I hear The Fan in the mornings some, and especially today, it was wall-to-wall interviews.
Maybe they don't have time for listener calls.
I got one gripe, which I hear other interviewers doing too much too:
They repeated the name of the interviewee and give some information about them
after every single question and every time they go from one host to the next the host introduces himself. I don't even remember who it was they were talking to this morning, because every time I heard their names, it was distracting, like they were filling time or thinking people tune in and out every fifteen seconds.
But yall are right, too, that's about all the promotion I've seen them doing, is the 240 name mentions during an interview.....Maybe they should do more promo puns like "fan base" and whatnot....
Okay, one other one: what is with the "we can fix it with duct tape" and "hit it with a hammer" liners? Is that a "man fixing things" reference, or a reference to the station equipment, because I am lost every six minutes when they run those things....what does it mean????? [exaggerated a little]
Okay, a third one: I hear West at North condo commercials on there, too. I heard them on 850, with the "I don't want to be like my parents blah blah blah so I bought a condo here, I love the nightlife and restaurants, I live life on my own terms, I
have a life..." commercials. I'll call them spots like they said not to when I worked in ad sales, because they are more like stains than a commercial, but I digress...that commercial just gripes me, it's not really the station's fault except they run it.
[/rant done for now] ;D
