This doesn’t smell quite right - Beck isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I don’t see that many folks who won’t listen to Beck that will listen to Gallagher.
Beck and Hannity are also off WPHT 1210 Philadelphia in favor of local hosts
TRN wins again!!!!!!!!!!!
ugh
Mike G profits from the campaign against Beck.
I don’t listen to WOR because their signal sux. Wonder if that could explain their ratings. I would choose Beck over Crummy if I could, and I would choose Savage over Levin. Instead, I listen to sports talk or WABC because those are the only powerful signals on the dial.
Beck belongs on WABC, doesn’t he?
No doubt a champagne in paper cups party is being held in the Hut along with a celebratory call to the FCC to keep up the heat and the good work.
I’ve always found Beck’s radio show to be terribly lacking. He’s FAR better on TV, IMO.
We get Glenn Beck here. The talk show lineup on the local major conservative talk station is very strong. There are 3 local hosts who are amazing (one even fills in for Rush quite regularly). Glenn Beck just doesn’t fit in very well. He is so apocalyptic at times, it’s unnerving. I find myself turning off the radio during the Beck show. I have been in touch with the station manager asking him to consider non-renewal of the Beck show or moving it to an earlier or later time slot that won’t disrupt the rest of the schedule. He is definitely considering something as he gets a lot of comments from unhappy listeners.
Some of these stations are so dilluted with national hosts that they’re opting for locals. I was in radio for 25 years and can’t say that it was overly exciting to hear everything so homogenized. Driving from town to town it’d be refreshing to hear local talk.
Hannity being replaced makes even more sense. He’s boring. Talks to the same guests over and over. Coulter, Gingrich, Rove. It’s old and boring.
His radio show did suck in comparison with the TV program. He joked around way too much with that dopey sidekick of his. I can’t believe they didn’t realize they needed to cut that crap out.
PS- here’s a link to watch past episodes of his fantastic FoxNews TV show:

Crummey is just that. I wonder what anyone saw in him that made them think he would be a good choice.

Gallagher was on WABC for about three months after the misguided firing of the great Bob Grant.

My Beck history from years back..FWIW
radio first...ok...it was there I listened but thought he was wacky
TV...liked his history at first till it took on this New Conservatism tone with PC race stuff...and this “I hate Teddy” crap never resonated with me.
radio now...i can handle him but he is an oddball
I own all his books but he is way down my list of conservative likes.
all that said...Wilcow would be a better fit to replace Beck...on radio
Beck works out better on TV and Rush works out better on radio,strange.
I pretty much stopped listening to Glenn Beck’s radio show. Production-wise, it is horrible. He also has those other clowns in the studio and everybody’s voices all sound the same. I could never figure out who is speaking. Plus Glenn has a very childish way of making silly faces (and in this case, voices) to get otherwise, pretty credible points across.
Wow... surprising news.
Joe Crummey is in New York? I wondered what happened to him, I used to listen to him in SoCal back in the early 90’s. He was a comic genius back then. I’ll never forget the home fetal tissue research gag that he did.
