Sping 2007 Arbitron

I think briskethead is the one who needs to leave Mayhem. Him and all his pompousity. Could someone actually be more self-absorbed? I liked the show this week without him on it.
 
I liked Dimino and Cellini in the afternoon, but the show suffered from having two very northeastern sounding guys with very similar looks at the world. To me, that is why Buck and John (which has never been my cup of tea) always managed to hold onto a decent audience against them. There was no other place for those home grown sports fans who don't want to be told about their home teams by "outsiders" or "Yankees" etc.

Those problems would exist less in the morning where the sports end of the equation is not as hard core as the afternoon. However, while the two of them can be very funny, can Dimino stop pontificating long enough to keep a morning show consistenly entertaining? I'm not sure.

I know that some of Bell's act is getting old, but he is a genuine talent and perhaps putting new talent around him might make more sense and freshen him up a bit.
 
I love it when nicknames I give people stick, Thanks RTibbs.

History Lesson: In 2000, the Zone had Imus in AM drive, The Bottom Line (Domino and Cellini) in middays and Mayhem in the PM with Beau Bach, Brisket and Mike Bell. When I-man left, Mayhem moved to AM and Bottom Line moved to PM. Then Cellini left for one reason or another (failing marriage, looking to do something else, eye lift? who knows) and Domino was paired with Chris Cotter and Chuck Oliver. The show was horrible, Domino seemed out of place especially in early January when all Oliver wanted to do was talk Auburn football. Along this time, the Stews were on nights, when the signal reduced, you couldn't hear them, maybe that's why Ryan felt he had to scream all the time. Eventually, the Stews moved to mid days. When Cotter went to NYC, the Big Show as dissolved. Then the Stews moved to PM drive and Cellini came back but this time to AM drive on the already crowded Brisket Breakfast Bash. Domino was moved to 10a-1p and hosted a show in St. Louis, he still does too.

Domino and Cellini worked very well together. The two Italian boys talked "The Godfather," growing up in big cities, neighborhood kids, music they listened to and once in a while, sports. If you listen to them alone you can hear that they like working together and would be an ideal morning team on 929 Radio Atlanta.
 
Except the fact Neil that they never managed to have ratings success.
They did filla niche, but they never managed to put up ratings numbers like the Stews or the local leaders Buck and Kincade.
Is that not what this is all about? Ratings?
