WAEB talk show

People may comment negatively about brokered programs on another station and in most cases they are wrong. If you wanna hear bad radio then listen to Bob Daday and Louie Belliteri on Sunday afternoons at 12 noon. This show is terrible.! "Oh, that's my grandnephew crying in the background." "ha, ha" What garbage!
 
I get the feeling this message board is just a b****-fest for the LV radio wannabe's. It is very easy to tear people down. I notice certain people may be here to do only that. What about intelligent, open minded discussions regarding LV radio?

Q-How many radio industry professionals (or hacks) does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A-20. 1 to screw it in, and 19 to stand around saying the way they screw it in sucked.
 
well you're right about too much bashing but i did hear the show and as much as i want to say it wasn't bad, it really was. what is WAEB thinking. WGPA leaves a lot to be desired but this show was worse than anything i ever heard on WGPA.

I might add a bit to that one.

Answer: 20.
The Consultant to mull over which brand, wattage, and old style or new-fangled bulb should be used.
The General Manager to get back to the PD after his lunch and golf outing. 3 days later.
6 bitter, former employees to bitch about the other things that never got changed.
4 to post online that the damn company was always too cheap to replace equipment in a timely fashion.
4 on-air staff to reply they don't know where the bulbs are.
2 voicetrackers to leave no comment, since they're out of state.
1 to email the part timer who will let the cleaning lady know on the weekend, who will ultimately change the bulb.

And the countless sales staff to try to get a sponsor for said lightbulb
 
drpickle,
Many AM stations will sell the time out on weekends for those wanting to put on a talk show. The people who want the show pay the station the money. In turn, those who buy the time go out and sell the advertising to make the money back. I haven't heard WAEB-AM or any station in the Lehigh Valley since I left the market in 2003. But in the markets I have worked since (Wilmington and Philadelphia), this practice is quite common. Think of it as an infomercial.
 
We are on the same page. My point was that most brokered programs in my opinion on WGPA are better than Lou Belliteri's show. But, aside from that Louie is a legend. Ok, I do not like his show but he is the KIng of Italian food in the Lehigh Valley. There's so many now but Lou is original and authentic. I have not heard the show in a while. I'l listen again soon. Maybe Louie and Bob Daday have improved.

dude.. u haven't eaten at the restaurant lately... the food was horrible and the portions were attrocious for the prices he's serving at the new location .... the chains serve better food.. especially bravo and buca... i wouldn't even put it on level with the olive garden cause at least there the portions are decent.. but i think they suck too... just another lehigh valley staple that thought it could rest on its laurels.... hmmm... sounds a little like lehigh valley radio??? do i sense a theme?? lol
 
I know of a CERTAIN LEHIGH VALLEY RADIO STATION that could have had a CERTAIN 10 YEAR PHILLY VETERAN TALENT at his beckon call, who would turn his station into a place of respectability. But, instead, was too greedy and decided he wanted this veteran talent to become something he's not.... a travelling salesperson, peddling his version of snake oil. In return? MAYBE an airshift....
 
Never mind the local Sunday show featuring Bob Daday and Belliteri. Im not sure if it is even on anymore. The biggest embarassment on 790 right now is that Quinn and Rose. The show is pathetic GWB, Republican, butt kissing. The Bomb Iran bit is so disturbing. Their cheerleading bloodlust for the current war and on air salivation for another one is extremely contradictory to Christianity or most other faiths. Are they funded by Washington Neo-Cons?
