Good Morning And WELCOME!
(Excerpt) Read more at WRKO.com ...
Show is on 6-10 am not 9-noon. They run Financial Exchange 10-noon, VB in the middle noon to 3, Howie Carr 3-7
How about a clue about your post...
I immediately found I disliked VB when he started the WRKO morning show with “Kim.” Their most favorite and oft-used phrase as I recall was: “...I don’t know...” repeatedly, on most issues. Geez.... They really DIDN’T know much about every issue — “I don’t know...” and “We’ll see...”; a couple of uninteresting dummies. I gave them a few weeks, then quickly went to other (conservative) radio options.
I am so happy their dull morning show is now replaced with Jeff Kuhner, 6 to 10 am. Now, I patiently count the days until VB’s off local Boston radio entirely. He is a cringy try-hard, who as nothing practical or insightful to say, yet delights in the sound of his own voice. He apparently absorbed nothing from working for Howie Carr, and for some reason prides himself on being politically “different” on daily issues, but without articulating solid reasons for his deviations — he does it for as a cutesy factor, it seemed.
Within 6 months or less, I pray he will be gone. There is much new talent out there that deserves a chance at that weekly radio slot; he isn’t one of them.
At 12 noon, I listen to Kuhner, then tune into Rush Limbaugh (on a different station) and then back to Howie in the afternoons, detouring VB entirely. Go away, VD, VB, VT, whatever it is......
He’s a local Boston talk host. He’s OK but nothing to write home about (IMO).
I think VB was pretty good as Howie’s producer,as was Sandy.I haven’t listened to him since he got his own show. As for Sandy I know she had a show for a while but never got around to tuning in.
I didn't care for "Sandy" when she would sub for Howie...didn't like her style...however....when she got her own show over on WMEX she tweaked her mannerisms and presentation and I have to say she was fantastic. Unlike kuhner, there wasn't any drama with "Sandy", no name calling, none of this "see what I have to put up with" crap, no talking over crazy libs who called in, she actually let them speak, none of this "get back on your meds" nonsense that kuhner delivers, I read that she is now doing the newscast over on WBZ. I put her name in quotations because I'm sure you know, "Sandy" isn't her real name.
As for VB, I don't listen, he -----> thinks <----- he's "something"...I have news for him!
Since Kuhner moved to early morning, I no longer listen.
At noon, he was far more informative and entertaining than Rush...and no Apple infomercials.
Doug Goudie’s his real name but Howie nicknamed him Virgin Boy (”I’ve never even seen you with a woman—you’re just a, a virgin boy”). (He is now married and has kids.) VB had a night show on WRKO around 2003, the Pit, then went to TV. He was with Fox 25 but got laid off when Cox bought the station.
He wound up back at WRKO. Take note that Howie’s show is independently produced (has been since Nov of ‘14) and WRKO is an affiliate.So VB is paid by RKO owner iHeart (as is Kuhner).
VB (he has said it stand for “Victor Bravo”) said he voted for Obama in 08 instead of McCain but did vote Republican in ‘12. VB= Voted Barack. His Twitter handle is VB The Wise. Or is it, wiseass?
