What Happened to Vexler?

[johngateswhiteley]

I've seen him several times at the bar at Silo on Austin Highway -- always 3 sheets to the wind, clothes disheveled, smoking a cancer stick, and in general being an ass-clown who is severely tarnishing the diplomas of all of us fellow Alamo Heights H.S. grads.

i hate that bar, but i guess thats like saying i hate some of my high school mates...lol. anyway, your description seems about right....

[johngateswhiteley]

Ignore what these chidlish jealous asshats like Johngates himself and this other moron.

Stay in the biz Vex.

i'm jealous b/c vexler sucked on the radio?...that makes no sense. i don't think i'll ever leave Missoula, beautiful scenery, beautiful weather, fun people, small city...and most importantly no STSA.

i don't understand people like you T Park, b/c i dislike something i must be jealous of it? b/c the people of San Antonio knowingly/unknowingly suffered through hours of garbage sports talk a day? b/c i wanted something more for the great city of San Antonio and myself? if thats the measure of a jealous person....OK.

vexler, walter, charlie, and chance all suck. why do you think clear channel has started to clean house?...b/c vexler, gray and whomever else sucked ass. it won't be long until walter is gone, imo. but we'll see...

You can apparently add the Thompson Brothers to the WOAI/Clear Channel exodus:

More WOAI exits, changes

Jason and Rob Thompson said today at the top of their WOAI show that they're waving goodbye to San Antonio and their late afternoon "Prime Time San Antonio" show.

Their last on-air day here, from what I could gather, will be Friday.

Morning man Joe "Pags" Pagliarulo will succeed them as host of the 5-to-8 p.m. talk show. As for who'll succeed him on "First News San Antonio," WOAI's Web site suggests Charlie Parker will be returning.

As for how long they'll let Parker settle in there, well. . .as we know he has been moved around at the Clear Channel operation more than a fruitcake at Christmastime.

I guess "Pags" will enjoy the later show as he'll get to sleep in and then gab, gab, gab about all kinds of things to his heart's content.

Pardon me if I yawn. WOAI's known for fixing things that weren't broken. The morning show ratings with "Pags" at the helm are spectacular, yet they're changing the lineup.

I hope he realizes that the evening show comes with a kind of curse, as the turnover has been huge the last several years, despite terrific ratings; first, Chris Duel was yanked and then Jeff Bolton. Now, the Thompson brothers are out of there.

As for where they're going, the brothers gushed and gushed about how this is such a "different opportunity," one they couldn't possibly pass up. Yet, the entire time I listened, they never actually said what it was. Don't you just hate that?

WOAI, too, promised a press release about all this right after the Thompsons' "announcement," after I asked Clear Channel operations manager George King about the rumored changes as long ago as last week and again today. It's 7 p.m., however, and I've been sent nothing.

Joe "Pags" wouldn't comment either — even though listeners told me he actually announced moving to the p.m. on his show this morning. Welcome to corporate radio.

The Jason half of the Thompson brothers never returned my call last week either. . Oh, well. The comforting thing — or maybe it's discomforting — is that WOAI, no doubt, will be going through something like this once again in a couple of years. . .if not sooner.

Anywhere Parker plants his flag is one less option I will take.
Morning drive for me will now consist of a mixture of news from 550 ktsa, 760 and 99.5 kiss.
I thought I heard Parker's gravely voice on 1200 once or twice last week but would not leave it on there long enough lest I suffer a full segment of his inane opinions and endless 'lists'.

Impersonation of Walter: Well, I uh........I don't know about that. I, Uh...that's uh...that's......I'd have to say I don't agree, because that situation is uh..Well, frankly its not uh, its not part of the overall ..solution to the uh problem.


As for Parker, I wrote David Chancellor an e-mail a couple of years ago imploring him not to let Charlie Parker take him down with him into lazy, uneducated, disgusting, underachieving mediocrity.

Parker is inherently lazy and has survived this long by agreeing to whatever is asked of him. He doesn't rock the boat and has no desire to excel in anything but reaching retirement. That being said, he'd probably be entertaining at a BBQ.

Impersonation of Parker: When we get back....YOUR top 10 reasons that I can't stop mentioning Tommy Kramer is my brother in law.

[T Park]

the thompsons leaving pretty much puts a dagger into whatever reason i had to listen to WOAI.

Congrats Management :Tu

[I am Tom]

tmtcsc gets it! That was the best wally impersonation I have seen in a long time!

I thought it was just me who noticed he says uh! every 3 words. it gets on my nerves. I was thinking of doing a drinking game every time he says uh! we drink a shot of crown but i would be drunk in the first 5 minutes and run out of Booze.

Charlie parker has been around since they still did commercials for Levi's bell bottom pants. He probably knows one of the big wigs at clear channel cheats on his wife so he has a life long job security. His top 10 list is older than the 10 commandments.

It really doesn't matter who they put after a week they will have an ego bigger than Tpark's ass and we will be in the same boat for another 4 years.

I heard the 'Sports grind' today they kicked ass!
