WPRO gripes.....

- Start date
I would also like to see them hit the "cough button" every time "he"coughs. Of course, I realize that we would have 4 hrs of dead air, cause he's always coughing.
Maybe, if he didn't smoke in places that forbid it, he might
not be coughing his head off.

I'll probably get flamed for interrupting the gripe-gripe-gripes here with applause, and for focusing on what-comes-out-the-speaker, but weekends are often the Achilles’ heel of a station's local talent line-up...the "B" team.
I hear a LOT of radio in my travels, and Scott Cordischi is a major market act.

I know of a major market production/imaging guy who still smokes in the studio. The engineers have complained to the OM/PD about the equipment and the OM/PD's response is "I can replace the equipment, I can't replace him!"

You can tell a lot about a station from how its local weekend talent sounds.
Often, it's "the B team."

Re: Where-credit-is-due...
Scott Cordischi? Oh God, the Dave Barber of Sports Talk! Holland, I really don't get you . Come on, he sooo fake. So phoney.
Holland, what do you think of Jerry Doyle and Micheal Savage? I'd like to hear your opinion, believe it or not! Thanks.

RE "I'd like to hear your opinion, believe it or not!"
Be CAREFUL...be VERY careful.
Saying that here can get you shunned quicker than an Amish chick with an iPhone...
RE Doyle: Mike McVay and I had breakfast with him and TRN head honcho Mark Masters about a year ago, at the Talkers New Media Seminar; and I'll see 'em both again at this year's later this week. EXTREMELY interesting guy. Helluva resume, lotsa stories. NOT boring off-air, or on. NOT predictable, not droning.
RE Savage: apparent crackpot and CERTAIN phenom. Moves-the-needle almost everywhere, even in parts-of-the-USA where that Noo Yawk accent sounds like "somewhere else." His half-cocked take on whassup REALLY sounds like someone you'll find any night in any bar, thus resonates with many of the like-minded who find his act wafting through the night.
I have more experience with Savage (he's on more stations I've worked with since he popped than Doyle is). Both are evidence that Masters is a smart guy.
That's "my national opinion." Apropos both shows locally, I'm less-objective, since I did nights on WPRO for 6 years, and I think of it as one-of-those-stations-that's "too big" not-to-be-local in what-CAN-be an important daypart, still.
Obviously, why-both-shows-are-cleared-so-widely: stations are in a financial jam, everywhere. 'Just can't support enough local talent in M-F 6A-7P, let alone nights/overnights. Another new Providence thread bemoans the extinction of local overnight shows, and I do too. Who doesn't remember an iconic all-nighter like WBZ's Larry Glick or WTIC's Art Johnson? "The Cherub," Ed Cherubino, who followed me on WPRO at midnight was doing meet-up events in the 70s! So applause to WPRO and any station that can still do SOME local programming after 7PM.
I've met Cousin Brucie at several conventions, and he's always gracious-enough to pretend he remembered-having-met-me. When he visited WTOP in the 80s on his book tour (an autobiography that's better than you might expect), I told him that I-was-on-WPRO-nights when-he-was-on-WABC-nights...and he went right into an enthused spiel: "Number one: GREAT station! Number two: BEST time to work...IT'S NIGHTS!"

Holland, I agree with everything you said! Very enlightening!
Is it just me (or) am I seeing things? Half the time I am getting the first post that Alfie wrote calling Scott Cordischi fake and saying that he doesn't get Holland. Then when I refresh the page a few times only the second Alfie post is showing up saying that he agrees with everything Holland said! What the hell is going on? Not only does Radio-info seemed screwed up. But Alfie did a complete 180 and totally flip flopped his opinion of Holland. Somebody help me sort this out. I'm going back to bed.
"It does not compute..."
I know what happened...
Someone AGREED-with a consultant, and the entire system went haywire!

RE "System all messed up!"
Notwithstanding its glitzy digital reputation, managing Internet's plumbing seems a little like trying to control a directional AM pattern...a black art.
If today's GM bankrupty didn't have El Rushbo and the Rush wanna-be's so busy with conspiracy theories about the-dealers-being-closed-are-owned-by-Republican-campaign-contributors. they'd probably smell a conspiracy theory HERE too...
