So what you are saying is that a GM at some hick AM-er in North Carolina could figure out what Mike apparently can't figure out to save his life (or show, in this case), that Beth Ann is worthless. Is that correct?

It ISN'T that Mike doesn't get it. As has become a theme on the board of late, the key is that Mike is too apathetic (or possibly frightened) to DO anything about it. In his world, effort = bad, status quo = good.

He's forgotten that "it's not showFRIENDS, it's showBUSINESS."

An interview with Liz Smith. A huge boost in the ratings in the White-women-65-85-who-live-in-Manhattan demographic. "I fought with Frank Sinatra, then we made up. I fought with Warren Beatty, then we made up. I fought with Donald Trump, then we made up." I was on the edge of my seat!

This is one of the guys making business decisions for WJFK. It speaks volumes...

JFKer Has Car Mishap While Texting - 3/6 - WJFK middayers Big O and Dukes revealed today that the CBS guy talker's program director, Chris Kinard, recently lost control of his car and had a minor accident while texting on his Blackberry. More soon....


That's pretty funny, until he kills someone.

Well, yes. Again, D&M would get access to Beth Ann on air in Carolina and savage her on-air abilities. Then MOM hires her to "produce" his "show".

As for boy-genius, CK - what was he texting when he crashed his car? I'll be a salesperson from JFK sold a $200 account for the MOMS and CK was texting that the station needed to be paid in cash!!

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

He's probably the one of the texters Mike bitches about on the show. He was probably texting "Mike sucks ass and Beth Ann is killing this show."

MOMS did a great thing by turning me on to the Big O and Dukes show, but that is all they have done for me since MOM got his gig. Big O kicks ass everyday. MOMS seems tired and not interested in entertaining anyone other than themselves. I think that they do a bad job at trying to sell that even THEY are entertained by their crap everyday. Mike is not a leader. It seems that Mike is a "do just enough to get by" type of person. Perhaps he does work at trying to come up with good content for the show, but it just doesn't come off as such. Big O and Dukes work hard everyday to perform well and entertain me, but it doesn't seem like they are working that hard when they get on the air. It just sounds like they are having a good time, talking to each other and to the listener, and entertaining me and themselves at the same time. Mike's show just doesn't come off that way. It sounds like they are uncomfortable with each other everyday they are on the air. I didn't even listen to MOM for the last two weeks and only tuned in briefly because Big O and Dukes mentioned that it was Robbay's B-day. I thought that that show might have potential, but turned it off after 10 minutes when they never really even tried to make it sound like it was going to be fun to listen to. Just another pos show. What more reason would a radio show need to have a hot piece of ass come in the studio to dance and get naked? Maybe they did do that later and I just didn't hear it, but they need to sell it sooner if they want to keep me tuned in.

I miss Don. At least there is Big O and Dukes. IMO, they are the the best show on radio.

DEAR OLD FAN

Get your facts straight if you are going to post!

I worked for Atlantic Broadcasting before, during and after Mike's tenure at WYRE/WBEY and you are inaccurate in much of what you have said about those years. You must not have been too close to the radio stations as you misspelled Syd, Bili and Rick Skarda and/or Scharf. You did spell Glaeser right so I'm guessing you are a friend of his (Mike did stab him in the back). You like writing about bubbamania a lot so you must be connected with that...perhaps the chubby dude who used to dance around in a Mick Jagger suit since I heard Mike blew off your birthday party way back then.

Get it right or get a life. (Well you are right about Mike being an ass)

What's more interesting, and it's a topic we've seen constantly on this thread is: "Why is CBS Radio sticking with a losing game, week after week, month after month?"

Especially when you consider CBS Radio is losing revenue hand over fist.

There's a couple of reasons. First, they are waiting for their contract to expire with Mike, which I believe could happen in April. Second, CBS may be looking for a buyer for WJFK. There may be a change of ownership clause in the contracts that would allow a new owner to start with a clean slate.

> There's a couple of reasons...

If CBS keeps JFK and flips to Sports Talk, the Junkies and maybe BO&D survive, but BO&D would probably be headed for nights.

If the flip is to an AMP music format with CBS or a new owner, everyone is out, and the Junkies maybe wind up on a revived HFS.

But again, if I were making decisions @ CBS radio, I cut my losses with a lineup that's giving me at best ratings in the mid-teens for key demos and hoping I'd make back money from contract terminations, etc. in ad revenue after the flip...

