Sue Hall

1

1069_KIFR

Is Sue Hall looking to leave the Wolf? Did anyone hear her today with Dave Sholin on 106.9 KFRC? Not only that, earlier this week, Katie Mason from MOViN was also sitting in with Dave Sholin. I know this is the process they are doing to try out a co-host for him. But it is interesting that as Sue was screwed by CBS, that she would consider coming back. Also that Katie would give up her own slot on MOViN to slide down the hallway to KFRC.

Between the two, my vote is for Sue Hall.
 
I heard that the wolf morning show was just too crowded with Gill, Marcus, Lebaron.......and Eddie - who's got people talking by the way!!!
and they didn't have room to expand Sue's role (she was doing traffice/weather) - The show's co-host, Lebaron, was doing traffic today.
Sue is too good to be simply weather and traffic - I hope she goes on air with KFRC.
 
she probably doesn't like country, she has been at 95.7 since max so she might be tired of country
 
Wrong, sfradio....word from the Wolf is Sue loves the pop Country mix. Makes sense...the station is targeted 25-54 female. Sue has actually been working for traffic.com all this time but was treated like a member of the morning show. Very classy move IMHO. Sue will now be the "new" morning sidekick for KFRC. I hope they had to pay out the nose to get her back. She deserves the big bucks.

Duke
 
Huh? simply amazing,,Whats next? will we be blessed with Cammy and her own show??? Or could they bring back Ron?? This station never ceases to amaze me,,Celeste Perry sure does radio well,, Lets not tamper with something that works!! I would much rather have candi Chamberlin than Sue Hall,,we just finished up 14 years of her midday show,,,time for change !! Kenny in Concord
 
So I take it this is official that Sue is Joining KFRC, I think its great as her and the Duke have known each other since Sue's first day at KFRC back in 1981, Good Luck to Sue.

I also Love Candi Chamberlain and her talents and would have loved to see her join the Duke aswell but from I understand Candi is over the radio thing after getting burned over and over again.

I have been told by Someone Who Knows that these are simply tryouts, and that "Sue is just one of the 'potential' Mrs. Sholins."

My source? A pretty good source.

You are correct DJ. Sue is one of several potential. There will be at least 2 more in the next week or 2.

Are they only looking at female co-hosts? No guys? I think the Duke, a guy AND a girl would make for a great show!
 
These decisions should have been made before The Duke hit the air! This reminds me of the SNAFU that took place at MOViN in Los Angeles with Rick Dees morning show. Talk about flying blind! If KFRC is going to use Sue Hall she should have her own show as should Candi! Or better yet put them on together, now that would be interesting I know I would love that!
 
Its amazing that everything has come togeather so slow after seeing what WCBS did quicky, mabae WCBS has started there process much sooner then anyone knows and had time to put the plan in place for day #1 to sound good.

I'm hoping for Sue Hall I would agree a great morning show would be the Duke, Sue and Candi, CBS will never give in on the Cash.

Like I said before, WCBS was still running oldies on their HD2, so all that needed to be done was re-image, fine tune and bring in jocks. But who knows why it's happening this way. Could be budget, could be a lot of reasons and apparently no one at CBS-SF wants to enlighten us...
 
Back to my question though...why go with the typical guy and a girl show. Why not have two guys and a girl? Or, just two guys?

Also, by only using jocks of the same generation, aren't they missing the boat on people in the 25-35 range who are looking for a great morning show. This music may be aimed at 35-54 but as someone a little younger than that, I LOVE the music but so far I don't see anyone from my generation on the air. A co-host in the younger demographic might be a bit better. I am not saying some 22 year old kid, but someone in their 30's. Look at the View as an example. Their success has been because there are multi-generational hosts...wouldn't the AM show benefit from something like that as well?

Good questions and I can agree somewhat as I worked an oldies format in my early 20's. My question would be, why can't older air talent work a format that plays music the older deejay would be more familiar with and would have more insights into? You see, it can be reversed. It's like saying that because a personality is in his or her 50's that what they have to say or offer is not relevant. Plenty of people in their 20's used to watch Johnny Carson and that can be said today for David Letterman who is about 60 now. Age doesn't always equate relevance. The talent just has to be up on everything that is going on in the world of these younger demos to be able to relate in most instances. I do agree that 2 men or a trio of 2 men and a woman, or really any combination can work; they just need to be talented and have good chemistry. Great talent transcends... That being said, most oldies’ or classic hits stations hire deejays from the era that their music covers because of the knowledge of that music that they have, and because they’re experienced and polished, as opposed to some of the younger talent, who wouldn’t have a clue as to how to do a talk-up on a piece of music from 1968 for example. Not that they couldn’t learn how to and not saying I agree with that reason, but it is a viable reason why.

I think the folks at CBS SF/KFRC will need the enlightening First. The music is fine. BUT Show content is non exsistant. Celeste is the only one who seems to be able to squeeze some in over the 15-20 sec intros, and she sounds rushed to me. Let her talk OK ! Great Voice and Very Bright.

The morning show is just dull, every co-host has just sounded so forced...I know, they are auditioning...but still, why not try and be yourself, not some cartoon. Is there some kind of management mindset in SF that everything should be packed in over the front of a song at high energy? HEY talk to me NOT at me Please. It all sounds so contrived, Dave Sholin deserves better than this.


The post about the age of the DJ's, the music, and younger folks wanting an AM show to listen to is correct. I'm in their demo, I remember when the music was new...I was in my late teens and early 20's, I still like the music, but I think I would like to be spoken to like a grownup. Not like someone who forgot to grow up. Stop doing bad impressions of JMF and Bobby Ocean. Not when the Originals are available.

Content, and the lack of it, seems to be the new KFRC's Problem, If budget $$ is the problem, then hire JMF to Image the damn thing, dump the talent (?) and just play the music. At least the stock holders will be happy.

I heard a liner today, (Good God who the hell is writing that stuff?) That said somthing like "Our techies were trying OR have been trying to figure out how to bring the spirt of KFRC Back"
Well Let me know when they GET IT figured out OK. Cause I don't think this is it. It may be the Call letters, But it is not the spirit.

The above, is just my opinion, and so is this. Don't Hire Talent, if your not going to let them be Talent.

Sorry Milk Guys...BUT Hey KFRC..."GOT PERSONALITIES?" Then lets here them!

That's actually a sensible suggestion. Since management is only letting the DJs talk about 15 seconds during the set, and NOT at ALL into the stop set - what's the point? "Maxwell" (John O'Hurley) got more airtime at Max-FM. We know FM radio is music intensive these days. But giving the DJs 30 seconds into the stop-set like the old KFRC (99.7), would hardly compromise the format. Otherwise, they might as well save the company some money, hire some clever writers, and make John Mack (or another great voice) the Maxwell of KFRC.

Sorry to be a "yes" man, but it's my opinion too, sorry to say.
 
Negative,,That station needs the DJs ,, and they are so greedy not to have live DJs !!!!!!!!!! As for a possible partner for the Dave Sholin, the only female DJ who know music is Candi Chamberlin!! Hiring Celeste Perry was a smart move ,, that lady has a voice for radio, what little time they let her talk is Ridiculous, that motormouth Cammy seemed to rule the air, for over a decade,,talk , talk ,talk, her and Ron P, amazing how things change so quickly, Wheres Jeff Dean? Theres a voice who would have been great for afternoon drive!! KFRC you seem to overlook some great talent,,, Are the Movin dancers collecting un. employment ins? Kenny in Concord
