That's okay. I think I am the only one who listens to the radio.

Audacy doesn’t care much about this market and went for the cheap, easy hire.

We could easily have had Sean Kelley.

I literally turn off the radio every time I hear his voice regardless of a game or interview. He makes listening to Bobby ramble seem like a good time.

Should have given Ken Trahan a serious look.

I know it’s high school games, but his calls on the radio are pretty damn good.

I’ll die on this hill and say it should’ve been Sean Kelly after Henderson.

Yeah I laughed at this, but not for the right reasons. It was bad

Graff is really good too. I know people don’t think so but he is a pros pro.

Saints had like a 65% influence on each hire. Audacy/WWL is definitely paying less after Henderson

When you say Saints, who is deciding that ultimately?

The program director at Audacy makes the decisions it then had to get approval from the Saints but it is PD that makes the hire.

Wish Graff could pull 2x duty. He is a truly biased PBP guy which you absolutely want plus he is good at calling games.

Isn't Joel Meyers literally in the building ? Why not do BB and NFL ?

Just doesn’t have the voice for being any announcer.

Maybe he doesn’t want to, but also there would be scheduling conflicts

The crazy part is competent radio guys are easily found in South Louisiana. I can think of 3 guys off the top of my head that probably would have loved to have the job and would have been really good, but for some reason they keep hiring guys that don't have any business in the booth.

He's one of the three I referenced in my post above. I'm pretty sure I remember reading Joel wanted the job when Strief was hired.

There’s a reason he was moved from the sportscaster desk to the newscaster desk while at WWL TV.




Um...yeah, he was paid way more money to be the News Anchor.
