WQRT RealTalk/Furman factor
- Thread starter Darius C
- Start date
Yep, that's the right guy.
Uncas said:billygose said:Uncas said:No. He is a rabbi's son. Went to Sycamore HS. Now he is at OSU.
Karras or something close to that.
Furman's adopted boys go to school in NKY. High school age now.
Are you sure you're thinking of the right guy? I know some of the folks who work at the station....I think you're thinking of someone different.
Yep, that's the right guy.
How do you know him so well?

I've never met him.
the mole said:I was very surprised to not only see the Real Talk Furman Billboards today -- but shocked that he had a cigar in the photo. In this anti-smoking environment how can this be "politically correct?"
Well, "PC" is for the birds.....

Why be politically correct?
It is a pretty tired endeavor plus it means the hall monitors are running your life.

I grow tired of reading stories by people who think they're in the know -- yet know nothing.
Here goes -- I work with Furman's brother and here's what I know and heard:
a. most of these "inside" remakrs about Furman, and his personality, family etc., probably came from J.C. McCoy and/or Rodger Kaufman -- why I don't know.
b. Next -- Furman was hired at 1160 as a talk host and nothing more. He had no say, nor did he hire a co-host nor did he ever "fire" a co-host.
c. J.C. McCoy was hired as a salesman with limited duties as production and Furman suggested he be an on-air "sidekick."
d. McCoy was "fired" by management as a salesman
e. Furman doesn't even get paid for his shows; he's building a library and wants to get back in the "game."
f. He never asked for nor requested nor fired a co-host -- the show doesn't have a "co-host."
These are the facts -- and please leave family off these boards.

You work with his brother Randy? (j/k)
I hope Andy stays in the game or gets the job he clearly deserves. I just hope it is local.

Mole is Rodger. Darius is one of his minions.

You really think so?
Reason why i ask is that point e is totally false. What is the rule on willful, false statements?
Uncas, your comment on PC..... two thumbs up!

Moneymaker, do you really think everyone on this board is Rodger? Me, Puff, Mole, etc, etc. Like it's just you and all of Rodger's log in names talking to each other. Rodger is not on these boards, never has been. Other people from DJO, maybe, but not him. And mole, you might want to get your "facts" straight, "e" isn't your only "fact" that is untrue. Long of the short of it is that everyone originally involved in the Furman Factor project has or is getting much less than they deserved or expected at the onset, through no fault of their own, and more shakeups are on the way.
If everyone on this board seems to know so much about Real Talk and the Furman Factor, then, hell the ratings would be off ther charts. So first we must "assume" that the so-called "know-it-alls" arfe all "inside" people. They either a) work in radio, or b) work or worked at Real Talk.
Here's the dope: I got this first-hand: a) yes "e" weas incorrect, Furman does get a nice pay day at Real Talk, and b) those they claim people have come and gone -- not true, Only McCoy and a part-timer named Brandon have been shipped away. That's it. And again the fickle finger points towards the Kaufmann;s who, honestly have an axe to grind against Real Talk.
On the streets it's quite amusing as "their" salespeople downgrade 1160 yet it was that same frequency they "sold" for years. First rule in sales -- never negative sell. Andclosing I never did think Oldies was in competition with AM-talk. In fact, oldies isn't in competition with anyone -- music on AM radio is yesterday's news. Now that is a tough sell. Have a good day.

Maybe there's a Rodger under every stone.....
"I'm a Rodger, he's a Rodger, she's a Rodger, they're a Rodger, wouldn't you want to be a Rodger, too? Be a Rodger, drink dr......"
Well, you get the point.
Yes mole, they may be on to something. Something like a 0.2 share, because nobody cares about any of those teams. Maybe Notre Dame, but the Florence Freedom get less than 2000 fans per game. NKU isn't Dicision 1 and the graduates don't follow the team, and the Commandos is just a party with a football game attached. None of these will generate any ratings at all. They're merely revenue streams. The Cyclones have been around for a while and they've never shown to be a ratings success, so why would these? That would never happen on 1160 anyway, since most of these sports (except ND) happen in the evening when there's no signal.
WQRT should focus on a new morning show, 12p-2p, and continued improvement in the Furman show. Even with that, this station will probably never get close to a 2.0 share.

Wow were do you start. First off I am not a Rodger or Roger!? Not sure why this guy gets so much board time from the posters.
Here is what I do know: Furman is looking into getting on in another market 1160=air checks. I saw his resume listed on another website for a radio talent agency and had a title of VP of marketing and sales for WDJO!? And his current job at WQRT is listed of course. It is no secret in the business that Furman is looking. It is easier to get an on-air radio job if you have one and not being on the beach. Remember he still holds his job at Jake Sweeney for security(maybe).
J C and and a dude named Kevin were let go to make room for a PD. which I gather from the posts of JRY was at WDJO at one time. Randy Furman is Scott Sloan I think everyone knows that -the bits were funnier when Furman was still there.
This is not meant as a knock but when WQRT put Furman on the PPM for the month of FEB went down. Maybe it will pick up if the Reds have an off season.

Hey, I told one and all earlier I work with Furman's (real) brother...he's into TV sales and his name isn't Randy -- enough said..He's got kids in high school here and he's going no where...From what I hear from big brother, he truly enjoys the relaxed atmosphere and "family" of Real Talk...no pressure he says...and I think it comes through on the air...Big Brother reminds me -- Real Talk came after him -- he wasn't looking for work -- he operates Publicity Enterprises, a local/regional pr/marketing firm in Cincinnati.
Mole I think you need to get your info first hand from Andy. His "brother" is not giving you the whole story.
Hey Dean, I just got off the phone with his brother this morning in NYC and told him aboujt your "post" -- he laughed...unless you come forth with your name and number -- and I will, too..you make no sense. Moreover, like the rest of the mainstream media, please stick to news -- and not personal stories and/or attacks.
If you're a real man, you'll respond..in fact, I'll meet you some time in downtown Cincy for a sandwich and we can speak truth to power.
