Correction...Finnegan is coming back with McGann after 14 months.. Sorry for the confusion!
 
Good to see Max Mcgann coming back with Stve Finnigian. Actually, Steve had been back in recent months at certain times filling in for the Shark. Old Sharkie didn`t seem on his game in the mornings on WLXN like he did afternoon on Majic 94.1. The other guy really was up tight and sucked (Bob Maloney). Max McGann is great!!! Wish they could put Majic 94.1 back on the air!! Maybe Tom Collins can!!
 
I don't know how Shark Mark McGuffin made it all these years? Must have worked cheap in Charollte and here..Has one of the most nasal voices I have ever heard! I have know Mahoney all my life and he has always been "Worthless" Just my humble opinion.. Don't see how any money is going to be made although with the limted coverage.. 94.1, I think has another 3 years on the WWLV Religious a go go format contract! :-\
 
I mostly agree here with Big Ape... Bob Maloney was VERY boring, rude and sounded like he had a stick stuck up his you know whta-LOL!!! Shark sounded VERY BAD on the WXLN Morning Show. He sounded half-asleep and like he didn`t like Maloney. WLXN-FM 99.9 does carry very well for a very small translator signal (although it still doesn`t cover most of the Piedmont Triad). I do think that they can make some money by local advertisers in Lexington County and Winston-salem. The signal does pick up very well in mst of the Twin Cities. They need to swith that current Dial Global "Kool Oldies" feed with Dial Global`s newly restored "Good Time Oldies Feed". Dial Global brought back Jones Radio old popular feed that had been merged into the "Kool" feed about two years ago. A number of DG Affliates had requested they bring it back. It features long-time GTO Jones Oldies feed host Dave Sanders doing "Dave`s Diner"!! They even snagged Jay "The Fox That Rocks" Foxx away from rival citadel pure Oldied feed/Mojo Radio. The GTO feed would be much better.

Why would anyone in Lexington County, SC advertise on an AM station in Davidson County, NC?

Because it's going Oldies, silly!
And the whole Raleigh/Greenville forum board is going to be the better for it. :D
 
First, it's not Lexington County, SC...It's Davidson County, NC and the town is Lexington....Duhhhhh!
I agree, they need the Jones GTO Feed..Much better. But, with extreme limited coverage with the repeater and the terrible WLXN Directional 1000 watt signal at night, I cannot provide much future or hope. 5000 watt nd daytime works OK, but after sunset, Forget it!
 
Amazing how 2 very good radio personalities can get slammed and most of you commenting could care less about the stations in Lexington. Bob Mahoney was the consumate on-air radio personality. Knowledgeable, quick witted, and always striving for perfection. Mark "The Shark" McGuffin was an extremely funny on-air personality. Maybe Mark didn't fit in on WLXN, but how can you say he was a bad on-air personality???? For God's sake, 2 very good radio men are out of work and all you people can do is slam them. Nice job! Kick them while they're down. As for Max McGann and Steve Finnegan, best of luck guys and welcome back to the world of radio! Hope it works out for you.
 
Yes, it is VERY funny how posters from another area get on here and don`t realize that this is a Lexington NORTH CAROLINA board-LOL!!! Nobody was even talking about Lexington, South Carolina-LOL!!! Thanks, Big Ape for agreeing that WLXN should switch the Dial Global feed to the GTO feed. Maybe, you could tell cousin Gig Hilton! As far as other posters saying Shark and Bob Maloney were "slammed" I disagree!! I had said that Shark was great om Mahic 94 in Afternoon drive, but he did sound horrible in the Mornings!!! He sounded like he was half asleep. Bob Maloney was always way too uptight and pushy for my tastes, but that is my humble opinion. Great to see Max McGann and Steve Finnigian back!
 
Mahoney is 65 years old! You want him with his grey hair with dummy Mark @ your remote?? Doubt it! Like I said, I've know Mahoney all my life and he has been booted from every station. even Curly Howard's in Winston! WKBX in the 70's!

Ummm....YOU were the one who mentioned Lexington County on this board and it was on May 22 at 11:01:10 pm (shouldn't you have been digging into a sweet "Gomer Pyle, USMC" re-run?), so YOU were the one who was wrong (as usual)

Grey hair won't work? Could be trouble, you apparently haven't seem Max or Steve recently :-\
 
Memo to Goatboy- Son there IS a Lexington County NORTH CAROLINA also!!!!-LOL!!! Haven`t you EVER been outside the state of South Carolina??? LOL!!!!!!!
 
No... there isn't.

Oh wait, Lexington County, NC - I forgot about it, sorry. That's that county where Sandra whatshername does news and the Warthogs are the local favorite team.
 
I think we all deserve some consideration for putting up with GoofyTimesandGratingOldie for so long.
Maybe he can plan a road trip to Lexington County, NC, for all of us?
 
Great idea! I would love a steak... how about he take us to the Western Steer? Ours is now a car dealership, but I'm sure there's still one left in Lexington County.
 
In Lexington County, NC, I would hope he'd take us to Kenny Rogers' Roasters, Steak & Ale, or maybe Chi-Chi's.
I hear those places all rock, and I've been outside SC and all that.
