Thanks for the heads up. Several people are now going to the Huntsville FM talk on 92.5 - Dale Jackson, formerly of the Source, is the new morning host up there.
To be honest, the Source hasn’t been the same since they cut Russ and Dee loose. Like ‘em or hate ‘em, they had a following, and several sponsors.
The Source started downhill after Russ and Dee were fired. Half a day of Lee Davis was intolerable. The Attack Machine wasn’t much better (I doubt Dale will be at WVNN for very long). It’s a sad commentary on a station when Matt Murphy is considered the best talent.
101.1 could have succeeded if they had limited local shows to morning and afternoon with some nationally syndicated shows during the day. When given a choice most people who listen to talk radio would choose Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Neal Boortz, or nearly anybody over Davis, Burt & Kurt, or Irwin.
Crawford just had no idea what talk radio is and basically blew it. To have had such power and opportunity and still fail will be a black mark on his record.
Goodbye powerful talk radio in Alabama.
