Wow. This got personal. ;D
Sadly, it usually does whenever mdoyle posts here. So, personally, I doubt shakes is an uninformed as Mike Doyle claims.
As is often the case, cee is a true "voice of reason": It's only radio! No offense intended to you, The Voice of Reason...and I agree that the Wease story is pretty much ancient history. So, while everyone's busy talking about Wease, CMF and the Buzz...what about CHR?
Let me state upfront, I
don't have the ratings (so mdoyle would probably say that I don't know what I'm talking about, and, you know, he just might be right)...but from
prior postings, it seems little ol' Kiss 106.7 and former powerhouse 98PXY are in a virtual 12+ dead heat. This
would be astonishing...if it were not for how bad the PXY morning show has become (only my opinion, of course).
Is it just me, or has the PXY morning show grown completely irrelevant?
I have long since stopped listening to it, but every time I hear a promo (in other dayparts), I almost cannot believe how inane, unfunny and just plain lame the PXY morning show is. (OK, almost all Top 40 morning shows have their sophomoric moments, but PXY's seem never-ending from what I remember and based on hearing the promos.) Plus, it seems they're clueless and have grown out of touch with who's actually listening (which isn't all that surprising given their "longevity").
In contrast, the syndicated Elvis Duran and crew on Kiss are genuinely topical, likable and funny! What a concept: a CHR morning show that's ENTERTAINING!
And, just so no one thinks I'm doing CC's bidding (like star13 was for Entercom)...other dayparts on PXY aren't bad. Raphael, in particular, on nights, is solid. I think it's the morning show that's bringing the station down.
Now, go fight among yourselves...
