I read that same writer’s comments yesterday. This definitely sounds like someone now active in the industry, who truly knows what they’re talking about. I hope he’s right about the ksfo morning show. I long since gave up on them. I am not their target audience anymore, although somebody in the Bay Area must be liking it.
I was worried about The Barbara for a while last week. I even said the Rosary a few times, praying for her safety. I haven’t done that in years for anybody. About 7pm Saturday I turned to kgo, out of desperation. There was a good talker there. Somebody new, last name Bartholemew. He’s probably lib, but not stridently or incessantly that way. If I’m not listen to the Money Man on ksfo, I will turn to Bartholemew.
I hope Coast to Coast does welcome Barbara back.
C2C just let go of somebody else this Februrary. The guy was John something. John has a great voice, a very deep voice. Unfortunately, he had a tendancy to talk in a monotone. So I often could not understand what the heck he was saying. I would only hear a ‘dark purple rumble’. John liked to play obscure “B” side songs from the 60’s. A mixed blessing. Some of those tunes were better left unheard except as studies in quirkiness. One example was “Lather” from the Jefferson Airplane, a very strange song full of metaphors.
When he started (Jan 2012 I recall) I sent him an email expressing my appreciation at last! someone on C2C
"had named Democrats (and not the usual evil doers Bush and Cheney) I took that as a good sign. Balance! . . . Thanks again and IMO and I fear that if you are not willing to blame the Bush family (Prescott and all of them!) you probably won't last long."
Wells had plenty of "blame Bush" shows later on and admitted it. The critical factor was that he was balanced enough to also have shows dedicated to exposing Obama.
Noory did that one time.. a whole show. That was after Obama signed the NSAA act on New Years Eve (2012 I think). Linda Moulton Howe and Noory did a whole show denouncing the NSAA.
Wells has an Internet show "Caravan to Midnight". I have read his comments about being fired. IIRC and understood, C2C management does not cotton criticism of Obama.