The value of sports talk is reducing payroll. Even with the pay cut Mike took when Don left, I imagine WJFK still has the cost structure of a Top 10 station. If WJFK goes all sports, it will never be a Top 10 station again (not that much demand and too much competition). The only way to make money is for CBS to reduce costs. There is no reason to have four guys on in the morning and 10 people (or whatever Mike has) in the evenings. People are going to tune in for the sports. It won't make a bit of difference if it is four overpaid Junkies or a deeply discounted Steve Czaban-type broadcaster.

Momentum for a format flip is building in a big way. The New York Radio Message Board (a reliable source of info for the NY market), at www.nyrmb.com, has it that...

a) CBS Radio today informed Opie and Anthony that their services will no longer be needed (although this doesn't affect their satrad contract), and

b) their current station, 92.3 K-Rock (WXRK) will flip to a contemporary hits format on Wednesday of this week at 5pm ET.

So although K-Rock was rock music most of the day, they've flushed the last talk presence they had in their lineup. I believe that leaves WJFK-FM as the last of CBS' guy-talk stations...and how long is CBS really likely to leave it out there alone, dying on the vine?

People at WJFK better start learning Spanish, that is where I see that station going.

Beware the Ides of March, Mike...

CBS Expands CHR Rollout - 3/9 - CBS Radio is putting its "Now/Amp" contemporary hit format on NYC's alt rock WXRK on Wednesday. It just put it in LA, on what used to be guy talker KLSX. Could the format appear in DC soon, on 94.7? Also, it looks like former WJFKers Opie and Anthony have lost NYC, their last broadcast radio perch. O&A are still heard on Sirius XM. More at DCRTV's NYC page.....

Say It Ain't So, Joe! - 3/9 - A DCRTVer tells us that Joe Ardinger's weekend "The Joe Show" has been given the heave-ho by CBS Radio's WJFK, as the guy talker increases the carriage of Fox Sports Radio on the weekends. Ardinger, dubbed "the world's oldest call screener," continues that position with JFK's weekday afternoon Mike O'Meara show.....

So which will come first, this thread hitting 71,000 hits (the same number of listeners of Mike's Show) or will Mike's show be gone? I'm wondering if his show might not be gone before then.

WashingTone Locian Wrote:

Wowie, Zowie. O&A kicked off their perch in NYC. Now the beyond arrogant OnA are left to break break with Mel and Howie @ XM - what a f**kin' hoot!!!

Given today's news - I cannot image JFK, in it's current format lasts much longer.

Oh, what's that? My wife heard a noise outside - hmm, seems Chris Kinard just hit another telephone pole while texting!!

CK you arrogant little prick - if OnA can't keep jobs on over the air radio, what sir, oh what is going to happen with the "empire" you and radio genius Michael Huges have built?

ESAD!!

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Chris Kinard and Michael Huges deserve to be fired for letting Mike O'Meara be on the air for this long. The rudderless ship of WJFK needs to be sunk and a new format needs to be born with new management.

They also deserve to be fired for not being able to program a station that has **one**, just **one** program in the top ten for their key demos!!

I listened to MOM for about two minutes yesterday, and it's soooo typical of the "cutting edge" broadcasting: We're going to take a break now and when we return well be interviewing the author of a new book...".

CK and Hughes have allowed their drive time show to devolve into a limp-dicked Jack Diamond clone, full of glorified infomercials and interviews with authors (or other suspect "personalities") so desperate for air time, they'll spend 15 minutes blabbing to MOM even tho his show draws flies.

What a sad, pathetic change from 5-6 years ago when you had Howard in the morning, D&M drive time, Ron and Fez nights... and Redskins Sundays. It takes uber-radio talent like Michael Hughes to totally fuck that up! (Oops, got to give props to 'lil Danny Snyder for fucking up Redskins radio!!)

If the NOW or AMP formats are automated, CBS won't need Hughes and Kinard. They just need a board op and a junior sales exec.

Interviews with book authors is the zenith of lazy producer conduct. Publishers do ALL of the work, including writing the questions for the interview. The sad thing is, Beth Ann can't even go to the trouble of getting an author with a book on the best sellers list...at least from this decade. The capper was when they interviewed the author of "Friday Night Lights," a book from the 1980s. They barely asked him any questions about the movie or TV show. Suck-o-Rama!

WashingTone Locian Wrote:

I guess the problem is: we expect some rational standard of show prep @ the MOMS. If I were the big guy, I'd want to know what treats Beth Ann programmed for an entire week. If all she could come up with was lame-assed authors with books no one is going to, or has, read - I'd tell her to get her ass on the phones and come up with something better.

