Well Roger it is obvious to all that you are an employee at Pamal. All you do is dip your pro-Pamal comments into threads that are tearing down your company, so from this point on whenever I see a post from you I will just take it as null and void. The proof being your defense of Chris Marino in this current post. The person who started this topic is dead on point. Morning Radio in the Hudson Valley is the worst it has been in years. It was at its best a couple of years ago when K&M and Woodman were the tops in mornings. Since the void left when both shows decided to leave the Valley, radio has done nothing but go down hill. K&M had a bunch of benchmark bits that they would do, you could set a clock to tune into to your favotire bit. Would man was the same. Now these pretenders to the throwns of morning radio are just awful. Coop and Tobin are a waste, its all talk and a bunch of forced laughter to make John Tobin think he is some sort of comedic genius. They are awful, and you can tell there is abosolutly no prep that goes into that show. They talk about absolute nonsense. On Fridays they bring in some canned laughter to make Tobin feel funny enough that all he does is interupt the real comedians who come in with his bad jokes. Coop and Tobin, I am sorry but real comics tour the united states doing comedy in comedy clubs not in local fire houses and client owned restaurants. Maybe the bosses on Pendell road should wake up early and tune into the garbage being spued on the airwaves and realize that is the reason they are having problems keeping sponsors on, and not so much the economy as they think.
Now onto the abortion of a morning show host in Chris Marino. Chris seems like a really nice guy, I will give him that, but being a nice guy has nothing to do with being a morning show host. He is a studdering mess who uses nothing but crutch words and he cannot complete a thought. "ya know" It is a mess of show with anywhere from 4-7 people in the studio at a time. It is real hard to listen to so many people stepping over each other. I am even wondering if Scotty airchecks them ever or even tunes into the show, becuase it is that bad! Once again they all seem like nice people, but nice doesn't make you cut for mornings. The reason why is where are the benchmark bits? They are so bad they read the horroscopes every mornning. What is that? Why would you waste airtime with such nonsense? The funniest thing I have heard on that show since it has hit the airwaves is the Michael Phelps song, but once again was that them or did they swipe it from a prep service. Collectively all 7 of them do not deliver one once of funny.
Once again I think they really need to work on the basics with Chirs before we put them in a catagory of being a good morning show based on their personalities and where they came from before they got here. I will say Bill Beale has the most talent on that show and he seems to run it a lot smoother the mornings Marino is off.
Finally back to Roger, under your name here it says you enjoy airchecking radio. Dude... know what to listen for before you claim that that's your hobby because you have no idea what should go into an aircheck.
Maybe someday soon radio will get back to normal here when somebody upstairs at both of these powerhouse stations wakes up and listens and realize they both could use some new talent. None of these show could possibly have any teir one listeners because both of them offer up nothing but soupy dreck.
