You surprised by this? I'm not. Then Bubba wonders why people dislike him.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

I never listened to Ledge once on IO and yes, I big timed him once at the old studios but I'd give him a shot over the Waters clan.

Wow. Wiki wiki man is totally jobbing him out. Bubba needs to do right by Ledge.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

If this is "Bubba's vision" for WBRN that motherfucker is blinder than Lawrence and Glenn combined

Ledge did some good stuff. You should go back and listen to old shows he did with those that served, or the show about near death experiences. My issue with D Con a lot of the time was that it couldn't seem to find a happy medium (for me at least, not for hardcore fans) between being your typical guys BS'ing hot talk show and being serious. Plus I despise Blind James like most people here, and him aside, he had way too many people on air that IMO didn't add much.

[FishMuskys]

Ledge is a really good broadcaster but I don't know if that kind of a show would get the buzz. You gotta have a certain mindset to appreciate it. Also, it doesn't help that the Cynthia gal from NY is his booker for guests.

I miss Benny.

He used to do a pretty good Bucs pre game show and I was disappointed he never did a sports show on IO, I would have listened to it. Still shitty to see him getting jobbed out after all he did for Bubba and IO.

Ledge is a breath of fresh air in whatever you want to call the gendre. He's not a blowhard like Alex Jones and has a laid back vibe that connects with people.

[Cpt. Mcgillicutty]

You think they'll be enough of an outcry from Ledge's fans to make Bubba rethink his "vision" and give him a shot? He was able to raise over 10k so he does have some marks.

[Chob]

Yes, and Beasley as well as advertisers should notice the successful Kickstarter campaign.

Also, I think he should keep "The Hog" as a sort of Power Pig tribute block they can slot in whenever. That name is already floating around so they might as well use it

Unfortunately like every other single thing Bubba has done, this will be yet another squandered opportunity.

[FishMuskys]

1st drink of the day.

[Chob]

I already saw one radio site calling it a "rock format." They gotta remember to keep it fresh to avoid the station getting pigeonholed.
