I'll say this much. Prior to 25 and Shannon I was kind of tuning out. Those guys are great.

Didn't see any specifics.

Also here we go.

So I figure he stays on in Gainsville judging by the way he's talking about the guy.

The “Bubba’’ program, which at times is racy or raunchy, was the centerpiece of the Marshall Plan. But it bombed quickly in the conservative St. Louis market, as many had predicted.

“That was a mistake, I think we all know that,’’ Marshall said. “I first look inward when things don’t work and one of the things’’ to get ratings turned around is to add Slaten. “We’ll be out there selling (ads) like crazy.’’

Ouch. Seems like McKernan was an institution there. It's always hard to follow someone in those circumstances.

You'll have to forgive me, but I take the Sinister approach to anything he says anymore. Meaning if his mouth is open, he's lying or talking out of his ass

Well I just pulled this from my ass so we're in good company. I assume the "good news" is that he stays in Gainsville. Just pointing this out.

The signal sort of reaches CT where he used to be on. Just found it interesting is all.

These chicken clucks really ruin the bit, why even play it on FM?