But - show prep @ the MOMS probably goes like this: "What you got today Beth Ann? On second thought, fuck it, I don't care, we'll just wing it - let's get going, I'm hung over, Carla and I drank a case of Chuck Shaw merlot from Trader Joe's last night...hold on, I think I've squirts!! Someone, anyone - prop the bathroom door open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

MOM, sooner than later the whip **is** coming down. See if one of the Junkies can hook you up with a sales gig @ Farrish Jeep/Kia in Fairfax!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Speaking of book publishers, back in my days in radio I knew a producer who would call all the publishers to get free copies of the books to prep for interviews. The problem is, he never booked the interviews. He just wanted the free books. The publisher contacted the News Director and the guy was fired. Heh.

Beware the Ides of March....

From DCRTV - Junks Sole Stern Survivors - 3/10 - Rant. Remember Rover? How about Adam Carolla? David Lee Roth? Opie and Anthony? They were all among the various broadcast radio replacements to replace Howard Stern, when he left for Sirius Satellite Radio in early 2007. And with O&A losing their NYC perch with tomorrow's debut of the "Now" contemporary hit format on WXRK, they're all gone. All failures. Except, of course, for Stern's DC replacement, the Junkies (right). OK, so they lost Baltimore a while back. But they remain on the air in DC. The sole Stern "survivors." Enjoy it while it lasts, guys.

Would the Junkies have survived in LA or NYC with their ratings? Nope. I don't know what OnA were booking in NYC, was it as bad as the Junks 15-18th place in drive time?

what is funny about braying into the mic and repeatedly asking Mike, "Who are you?" As soon as the braying starts, i'm hitting a preset and listening to some bullshit Styx song on 94.7. Hey Robb (pretentious 2nd 'B'), who are you? Oh, that's right, some fucking douchebag who went to VCU who now claims that he 'could have gotten into UVA or Tech' who now brays into a microphone for a living. And by now, i mean for a few more weeks.

Imaginary interview with Robb Spewak - Q: So, aside from the pretentious 2nd 'B' in your name, what's your story? A. Well, much like Robin Quivers, my primary job is to act as if every utterance (sp?) that comes out of my host's mouth is hysterically funny. That way, you see, the listeners get cued as to how dang funny he is. Without this cue, the knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers won't realise how dang funny he is. Did i mention that even though i went to a college for dumbasses, i COULD have gotten into UVA or Tech? Oh, also i keep interupting bits by asking, 'Who are you?' for no apparent reason. That's the only part i really enjoy. Cracks me up!

How is it Michael Hughes fires "The Weasel" from 94.7 for bad ratings...when its ratings were better than The Junkies??? Did "The Weasel" make more than the four Junkies combined?

No. The difference is Hughes didn't hire "The Weasel" for that gig, he inherited him when he took over 94.7. But Hughes DID hire The Junkies and O'Meara. You know what they say, "Pride comes before the Fall." Hughes's ego is too delicate for him to admit a mistake. He will just ensure that he will go down with these no-talent hacks.

"Robb" Ratings Poison...Yes, I knew the kid was no good. That's why I turned his mike off and kicked his flabby ass out of the studio at least five times a week.

On the plus side, he'd work for next to nothing, oh there was another plus, when he'd introduce "The First Ladies of Professional Football" at 'Skins games.

Once we lost the Redskins gig at JFK, the kid was never right in the head...

If the Mike O’Meara Show has any hopes of emerging from the bowels of the PPM then major changes in format and personnel need to be made. It should begin with the firing of executive producer Beth Ann McBride today! As “manager” for this last place team, McBride wasn’t a good fit in the old show nor has she proven to be one under this format. Work ethic and her ultra-conservative views aside, it’s all about results and McBride has failed to “produce”. Whether the show survives because of its syndication is moot. The honeymoon is over, ratings stink and long-time listeners are bored. Keep it simple Mike. Make me laugh and hire a producer who knows how to. THE MOVEMENT HAS BEGUN!

