One would think that Mark Steyn would be hosting the program... He hasn't touched it. Integrity.
Brent Winterble and the others deserve exposure, but it's like Kenny Jones replacing Keith Moon. Serviceable, not spectacular. Possibly because they're still playing the same old songs... Noory vs. Bell but not as bad. Noory turned suckage into an "art."
They say they are picking up new stations... Yeah, how many have they lost? On top of that, the cost to carry the show must have gone down.
I tune in a couple times a week, just to see if anything has changed. Nope, just the same routine of vanilla fill-ins, although no Mark Steyn, so far. Not sure what’s up with that, whether he’s washed his hands of the situation, he’s in negotiations to take over permanently and it’s not advisable for him to be a host at this time, or he just has better things to do.
I do know I don’t regularly listen, anymore. I can’t believe what they’re currently doing is sustainable for the long term. Of all the regular crop of past fill-in hosts, Steyn is the only one I’d listen to on a regular basis. The others are just too “blah,†for me. I’m guessing PremRad is going to “cheap-out†again and eventually go with some inexpensive mediocre host, just like they did with C2C. Losing audience and dollars seem to be what they do best.
