Rush Radio Hires New Morning Show Host

Name certainly doesn't roll of the tongue....especially for some of the country folk that will be listening but I'll be interested to hear him.
 
Hmm sounds llike a change in direction from what Flynn and Furr were doing. Maybe CC realized a different slant was needed after all. Will be interesting to hear what he has to say. Maybe it won't be as antagonistic as the rest of the day......nah, what am I saying! This IS CC we're talking about after all. ;D
 
If he has a damn yankees voice and attitude, he won`t be a success on talk radio down here in the heart of Dixieland!! Listeners won`t be able to relate to him! How about somebody local???
 
Hello???!!!!! GTGO did you ever hear Bill Flynn? He certainly did NOT have a southern sound. None of the conservative talk show hosts I've heard have any kind of accent. Most professional radio people don't.
 
Dial up KDKA 1020 tonight after 6pm, he'll be on . He does his research on topics. Well read and and does a good show. Make sure to listen at 830pm for Dimitri Twitter. You should be able to get KDKA after sundown unless the WBZ IBOC crud comes through
 
Dimitri is pretty talented...and if I recall correctly, more "libertarian"* than conservative.

He also worked at WTAE/1250 in Pgh, and did the morning show not long ago at CC's WWVA/1170 Wheeling WV, so he's done a morning show at a CC station. (I think he was gone basically due to budget cuts.)

He's been doing weekends at KDKA for about 2-3 years.

Interesting.

As for the name, I suspect he'll use his first name more than his last. IIRC, he's done that most of his talk radio career.

* - I don't know if that's "small l" libertarian or "capital L" Libertarian, a la Neal Boortz. Who, by the way, is very popular in the southern U.S...
 
I have to say I've enjoyed listening to Rush in the morning. Particularly this one day when before I turned on the radio there was this liberal caller who thinks businesses are greedy and want to keep the money they can use to hire someone. A female business owner said there's no money stashed away somewhere. She can't afford to pay herself!

Sure, I could turn Rush on in the afternoon if I happened to be at home, but I don't.
 
I looked up this new guy and he sounds interesting. Will be cool to have a bonified Libertarian journalist in our market. We need some Libertarian views on the radio.

That's exactly why I'm not for tax cuts for the rich. These smaller business owners aren't making over $250,000 a year. They can only dream of that kind of money. It's the fat greedy bankers, mortgage lenders, and corporate officers who will continue to receive those cuts and they ain't doin' a thing for middle-class Americans who need jobs.
 
Rush 94.5 lost my respect long ago when they picked up that crazy idiot from Florida- "The Snitt Show". Worst radio that I have ever heard! Take a very cranky, chain-smoking brooklyn New York sounding wise/dumb ass and give him a radio show. Smart. Very Smart-LOL.

Ape, its been a while since I've listened to Imus, but I don't remember him sounding like he was from Brooklyn. I always thought he was some what of a smart ass, but I've never noticed a Brooklyn accent. Of course I don't hear that well any more, guess its from too many years playing top 40 on AM! Maybe Santa will bring me a new hearing aid. Happy holidays!
