maybe after another 30 books you can get out of your Parents house!
...i heard the guys that won the contest last saturday. they were not very good either, but they are not completely horrible and worthless as are STSA and charlie & chance (dumb & dumber).
...i don't know why these local shows insist against all logic to have zero substance. making for some of, if not the worst, radio i have ever heard. even worse than some public radio right outside of eureka that i listened to one time on logging. and it was bad.
....wow. i am listening to the sedano show at the moment and a promo came on for charlie and chance and STSA with nate lundy. apparently he was reading an email sent into his address and the email and comments are as follows (though not exact)..."hey nate whats up with charlie and chance in the mornings, they like talk about other stuff than sports" to which nate replied..."hey there is more to life than just sports, maybe go and catch a movie or something."
....ummm, STFU lundy. are you kidding me? there is only one station for sports in san antonio. if you want to have a general program or talk about stuff other than sports do it on another station. but nate, thanks for the advice on seeing a movie and there is more to life than sports, hmmmm....i did not know that, your a freakin genius. but here's the thing lundy, if i wanted to listen to something other than sports i put on ANY OTHER STATION you ing idiot.
...although i did learn a valuable lesson today, it's not what you know...it's who you know. b/c lundy is a moron, STSA sucks, and charlie and chance are clowns. no way, no how those re s got those jobs on their own merit, btw there are over 1.2 million people in san antonio....
Did you email Nate to express your points or are you just venting here?
I never listen to sports radio.
I am sure I am a better person for it.
Listening to Al Franken can't be good for you either.
...both. but i went over nate's head, since i am sure he would just discard it as he does with others....not to mention i did email them quite some time ago, when don harris was with walter right before vexler took over.
...but, i am also venting. keep in mind i have not listened to the morning show or STSA in almost a month....i just can't take it anymore. i am hoping that others will jump in and note the garbage that is their shows and stand up and say something as well. alas...that probably won't happen, since people either don't care, don't care enough to act, or don't listen and don't care. i cannot imagine anybody actually likes the show....so i won't include a group for "them"...
Same for Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity.
I'm certainly in the minority here, but I like the local talent. I think they're pretty funny. Since I'm a woman, some of their stuff is slightly offensive to me and then I turn the station, but I like hearing about the Spurs.
I don't like listening to the national shows because they spend more time on teams that I care nothing about, ie. the Lakers!
...seriously? their jokes are horrible, imo. and they hardly ever talk about sports...its pathetic. its sad when you don't know anything about sports and have to rely on american idle as conversation starters.
Good god I just saw Walter's ugly mug on tv. =/
Now I truely understand the term "face made for radio".
Wow
I just watched it again, about 5 times.
The black guy actually takes a little shot at the white guy first. Watch it closely, they're talking and the black guy seemingly pushes the white kid just a little, and the white kid retaliates with a little harder shove...which is more noticable....
Could be worse.
You could live in L.A. and have to listen to a never-ending stream of mouth-breathers talking about the Lamers non-stop, as if there was nothing else going on in town.
Is Lundy the guy who fired Jay Howard?
No, Jay was fired back in 2001. He was fired from two jobs in one day. First he was fired from the Spurs that morning from doing play-by-play, then when he went over to the WOAI studios, he was notified that he was fired there as well.
The PD at that time was Andrew Ashwood.
i hate jeff vexler....and walter pasa-whogivesa .
I've never understood why there is always the "change the channel" response to this? Sure the guy is venting, sure he can change the station but that isn't the point. Maybe he wants to find people with similar views or even opposing views but not be disregarded completely.
If that is the case why is anyone here venting about the Spurs or any team? Why vent about the restaurants, the tv shows, the movies? Just find another team, another restaurant another tv show or movie and don't post about it.
Simple as that.
It's great that some have satellite or listen online. The point of the thread is the OP's dislike of "something". Point or counter-point or move on.
After my sports hiatus after the tough loss a couple months ago I decided to tune in during morning drive and god help me figure out how this remains on the air. It's by default of course. If there were a local alternative this would not fly past one set of arbitron books.
