Worst Morning Show in Jacksonville?

Morning shows in Jax....
If you like and enjoy country music as well as the lifestyle your best bet is going to be Boomer and Robbie Rose on 99.1 WQIK they are funny to listen to and their chemistry mixes probably the best in the market. Gator country (99.9) with Dallas and Dixie just is not a good show no chemistry or sense of humor from either host, but a good station after 10am.
If you are a fan of the hardest working man in radio The Tom Joiner Morning Show is on V101.5
If you are a total in your face kind of raunchy morning humor to an extent and angry some as well at the world then Planet Radio 107.3 with Lex and Terry is your choice.
MJ in the morning on Kiss Fm (97.9) is a total talk morning show but entertaining if you like a lot of celebrity news, idiots in the news and other things they talk about they are actually fun to listen to in the morning.....
Rock 105's morning show Mark Dom and Jenny I dont care for at all they may be the worst morning show in the market but some people enjoy them they just are not funny to me but some do which is why they have a show, but as long as Patti is in the afternoons its always a good day!
The Big Ape 95.1 just introduced a new morning show this week Mark and Chris... To early to tell about those but time will tell. Did not care for the Morning Zoo.... I actually really enjoyed J-Dubb and Styles when they did the show for a few weeks before the new show started.... This new show seems to be trying to hard and maybe they are since they are new to the market, but I am giving them a chance, but so far in two days my feedback would be what was Cat thinking?
88.1 The Promise with Calvin and Theresa is a fun interactive morning show and very family friendly if you have kids. Good station on the left side of the dial if you are looking for a safe station for your kids in the morning
WEJZ Lite 96.1 dont know the guys name but he has an English accent and a girl named Vallerie (sp?) is the co-host can't stand the english guy and dont ever listen to this station anyway.
The other stations such as the Eagle (96.9) The Point (102.9), and Rooster (93.3) I believe to an extent are just music with a regular DJ but I believe Big D and Bubba are syndicated on Rooster

On Lite 96.1 its Arthur Crofton and Valerie Segraves called the Morning show with Arthur and Valerie and they are actually great to listen to and yes you actually get to hear music here. Other morning shows well it just depends how I am or what I want.
Will Movin ever get a morning show or wait even a DJ at all? They have been on the air now for 90 plus days and still nothing. This a bunch of BS with that station. What a joke. And ratings are going down hill FAST.

This is really a great topic as it made me think of the fact that for some time time now - I've been literally all over the dial on the way to work with no specific loyalty to any one show. It's that way on the way home too.
It shows what continues to happen to radio and overall - it's not good. AM drive is still supposed to be radio's prime time but when even a radio junkie like myself just keeps flipping from one station to another in the hope of finding something good I wonder if the average listener is in the same boat. Lex & Terry have a following but for whatever reason, I rarely tune them in anymore. I like most of the music on 96.1 but their chat fests in AM drive are too long and most of the time - they are boring. AC is at it's best when it keeps the interruptions down to a minimum.
I've tuned into 96.9 and sometimes I've had to listen carefully wondering if Scott Walker is filling in. To me, the new guy - JT- sounds very much like Scott. I guess that's Scott's idea of what a DJ should sound like. Emulation and flattery go hand in hand I guess. It makes me realize just how good the late Don Gerrard was given the very limited time he was given to say something.
There used to be a time morning shows were the topic of water cooler conversations at work. Over the last few months, I can only recall 2 times someone brought up radio and that was "let's tune into the Jingle Bell station" when 96.1 was doing Christmas music and when the Morning Zoo announced they were leaving. And that was it for a year!
The morning show on 99.1 WQIK has a following I'm sure. I don't go anywhere near country music but when talent is allowed time to execute their routines and when they have chemistry, it's a winner. And the numbers show the public still craves that!
So, it's really been some time that I had a favorite morning show in Jacksonville. And that was Dave & Heather when they were on Cool 96.9. As I think of it, I was always up early just after 4 AM and Cool 96.9 was on playing in the kitchen as I was on the computer already in work mode. I'd listen to D&H for a couple of hours and then drive into work with them. I virtually listened to nothing else. Pat Garrett, Tom Murphy, Doc Brock, Hoyle Dempsey and the list goes on. They were addictive personalities. So lacking nowadays.
We are reminded the times have changed and oldies, for example, have no place in radio anymore. If we can look in the mirror and be honest, if you think what is on the air now is just as good or better as it was just 5 years ago - then it becomes clear how vulnerable radio really is and how sad it is too that listener choices are so very limited.

The worst show in Jacksonville had to have been late 2000-early 2001, when Bargain Bob tried selling crap on Talk Radio 970 during morning drive in an attempt to compete with WJXR. Thank goodness I was in class mornings and couldn't work that shift. I so badly wanted to crank call him and declare, "Doug Stephan rules!"
I used to listen to Lex & Terry before The Greaseman returned, then I was hooked on him until the station changed format. After that, I didn't return to L&T. Instead, I punched around among Arf on 100.7, Randy Clemens on the new 106.5, and later, John Harrell on The Point. I suppose I began to crave music when I convinced myself that nobody could replace Grease! I agree, Don was great with what he had.
For brief periods in the last couple of years, I tried following the Morning Zoo and Arthur's show, but one's music turned me off, and the other, while it wasn't bad, wasn't "must listen" material to me being a young male. I also sampled the new MGD show in its first few weeks, and if I had an hour or two at a time to listen, I might enjoy it more. Maybe I just don't have the time to devote to a mostly talk show now. I recall what I said about Planet Radio post-Bubba: if Chasey held down the morning shift with just music and being herself, I would listen. These days, I catch the headlines on WOKV as soon as I wake up (since I can pick it up pre-sunrise now), and that's about it.
I remember back in the 80's listening to Hoyle & Fizz, and two different morning shows on 97 WAIV (the names escape me at the moment), and having plenty of good material to share on the playground. Now, not so much. I make up my own kickers as I talk up the post to a jockless XM channel!

I'll have to agree w/you, JohnJax. COOL 96.9 was the best. I, too, enjoyed listening to Dave and Heather in the mornings and World Famous in the evenings. After Cox let them go, I switched over to the Big Show and have never searched for another morning show because you can't get any better then Bommer & Robbie Rose; and let's not forget about Toni Fox). The new morning guy on the Eagle, JT, can try, but he's a one man show.... he can't compete w/ QIK.
I'm sure you made the Cool gang's day by your kind remarks...
