Afternoons

Mike Missanelli disemboweled Josh Innes. There's really no other way to put it. He more than doubled him. What's more, Innes produced literally no streaming number. None. It's 0. Innes' tactic of 40 minutes commercial free every hour – an attempt to sweep multiple quarter hours – hasn't worked. Missanelli does something similar and goes 50 minutes commercial free starting at 4:50 p.m. It's a little trick stations use to keep listeners tuned in for the next quarter hour, the units of measurement by which ratings are, um, measured. The problem is that, commercials or not, people won't stick around if they don't like what they hear. This is apparently the case with Innes. Not even 40-straight minutes of content can hold listeners. Even worse is that he benefited from three day Phillies games, which often more than double his audience. He finished sixth in the market, and likely would've been even lower if not for the Phillies. WIP has built their lineup around Innes, and it's proving to be a big fat mistake.

I can't wait till that fat piece of shtein is finally off the air. What a colossal mistake it was pinning any hopes on a wannabe shock jock. Idiots. Get someone in there who is easy to listen to and provides content.

not a big surprise that a station that never had to deal with competition until 97.5 came along would make such a bad decision out of desperation. I couldn't/can't stand eskin, but I'd take him 24hrs a day on every station over 10mins of innes.

now WIP has to find another afternoon guy and a morning show.

OJ Made In America on ABC Saturday night?  It was good.  Interesting dark stuff from his life pre Nicole/Goldman murders.

Part II on ESPN tomorrow night.

The rabbit ears provided great reception on Saturday night.

So I guess the rule is wait a month or two or three to ask if anyone watched a show that was on prime time Saturday night.  Is now a good time to bring up the 30 for 30 about the Raiders?  Marinovich?

I see they're playing part one tomorrow before part two
