How many of you have become former listeners to WWL Radio? This was the go to radio station for news. However, for me, it's become insufferable to listen to. The Tommy Tucker and Scoot segments have ruined a once great station.

You know what I always found interesting (in a piss me off kind of way) ?

You always hear about the WWL 50,000 watt flame thrower station and people up in BFE Minnesota picking up the WWL Saints programs, and I have never been able to listen to the damn station just 70 miles up the road in Baton Rouge without so much static I feel like I'm back in the 80's trying to sneak a peak at the porn channel on cable that was an up charge.

But yea WWL sucks arse now and I rarely if ever turn it on.

Used to listen daily.

Turned it off when they hired Scoot the gay because I couldn't stand listening to him.

Its a tragedy what WWL has become. Local and sports talk programming is awful. It's tragic how little sports broadcast talent WWL has when its the flagship for the Saints and LSU in New Orleans. Baton Rouge radio market has the best sports broadcast talent in the state. Its bothered me that WWL has never brought any of that talent to the New Orleans market as they surely have more money and market reach. I'm guessing the ownership is not spending the money and are fine with the nostalgia audience numbers.

It is quite obvious that Tucker and Scoot do everything they can to be conservative contrarian, and they do so to get people angry and involved in their show, even though they have moderate to liberal leanings, they go beyond and push anti-MAGA drivel, so far as to imply any one being conservative must be an awful person. This fuels anger in some people, they call in or tell friends about it, who call in, etc. Their content sucks so they play a moderate role, all while defending their point of view coming off as elite and aloof.

Didn’t Soros buy this station last year ? If so, might explain their shift

I have to wonder if this is part of the larger trend of regional population shifting out of New Orleans while Baton Rouge continues to grow.

It doesn’t go clear channel until night time. That’s why people were always able to listen to LSU night games far and wide. You can’t hear shite during the day.

But, yes, the station is pretty much shite now all around. Even Bobby Hebert is doing nothing but phoning it in, not that he was too listenable to begin with. Hold the Mayo is doing the NOLA sports talk schtick so much better online now.

Nah, these two vaginas have been spewing the leftist protection racket for years. I used to laugh at Scoot when he up front tells you he’s a centrist then drives right off the road off the wacko leftist cliff.

The definition of “woke”is now absurdly broad for some of you guys.

What was mainstream a few years ago is now being called “woke”. It’s become
just a word to use as a cudgel against someone or something that some people disagree with on a couple of issues…

The only radio I listen to is W&J on my morning drive to work.

You would think that WWL would put someone better than Tommy Tucker in the morning slot when people are tuning in to drive to work. I can only take 2 minutes of his show until I switch to something else.

Scoot has become unbearable twat and that little dumbass that works with him who feels compelled to angrily push more leftist bullshite is awful.

Tommy is swedish with an attitude... pick a fricking side dude and stop double talking yourself.

105.3 only goes on now for LSU games. It's dead to me otherwise.
