Re: Tim and Willy take Pratt's place on KMLE

So the whole line of we are going in a more music intensive direction was just a bunch of bull.

I am happy for tim and willy but CBS is getting rid of talent just to get more talent. Tim and Willy for Pratt or Super Snake for Kid and Ruben. Smart move or stupid changes?
 
Re: Tim and Willy take Pratt's place on KMLE

Oh joy, another "wacky" DJ team.

How fresh and innovative. ::)
 
Re: Tim and Willy take Pratt's place on KMLE

Starting on a Thursday.....hmmm, wonder why? Guess the geniuses at Clear Channel must be kicking themselves in the ass once again. Welcome back Tim & Willy from the Buckeye Boyz!

Perhaps Dave and Stacy will be doing a farewell show on Mega, on Wednesday? Tim & Willy don't want to compete with that. Would you? ;D
 
Re: Tim and Willy take Pratt's place on KMLE

With all the stories of air talent being laid off and "budget cuts" its good to get News of people getting hired. Not a fan of their show (never heard it) but a fan of Morning Radio in general. Good luck guys.
 
Re: Tim and Willy take Pratt's place on KMLE

Remember that Tim and Willy tossed PHX to the crib to head to greener Pasteur's in Chicago. I was a big fan of there show then, but not now.

Pratt is the man, KMLE can kiss my a$$! What the station did to Pratt was uncalled for. Heck he had two appearances the following two days. Smart move KMLE!

[EDIT]

As for Pratt's future, I hope he heads to Talk Radio, he would excel there. He has some awesome pull with the community, think of the guests he can get on the show. It would be a great show. Just dont compete with the nearly Bald one. I really enjoy Barry's Show. Even tho todays show was very lack luster...

Merry Christmas everyone!

Please refresh my memory. I remember T&W from their Tucson days, but lost track after that.

Where were they most recently? It sounds like they were already on a PHX station before???
 
Re: Tim and Willy take Pratt's place on KMLE

I think I read in the Arizona Republic article that Tim & Willy signed a 2 year contract. Isn't that unusual, meaning telling exactly how long your contract is for?

Did KMLE save any $$$? T&W's bringing Andrea & Becky Lynn with them.

Can I propose this: KMLE wanted a true Country morning show? Country, while great music, isn't my thing so I've barely listened to Pratt & KMLE. T&W know Country and the Phoenix market.

Well, with all due respect... Pratt knows Phoenix better than anyone... and T&W had the same amount of country experience before originally coming to KMLE. Remember, Tim's career started at KDKB and Willy.D. Loon was a Brandmeier sidekick at the old KZZP... and their first morning show was at Y-95.

You don't need to know country (which today is nothing more than the pop music on the 70's & 80's) to do country. I think Pratt adapted just fine.

Re: Tim and Willy take Pratt's place on KMLE

With Pratt's background (format wise) being rock, alternative and in recent years country, I wonder where he'll show up next. KDKB? The Peak? Or will ClearChannel send it's morning show packing in favor of Pratt? Your thoughts?...anyone...anyone....?
 
Re: Tim and Willy take Pratt's place on KMLE

Any predictions on where Pratt will end up? Maybe the peak, but I don't think they'll pay his 700$$$ salary. Clear Channel won't pay that kind of money for one person. There's really no one else.
