I attempted to listen to the Saints show with Hebert and Deke yesterday afternoon. I turned it on around 5 PM. There were back to back commercial ads from 5:00 to 5:15 then Hebert talked for about 5 minutes and they went back to more commercials. I turned it off! Does anyone really listen to the commercials?

i dont know how people tune in. WWL's model is so outdated. I timed it once, at the half hour break there was 12mins of commercials and news. They came back and had like 8 mins of show time.


do they really think people tune in to the radio to get their news updates? Especially in the middle of sports talk? its 2017. No one is listening to the radio to hear the news. Satelite radio is already burying them to begin with

If they need the commercials and news in the show, they should just go ahead and do 30 solid minutes of show and then say see next hour while we have 30 minutes of commercials. Nobody wants to listen to 5 minutes of show and 10 minutes of commercials.

AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!!!!

I try to listen every once and a while but never make it more than 20 or so minutes. Terrible radio. BR sports radio has New Orleans sports radio by miles.

Every time I turn to WWL I am shocked when I don't hear a commercial.

I wonder what goes through Brees and CSP's head when Bobby takes 5 minutes to ask them a question and then gives them the answer he wants from them before they have a chance to respond.

how many listeners do you think they get in the 18-30 year old demo? a few hundred? I don't know how people put up with stations like WWL in this day and age.

Good show, but the production quality is not only bad, but laughable. One time Trahan did not know his mike was hot and said "this is a disaster". Indeed.

They have to take commercial breaks from commercial breaks on WWL. Each segment gets through 1.5 callers and they usually ask the 2nd caller to hold while they take another commercial break.

The only time to listen to WWL is after a big win or a big loss. Why? Because Bobby is going to be drunk and the calls are going to be amazingly entertaining.

You should just listen to the night show then. It's got 2 minutes less commercials each break and no news breaks.
