When Jay Is On Vacay, Why Not Jimmy Myers?

[Laurence Glavin]

If it's 3:00 pm, there's a 50 per cent chance that SOMEBODY ELSE doing Jay Severin's shift on 969 FM talk. But why must it always be one of the regular weekday yakkers, either live, or as is happening now (4:00 pm Thursday the 7th) on tape delay? Isn't Boston radio veteran Jimmy Myers already on the payroll, doing a regular weekend gig? Wouldn't it make sense to have him come in and be a substitute host once in a while? He's well-known in the market, and it would alert listeners that he does have a shift on the station during the weekend. I wonder if there's any reason why, of all the folks on the 969 FM payroll who could fill in for the regular talk-show hosts, Jimmy Myers is ALWAYS overlooked? Any suggestions?

Not Ready for prime time?

He is a bit too radical for me, and would almost certainly be tuned out or turned off by "the best and the brightest"

He opened his mouth one too many times when he got involved in the Reggie Lewis thing

So they had Michael Graham on instead, which is not a problem.

But it was a replay of this morning's program.

At one point he says "I'll be filling in for J Severin later today" :

I also like Jimmy Myers, but as quoted, "The Best and Brightest" might be turned off. (I myself) would like to see Jimmy Myers on regular weekdays. For me, he has some good topics, and the way he talk, it feel like he is talking right to (me) which make me listen more and more (like a soap opera) you want to listen more and more.

But, sadly to say, as quoted, "The Best and Brightest" might be tuned out

Jimmy's always been too hot for Boston radio. That said, I've always enjoyed listening to him, no matter the topic.

Wonder if they're doing a rerun now, or live (will find out when I head out to my car in a moment)...because the story about John Edwards admitting his affair is breaking news. Howie all over it.

The replacement for today and most of next week is Curtis Sliwa. CURTIS SLIWA????

 

[ZRXOA 5248]

Curtis did very well in NYC, which is a much bigger market.

His background with the Guardian Angels and the attempted mob hit could fill a few segments.

Curtis Sliwa, one half of "Curtis and Kuby In The Morning" which aired on WABC. When Citadel picked up Imus after NHH-gate, Curtis and Kuby got the boot.

 

[SonicOverload]

Curtis is too "New York" for this market... and a glory hound.

I believe it was earlier this week (or maybe it was last week) when Michelle McPhee had the noon-3 Jim and Margery shift and also her own 7-midnight shift. I think Jay actually had his own shift in between.

M&M will also be filling in for the Cracker 9:00 am till noon next week. I wonder who'll be doing her shift? Or will they rerun the morning show?

 

[WMC2006]

Joe and Huggy fill in for her quite a bit it seems. Maybe they'll get the big temp promo to weeknights for the week.

 

[WMC2006]

McPhee was in for Graham this morning. I lasted about 30 seconds with her. And, whomever was supposed to be holding down Severin's shift today couldnt make it so they had some guy from WABC in New York phoning in and will apparently be there most of the week.