Join The Mike O'Meara Show cast at Finnegan's Irish Pub in Ashburn as they try to drink away the fact that continue to have extremely shitty ratings!!! Fun with Buzz as he drones on about why Republicans should be blamed for the fact that the Dow nosedives everytime President Obama talks about his economic plan. Listen to the shrill, annoying voice of Beth Anne as she whines about her extreme lack of ability to book interesting guests (and marvel at the XX Large sweater that will, as usual, be concealing her breasts). Take on Rob in the inconsequential 1950's sitcom trivia contest.Be treated like shit by Drunk Mike who really doesn't give a shit about his fans! Plus, the always skanky Buzz Babes will be there contributing absolutely nothing to the event!

It all goes down every single night after the show at Finnegan's in Ashburn (formerly Kirkpatrick's), 8-10pm, I promise, you can find something better to do!

Obama is no more to blame for that than Bush is for what's happening on a daily basis now.How polite of you to call me a dumbass because I saw something you disagree with. Eat shit, asshole.

By the way, shithead, can't we put aside our political differences and come together in hatred of the suckfest known as the Mike O'Meara Show?

Of course we can. Regardless of political affiliation, I think we all agree on that.

This is not the forum for political debate! This thread is totally dedicated to former fans of the D&M show commiserating with each other over the putrid pile of crap that Mike and co. have turned the show in to. So take your politics elsewhere!

Don was and always will be an unfunny asshole.


Obama '12

As we end the evening, I just want to let you all know how much my wife enjoys a thorough fisting during sex.

Thank you.

There are (2) financial mistakes President Bush allowed in 2007. 1: The up-tick rule in excersising stocks held in short position was done away with. This required stocks to increase in value before they could be short sold. Obama refuses to reverse this rule. Then whats called the "Mark to Market" valuation on lending institutions balance sheets have reeked havoc on capital lending. This needs to go but Obama's team won't allow it.I would bet my 1st born he doesn't Know what it is. His Keynsian economic policy has been tried before, ask Japan and most of Europe. It failed miserably. If not stopped at the mid term elections his policies will be economically catastrophic.

Oh Yea! MOM SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

You are not Naru Hodo. I know Naru Hodo and you are not he. You are an unoriginal, unfunny, unintelligent asshole.

Bush is an asshole. Obama is an asshole. All politicians are lying cocksuckers.
Now, back to the MOM show bashing.

I listened to the show for about 15 minutes today and Im not even sure what I was listening to. It was Mike talking in some fake voice (not sure if he was imitating someone famous) and Robb cackling. All I know is that it wasnt the least bit funny and certainly wasnt anything memorable. What an unfortunate nightmare the show has become.

Yes, and DCRTV is reporting news on their front page that the JFK format flip to all sports is just a few weeks away.

Adding to what DCRTV reports, I figure: Junkies survive in morning drive, maybe syndicated sports talk mid-day and Riggo the great #44 will have to roll out of bed and semi-sober up for PM drive. (I don't know if that's a big improvement over the MOMS, but in my case it doesn't matter 'cause I won't listen to whoever is doing JFK drive time...).

Think of how hilarious it will be if you could watch Worthless Rob(b) Spewak, demoted to drive time board op after the JFK sports talk flip, have to cater to a hung-over, grumpy, old guy oozing the stench of another 12 hour drinking binge.

Oh nevermind, that's what he's doing every weekday afternoon at the MOMS! MOM/Riggo samey same...

It's happening!

More Rumors: JFK To Go Sports With Junks & Maybe Riggo This Spring - 3/11 - Don't "shoot" the messenger. Just reportin' what we hear. We get this from a very well-connected DC radio source: "Look for the WJFK flip to occur in early April to a sports/talk format which was previously reported on this site. The Junkies will remain intact. Ongoing negotiations for the other drive time slot will most likely include an ex-Redskin Hall Of Fame player. His old jersey number began with a four and ended with a four." John Riggins did an afternoon radio show on the old Triple X sports talker. More soon.....


DCRTV is usually dead on about these things. CBS is just waiting out Mike's one-year deal. I bet they are also knocking down The Junkies' paycheck, too boot.

January 23 was the original date. The new date for the demise of the MOM show is April 17. You can tell it's coming. O'Meara barely even makes an effort these days.

Makes sense, it will make even more sense if sports/JFK can eventually land the Caps and Nationals. I agree the Junks will have to take a $$ hit, I doubt they're going to be rewarded for thier at best luke warm PPMs by CBS. They'll be like the rest of us now - lucky to have a job...

As for the MOMS crew:

Rob(b) - it's back to being a board op, or better yet, maybe you can land a gig on am radio with a Saturday morning used car infomercial show - adding a Spanish languge segment would help!! Two words: Rosetta Stone.

