And some wonder why Phoenix talk radio is so whitebread!
What exactly does that mean?
whitebread (n.) conventional, predictable, unimaginative, boring. (See Pat McBland, also see cookie-cutter Limbaugh clones)
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=whitebread
Though whitebread individuals are usually white, the term is not necessarily racial in meaning - the implication lies more with the blandness, predictability, and banality of plain white bread. Accordingly, "wonderbread" is often used as a synonym.
Ahh, White bread I get it.
Connie Webber, Ned Foster, Detour Dan, Aunt Carlos, Pat McBland, Ded and Heidi, Kid Stevens, Larry Gaydos, Larry King, Jim Bohannon, Michael Anthony, Paul Harvey, "Is It Raining Where You Are?" "What song gets stuck in your head?" "What are your favorite valley restaurants?" "Here's a topic for this 15 minute segment, tell me what you think, I won't express my opinion, just expect regurgitated answers from calls I solicit, wow, I get paid for this!" -- I suppose that fits pretty neatly into your definition of "white bread". Mostly old (over 50), All White folks, all predictable, all boring, all the time! That's KTAR in a nutshell. Yes, I know you're predictable response will be, "well, what about KFYI and their white hosts", great, but at least it's not predictable entirely... I know Pat McBland is going to do survey radio today where he will ask inconsequential, irrelevant to my life topics and solicit phone calls for 3 hours, much like Aunt Carlos, much like Gaydos, much like everyone else over there at Snewz 92-3.
If you're going to accuse one of being whitebread, you should accuse them all then, because frankly, talk radio in this market is pretty much all the same, KFYI is the only one that even attempts to have hosts that don't actively participate in the 1975 style of talk radio, aside from Joe Crummey who does it daily, but he's in LA, so Russ Hill doesn't consider him local even though he wins in that time slot.
