    Sorry Chance, but this blows.

    I need the morons in the morning to get me going with their lame jokes and impressions. Likewise, I need the serious sports talk of Rich and Charlie to get me through the 5 o clock traffic.

    Thumbs down.

    I love it.

    Serious sports talk first thing in the morning. I don't want to turn on SR610 in the morning to listen to impressions. Great job, Chance. The only way to top yourself here, is to have Rich and Charlie work the Drive Time show as well.

    per my previous post, I think this may be a good move.

    610 needs to compete with Chris Baker. They need more energy in the drive time. The old guys are old.

    You loyal sports listeners are captive audience anyway so you don't count. You'll listen to anything. They need to capture some entertainment-driven listeners.

    They just need to axe the DP show now, and extend the drive time team 3-6. Presto, effective audience farming.

    Actually, I like this only becasue I would rather listen to Dean & Rog in the mornings anyways, so catching L&J in the afternoon might be good - for me.

    But if I was a die-hard listenter, I would rather have the goofy guys in the morning.

    Well, I listen to Walton and Johnson on my way to work. The few times I have tried to listen to John and Lance, they sounded like bad stand up comics...

    So if we can somehow cut the "mandatory 1 hour of race discussion" out of the show, everything would be fine.

    Exactly. When the talk changed to affirmative action, I switched over to boring FM fools.

    Miguel was right, I just heard a promo for a contest giving away $160k. It was a nation-wide thing though which prompts me to wonder if they are going to finally get a web stream.

    As far as the morning-afternoon flip flop, I will reserve judgement. Though John and Lance seem molded for remotes better than Rich and Charlie. J&L are definitely more personable.

    This blows big time. What exactly was the reasoning behind this boneheaded move?

    Chalk up another "back to Dean and Rog" listener here. Rich and Charlie put me right back to sleep with their monotonous bickering. I could deal with it on the drive home, but NOT on the drive in.

    No Thanks.

    It has to be an April Fools joke. It just does.

    Damn, that is the second one I fell for. (the frist being "your zipper is down") And this one worked through the BBS, I don't even listen to 610 anymore!

    I got a co-worker this moring, wrote a note for him to call Joe Bexar and gave him a number, the number of our zoo. Worked pretty good.

    Not cool! SOOOOO NOT COOL!!

    I washed my hair extra hard this morning, seething with anger over having to listen to Charlie in the morning.

    Man, I love April 1.
