What a genius Program Director over at the all-sports 95.7 FM, (The Game)--he recently hired his 27,000th new morning show. It doesn't matter what their names are because the show is terrible. I'm being kind.
I tried to listen. Really, I did. This, (Thursday), morning the new boy wonders had a bit: they spent about five minutes talking about measuring their penis with a ruler.
Ha ha.
Shit, what talent. And here I thought these guys were dicks. (They are, but anyway.)
Well, they're confirming one thing: what a bunch of dicks. New Dicks. The New Sound for Sports? God help us all.

Besides Raiders and A's games why would anyone waste time on this station?
ReplyDeleteBecause it's sports talk radio and this is the kind of crap you hear on sports talk radio, opinionated guys with big mouths.
DeleteRich Lieberman hates everything. He could have written this review without even tuning in.
ReplyDeleteTalking about penis size isn't exactly fine art but it's no trashier than typical 415 Media content about "hot" female broadcasters, their breasts, etc.
The Raiders are not very happy about being on that station, but have they ever been happy about being on any radio station? They've been on KNEW, KNBR, KGO, KNBR 1050, 'Young Country,' Live 105, and now 'The Game' in the years that they've been here in the bay area, (this doesn't include their time in LA). I'm sure the A's however, are thrilled to be on any station. They too, have bounced all over the place since arriving here in 1968. KNBR, KEST, KFRC, and too many other places to mention!
ReplyDeleteDuring the past few years, I've tried listening to 96.7's afternoon and morning shows because KNBR is so littered with ads. I didn't even think it made it to okay sports talk listening. I've given up trying.
ReplyDeleteI've basically given up on KNBR as well because of all the ads. The shows of Papa and Damon on 95.7 can be good and are listenable. And the show on 1050 that comes on at Noon is easily better than the one on 680.
DeleteAnd they didn't talk about themselves like that on The Sports Bleeder? Are you sure you weren't listening to KNBR, the home of Richard Fitzgerald and Richie Radnich?
ReplyDeleteHow about Tom Tolbert asking people to phone in with their grossest story, such as falling on a piece of rebar and having it penetrate your AS_. Don't know if he is still doing those, I don't listen to him, only check to see if Ted Robinson happens to be filling in.
DeleteWait, you mean you actually want to hear Robinson talk?
DeleteDo these buffoons really think people want to listen to nonsense like this? Time to start not renewing broadcast licenses, the public good would be better served to turn the frequency over to 2-way communications.
ReplyDeleteTime to start canning PDs and upper management.
DeleteI was shocked when Lorenzo Neal initiated the topic with one of his former teammates. SMH . ..
ReplyDeleteAt least the old "Bucher, Towney & Huff" morning show had that irrisistible train wreck quality. This Flight 957 crap is truly unlistenable. Chad Doing has a horrible voice for radio. Joe & Lo are just embarrassing. It's obvious the PD doesn't care what he puts on the air since they'll never challenge KNBR's dominance.
ReplyDeleteTowney is just plain horrible, they keep switching time periods for him, but he just sucks. Ray Ratto takes 11 minutes of silence between words and Tolbert can't stop saying " Crying out loud " at least 5 times a show. I am not a lover of Murp and Mac, especially the 90 zillion Grateful Dead remarks, however got to give Murp his due on the final Harbaugh interview and the Prince Dork interview asking the tough questions or remarks.
ReplyDeleteWhenever asked for his opinion, Tolbert prefaces every answer with, "I don't know."
DeleteThere was a glimmer of hope when the Game temporally had Townsend, Matt Steinmetz and Brad Gilbert in the morning. They were a pretty decent trio in the morning. The new guys the "Flight Deck" are horrible.
ReplyDeleteThe Rise Guys were better than all of their replacements.
DeleteChad Dong is a wannabe Dan Dibley, and that's not a good thing
ReplyDeleteIt seems hosts who have even the smallest amount of intelligence there, like Urban, Tittle, Burnstein, Brazil, etc. gets the least amount of air time. That can't just be a coincidence. Dumb topics must drive the ratings.
ReplyDeleteI actually like that new guy Joe Fortenbaugh, seems like he knows more football than anyone else on the station except for Greg Papa. Of course, Damon Bruce knows everything, like how the Raiders were stupid for not drafting Johnny Manziel and Mack sucks because he doesn't have enough GameStation plays.
