Any ideas on the new show?


Only that it will be "local" and start on the 9th..... hopefully it's not Condon.

Their act got really old when Obama got elected.


So they did talk about other topics other than illegal immigrants? Like you with Obama, it has nothing to do with whether or not I support whatever.. on illegal immigration.. This was probably a year or two before Obama was even elected, but everything they said had to do with illegal immigration to the point they would pretty much repeat themselves.

Like someone else said, I use to like them in 1999, 2000, 2001ish when they played stupid songs and didn't take themselves as serious.. but when they moved to Houston I couldn't take them anymore.

I agree Walton lost his shite when Obama got elected. He was so single minded it left no room for anything else. BUT...

What other show would you listen to that wouldn't suck way more than W&J? I agree with everyone's criticism. But there isn't a single show on terrestrial radio that isn't worse than theirs. Play more music? Like what? Country? Pop? Rap? I'll stick to my iTunes, thanks.
I hate to see them go. They're old, worn out, and play to the "lowest common denominator", but they're still better than anything else on the radio in this mkt.

They blast all presidents. I started listening to them during george w more regularily, but to have a 4 1/2 hr morning show you have go expect them to talk about the same things quite often.

Whoever was on 98.1 right before w&j was good. I think it was local. W&j were good till it turned to nonstop obama and mexicans.

This. Their show started going downhill about 10 years ago and completely fell off a cliff after Obama was inaugurated. They simply couldn't help themselves but talk about Obama incessantly. They stopped being funny and just got depressing.

It's really weird they're leaving 98.1

98.1 is the local white trash radio station and W&J absolutely dominates the BR morning market.

It was a match made in heaven.

Hmm interesting they would put local on at the same time as your morning drive. I guess for them ratings for the company as a whole is all that matters
What does this even mean?

Same question: who are you gonna listen to?
As bad, redundant, and bitchy as W&J may be, what do you think will be put on in their place? Big D and Bubba? Ryan Seacrest? Culotta and the Prince? Condon? Maybe some talk show that laughs incessantly at their unfunny banter?

frick that. It will be interesting to see what Eagle can offer. They're regular prigramming isn't exactly riveting so I'd say careful what you wish for.

If Eagle puts Condon on in that slot they deserve to go right down the shitter. The only show more annoying and insulting than W&J is that fricking turd. Why they ever brought him on is a mystery. He's not even remotely funny. Just a raging douche asshat.
