Nothing significant that hasn't already been posted or well-known to those who followed T&R.
It's been a few years since I was in the radio space, but I think April/May is the last meaningful ratings period before September/October. I imagine the show will start out of book, given the non-compete Rich had to fulfill.
That is funny, I assumed it was some kind of local radio train wreck but it’s the kind of schlock that can syndicate i guess.
That’s true. I’ve seemingly been tougher on Toucher than most here, but the single funniest thing I ever heard from them was Fred telling Paul’s audience to ‘fall back on their education…those magic four years on the Tuscaloosa campus…’.
That’s the problem. Rich turns into Jimmy Fallon laughing all over the place, waving his arms in the air and it’s not good. Fred was the best part of it.
Bingo. I’ve said here before that Rich and Ryan Johnston was a very good tandem. RJ was able to reign in Rich’s most over the top tendencies. If he can find a similarly capable #2 he’ll be good.
iHeartMedia stations (e.g. Kiss, WBZ) have studios in Medford near Wellington Station, though some have their transmitters on top of the Pru.
, but a) that’s not a ZLX type track, so I wonder how much leeway he’ll have on the music programming (hopefully a lot) and b) leaning into sports energy in that promo makes me wonder if they’ll dip into sports a bit. Maybe just the Celtics?
I loved Hurley during Deflategate. Not sure how he will be on the radio on a daily basis though. Wilder is a very good sports writer and has good connections. That’s a solid get I think. Ted Johnson? Meh.
Purely a guess, but I think it must be a rotation. All at the same time wouldn't make sense to me.
Exactly. I like all of them well enough as guests or guest hosts. However, who’s going to be riffing during Brookline 911 type stuff? That’s where you need a voice like Fred.
You’re kinder than me. I think Ted Johnson is terrible. Just a bitter, unfunny meathead.
