Local radio is dying with podcasts and other options people have. It’s something old people listen to. I enjoyed all three of those gentlemen at one point or another and wish them well, especially Kevin.
Substituting local radio discussing local issues with a C-list national blowhard is a terrible move.

So is there any local BR radio talk shows now?

And somehow the Talk 107.3 app mysteriously stopped allowing people to post comments. Apparently their IT department is “working on it,” yet it has been down since immediately after the firings. So mysterious, since it was working fine that morning.

Gordy brooks no dissent.

They were the only radio show that would bring in local officials and talk about local issues. This sucks
You’ve never listened to Talk Louisiana on WRKF?

I'm the same way. Loved the Friday 5 segment every week, but oh well. Guaranty must be losing lots of $$$ somewhere to make this boneheaded of a move.

Not sure what show it was this morning, Brian Kilmeade maybe, but it was milquetoast as frick and I won't be listening any more.
ETA:
It wasn't Haldane btw. It was whatever national show they piped in after Haldane.
If it was right after Haldane it was Brian Kilmeade.
This afternoon was such a shite-show from 5-6pm that the network news at :00 and :30 were completely over-run by filler music from Shillue's show and/or commericals running over each other.
If no one in management is going to give enough of a frick to have someone paying attention to simple shite like this, they shouldn't be fricking with the things that actually did work.

You mean Ed Buggs? I wish this article was about Richard Condon instead.

Profita was horrible, unfunny, and came off as a pompous arse. His cornball attempt at humor was cringeworthy every time I flipped on that station maybe to catch the traffic report. "NEXT, ON TOP STORIES AND TRENDING".
Yuuuuck
Yuuuuck

Agreed. Liked Buggs . Couldn’t stand Profita.

Whoever made this decision is a fricking moron. Why? Because Spring ratings are just around the corner, only a moron fricks with their lineup, clock, format, etc right BEFORE a ratings period begins. If you're going to do it, you do it after the numbers come out (thus you have justification).

Always amazed the way radio just cuts personalities without any real forewarning to the audience.
No shite! They waited until after their show, then fired them with no warning. That's some cold hearted crap which is commonplace in that industry. frick that..

So this Buggs guy is the Kaare Johnson of Baton Rouge?
