Also, to me, taking lots of callers is outdated radio. The callers are mostly painful.

luckily the best call screener/gofer in the business posts here. tell him what you think.

in all seriousness, the biggest problem with WWL is the nepotism.

Buddy died and they handed Sportstalk to Kenny Wilkerson, the sideline reporter. Then Wilkerson got fired and they made Gus Kattengell, who I believe was a producer at the time, the sideline guy and made Deke, who only covered high school sports at the time, the main Sportstalk host.

Kattengell left and they made Kristian Garic, who was also a producer, the sideline reporter. They needed another host so they hired Hebert's kid, who I actually enjoy.

The station seems to have a major hard on for hiring Good Ol' Baws who sound like stereotypical Louisianians instead of hiring decent people who actually have talent for radio.
