(171,756 posts)Bernard Meltzer -a name I haven't heard in a long time. LOL I don't know if they are booting Frommer (and his daughter) or what... Am afraid to look at their schedule now.They had a travel show, car show, real estate... But now... ugh. I caught a bit of Savage yesterday afternoon (his debut at the drive-time slot) and he was off and running... ranting and raving against the First Lady and how dare she stay in Hawaii a few more days at Oprah's house (although a caller mentioned something about Kennebunkport and suddenly the conversation changed from the "Obamas" to "all these politicians"
.
The odd part about all of this is that WOR had generally focused on "local" hosts (like Gambling and his father) and was your "over the back fence" talk station, while WABC slowly got rid of their locals and became a flagship for the syndicated stuff. Now the 2 stations have reversed roles with WABC supposedly going back to "local" jocks and WOR doing "syndicated".
But in any case, the listeners still lose as long as these stations continue to avoid things that locals want to talk about - what is happening in their own backyards and not what Limpballs fantasizes about from inside his Florida mansion.
