Seems fine for the first half the day.You all realize that it's likely a station directive for the two shows that make up the second half of the programming schedule to be negative, right? Positivity doesn't bring in a lot of listeners or callers.
That's why I said second half. They want people laughing early in the morning so they keep the radio on. Then, after they've settled into work (assuming they can listen to the radio while on the clock), they want to keep them with serious analysis mixed with a little goofiness. But when they're getting ready to go out into traffic, they want to fire them up so they'll get mad and keep listening to either hear someone speak "the truth" as they see it or to keep calling in the hopes of getting on the air. They want them going to sleep annoyed so that when they wake up they can get cheered up by the comedy antics on the morning show. And around and around it goes.Seems fine for the first half the day.
The worst. Christian is the most talented host on the station. Really hope he lands on his feet with a full time gig.Arcand is out. Last show with Jones tomorrow and Jones goes solo. Arcand will do some weekends and fill ins.
Jones alone? Yikes.
I'd wager Hardy is the best, but Christian's great as well.The worst. Christian is the most talented host on the station. Really hope he lands on his feet with a full time gig.
Oh they’re hurting like every sports media outlet is. They probably saw it as a cost cutting move but are downgrading the talent level. Hope when this gets better he can be added back as a full time host.I'd wager Hardy is the best, but Christian's great as well.
Been quite curious what the ad venues have been like for the past six months, whenever I listen it feels like half the ads are "WE HERE AT 98.5 SUPPORT THE FIRST RESPONDERS" type stuff.
I hope this is temporary as well. They’ve cut basically everything they can at this point except The Golf Club / Hey It’s Hardy (aka the Golf Club Wrap up Show) and 3 hours of Gasper & Murray and The Sunday Service. They had previously already cut out weekend update people.Oh they’re hurting like every sports media outlet is. They probably saw it as a cost cutting move but are downgrading the talent level.
