Anyone else not liking the new 98 Star mornings?

[Chasey_Lane]

I thought he's been in the business for like 15 years...

Right and when you've built a reputation as "such & such" why would you start going by "McSomar" to appease the minions?.

Do you wonder how a dj can go from San Francisco (major market) St. Mary's County (uh...) in one move?

My wife told me she heard an ad on 98.3 this afternoon for Don and Boner. It appears that he thinks everyone who takes part in forums is a loser. I guess his participation is proof that he's at least partially correct.

Has anyone else heard this ad? 98.3 makes my ears bleed, so I have not heard the ad for myself.

Now, I wonder why he would insult the people here.


After everyone was so nice to him.

First off, to fix your "signature" add a "[" in front of "COLOR".
To read responses to your posts, you get the email notification, then you go to the thread you posted in and scroll down to your post, and then read any posts made after yours.

I hope you're not radio Dawn who's telling her listeners what losers forum posters are, when you aren't even familiar with how a forum works.

I know that I'm not a cunning linguist, but I'm fairly certain that (in American English) the following phrases:

"You suck"
"You're boring"
"You're T-Bone and Heather wannabe losers"


don't actually qualify as "nice". Even if they were meant as "constructive criticism", most people take offense when you tell them they suck at their job.

I mean when he first started, I thought we welcomed him.. Am I wrong?

Yesterday morning about 8:50 am when I switched to 98.3 I heard Boomer specifically say (well, yell), "Message board losers!" before they cut to commercial...

Some did, and some acted like asshats.

First of all, let me say that I do not endorce insulting your potential listenership on the air (unless that's your shtick : a la Don & Mike), especially in a market like Southern Maryland, where the market isn't very broad to begin with.

However, I can definitely see why they might have an attitude about the people here.

You don't get anything when you Google "Moondog" either. Maybe the station gives them names; not the other way around.

Can't speak for Dawn & Boomer, but I can tell you that Moondog Michaels was at least the THIRD Moondog at 98.3. When I was there we had two previous Moondogs. T-Bone of "T-Bone and Heather" was at least the third T-Bone as well. The first T-Bone was when the station first came on the air back in 1988 or 89...the second T-Bone did the "Beatles Brunch" in the 90's.

I guess that makes them super mega man losers then if they're getting upset over a few insults from so said message board losers

Okay.

And *some* people use it as an opportunity to see their weak points and improve.

You may not know this, but I'm not the first Chasey. I recycled the name. :shrug:

Pretty funny that people choose a career dependent upon public acceptance and forget to bulk up on some thick skin.

For real. You don't see Howard Stern crying about people saying mean things about him. Or Rush Limbaugh, for that matter. They say, "Thanks for the ratings" and count their money.

Let me just point out that I didn't say I agree with it. I just understand it.

Are you the one who used to ride a 750 Honda, or was it a Sportster?