Beth Ann - despair not, girlfriend, there are plenty of carpet/tile joints in western Fairfax!

Buzz - call Donnie in the OC quick - maybe he can land you some voice-over gigs for the shore bars, but don't dally, the season's just around the corner. If that fails, maybe you can land an afternoon DJ gig at Seacrets (good tips, lots of young poon to leer at...).

MOM - hit the bottle.

Carla - Where did you put the g-string with the little sparkely things?

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Don't worry about Carla. She'll find herself another fat drunkard...but with a JOB!

How much do you have to make to get a Carla?

13 4826 0948 82695 25847. Yes.

more than she can make stripping in her home state of Pennsylvania.

Well, shit, I could have a job at McDonald's then.

I'm not sure why, but objectifying Carla like that makes me laugh out loud. Like, "get an oil change."

It's kind of like referring to Carla as a trophy. For instance, getting an Angelina Jolie might be like getting an Oscar. Getting a Jennifer Aniston might be like getting an Emmy. And getting a Carla might be like getting a case of The Clap.

From DCRTV - Change Coming To PGC? - 3/12 - Is something big going to happen to CBS Radio's urban contemporary WPGC (95.5 FM) on Monday? This graphic (right) at wpgc.com mysteriously suggests that something's up. WPGC hasn't fared too well in the new Portable People Meter electronic radio ratings, which debuted in the DC market last fall. And CBS is busy flipping some of its non-performing stations around the country to an "Amp/Now" contemporary hits format. Might CBS be tweaking PGC to better compete with Clear Channel's contemporary hit Hot 99.5, which placed 4th in the latest PPMs? A source tells us: "No format change. Personality change. At least one if not more".....


Beware the Ides of March!

CBS is changing WPGC on Monday for bad ratings (WPGC is ranked 7th, while WJFK is rated 22nd).

Oh, yeah. CBS is definitely going to be doing something about WJFK in the not too distant future.

Listened to about 10 min. and there was a funny bit 'the drunk irishman' - flashes of the old days as Mike did some very funny rifs as a drunkard. Rob fucked it up by trying to compete for laughs and he failed as straight man by laughing too much and too loud himself (hey Rob you are the straight man not the fucking audience). Anyway MOM was genuinely funny on many ad-libs.

Mike has occasional flashes of brilliance. But, as I said before, I'm not into digging through chunks of shit to get the occasional kernel of corn.

> Mike has occasional flashes of brilliance...

Well said. I heard the angry drunk Irishman bit also, but didn't stay 'til the end. Bits should have a beginning, middle and end - there's no problem with ad libs, but this bit was like everything else on the MOMS - half baked.

And Robb, when he gets the mike in his hands, can't/won't shut the f' up!

Doesn't matter now, the whole talent-deficient crew may survive, but if so, it'll likely be a low, low, low-paid players on some zero-watt am shithole, never, ever to be heard of again - unless Donnie G. decides to throw them a bone!

WJFK must really be hurting for money. I noticed yesterday evening that they are now repeating the Big O and Duke show at 7pm to fill time.

It is a move to save money, and I guess JFK management thinks we just can't get enough of their sick talent. I think they also air the Junks and MOMS "best of" moments from 7pm to 9pm. Don't know for sure, I don't listen to hardly any JFK programming - I'd rather spend time at the Underground that is Fairfax...

Does anyone remember Michael Hughes's brilliant broadcasting decision to fill the hour between the end of The Junkies and the start of Bill O'Reilly by bringing in Ron & Fez live for one hour at middays? What a complete fucking JOKE Hughes is.

My impression was that was Donnie G.'s decision, at that time he may well have been JFK's program director.

In any case, Ron and Fez were never used well at JFK, the one hour mid-day show never gained any momentum, and as it was an intro into O'Reilly, who ever listened?

Ron and Fez never had any love for Hughes - he never gave them the mid-days they deserved in deference to O'Reilly and he fired them when he didn't have any remotely comparable talent on the bench.

A couple of years ago after Fez had his first heart attack, Ron told him Michael Hughes had called with his best wishes on their XM show. Fez's response was "so what?". The whole JFK mess led to Fez's famous (if you are a R&F fan) quote: Never bury me in Fairfax!

Fez was was responsible for some good radio @ JFK, he got drunk with D&M during and Absinthe (?) and insulted Beth Ann McBride and her daughter and had to apologize on air the next day...

Those were the days...if you are a R&F fan...

