Who Will Replace Eddie Money---

W

wpb1999

So, now that the 3 month old show that really was just inaudible Eddie Money trying to speak is over. Who will replace him?

-Randy and Spiff
-Steve McCoy
-Kady Keily
-Regular Guys (if Rock 100.5 switches formats)
-Jimmy Baron

Those are the possibilities that I thought of. Think of any more?
 
I try not to be a hater on these boards. However, the Eddie Money experiment, when I heard it, was a grade A MESS.

It'll be interesting to see what they do with mornings. Cagle has done a good job instilling some personality into the station, so I wouldn't be shocked to see one of the aforementioned name brands in that slot.

Randy & Spiff--too "old" for what is trying to be a younger/harder-sounding, music-focused classic rock station.
Steve McCoy--See above. Kind of reminds me of the old classic rock Z93 replacing The Greaseman with Gary McKee. It just didn't work with the format, with Gary having been on CHR/AC pretty much his entire career. But he is headed back to the ATL...
Kaedy Kiely--It worked before and would work again. Having KK in midday is a waste of her talent. PM drive is her natural habitat, but AM drive also works, especially if you want a low-talk, more-rock alternative.
TRG--It would work, but it would also be quite a departure for the music-centric River. I would only do this if River were struggling in AM drive.
Jimmy Baron--Worth a try; with KK in another daypart River could add more personality with JB as knowledgeable curators of the classic hits format, especially since River is moving farther afield with harder and deeper stuff.

Is JJ Jackson (96 Rock/Z93/Lake 102/Sunny 100/Eagle?) still around? How about Tim Rhodes? Who did "Traffic Jam & Jokes" in PM drive on Z93? I take it Mark McCain has hung up his cans, and he was too topical for River (which also ixnays Christopher Rude). With the direction River is going some old Z93/96 Rock alumni would be ideal.

Eddie Money wasn't only recorded, it was recorded badly. Cox should be ashamed of themselves.

Grade A? It sounded like GST at night on an FM station in the morning!
 
Why don't we move Chuck & Chrenoff over to open up that slot again to a successful sports talk show worth listening to again. Comments are welcome.
 
Here's some other names which hasn't been mentioned yet:
Willard, Jay Andrews, Kris Harris & Evan Delaney (did mornings @ Bulldog 100.1/103.7 Athens), & Rich Sullivan...

At least this gives us something to think about going into 2012...

Willard would work.

Doesn't anyone OUTSIDE the market ever get hired in ATL?

Seriously.
 
Kaedy Kiely was on this AM. Is this a permanent move?
 
The PD who came up with the idiotic idea of bringing in Eddie Money needs to be fired. And people wonder why Atlanta morning radio is so lame.
 
Kaedy to AM Drive is, thankfully, a permanent move. As talented as she was already, she only sounds better following the Eddie Money monstrosity. The sounds of chickens being slaughtered would have been an improvement over that trainwreck.

All that aside, very glad Kaedy's back in a prime-time slot. She deserves it.
 
What does Kaedy bring to the table. I know she has a great voice, but what about content?

She knows more interesting factoids about songs and artists than most of us will ever know. And she presents them in an entertaining and interesting fashion.

For a music-centric morning show, her wealth of knowledge and presentation is perfect.
