Copeland, another example of failing upward. Gets in the door originally due to nepotism. Then, is in the background working off air when Pat Conner says off color comment on another platform and stupidly gets himself fired (really just an easy salary dump by cum-u-less), and gee lil ol' Copeland gets a 5 am on air gig....the rest is our suffering misfortune. Rich, don't forget about that PD who came from 95.7 and promoted Copeland into the slot with Tolbert (can't recall that PD's name, but was fired of course). So we have a guy who now is PD? First order of business, fire himself. We'd be forever grateful. As has been pointed out time and again, he is unlistenable, between the lame "jokes" and his hideous laugh/cackle at his own lame "jokes", his ADHD delivery, his not made for radio voice (garbled, muddled, caught somewhere between his lower throat and clogged nasal passages), and the total lack of meaningful content that spews from him, I could go on, but he should never be allowed to host or co host let alone "program" a show or station. It's enough to make one cue one of his ridiculous hyena cackles, in disbelief.
As the low man on the totem pole, it's hard to imagine Copeland improving or making any changes to the line-up (unfortunately). Seems like his job will be taking orders from the corporate office.
I noticed that my post wasn't published. Did the truth bother you? You're a wimp. At one time, you were good and interesting. Those days are long gone. You kiss as way too much now.
Why are we surprised by this absurd move? Seriously? What are his credentials? I’ll tell you how the guy got the job…he was put in charge because Cumulus, which owns KNBR is run a bunch of ignorant illiterates who pay peanuts. 10-20 years ago, and certainly prior or 2000, Copeland would not even have had a sniff at being a weekend board operator or producer. The whole thing is a sad joke. I was listening to him and the tired, worn out Tom Tolbert the other day and it was truly embarrassing. “ Copes” would be suited for doing overnight traffic reports on a 500 watt station in Modesto. The fact that “Copes” is in his current position is proof positive at how much the radio industry has degraded. His incessant giggling is a sad reminder of how bad a station KNBR has become.
This was truly, without question, Rich’s funniest YouTube show. I was literally laughing incessantly almost from the beginning of Rich’s diatribe. From the moment he shewered ‘Copes’ to the comments he made about Santangelo’s skirt chasing, I was literally in tears from laughing so hard. Right on Rich! Keep ‘em coming!
Leave it to KNBR to make the most astoundingly stupid move in the history of Bay Area radio broadcasting since the time KPIX hired an idiot named Milt Kahn to do sports. As an alumni of KNBR who was around during the time when that station was considered one of nation’s best, it pains he to see how far my old station has fallen. Cumulus has made some ridiculous moves during their ownership, but this one is even worse than putting that abominable Cumulus henchman Lee Hammer in charge of the “ Cumulus Cluster.” That guy enthusiastically followed every directive from the Dickhead, ( Dickey Bros,) enthusiastically. I’m sure Hammer would have approved of this promotion of Copeland with a big smile on his face.
You know what, I'm going to break the mold and congratulate Copes on his promotion! Was it unexpected? Maybe, but it they couldn't get anyone else to take the job, and Copes has been on KNBR for a number of years working his way up, why not give the job to Copes? We'll see how things go with KNBR with Copes in charge.
cope is a joke ever see his unhinged vulgarity and immaturity on X and this is a program director? every orher word on knbr w tolbert is " dude"
ReplyDeleteI’m still shocked the copester is a “program director”. It sounds like a joke
