Why do "The Junkies" have a radio show? WJFK needs to get rid of them. They are amateurish at best and a waste of advertisers' dollars at worst.
Yes, I know Ron and Fez are gone. But seriously, in a metro area of 5 million people JFK can't get a group of guys on the air that don't sound half-retarded? Please. Do the JFK management think this is Roanoke or something?

MrDoctor, if you haven't ever listened to Don and Mike, shut the hell up because your "opinion" means nothing. Ever heard the saying that it's better to say nothing and have people think you stupid than to open your mouth and erase all doubt? Know it, learn it, love itass.

Think all talk radio blows. Can't believe people listen to others speak their minds over pointless issues. Think for yourselves. Yor're letting the media dictate your thoughts and opinions. Even when you do listen, within a week or two they will be talking about the same topic in some manner. Boring!!! Half of you sound more intelligent than all of those guys on the radio.

America has become a nation of whiners, not doers. That's why the whiners on talk radio have all been successful. Rush, Hannity, D&M, Stern, Franken...none of them have contributed anything to society, except the pushing of Trim Spa and Veromax.

I think they went to XM. Too gay for JFK, I guess.

They stopped being the Sports Junkies about six months ago. Instead of talking about Dan Snyder and Ted Leonisis, they now talk about their personal lives and the policies of George W. Bush. Their "intellectual insight" is fucking ponderous.

Opie and Anthony are on XM 202, along with Ron and Fez in about a week. I think the Junkies dropped the "Sports" when they went to HFS to do mornings.

God damn it, I am getting Sirius in a couple of months waiting for Howard but now I also want XM to listen to O&A and Ron and Fezzie. I take it there isn't a receiver out there that makes it possible for me to have both XM and Sirius right?

What really sucks is that they cut the last hour of Howard for those morons. As soon as their crappy pseudo-rap comes on, the radio goes off. God, I hate them, the only other show that comes close to sucking as bad as them is the Phil Rosenberg Show. Howard, Don & Mike and G.Gordon Liddy were the best on WJFK, I have been so sad since they changed from that lineup! The rest of radio is absolutely unlistenable, the only thing left is talk! If I have to hear another song by Beonceye or however the fuck you spell it, I might puke...anyways, please fire those retards, bring back Ron & Fez to fill that slot, or better yet, replay Howard's whole show.

You know what is worse? Collin Quinn's new show. Holy crap! The guy got fired from Comedy Central for a reason. He has turned into a clueless, hateful, conservative bore like Dennis Miller. I'm all for political humor, but this guy doesn't have ANY humor. And he sounds like he has no f-ing idea what to do on radio. Yes, I know he is a bitter old f-ck because his buddies on Remote Control like Dennis Leary and Adam Sandler went on to fame and fortune while he continues to be a boring loser, but still.
Radio has really gotten bad in recent years. It seems like anybody who walks into a studio can get a gig nowadays. Can't wait to hear the train wreck that will be the David Lee Roth Show. How many weeks do you think it will be before the guy just stops showing up for his show? Six? Eight? This should be good.

That will be a ratings disaster. I hope Michael Hughes has his bags packed, because he will lose his job over that one.

Last week Don And Mike were hinting they had new material for their show for the first time in years (I don't count his wife as "material", well, not like Don does anyway)
The material? They want to take on the comments made on the internet, presumably on this site as well. Have fun with that, dopes. Bring it on.
Still better than listening to the Sports Junkies talkin' hoops with Governor Erlich. That guy is a total asshole and a world-class shitty politician.
And even still it beats the "rosenberg semitic confusion show", where jews are talked about in total measure. JFK has slowly started going religious.

I fully expect JFK to be Spanish-language or Hindi by this time next year. It is being managed into the ground. How do you take Howard Stern, Bill O'Reilly, mix it up with the infantile Don & Mike and a bunch of derivative D&M clones and think that is the way you program a radio station? D&M like to brag about how they are 45% of the station's revenue. The station must make absolutely no money if that is the case.

In those 9 years, the Junkies have made $3+ million if what everyone says about their salaries is true. Yet you losers are still writing on a message board about how much they suck. Hilarious. They have only gotten more successful as the years have gone on. Radio show, Table Manners TV show, on Fox 5 every morning. Even their geek movie reviewer/stunt guy is blowing up on local and network TV.
