to listen to this ******.

I'll choose the alley cats, because while I might not like their mindless caterwauling at least they don't claim to speak for me.
 
Well....

At least in Market 5, I've gotten around Krok, and 2 cats in heat....

....It's a beginning.

JD....Absolutely no offense taken whatsoever. Charlie's great.

I've always wanted to do an all-night show for the exact reason you talk about....Although it's more about time, than latitude. We pretty much get to cover all the stuff we think is important, but there are times when I'd like to get deeper.

They both probably stutter less and don't repeat their content over and over and over. So is Krok a journalist, an entertainer, a stand-up comic or a talk show host?

Rodeo clown masquerading as populist crusader.
 
How come broadcasters get fired for saying "nappy ho" or saying blacks are naturally better athletes, but a guy like this keeps his job? I remember he also made some really cruel remarks about the Coppell mayor suicide-murder.

Bring back Ed Busch to 570 !
 
Been wondering the same thing Frank. Also wondering why KLIF's Ops Director Jeff Catlin doesn't know what his 'talent' is saying on-air and on which day of the week?

Also wondering why Cumulus Vice President and Market Manager Dan Bennett fired Mike Bacsik for tweeting "Congrats to all the dirty Mexicans in San Antonio." but lets Krok get away with crap like:

"Mexicans are fat and lazy like grackles" [12:39 AM 5/4/2010] or

"The police chief of Arlington is a scumbag, no let me take that back..he protects scumbags.." [6:00 PM 5/5/2010]

"I'm glad the 15 year old boy was shot and killed" (in reference to a Mexican child who was killed in a drug shootout) [6:08 PM 6/9/2010]

"..filthy dirty corrupt people in Keller ISD.. filthy dirty Keller..You are corrupt lying dirty cockroches. David Hensen & David Hadley - you are filthy dirty.." [9/14/2010]
