THAT IS NOT WHAT I SAID, I did say that if you're a man you're less prone to relate because you are not the target audience, I did say if you were a soccer mom from Chelmsford you might be more inclined to relate to their banter. YOU a 31 year old radio professional, are clearly not a soccer mom, which is who they're targeting. Did I say it was a great show? no, however I did think that Justin's critique was missing the key element of his not being anywhere near the demo so it's not designed to be entertaining to him. However I also did say that I saw his points and respected his opinion. You dont have to like it or think it's a great show, Im a male in the 25-54 demo and although Loren and Wally are a show that targets the demo that im in, I just dont find it entertaining at all,to me it's like two old guys tlling Vaudeville style jokes,,,, but they've been there what? 25 years? they're obviously doing something right so my opinion doesn't mean that much. However to address your points Amy, you cant say "I cant listen to Mix in the morning anymore" because you've just outlined the show and many of it's elements. Point being; obviously you're listening often enough that you know what they do, and Lynn? she's been gone, what? almost five years now? but you're actually still listening.
That's the point im making.
