It is becoming apparent that the Team is struggling to find decent on-air personalities to fill their slots.
Thankfully, they're running a lot of syndicates from Sporting News Radio, and the three-hour Romey bit which runs nationally in the US.
Anybody actually listen to the station? I allude to Jinky's comments on the stale wafer that is the morning show.....just an awful collection of on-air 'talent' starting with John "The Least" Connors. Thankfully they put C-Ball out of his misery and gave him the proverbial fish-hook. Now he can concentrate on working in the remaining 534 unworn turtleneck sweaters to his nightly Score telecasts. He was so bloody awful - I recall one particular segment where Connors and Cybulski were deeply entrenched in an argument over which snack - nachos or fried chicken - was the superior sports food. "You gotta go with the dirty bird, bay-bee!" Give me a fcuking break. I think they were culling Martha Stewart and The View in search of hot debate topics for their morning show.
Pratt and Mojo aren't bad. Somehow Mojo has compiled a pretty decent blackbook of sports personalities, and he can land some interesting guests from time to time. Crap, he had Phil Sims on a week before the SuperBowl last January. That's not bad. Their three-hour show is probably the best thing the station has going for it. Pratt comes into our hotel bar half-cut all the time and lands some pretty sweet cougars, so I respect him for that, if nothing else.
"McKeech" is a bumbling fool but he pulls in better guests (hockeywise) than anybody else on the station. He's got a nasty stuttering problem and tells way too many stories that go nowhere, but if you're into weekly BCHL updates and lots of funny Howie Meeker tales, he's got something to offer.
But, as far as quality goes, the imported syndicates seem to be the best thing going for 1040. Kevin Wheeler is excellent, although a little too keen on college football and the University of Miami.
