I’m getting tired of some of the negative content of “Mobile Mornings”, a local radio program with Wayne Gardner and Sean Sullivan, on WAVH-FM. The speech enhancers (those Minnesota Vikings beat the hell out of those Cowboys, to paraphrase Wayne Gardner yesterday), the name calling (Sean Sullivan using “knucklehead” to describe certain public figures), the rudeness (both hosts used the word “hottie” to describe someone while discussing reports of a well-known golfer sighted in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. I don’t know who they were talking about, as I was paying more attention to the World Wide Web than another story about the golfer’s private life, but I was surprised an older person such as Wayne Gardner would use the word), and the constant laughter by Sean Sullivan have me concerned for what other listeners think about the Mobile area. I’m sure many of WAVH-FM’s listeners would never speak this way to their friends or family to prove a point or to be entertaining.
I had hoped this local radio program would be different from the mean-spirited nature of Ron Fraiser’s program on WABB-AM and “The Uncle Henry Show” on WNTM-AM, but it’s just as unpleasant and embarrassing for Mobile. Even without mean or ridiculous telephone calls from listeners, “Mobile Mornings” still manages to be vulgar and mean at times with two experienced hosts who are supposed to be professionals.
I wish for a more pleasant local radio program of the news and talk format in Mobile. Listeners deserve to hear something pleasant in this format on the local level for once. If radio can have pleasant nationally syndicated programs like “First Light with Dirk Van”, “Doug Stephan’s Good Day”, “The Joey Reynolds Show”, “Leo Laporte the Tech Guy”, and “The Kim Komando Show”, why not a local radio program in Mobile? It’s possible to be polite and not express yourselves in a mean or rude way. It’s more professional and what many humans strive to be in life, which is too short to be mean.
I’m glad WABB-AM has “Doug Stephan’s Good Day” at the same time as “Mobile Mornings” as an alternative when the language of the latter program bothers me or something less interesting airs (usually the sports segments), but I may start listening to WABB-AM more often in the mornings along with “First Light” and the “CBS World News Roundup” on WAVH-FM.
