In New Orleans on Bayou there gonna put John Osterlin on morning drive. The Eagle in BR I would think Condon moves back to mornings.

In high school in the '80s, I listened to them every day. Now I can't stand them for more than 10-15 seconds.

I can't believe all of you actually listen to morning talk radio.

Rod Ryan show or Lex & Terry used to be really good. Morning radio hasn't been good since they moved on.

Oh, I agree, but I was speaking to their show before they went full political. They definitely had a schtick then that was much different.

Moreover, “The Radio Gawds” parted ways with Eagle 98.1 without duly notifying the deities at Guaranty Broadcasting, according to a lawsuit filed in 19th Judicial District Court last month. In its suit, Guaranty says Walton & Johnson verbally informed the locally owned broadcasting group last month that they would cease providing it with grade-A xenophobic wisecracks after December 31, 2016. However, Guaranty’s contract with Walton & Johnson requires such notice to have been delivered in writing before October 2, 2016, the suit states.
quote:
Guaranty says the contract automatically renewed on October 2 for another two-year term, effective January 1, per the terms of said contract. This means that since early October, Guaranty and its sales department had been selling (with, like, signed contracts and everything) untold amounts of airtime and other forms of advertising to scores of area businesses under the assumption Eagle 98.1 would be carrying Walton & Johnson on weekday mornings from 5:30-10 a.m. through 2018. But that assumption, which was based on the assumption Eckstein knows how contracts work, made an arse out of Guaranty, so now Guaranty is taking Walton’s and Johnson’s asses to court for breach of contract.

Could be worse. The Eagle could end up with a show starring two guys named Free Beer and Hot Wings.

If that's how it went down then W&J will have to payup. Better hope they don't get a Democrat judge on the case.

I agree Walton lost his shite when Obama got elected. He was so single minded it left no room for anything else. BUT...
Yeah, it got to be the same show every day. I get it, you don't like Ogump and you don't like messicans.
At least introduce some new characters. The gay guy, black guy, redneck and regular guy shtick was played out 10 years ago.

The story is linked by 98.1's official facebook. Reading some of their comments, they are obviously not pleased with W&J leaving and admit they can't talk about everything that went down.

RedShtick is crap, but the story is true.

I'm conservative, but I'd enjoy seeing them replaced with a pair of Mexican Muslim on-air personalities.

Ok so they're assholes. Big deal! If being an a-hole were illegal 99% of the OT would be in jail. Just don't listen and you can't be offended.
