I would axe:

Tommy Tucker - creep
Garlandfill - boring and sounds like he's gargling marbles
Deke "Big Chief" Bellavia - curt with callers and horrible coon arse accent
Scoot - milquetoast radio

I would keep the following, with some having expanded or contracted roles:

Dave Cohen - king of news breaks at the top of the hour
Bobby Hebert - entertaining color guy
T-Bob - best thing 870 has going for it
Steve Gellar - guy gives one hundred and chwenty percent effort on sports news breaks
Kristian Garlic - Did you know he was in the Corps? Need that veteran presence
Seth Dunlap - best voice on New Orleans radio, needs an expanded role alongside T-Bob
Tim Zimmer - runs master control

To improve content and overall quality, I would add:

Eric "Slasher" Asher - brings more wide ranging sports talk
Gus Kattengell - sports takes
Kaare Johnson - premiere talk radio host in New Orleans, deserves a prime slot on the mothership station
Spud McConnell - someone needs to fill the late night slot

As long as Kaare is around, I'm happy.

I like your lineup except for G Kat. He's terrible.

So you conveniently left Dick Hunter off your list.

You hiding your envy for Dick Hunter?

I agree about Tucker, Garland, Deke, and Scoot.
Cohen I am not too fond off. He seems to revel in bringing bad news.
Bobby Hebert. I would can him yesterday. Always interrupts callers, takes 20 minutes to ask a question, and is overbearing. Always talks of his NFL days as if he was Tom Brady. I hate him worse than Deke and Deke is a dumbass.

I would agree with adding Asher and Kattengell. NO to Kaare and Spud.

Who's that guy who sounds like he's ridden with the obesity/diabeetus talking about the "blue cwab oystah bawh". He seriously sounds horrible, like he's about to croak.

I actually like Scoot a lot. His views are controversial to most Louisianians (since he seems to lean a little left). But it's refreshing to have a difference of opinion and he is always respectful with his callers and generates good dialogue

Though he has now passed away, Charlie Douglas and the road gang was awesome back in the day

T BOB is the only thing that radio station has going for it. Everyone else is terrible. They need to bring back spud and kaare.
