Anyone else not liking the new 98 Star mornings?

[IrishGal]

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

No, sorry, that wasn't me. TC had a motorcycle that he would ride to work and around town. I was much more a pickup truck/minivan girl.

i agree, I think he is doing the best he can but, it seems that he hasn't made the show "HIS" yet- I'm sure if he had a co-host that we would get to know him better,
t-bone was just funny!
his sense of humor was my kind of humor.

I feel for moon dog though- I think that they were big shoes to fill.

It could have been Kasey Kasem that took over and we all would haved booed it.

Well if he is looking for a partner look no further....here I am

Amazing!

St. Mary's is so primed for a decent radio station! Please, there has to be some venture capitalist out there that can make it so...

The latest merry-go-around that was and is, the local radio stations in a word is; SAD!

I've haven't been blessed with good looks, or a fully functional brain, but...

 

[somd whisper]

Maybe they should do a local talent search….

Question...

Earlier this morning a lady called in to report an accident and they immediately cut her off and went to commercial. When the traffic report came on a few minutes later, there was no mention of it. Why is that?

They're looking for some 10oz buds.

I think, but am not positive, that they've got the commercials set up so that they play at a certain time automatically. We used to do this at Channel 10, which is why you'd occasionally see some program or other commercial cut off abruptly and go to a different commercial.

BUT it's interesting that so many media owners/managers do not understand the concept of content=audience=advertising. They just see the advertising part because that's where the direct dollars are.

I can understand that, but I had hoped to hear where the accident was and if it would have impacted my commute today.

I could write a whole dissertation on lazy automation vs. personal service and how it's turned the media into this faceless, soulless entity.

But I'll spare you.

Think i heard that also.. sounded like a woman saying there as an accident at Gate 1.. :shrug:

Peg road, right across from gate 1. Had a roll back there when I came through.

It's horrible! Station cue tones are off sometimes! Local equipment hiccups! It's all about timing and when someone isn't watching it 24/7 it could go days w/o even being noticed ... unless ppl call to complain. I'm sure traffic reps have a ball w/ all the "make goods"

I was switching stations yesterday during my drive home and caught Yawn & Boner's "forum loser" comments. Boy was it dumb! "Yeah, looooosers!" :

Darn I hate that. The traffic reports are really bad. Someone mentioned a scanner, that makes sense. Is there a reason why they could not use a scanner and have live traffic or news updates??

I don't have a scanner in my car. :shrug:

Sorry about that I meant the radio station.....

But you know your in St. Mary's Co. if you DO have a scanner in your car

97.7 is starting to aggravate me. It's on an endless loop of the same old songs. If I have to hear Creed "One" again today I'm going postal, honest I am. : And that remake song of Darling Niki is driving me insane as well.


That is all.
