Great idea, excellent line-up. Hope Mitchell does not want to come over, and hope The Twins are not in the mix. And, if they could just get Kenny W. on board, WOW.

What a train wreck.
I know I'll get slammed for this 'cause I know Cpt. Humble is a great guy... but gosh, he's bad on the radio... and the shameless self promotion of his sandwich shop. It's painful to listen to. Oh, but Ed Clancey should really help, right?
Sad.
Have the "Twin's" already been shown the door?

No, any show with Bob Mitchell on it is the Worst Radio Ever. How this clown has conned Entercom is beyond belief.
Gosh, I have to agree. It is hard to imagine anything worse than Mitchell. His show is almost like a Saturday Night Live skit.

2 weeks ago I'm sure I heard the Twins on 990... have they gone away already or am I hallucinating?
I take back what I said about Mitchell. The Twins, as hard as it may be to imagine, may be worse. Yes, I have decided, The Twins ARE worse than Mitchell. Sorry, Bob....

ned!
WE FINALLY AGREE!!!!
THe "twins" are worse than Bob Mitchell.
The Twin's were a pair "northshore" radio hosts (note, I did not say "talents") who bounced around the radio and cable.
They are proof that America is a great country because even if you have no talent, you can make some money.

The only thing that I have ever liked at WGSO was Ken Trahan, Ed Daniels and John Marie. I especially liked John's evening show, because he gives up to the minute scores, insider reports and does great interviews. How can these guys handle the new "Northshore" format? No one can blame this product on the corporate monsters. This is absolutely the worst radio station that I have ever heard. Where did they get the news people? I'm sure that I could go to some elementary school and find fourth graders that can read better than those people. Who's running that show? I'm sure that it won't last long. It has to be some sort of tax write-off or a scam on the owner(s).

Here's my crystal ball on the whole 990 thing.
My guess is that they will slowly "morph" into the "Voice of St. Tammany, Jefferson and New Orleans" gradually moving away from the "northshore centric" thing when they figure out they can't pull it off. Then, because no one is listening, they'll start carrying syndicated news, cutting the cost of local news people. Then, because they still they won't make money, they'll start backing off the local hosts and start filling the station with syndicated programming. Then, when the automotive investors (shills) figure out that they were scammed out of their money for a station that can't make a dime, they'll start pulling out of the deal. Trahan, the best of the bunch, will stay until the station finally just goes to all paid programming, and even then, Ken will buy time like he's done in the past and broker the commercials to his loyal posse for his Friday night and Saturday show.

Kenny, this is scary, not only do we agree on the twins, but I have to admit that I agree with your assessment of this station. Goodness gracious, what next?!

My brother-in-law tells me that Kenny had serious neck surgery and is still in the hospital with a "halo" attached to him.
I don't think he has much time to fool around on boards like us idiots.

Halo? What for, brain updating and speech improvement?
Oh, and they don’t let laptops into hospitals any more?
