Update: WLW still stinks between 3-6.

Used to really enjoy Eddie Fingers, but man that entire show has gotten even worse lately.

Did you know Tracy played for five major league teams?
 
When an alleged caller called in yesterday about the "peanuts debris at the ballpark", Tracy immediately took it into the gutter by questioning "penis debris". Gee, I can't understand why the show tanks.

WLW, please replace Tracy with Bob Berry! To the powers to be at Clear Channel: man up, plead a mea culpa and rehire Bob. You know, he used to be heard on the afternoons years ago (on a station you bought from Uncle Carl), on a program that didn't insult the intelligence of the listener. Right Fred?
 
Long as the ratings stay what they are (and they equal or surpass Burbank) Eddie and Tracy wil be there. Don't like the show, but WLW does not make decisions based on Radio-Info.com.
 
If CC keeps making personnel cuts in order for the higher ups to keep the private jet for personal uses, then they are happy. WLW is small potatoes to them.
 
Good to know others can't stand it either. I shouldn't say can't stand, I should say won't stand because I just have to turn it off after 5 minutes or so after listening to some news or weather.

It's true, it actually seems to have gotten worse after Fingers came back.

It's rating have got to be driven by a lack of anything else to listen to at that time of day.

Playing for 5 major league teams doesn't mean you are a good ball player. Tracy Jones was never a good ball player.

I think he tries to compensate for the fact that he KNOWS he wasn't a good player...
 
Quit listening when they dumped Eddie the first time.......The classic gig. Tracy is going to take the extreme left and Eddie will take the normal thinking right, and we'll attract callers. That gig was up in the late 80's. I think they both do what they are told to keep their jobs. Need to jump ahead to 2012.
 
Bain Capital is trying to recoup its loses hoping that Iheart Radio turns into a cash cow IPO like Facebook has done. Listeners and CC employees come last in their world.

Maybe Tracy was imitating the new traffic guy from Cleveland mispronouncing every road name in Cincinnati. Clear Channel blows.

Kiese has the story

http://cincinnati.com/blogs/tv/2012/04/19/cincinnati-traffic-for-dummies/

The traffic reports are one of the few reasons I listen to WLW anymore and now those are being farmed out. Temporarily I hope. Chuck Ingram is good and I enjoy his style. The subs they've had this week sound like rank amateurs, have been hard to understand at times, and are obviously not from around here as they mispronounce so many of the road names. WLW apparently pays its big guns but everything in between is starting to reek more and more. Hard to believe what has become of this once prestigious station.
 
WLW should have Eddie Fingers do their traffic updates. It makes one wonder why they even bother at all with traffic since you can get more timely updated info on your IPhone.
 
I sense a great business opportunity here. An I-phone app with phonetic pronunciations laid in over a road map. If it works as well as Map-quest...oh...nevermind.
:D
 
The show is still awful.

Hey Tracy, we really don't care that you were mentioned on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball.
