What is so hard to figure out?.....................Any program director or Talk show host would read the blogs and forums for the last 10 years they would have this figured out by now.
The radio hosts needs to leave the egos at the door and stop acting like the callers and listeners are lucky to the few worthy individuals to be able to hear your great wisdom.
First off...don't treat the listeners like they are sheep. They already know about Gumba's Pizza and triple AAA AUGER Plumbing. Stop acting like these companies that pay to be on your show are the best things since the www. Enough already! Just say they are good stop acting like you just called them last week to unstop your toilets and they were so fast and courteous! You notice how every talk show host in this city has to call AAA AUGER Plumbing once a month? And enough with how good Gumba's pizza is!
The average radio listener is going to order Papa Johns or they already have a frozen pizza from HEB in the oven. I once went to Gumba's Pizza and I mentioned Walter like he said on the radio and they were like "who's Walter?" I felt like a fool.
At least I can honestly say I never took one drink from Body Solutions. Charlie and Chris acted like that cured cancer the way they pimped that over the airwaves every 30 minutes.
Second: Stop with the good cop bad cop radio routine! That is played out. I am so tired on one talk show host loves Kobe the other thinks hes a . And thus we have to hear to s going at it for an hour..."Oh come on Peter you really wouldn't want Kobe as a Spur?" Are you serous Andy that sorry Rapist will never be a spur as long as I am a fan!" "what about Bret Farve? The Cowboys can use him Jim Bob! Oh come on Mike Bret farve is past his prime!" "Lets let the callers decide...Do you think Farve should be a Cowboy call 736-(760 or text in the words Yes if you use sprint just dial 1897 and press 2 if you think Bret farve is washed up or Press 1 if he could help the Cowboys" and the goes on like that for hours.
Third: Stop making the callers wait on hold. these people took the time to not only listen to your sorry ass show they are calling in? Some of these people have jobs or cell phones that charge by the minutes. I am so tired of hearing "when we come back we will talk more about Tiger Woods...Steve,south side Mike, and Dale the cab driver we see you on hold we will take your calls in the next segment...(cut to 8 minutes later after a few Plumbing commercials) "ok we are back and will get to your calls but first lets talk about this Bruce Bowen deal is he worth 5 million?" "well Andy here what I think.......(8 minutes later) ok lets go to the phones how about Dale the cab driver he's been on hold for 2 hours lets go to him... o Dale what's on your mind?....(pause and dial tone...) "ok we lost Dale lets go to Janet on line 4 Hi Janet! how do you feel about Bruce Bowen leaving the spurs? " " o Peter I wanted to respond to the Bret Farve situation you guys were talking about 2 hours ago...." "You see______I____Thi......"
Oh oh!... looks like Janet's cell phone has a bad signal try calling back Janet with another phone..." well lets take a break, when we come back we will talk to Gilbert Dias a towel boy at the SBC center lets get his takes on this Bruce Bowen situation....Steve,Billy and Debra we see you there stick around we will get to your calls after this short break....."
Another thing: Stop acting like there is not another Sports show in San Antonio. It's so childish to hear the sports hosts in this city always reefer to the other station as..."well there is another station and they claim Bruce is going to be a spurs But we will wait before we say anything.. and stop acting like you can't say (SPURSTALK) you hear everyday "well i read on a Spurs site that....." what is the big deal about telling the listeners where you surf for info? Just like when someone gets fired the radio stations don't say anything they just want you to act like Walter,Jeff,and Jay Howard never existed.
Also: Stop using cheesy tactics to get people to visit your website..."hey Jason did you see Eva Longoria's camel toe? I posted the photos at our site, just log on and click on the babe of the day and don't forget to answer the daily question. Today's question is....Do you think the spurs should go back to the Taco Cabana colors?"
Posters on the www know already what websites suck, and they post at the sites they enjoy reading not a site that is there to sale them something or promote the station.
When the radio hosts in this city start treating the listeners like real people who are above the age of 21 and not like some horny 16 year old they may break new ground and actually become a decent talk show.
