I would imagine everyone at CC is partying it up "Mad Men"-style right about now.

replacing Crummey with Ramsey?
- Thread starter indieradioguy
- Start date
Do you know this, or just guessing it? It was my guess as to what they'll do-- at least for now, test it out a bit. Ramsey in Crummey's shift, move Bohannan down to Ramsey's old timeslot.

Bohannon at 10pm? There's better hosts that don't have a presence (or a poor one) on Valley radio that would fit better in that slot. I'm sure Michael Smerconish would be glad to have a new clearance, even if it's 10pm. If not him, then grab Dennis Miller from that signal that can't be heard clearly in Chandler at night (960).

Too bad Ramsey cant be live in phoenix so we can get some phoenix callers on the show. I know I know then you would have to do something to the GOD known as the Beck Express LOL. OH No can't touch that haha.
Put the Luvable One on!!!
No Dave Ramsey! The trailer park listeners won't tune in, its Nascar happy hour at the saloon!
Miller would be good, Smerconish would be good.
Pony up some dough, and give Barry Markson a show, he won't do it, but it would be compelling radio.

Dave Ramsey--7-10, 7-10, 7-10, starting Monday (September 27).
Crummey and his producer spilled the beans in the last segment of tonight's show.
Still not live (I think Ramsey is live 11 AM-2 PM PT).
No mention yet of what will fill Ramsey's current 10 PM-1 AM slot on KT'R.

If KTAR doesn't pick up one or the other for 10pm, there is always hope that KFNX will grab one of the two shows when Dr. Laura leaves the air.
Legend City said:
Not a bad idea, but does KTAR really want to pay expensive local talent to compete against Coast To Coast AM?
It's a sad day because the KTAR brand was built on live and local radio over several decades. Sister station KIRO-FM in Seattle is local from 5am until 11pm, but they have the luxury to run syndication on a powerful 50,000 watt (daytime, at least) AM signal in KTTH.
Eric Stein said:
Had B'ville been able to acquire the CBS stations, they could've moved sports to one of the FM frequencies and run syndicated talk on 620 AM, leaving 92.3 FM to keep their focus live and local, like sister KIRO-FM Seattle.
Other than KGO San Francisco, I don't think there's a 24/7 live and local news/talker anywhere. If you can get 50-50 to 75-25 local to national, that's a good thing!

Don't forget 720 WGN in Chicago. Pretty sure they are still local 24/7, at least on weekdays and most of the weekends.
Of course, WGN is on a monster signal (it is a former "clear channel" station that can sometimes be heard in the valley) and is also consistently #1 or #2 in the ratings. Same goes for KGO out of San Francisco. News/talk 92.3 KTAR, on the other hand, can only be heard in the general vicinity of Phoenix and Maricopa County. In addition, I think Chicago and the San Francisco Bay area have a larger talent pool to choose from. There is definitely a big difference between the WGN's and KGO's of the world and the likes of our little local friend, KTAR. ;D

How could I have forgotten WGN! A great station, live and local 24/7 and a signal that blankets much of the country at night. Their major issue is demographics that skew way too old. They have a bigger commitment to local sports than most news/talk outlets. WGN has had the Cubs since 1958 and is also the home of the Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks.
As much as Phoenix has grown, it'll never be New York, LA or Chicago, the three mega markets.
Last night (Monday 09/27) I assume Ramsey's show was aired in the 7-10 PM slot,
however in the 10 PM hour on KT'R I heard what sounded like him also. I guess
he's now repeated from 10-1 (his old slot) until the MasterBlogger decides what
to do with both time periods.

Here here (to KT'R WOH-NOT to The Nurse and Doctor vacating the media Hut)! Or AGAIN, how about The Luvable One? It's not like we've had much of a chance to hear him lately with all the football games. At the very least make him one of the H's on the WOH. If none of the above works-what about Beck replays? Dave Ramsay is just painful to listen to.
What do some of you have against Bohannon?
There's not a lot of choice for night-time stuff. I doubt they'd bring Hendrie back, though it would be good for 10pm and on... Can't do Coast to Coast AM. What else? Midnight Trucking Radio Network?
Six hours of Dave Ramsey? As the Buckeye Boyz would exclaim: "Yikes!"

I don't have anything against Jim Bohannon's show (he's one of the few remaining moderate-leaning personalities on talk radio, the other good example would be Michael Smerconish). However, Smerconish's show has more energy and caller interaction (it may not matter here, where it wouldn't be airing live, but it does gives his show an advantage), which would work better on FM Talk radio. Smerconish would be a perfect lead-in for Bohannon on KTAR's late-night schedule.
What are the other choices? A Glenn Beck replay? John Gibson's radio show? There's enough hyper-partisan talk on the air at any time of the day.
There's always Clark Howard, but do they want to go back to the safe route that they took on 620 for many years?
Eric Stein said:
Clark Howard (live 1-4 PM ET) airs now on KayFuNN 1510 in the very 10 PM-1 AM
slot that we've been discussing. It would be a big bonus for the Clarkster if KT'R
could swipe him away from the giant 100 watts he has now on 1510.
What about Red Eye Radio with Doug McIntyre? The show just started in February. Might be a good fit for KTAR.
