The End of Loren and Wally

[WMC2006]

On WROR.com, the only personalities now listed under DJs are Julie Devereaux and JayBeau Jones. So the L&W show has been wiped out but Bob Bronson has not been added yet. However, further down the main page, you can still find the link to the final L&W Show podcast.

Quite a few! Some in middays too!

Sports talk salaries in this town are insane.

Some of the hosts on 98.5 let it be known where they live. They are doing very well.

Anyone listen Monday morning? Listened in from 8:45 to 9:15. It was ok, nothing earth shattering, LBF and Brian seemed to be enjoying themselves with Bob. At one point, Bob mentioned that Beasley did a great job honoring his predecessors by setting up WROR's HD-2 channel as Men From Maine. He didn't actually mention L&W by name and I have no idea if he did earlier in the morning.

WROR HD2 is now all "Men From Maine" all the time, "The Bone" (classic hard rock) is gone.

I didn't see a reason for Beasley to keep "The Bone" on WROR HD2 after recently launching such a musically similar format on WBOS main channel and HD1, so I was wondering if something was going to happen to it.

I tuned in briefly from afar yesterday via stream and heard no DJ patter or mention of new host (9-9:30..doesn't show go till 10 or does he leave at 9?)

Wow there is a compelling format to run on a HD2, that will really have the audiophiles running out to buy HD radios

That 240 dollars a year I pay for Sat radio in my 2 daily drivers is worth every dime

The show goes until 10 but there is slightly less talk after 9.

It was like this even when both L&W were still on and the station was owned by Greater Media. I'd be driving to work and there'd be antics and banter till 9:00, at which time there'd be a station ID and a segue into (almost) continuous music, with a minimal amount of announcements - not humor or anything of interest - from Loren and/or Wally. Tom Doyle, Sue Cope, Hank Morse, Lungboy - it's like they weren't even there past 9:00.

So this is not anything new.

Made sense to me. The commute is over for most by 9, so no need for the funny stuff anymore. That last hour was a transition to the blander, more music-intensive midday sound.
