As a listener I am ...

Yay! You're a listener again!

(just messing with you)

No ----- still not listening. Been enjoying Adam Carolla and now Dancing with the Stars (why can't I see Adam doing that??). That has me laughing. Afternoons 93.9. Oh well. Sorry.

YOU LISTEN TO MOVIN' ?!? OMG, The Countryboard people are gonna get mad and start flaming you!! ;D
BTW, did you know you're a subject on one of the Countryboard threads???

 

[shirleyschmidt]

Why would I be a topic over there? I have nothing to do with those boards.


They say I am one hot lawyer.. so flame me baby. LOL. Nothing I have not weathered before.

Sad, isn't it. I do listen to 93.9, but afternoons only. Hey, I remember some of those songs.

Radiobill,

As a listener I am sure that does not matter.

Why is the fact Shawn is a good cheerleader for the station important? Because he brings in listeners, gets people wanting to hear more, and because he gets people involved in the station. When listeners feel a kin to someone they become more of a part of the station and become the stations advocates (AKA - Word of mouth). The reason for a local station is the local feel. Shawn can make that happen with one arm tied behind his back.

What Shawn does for a station he works at you can't put advertising dollars too. If you inspire him and he is wanting to take something on, get out of his way. He is a power house.

Attend something like stagecoach and run into Shawn Parr, there's a great chance you will walk away wanting to know more about KKGO if you never knew the station was there. He can be lots of fun and drum up excitement even in the most uninspired people.

If you don't understand the value of having someone like that on board, then I can't really explain it to you.

Oh, my, shirleyschmidt...... how ironic is this? You've now been put in a position where you are defending Shawn Parr.

Go figure.......... I'm just sayin'

You semi lost me there. Never have I said that Shawn Parr was not a good radio personality. I see nothing ironic about my posts. What am I missing?

I have said I don't think he is a morning guy no matter how much he wishes to be one. Personally, I don't hang with the man nor would I, but I have never said anything different than he is a talent. Sure there would be things about his show I would change, and I am sure that if Cook does more than music, gets involved with the actual talent and show, he will do the same.

Oh, dear.... I guess when I saw this post

What I hear is that a lot of people love the PD and personally I think she is doing a great job. I have seen a number of writings on boards (including this one) talking about what a great job she is doing for KKGO as she really has only been at it for a few months now. Though I understand she and the morning host do not get along. (which makes me wonder about your post). My guess is he would also not listen to anything the current PD and/or show producer would suggest. Not even sure he would listen to the station owner's suggestions. (The previous PD was good too and still is there in another capacity.

Not sure if he would listen to any PD. Plus, I would think that anyone who oversees his show needs to have a balance of control and a balance of freedom to it. I think Shawn can be choked if someone rides him too much which is not good and I think if he is left on his own he will do things that no one wants to hear and that causes any station trouble.

Shawn's voice is booming at that hour and just not right for a morning show slot. His energy, which he does have a lot of, sounds like he has had 5 coffees before he starts his shift. People are not awake enough for that at 6 am. His following seems to be dwindling from what I have been told in the last few months. People are getting tired of hearing him talk about himself, women's breasts and golf. Timing is not so hot. Interview prep has been sucking. Even Shawn supporters have agreed with some of this stuff right on this board.

As you point out country music listeners are more conservative than say a KISS FM crowd, by far. Knowing that then you have to ask why Shawn keeps bringing up sexual innuendos during his show if that is the case. I just don't think he is right for the morning show slot. A "talent" well I might agree with but I am not even sure it's radio he wants. Doesn't he always try to dabble in TV?

I must have gotten the idea that you didn't care too much for him........ sorry. My bad. :

Please don't confuse caring for someone and just pointing out they have some talent. They are not the same.

When I saw the birthday posts I was thinking exactly what you wrote.

Wonder if Vegas as betting odds on that.