I don't know why but Walter is the least annoying of the bunch to me. Maybe because he is not as anal and tunnel-visioned as Parker or wet tissue-y and stuttering as Chancellor or overly homerish as Jeff. In any case, I don't see any changes soon. Charlie Parker has been around too long and is just riding some de facto tenure. Their sports opinions and the way they bring them across just does not appeal to me.
I vent here because this is a great forum for discussions with locals who can experience this. I could call and complain but I honestly don't care that much, it's much easier to just do this(plus I'm sure marketing gurus are gurus because they know where they can get the pulse of a demographic 25-35). When I am in local sports moods I may switch on during drive time as I have no other local alternative but I swear I change that dial so quick my radio does flips. ...it is just not compelling radio.
p.s. while I have never been a great fan of the former host of afternoon...don harris, i do have to say I caught an inside scoop that lived up to the billing.
Maybe it was not so much inside scoop as it was intelligent, well thought out and extremely informative with the right amount of conjecture. That to me is sports talk and local at that. Don's scoop on thursday or wednesday, was about Butler. He gave a very indepth opinion with supporting evidence as to why he believes the Spurs have a good chance to get Butler. I loved the connections he made with Isiah being on a short leash and the Knicks owner's dissatisfaction with the way his checkbooks has been mistreated(my very liberal interpretation). You add this to the idea that Butler is a Larry Brown guy and not high on Isiah's buddy list along with the fact that any match of the Spurs offer doubles the price for the Knicks organization and that gives me compelling locals sports radio...So, if this were the norm at 760 I would be a loyal listener.
But again, kudos to Don's segment.

...i...love...you. ha ha. actually, and i am sure you have already read my previous posts, i give my reasoning for this consistant ing. funny thing is, i don't even listen to the show....not even for 5 minutes in the past two months. i was just reminded how much i cannot stand ALL local talent (can i even use that word) just hearing the promos for the shows....on the WEEKENDS. ughh, its like i cannot escape it.
anyway, i always listen to 1420 anyway.....i just want to keep this thread going.....maybe someday, somehow, somebody will read it or keep reading until something is done. i want these people fired....
just to show that i want the best person for the job....i actually kind of know jeff. we both went to alamo heights, he was 2 years ahead of me i think...and i knew jordan (she was in my year and his sister). sorry jeff, but if you're reading this.....you suck ass. get the off the radio...
...i am so jacked up and ready...not to listen to the morning show w/charlie & chance!!!! ....die a slow death girls....
Yes. But that damn Fantasy Football show kicks ass.
...contemplating listening to the show for 5 min tomorrow so i can have fresh material to rip them with. can't do it today as i will busy running around on my bike.
heck this might actually be a good idea; they say something ridiculously stupid about every 10-15 seconds. so in about 5 min i could be set with a fresh posts-worth of goodies. i think i'll do that starting tomorrow....i know everyone here is excited about that.
...oh, and in case you did not hear me earlier stsa and morning show....YOU SUCK!
...its not....bad.
I hereby propose that any thread that mentions the Sports Chick, any thread that Peter Burns posts in, or well, any thread anybody else cares to think about, has a picture of the Sports Chick in it.
...while i appreciate your goal of hot women, and stacy is a pretty cute girl....please don't take away the point of this thread. which is total disregard of anything resembling a sports talk show by the ass clowns known as charlie & chance, vex & walter.
...other than that you have my full support.
...listened to the morning show for about 15 minutes the other day right before the Tony Bruno show on 1420.
umm, they were talking about man laws once you get married and how you don't have to go to weddings anymore, or something like that. then there was a comment made by charlie, insisting that men don't have to go to weddings...they went to their own, or something to that tune. then chance chimed in with how charlie just started about 100,000 fights in San Antonio.
***News Flash*** jake-off! nobody is listening to your stupid show....at least nobody should be. anyway, i about fell off my ladder. btw, anybody know where i can actually find local radio show ratings for San Antonio? but in the whole fifteen minutes there was not really even one discussion or even report on SPORTS!!!
...side note:
chance....been taking it in the rear lately?
