Matt Allen is the only host I've never had to turn off. He never is annoying. He's the only one that isn't.

Seekonk Sally said:How many of those "new" advertisers are trade to cover The Bud-Eye's deal ? Tasca, Gilmore, Venda?
Sally
Seekonk 'RONZO' ! Lol!
I did listen TO Chris and heard all the same stuff about Reed that Buddy & Ron have been saying for weeks. What does Chris Young being a live wire have to do with a political debate?wc3434 said:Chris Young was great! The guys a live wire and if you LISTENED to him, the facts on Jack Reed and the Loans scam were eye opening. The frightening part was Young was telling the factual truth and people would still vote for Reed!
Man, I think you are VERY wrong about Matt during the day! He'd get the young sure and because he's reasonable and conservative, he'd have the older listeners too.

What the HELL does this crap have to do with this posted topic!Holland Cooke said:
Holl, is it ALWAYS HAPPY HOUR for you?
I wondered the exact same thing!
Answer; absolutely nothing!!!
& I love how cookie and his buddy barber don't have comments turned on for their idiotic youtube videos.
Apparently these 2 can't take criticism.

RE "Holl, is it ALWAYS HAPPY HOUR for you?"
Is it always ANGRY Hour for YOU?
What the HELL does this crap topic accomplish?
Amused-as-you-might-be to toss anonymous zingers at the-people-on-the-radio, they're actually there DOING radio. And you?
Alrighty then.
Let's have a look at YOURS.

Angry,Zingers, just don't like your Wise Guy attitude here. Like just now.
Holl,Guess what, you STILL won't stay on topic.
Holl, you're the radio go to guy, right? so which is it? Buddy - Stay or Go? thanks.

Re: "Holl, you're the radio go to guy, right?"
RE "don't like your Wise Guy attitude here"
Moi?
There's lots of curiosity here about ratings, because they're embargoed.
But ratings are the-SECOND-most-important-set-of-numbers a station deals with.
And, as-little-as-we-know-about-ratings, REVENUE numbers are even-harder-to-discern.
Buddy or Rush?
Even though Rush Limbaugh is, unfortunately, often the Mount Everest of an affiliate's hour-by-hour ratings graph, very few Limbaugh affiliates get Rush-specific dollars.
We here don't know the numbers, but Buddy smells like money.
Rush?
Earlier this year, when he signed his new $400 million deal, he was compared to Mark Twain by a New York Times reporter in-front-of-whom Rush thumbed-through a brochure for a $54 million Gulfstream jet.
What are stations getting for their money? Nearly two years spent ridiculing Barack Obama climaxed with Limbaugh repeatedly airing the loudest of Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s well-worn sound bites on Election Day.
Claiming 600 affiliates, El Rushbo is radio’s biggest act. That’s Good News AND Bad News…
• The Good News: Maha Rushie’s new deal sends the marketplace the message that radio is (still) big. Hopefully, this will inure to radio better than Howard Stern’s deal did to Sirius. Hey, timing is everything. Sean Hannity also negotiated a fat new deal in 2008…a deal so big that Citadel couldn’t swing it alone.
• The Bad News: Who’s going to pay for it: affiliates, via additional in-program inventory and morning drive and weekend programming cram-downs. When I’ve heard Rush weekend hours, I’ve heard dated material (i.e., references to what-was-happening-at-the-time several days ago). Premiere couldn’t at least flag the-least-dated-segments from 15 weekday hours, and cobble-together three that don’t scream “RE-RUN?”
The angst I’m hearing from affiliate station managers and owners about fee hikes and cram-downs is loud-and-clear. And they’re concerned that they have “lost control of the programming.”
Meantime, it's the same show, day after day. Yesterday, the-day-AFTER voters voted, Rush was still playing Rev. Wright.
Don’t get me wrong. I consult Talk stations, so Rush Limbaugh has helped me earn a living. Politically, I’m agnostic. I have two playbooks. Where my client station is the Limbaugh affiliate, he’s the biggest star on radio. Where we compete, he’s the biggest buffoon on radio. Ideally, the station would feature an engaging local voice. Realistically, we’re often better-off with, than without, Rush (who is utterly un-helpful to affiliates) and Sean (who has been exceedingly generous to my affiliated client stations).
But the 2008 presidential and congressional elections rub-radio’s-nose-in-it: By preaching-only-to-the-converted, and talking-about-the-same-thing-every-day, our format’s top two talkers are at-a-disconnect from the consumers advertisers want to meet.
For decades, I've heard people say "I know Buddy."

Thanks for your responce on this topic. Holland, Are you saying keep buddy?
RE "Thanks for your responce on this topic."
"Response"
It'd be hard make any such determination, not-knowing-how-profitable-the-show-is.
But I CAN respond more specifically to another question...
"Buddy Barber."
Imagine THAT show!
But seriously...
I haven't checked the settings on Dave's videos, but you should find Comments enabled at all three now showing @ http://youtube.com/andyoucanquoteme, and you can also post on any of the pages @ www.AndYouCanQuoteMe.com or www.ListenToAmerica.com
In fact, if you weigh-in on the "First Dibs" page @ www.ListenToAmerica.com, your comments will be sent to The Presidential Transition Team.
Good evening from the soggy Block,

I was going to let this go but since you misquoted me...
I probably should have said your pal barber.
I did not capitalize the word buddy implying a pronoun but rather left it lower case using the
synonym for friend, acquaintance, etc.
I don't work in radio. I'm merely a listener, as my name suggests.
Sorry, I don't have videos posted on YouTube. I'm not a public figure by any means and certainly don't gloat on being in the public's eye.

RE "I don't work in radio."
That makes you part of a growing fraternity.
But in chaos, there is often opportunity.
The broadcaster's skill set is a BIG asset on the new platform.
Though those-who-never-did-radio are already prominent there.
The tools are at hand.
All you really need is an idea.
No need to be.
For $29.99, today's steal-of-a-deal at www.woot.com can hook you right up.
No camera?

And by also-not-capitalizing the-b-on "barber," you were implying that I was...getting a haircut?

So what's it all about, Alfie?
DO tell.
Although the-more-important REVENUE numbers remain closely guarded, any leaks about RATINGS would be of interest...

It's about your 'Tunnel' vision Holland !
How about the Sunday morning commie Deb Ruggeiro getting into the Senate!
Is R.I. ready for Gay Marriage?
Hey , if Buddies ratings don't strongly beat Rush ( and they don't) then how does WPRO
justify the Cianci shows big salaries to Fraid? Then again, how does Fraid justify Fraid! ( ABC )
