Wow lots of picking on Utern Laverne going on here. Let's see she has been in radio for 20 years now...most don't last a year or two in nashville. So that says something. Then she has been on clear channel one of the biggest radio companies in the world. That says something as well. She was taken off all stations except WSIX and WLAC just so the other stations could save money and give some unbelievable traffic reports. I would rather know that someone sounds like they're out on the scene of an accident or traffic jam than know that there in a studio reading off TDOTS website.

I love how people pick on her accent too. She is a southern girl. If your from the north then lets see how well you do in the south changing your accent. huh?????

Now for all of you that were commenting on her. Let's make sure the NEXT time you get a radio job that you make NO MISTAKES!!!!

It's one thing to make a mistake, but to keep making the same one over and over??

Bob is still doing his usual excellent job with traffic reports on WPLN, WJXA, etc.
 
How about the yahoo who does his own commercials for Camper's World? "LET'S GO CAMPING!!" What a horrible voice. He sounds like he's about 9 years old. Why do these idiots insist on doing their own voiceovers? ::)
 
double da*n ditto on that guy..years ago if it took the owner doing his own spots to make the sale..that's what happened..i've heard worse..(ernest hix, factory outlet)..oldbud will remember..as for him sounding nine..sounds like he should be doing hair instead of selling campers..
 
i do remember the ernest hix spots..but only because i was standing there having to run the production board for him and listen as he did his spots..as for the camping guy..no i don't remember a thing about what he's selling..when i hear the first restrains of "lets go camping"..i hit the off button..and i don't think lavern is all that bad..gets in and put quick with the traffic stuff..thats what i want to know..she's not supposed to be landecker or charlie tuna..i did like bob august when he heard him with coyote..always clever and some great impressions..who eles in the world does tony randall ? ;D
 
I've got another one. The idiots who do the something McCall & Sons and end their spot with a big "HEYYYYYY." What's up with that Jethro?
