SYNT - Why do you say "I do not know what everyone's problem is . . ." People do not have a PROBLEM if they do not like The RC Show . . . it is just personal opinion just like you may not like Will and Grace on NBC . . .

Personally I used to be a big fan of RC but she has a chip on her shoulders since the SO CALLED firing and she thinks her shit doesn't stink and she has the same power as O and A to blast management she shoudl just keep her hook nose ass face shut and kiss management's ass for keeping her around to collect a paycheck for a little longer . . .

I agree with the person who said Chuck and Blaine would be a good duo! Then maybe he wouldn't be the male version of Robin!

Ron and Fez are great. But they had a better chance for greatness, when they were on late nights. It was starting to get a cult-like audience.
WNEW needs a new,live, late night show...not lovelines...and the Chick needs to get the boot, reeaall soon.

RF should go back to late nights, because all they do is put me to sleep. Ron has absolutely no emotion in his voice. RC should go back to 10-2 or maybe 11-3. Her show was good when it was 4 hours long. Fire the sports guys and make DM go live from 7-11 in NY. WbenEW could be the new morning show.

R and F are absolutely classic. Their brand of radio is so refreshing. Though I liked R an F better latenights, I think they try harder and get much better listener feedback to their bits. This is a unique aspect of their show where they start a but and just let the callers run with it and make it as good as they can.

Ron and Fez 7-11pm. "Gout Radio"

Dong and Mike should be moved to Sundays nights
from 1am-5am in the no-man's land dead zone of
WNEW informecials where they belong.

And do any of you realize that Tom Likegays is still on
Sunday afternoons at 4... 4?

PONDEROUS! F-ing PONDEROUS!

I hope the sports guys get moved to short wave radio, I really can't stand them. Couple of Good Fella Union wannabes. Fugeddaboudit, they talk about everything but sports.

R&F wouldn't work in the mornings, and I don't think D&M just plain works in a NYC market, maybe Nebraska i a little closer to their demographic.

how about this:

Get rid of everyone cause everyone on 'NEW other than O&A just suck huge hairy moose balls.

WNEW would do better playing music again, then have O&A, then playing music again. The personalities on the station are just an abomination to radio. Sports Guys, Chick, R&F, D&M, they all g'damn suck, and none of them are bringing in the ratings 'NEW wants.

I say abondon this current line up and let's try again. Lykis didn't work, Mason and Kalinski were an atrocity. Time to dispatch this current stable of unfunny people and try yet another batch of jocks, and see if anyone can do anything for NEW or if it is just a curse to work at 57th and 7th.

Ron & Fez from 7-11 should be automatic. It was a bad call movign them in the first place. They're target demo is generally the same as OandA, and based on some of the old calls (when they were on at night) they had some even younger active listeners.

If they weren't to be moved to nights, I'd like them in the morning. But Infinity should just make a move that would benefit all markets: Move Don and Mike to middays. Then you can start a trifecta of the old, long haired man in the morning, Don and Mike middays, O and A afternnons, and nights opened for whoever. Personally, I'd like Ron and Fez there nationally.

I like the idea of R & F from 7-11. I don't understand why people have to try to compare shows to other shows though. O & A and R & F are completely different shows. They don't really do anything alike. It was like that one guy said R & F are silly in an un-wacky way. They make you laugh cause they are brutally obvious about their jokes. You don't have to think about it.

O & A on the other hand make you think. A perfect example is the obscure references. It's one reason why I listen closely to every show, otherwise you won't get the references.

My point is R & F are original. That's what makes them good. I don't know how anyone can say that show is boring. If anything the Radio Chick is dead ass boring. As I said before the notion of R & F 7-11 sounds good, but I say they keep them where they are.

If your a pisces, beware!

Don and Mike are popular in two big markets. Washington, DC and Sacremento. The rest of their syndication empire is podunk radio stations. The Slappy and Whappy show could do the podunk stations. Move Don and Mike to morning in DC and NY and they would get good ratings(very good ratings in DC). Slot in a midday show, syndicate Opie and Anthony to DC drive(they'd mantain Don and Mike's ratings) and put Ron and Fez on nights. Dont see why this wouldnt work and Don and Mike wanna be live in NY so bad, they would most likely agree to it.

In fact, Don and Mike could still be on their podunk stations on tape delay now that I think about it.

Don & Mike's station in DC is WJFK and Stern is on in the morning. Don & Mike are going to move to middays on WNEW and WJFK giving them their dream of being on live in New York. Ron & Fez have been making a lot of comments about a time slot change, I think Opie even made one during the AFRO show the other day. Infinity is heading towards having entire stations of Stern in the morning, D & M middays, O & A afternoons, starting with DC and Sacramento.

