WLW, please be merciful and rid us of Tracey Jones asap. It's becoming painful.

The corporate hotshot, Tom Schurr, ought to try to do the job he thinks is so easy.
He was so jealous of WLW when he was in Louisville and couldn't compete with WHAS that he decided he was going to get his revenge when he could.
His is the picture of cutting one's nose (and his is formidable) off to spite one's face.
He is the guy that spent 45 minutes telling the entire Cincinnati Clear Channel staff how lazy and worthless they were when they turned in one of the most profitable years of the company. One peroson thought he'd fire someone at random just to show he COULD!
Tom Schurr has been calling the shots since Mike Kenney left for Cleveland and parts unknown. Chuck Fredrick has not ever held the reins of the CC Cincinnati domain. His brother, Joe, has at least made enough on the side from selling tickets to sporting events on the side to cover his expenses, if not personal pride. Chuck can't look himself in the mirror, let alone a fellow employee, without flinching.
Tom? He has no soul. He is the devil's step-child. So don't blame Darryl. He's hanging on until Tom is afraid of him, too. That's when you'll see cat eyes staring back at you...

Tracey Jones is a Mediocre radio want to be ; who does not have the talent to be on WMOH
or WPFB radio ! CC is now the 50,000 watt joke in the Industry for afternoon drive . Yea, I
know you hear all the time Darryl Parks bragging about how its $350 a pop for the spots on
the show ----- big deal --- their paying for the Electric to run that 50Kw transmitter ; Tracey
would be lucky to get $9.00 and hour to run the Board all night at WGRR...
Cincinnati is NOT a Major Market ---- its a large Market only ; even with that said ; Jones is
laughable to listen to . NOT entertaining . Jones & Parks are NOT " Steve & Gary" as they
sound awkward together . ( Steve Dahl & Garry Meier ) .... Jones Female References are boring
and beyond tired to listen to each day. Have turned OFF WLW in the afternoons ---- its a
sad Joke !

Cunningham "commented/joked" about the revolving door of CC employees who will be co-hosting with Jones, and the apparent friction between Jones and his co-host. He implied that Sloan was to do the gig for a few days, but could only stand the situation for one. Listen to the podcast of today's show during the last minutes of the third hour.

He ain't Gary Burbank, that's for sure. I've tried listening to his show a few times since he took over that time slot but I just can't make it through an entire show.

Who is this "Mark Amazon?" guy that's been on with Tracy? Never heard of him until now...he is (Mark Amazon) trying TOO Hard to sound like Eddie Fingers.
There will only ever be one Eddie Fingers.
Tracy Jones...don't let the door hit your ass too hard on the way out. You are next.

I've heard the name, I don't know if he fills in on weekend sports or something like that. If they are really thinking that Jones has the "man you love to hate" star power and all he needs is a straight man, then maybe Amazon's the guy. (I don't agree with that assessment but some do)
I think people still listen to WLW even though the particular host/s is not that appealing simply for the news.
Take the news away and there's often no reason to listen.
Personally, I have now come back to liking Jim Scott. Parks is ok as he has informative topics. Sloan just talks too fast and seems manic most of the time. Jones...well, there's no reason to listen.
Jones was fine doing his schtick in Reds post games; actually enjoyed him them. But that stuff just stinks up the prime time 3-6 slot.

Mo Egger was on yesterday. He didn't sound too bad with Jones. I prefer Egger doing Sports though.
The 3-6 WLW show is a train wreck currently. Is anyone from WLW reading this? Apparently not because they are only concerned about "Revenue Dollars" more so than what the listener wants (namely a decent afternoon live drive show that doesn't suck eggs)...
Hey Jones! Stop asking female callers how much they weigh or if they are married! That has NOTHING to do with the conversations you are having. Move on!
The only thing worthwhile on WLW is the news reports at the top and bottom of the hours; everything else in the afternoon sucks.

I heard Tracey Jones mention this past week that they are actively searching for a permanent co host for his show. One has to wonder if the candidate they pick will ultimately replace Tracey Jones? Amazon sounds better than Jones.
