McConnell said he and his family are practicing Catholics and that he was approached by the radio station to do the show after Entercom affiliate 3WL laid him off in January. But he said his two-hour block, which last week featured a doctor who specializes in ALS, apparently wasn’t religious enough for the station’s management.

“I don’t know. … I don’t think they knew what they wanted,” he said. “We should have been evangelizing the whole time, but they asked us to be ourselves. I’m doing what I did for the last 10 years, what made me a top radio host.

“We were prepared to expand the religion aspect of the show,” he said. “You want something different? Let’s sit down and talk about it.”

Kind of feel bad for the guy, but maybe he needs to try a new line of work.

Now spud has all the time to get his cups of coffee. I can't stomach his voice! WWL radio sucks. Sports talk down here sucks. I try to get Scott Alexander, but the signal is shaky.

Is Spud the one that pronounces Sean Payton, Sean Payunnn?

Agree.

I think the lack of competition in the market confuses the "radio personalities" into thinking they have a legit following.

A clear channel station in a market where the rest of the stations are broadcasting from broom closets
is always going to have " a good book".


WWL could broadcast dead air and they'd win the book.

No that's Steve Geller.

Garland and Angela's shows are terrible IMO. Garland's is bc he is a pretentious windbag and Angela's is just boring as frick.

I found Spud's show at least somewhat entertaining. I actually listen to the Food Show quite regularly bc I find it interesting and somewhat calming after work.

I'm waiting for Tommy T to just straight up lose it one morning. He is close. From time to time he rants about his ex and few weeks ago was promoting his first date. He will lose it one day, matter of time

Scary looking guy. Does he do anything other than the WWL sports updates at the top of the hour?