Any OandA listener knows that their show is different from Ron and Fez, but they do share a similar target demo. Ron and Fez would be best for nights to continue the listener numbers for that demo. If the largest chunk of your demo are young males (insert Will Robinson reference here), many of whom are in school, it makes much more sense to have them on at night. I'm starting to sound like a broken record.

Let's face it, WNEW is just afraid of sucess.
Think about it, Ron and Fez get ratings, They get moved.
Sports guys get ratings, Scott and Sid are removed.
Chick with the help of O&A got ratings, she gets fired.
Don and mike get no ratings, they stay.
What does that tell you?
WNEW is against sucess. It's a graveyard for show that Infinity don't want to be either sucessful, or shows that are old and tired.

WHAT? The Radio Chick was getting good ratings (the 2nd best on NEW at the time) and then she got fired because Stupid Ass Beck wanted to bring
R&F in to the mid-day slot. Now she doesn't get to bash management. First of all management gets bashed in all forms of shock radio, its like the first rule of shock radio.
#1 Bash Management

Besides that if anyone should have the right to bash management it should be the person who got fired (or moved to a crappy slot) and gets an hour of time slashed from there show.

Yes, O&A are the saviors of WNEW and therefore get away with more (like playing that STP song) but that doesn't mean that everyone else should just shut up. Besides RC have not been that bad on management, they usually keep it in check.

Bottom Line
Sports Guys and D&M should be fired or played on Weekends. Move R&F to 7-11 and then find a new morning show. Radio Chick should get her time back 10-2 or maybe now 3.

-buddy look: once again even though i cant listen to a second of the D/m show they do get ratings in other places, you cant fire them. the sports guys wont be fired bc that means that a new team would take over in the AM which means competition 4 stern, which isnt allowed. flizy great oberservation abut new'dude

I just call it the way I see it.

Keep in mind how many people have come and gone at WNEW.
They even gave Scott Muni, a flagship music DJ, the boot.

I'm not saying fire them all over the country, just NY. What can they do quit the rest of their stations? So what, witchia looses D&M. Besides they know that there not going anywhere, no one else will take them. Theres a reason there not on in many big cities.

Besides R&F belong from 7-11, they don't belong in Middays, if you have to move them back to nights.

Re: Sportsguys
OK, with howard they are kind of stuck. They should be fired though.

i hate this cause this is gonna turn into a lineup speculation thread, but here's the smart thing for WNEW to do

Sports Guys - 6am to 10am - 4 hours
Don and Mike - 10am to 3pm - 5 hours
Guess Who? - 3pm to 7pm - 4 hours
Ron and Fez - 7pm to 11pm - 4 hours
Lovelines - 11pm to 3am - 4 hours (2 hours taped)
Some New Guy - 3am to 6am - 3 hours

APD - Get the Chick to stick her hook nose up your ass because you should get something in return for yours being so far up hers!

SHE SUCKS BIG DICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And with DandM's ratings so HIGH in other parts of the country they do have enough of a bargaining chip to demand to be kept in NY, so they will not be going anywhere. In fact I would not be surprised to see The Chick go bye bye and the lineup of: STERN, D&M, O&A nationally and then R&F at night in SOME (that aren't homophobic) markets across the country.

And how do you know what I am and am not a fan of anyway? I used to listen to the chick when she first came to the station and still do every now and then when I cannot take another ROCK Block. IN MY OPINION she has changed since the firing and remember one thing as OandA put it themselves a HUGE chunk of her pre-firing ratings came from the OandA Best-Of's that were run from 2 to 3 but were credited to her show in the Rating Books!

That would never happen, Stern has said that he WILL NOT MOVE TO WNEW!!!! Though I do think it would be the perfect thing to do.

WRONG!! The Ratings have reports that are divided in to hours, O&A were never a factor. Shows don't always conform to the times set by Arbitron. Besides if CBC werent doing good, why would cheapskates WNEW, give them a bottle of DOM.

Here's an new and fresh idea we've never considered in our wildest dreams:
Send D&M packing, along with Chick (or at least her REALLY unfunny sidekicks), and scour the landscape looking for some NEW SHOWS!
Ya gotta believe that there's a ton of talent out in radioland who are waaay funnier than any of them, who would kill to get on the air in NYC. [Like "Drew & Mike" in Detroit, or those guys in New Orleans that everyone's been raving about]....

WOW a bottle of DOM ($175 depending on size) to a multi-billion dollar company (since it is just a VIACOM write-off)! That is like me buying you a Happy Meal! Anyway, Tell that to Opie who said it himself after the Chick was fired, "Part of her ratings came from our Worst OF from 2 to 3" or something to that regard. So you are saying you know more about Arbitron ratings than the boys?
