In some markets so called sports stations are really guy talk stations. So having L&T on 1010XL is not so far fetched.
Back when Cox dismissed L&T from Rock 105, many of us questioned the logic of that decision. But Cox Radio was spot on. Ratings dipped at Rock 105 for awhile after L&T were gone but I think that had more to do with what followed sucked even more than L&T and let’s face it, the classic rock format in Jax seemed to have run its course.
I always thought L&T were overrated. When X102.9 came on the scene, they were solidly trounced. You have to wonder if L&T actually had more to do with Planet’s demise than anything else. Maybe a music intensive morning show would have been more competitive but we’ll never know.
As far as Greaseman and even Mancow for that matter, they may have just been on the wrong station in a tired format. Perhaps a guy talk/sports format would have been a better fit but talent costs money and well we know how that goes.
