The Buck Wilde Morning Show

Is this a real morning show or a 2010 version of "Tony Orlando & Dawn"? (Showing my age) One man and two women. That's it. Buck trying to be goofy and funny all the time, Jade the man hater, and DeDe is just throwed off. This show sucks! Still no news or spots. Come on K104. I know you can do better than this. Balance the show out at least and add another man.

We'll wait until the new P/D does something, and that wont't happen to Dec.1st I think.

They figured the kids would make them more money than 25-54 adults.
 
It's like they just threw something together just to fill the 6am-10am slot.

Hopefully George Cook will come up with some creative ideals. He programmed the old Hot 98.9 which I heard was the "100.3 Jamz" of Charleston, SC.

What kind of music was Hot 98.9?
 
I, personally, think the show has LOTS of potential. My big issue with the show is that they tend to come off like a "one-trick pony". It's like I know exactly what to expect. I'm never surprised at all.

The prank calls are tasteless to me. I think there is a line between funny and insulting someone's intelligence. Not to mention, there are too many of them during one show.

I think if they dropped Jade and brought in someone that knows how to express their opinions well, the show would sound better. I also think they could prep a little more for the show. From the sounds of it (to me), there is hardly any prep (if any) done.

Also, there are TOO MANY MIXES!
 
Actually, there's not enough mixing. I'd rather hear some turntable skills than a no talent broad bumping her gums and constantly man bashing...

Maybe it's just me, but I don't like mixes in the morning. I'd prefer to hear some intelligent conversation with a little music mixed in.

BTW, which "broad" has "no talent" to you?
 
I told ya what to expect from this morning show. I'm not saying he's a bad jock, but there needs to be better music programming (for the station as a whole not just this morning show), stronger personalities, and learning to leave the kids alone in the morning b/c they don't listen to radio for content (just music). K104 needs to go back to the formula that helped Skip Murphy become and remain #1 across all demos in the mornings. That is have intelligent conversation with personalities of substance.
 
Skip Murphy's show was informative as well as funny.
 
I have never been so disappointed with a radio hire than the bringing of Buck Wilde to K104. He is a terrible fit for the station and the DFW. He is more 106.1 than 104.5.

He is not funny or in-depth. I think the show would be better with just Jade and DeDe.

Please, please bring back Skip Cheatham. I gave Buck Wilde two months. I am done.

That's true, but Skip's show was broken down into 3 parts.

1. 5:00a - 6:00a: Gospel, inspiration and news recap from the previous night before.

2. 6:00a - 9:00a: Fun and laughter with news mixed in as well as "I Love School" to try to encourage the kids to do well. They also did a lot of phone calls with kids and parents on the way to school. This made it fun for the entire family.

3. 9:00a - 10:00a: Adult orientated music with local, national and "hood" news. They would bring in Diane from the MLK center to talk about what was going on in the neighborhood.

The chemistry that Skip Murphy and his morning team had was not just about Skip. The key players in that formula were Wig, Sam, Nannette and Chris. They felt like members of your community and not national "personalities." They talked about the places they went around town, the new restaurants in the area, the hot clubs in the area and the important issues here in DFW.

The missing piece in the Buck Wild show is that they aren't really relatable to DFW. I hear a lot of entertainment news about a lot of celebrities that DFW doesn't care about. Sure, they want to hear about the latest entertainment news, but DFW LOVES to hear about DFW. Not about something happening in LA, NYC or Miami. They have the wrong personalities to reiterate this. DeDe works 2 jobs and doesn't really have time to have a real social life. She does the same show twice a day. Jade probably has a social life, but no one wants to hear her talk about hanging out with the Cowboys and Mavericks trying to get a date.

If they took the same approach that Kidd Kraddock takes (which is what Skip Murphy did). They talk about what's going on in Dallas. The different parts of town, the sales that are at the department stores in town and the different events here in DFW (and Kidd is a national talent).

If they brought in a local "socialite", dropped Jade (or moved her) and got a real news person and someone that is actually funny, they might have a hit show.

I agree 100%. Also Buck Wilde needs to act his age and not like he is still in his 20s. He's been playing that shtick since the mid 1990s when he first came to Birmingham with WBHJ. It's alright to attempt to relate to your younger listeners, but don't imitate their antics because it isn't a "good look". The show has potential, but Buck has to realize DFW isn't Birmingham. Birmingham didn't have a choice, but DFW does so give them a more desirable, community-oriented alternative. Otherwise, they will tune them out...

You hit it right on the nail.

It's So simple. HE HAS NO PERSONALITY. All the segments in the world won't help that.

It's not about him not having a personality so much, it's the fact that he doesn't have the right team to make him look good.

Skip Murphy didn't do much but lead the team and he let the other stars shine. He was really friendly, but his voice was not the main one you heard during the show. The stars of that show were Nannette and Wig.

Does anyone know who put together the Buck Wilde show?
