WRKO changing its early morning lineup?
- Thread starter daveu
- Start date
Hmmm, not sure why since Gordan Deal has nothing to do with CBS News Radio.
Gordon Deal is an independent show syndicated by Compass Media.
Gordon Deal's podcasts from last week are still on the WRKO website.
The implication seems to be that WRKO will be picking up Fox News Radio, and thus is replacing Gordon Deal's show with the FNR product.
At least for now, the RKO website still indicates "This Morning with Gordon Deal" at 5am. But that could of course change.
Damm. When I read the title of this post I thought well Crazy Kuhner is finally going national baby! After all his ratings are through the roof, his phone lines are always blazing and is very active on Twitter. Not bad for a guy who after close to 20 years in radio still doesn't understand how a program clock works .
Isn't that the producer's responsibility?
It's always great to turn off 680 during a Kunhner-yelled ad and go over to 1200 to find that they are also playing a Kuhner-yelled ad.
If I was a sponsor, I'd insist on them using someone who doesn't suffer from voice modulation disorder.
The spot breaks are scheduled at specific times during the hour. Kuhner is the only host I have ever listened to who will constantly take a call 10 to 15 seconds before a break. The caller will get a sentence or two out before Kuhner will interrupt and say " Joe I am up against a break can you hold on and I will come back right to you. After the break, Kuhner will spend a minute or two repeating and expanding on what the caller said before the break. If it is a hard break and the producer cuts the caller off before Kuhner can ask the caller to hold on Kuhner gets all upset with the producer. In my opinion it sounds very amaterish and could be easily avoided by not taking a new call seconds before a break.
I believe they have 7 lines for callers. Unless I am one of the extremly small percentage of talk show listeners that actually calls a program, as a listener why do I care that the phone lines are on fire or blazzing as Kuhner claims two or three times every hour.

It is impressive that you are a very loyal listener and continue to be part of his success in his long morning drive tenure.
As I have said many times I listened to the program for the same reason I watched Lost in Space many years ago. Both shows are so bad they are hysterically funny. And I continue to be amazed that there are s lunatics out there who have so many unhinged political beliefs. If longevity is a measure of success then he is successful. I don't consider a small audience whose average age is 65 a successful program
I think that is strategic timing to get the listener interested and curious about the caller's barely begun topic, and get the listener to stay tuned through the commercial break to hear more. Jesse Kelly, also on WRKO, occasionally does something similar; he starts a new topic or subtopic and almost immediately "excuses" himself into a commercial break.