Momentum is building!! From DCRTV via E-Rock @ OnA:

More: JFK To Go Away On 4/1? - 3/12 - Uh-oh. From the Twitter account of E-Rock from the Opie and Anthony show: "Just In - April 1, bye bye WJFK." DCRTV has been reporting rumors that CBS Radio will be dropping the guy talk for sports talk next month. More soon.....

It would be a good idea to wait until April 2nd or 3rd to celebrate.

I really don't expect any changes from a radio station that has fucked up every programming decision for the last five years. **Anticipating** change and monitoring this thread is much more enjoyable than anything on JFK, especially from 3 to 7pm.

Let's consider the assessment of "NONAFan" at wackbag.com as he offers his/her view of JFK/2009:

"That station is absolutely talentless. Their morning drive show is a half-dozen 40-something hayseeds from the DC ex-urbs speaking an indecipherable gibberish in a desperate attempt to seem hip, followed by a younger version of the morning show (only less funny, if that's possible), then the unfunny half of what was once only a moderately funny show, with some random sports news batting clean-up at night. Its a real shitshow. Its good to see them close up shop for no other reason than it may get their terrible jocks to think about trying another profession."

It's Opie and Anthony and it is April 1st...April Fool's Day.

Not that it won't happen then, but keep it in mind.

Talk about dead-on.

Let's not forget about the brilliant programming decision to air the Penn & Teller dude. Talk about a borefest.

Bye, Bye Mike. Deadman Walking......

Hey! Tomorrow, they'll be talking to Kevin Meaney! Good job scoring a comedian who had very moderate popularity in the late 80's-early 90's! That'll get those numbers moving in the right direction.

Kevin "Fucking" Meaney? WTF? "Very moderate popularity" is being charitable at best.

What happened? Was Beth Ann unable to cut through the throngs trying to interview Louie Anderson?

Don and Mike were fucking terrible. I was so glad when they were thrown off the air after their brief stint in philly, and then I had to move here and hear their dumb asses more.

There is a rumor going around that Mike WILL NOT be given a last show! I guess that Mike's vacation is coming up and upper management has been told to string him along until then. He will be paid for the time left on his contract (not a lot of time left there) but his show will not be on after his vacation. The rumor has it that Mike will throw a big fit if he knows for sure his show is being canned and upper management is afraid he will start showing up 1. More drunk than he is now 2. Looking for fights 3. Sabotaging the new sports format. They just don't want to deal with that so they are letting Mike go over his vacation. NO FINAL SHOW! That is the rumor, take it for what it's worth. It will be interesting to see if Mike has a vacation coming up. If he does, the rumor might is probably true.

Sorry, I'm not buying this one. CBS will handle any termination (if it occurs) like other companies. 1. You change security codes that allow access to your facility; 2. Terminations usually contain a severance/buyout payment, a condition of which is that you stay away from your former place of employment.

If this all comes to pass, I doubt a lazy slob like MOM will care if he doesn't have to return to the JFK studios Fairfax, he'll gain soooo much more valuable drinking time!

I saw many firings and lay-offs when I worked in radio. The radio industry isn't like other industries. They typically don't let people back on the air when they know they are being fired because they don't need the asshole dropping f-bombs on the air or talking shit about management or advertisers. I can't tell you how many times people I worked with found out they were losing their jobs via a phone call the night before they were supposed to come in. It's a tacky, classless industry.

Just like working in information technology - companies don't treat IT workers much better.

It would be hilarious to see the MOMS outsourced by CBS to a station in Mumbai!!

I think somebody from Mumbai couldn't be any more inscrutable than Robb Spewak's attempts at humor.

"Who are you?" Like, seriously, what the fuck is that supposed to mean?? And why is it supposedly funny??



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/13/2009 09:39AM by WashingTone Locian.

I think O'Meara's contract is up April 11, that is when Don left last year. If he has a vacation between now and then, I can see the station telling him just to stay at home. Two weeks of Best Ofs and one week of O'Meara back in the studio bitching about WJFK, it's just not worth it to them.

Let's give Rob(b) the benefit of the doubt - maybe he's asked MOM that 1,000's of times as he tries to revive him from an alcohol-poisoning induced coma!

It's been said before on this site many times, we know why Donnie G. kept Rob(b) off mike much more that he was on.

MOM, Rob(b) and Buzz are in on some in-studio joke that's not making to the listeners...

Or maybe Robb is like the rest of us and can't figure out who Mike is supposed to be impersonating half the time.

The last two posts made me laugh.
