Just said that there will be a local show on 790 at the 3 o’clock hour starting tomorrow and Gottlieb was a temporary fill in for that slot. No other details. I’m interested to see what that entails, but really don’t understand ending the R&R show.

They are going to fill it with people they don’t have to pay near as much as they had to pay R&R. That or fill it with a show that caters at least 50% Grovers...
And KRD was supposed to be UofL oriented...…… so much for that.That’s what I’m thinking, pay less and probably more to having less a pro UofL show on

What kind of coin does local on air talent make? It doesn't seem like a lucrative job. Like, a lot of these guys have multiple jobs, it seems.
Not what they used to have. Radio is slowly dying on the vine just like print media. More and more promotional dollars are being put into digital inventory, which is a cluster until they figure it out.What kind of coin does local on air talent make?

I agree. Coffey has developed into a very good local talent. Not a bunch of goofy stuff, not a screamer, he knows his stuff and works hard to stay on point without being a jerk.Coffey is very knowledgeable and does his homework. Similar to Howie, so it’s always a good listen. No bias or bull, tells it how it is and doesn’t try to be a jerk.
Apparently the only ad sponsors they can get is ED recovery. Over and over again.

Or he’s cheap and delivers a good audience that the big company in NYC cares about to make a profit. There isn’t a local UK conspiracy when it comes to WHAS and iHeart, they were losing moneynational company and are going to do what they can to make money.Nick Coffey will hang around local sports radio longer than most because of his ties. If you notice, he won't say a cross word about Ukay once. Not one time, not ever. Footall, basketball, doesn't matter. Won't hear him say/tweet it. Who do you think got him his job....?

Back to the worst sports show in Louisville .. The afternoon underdogs filling in the spot left by R&R..
They are AWFUL..!!
Who is on The Afternoon Underdogs?
Vaneti and Dave Jennings.. They don't know chit about sports and they giggle like 2 teenagers when somebody farts.. They are bottom of the barrel.Who is on The Afternoon Underdogs?
Those guys should have to pay iheart to be on air..Iheart must have bought them for a buy one get one free deal.
Again, that does not matter. iHeart Radio is a the station. They’re in New York. They don’t care about UK. They want green in their pockets. There isn’t some scheme.Buddy you can think whatever you want, Nick's pockets are blue and I'm not talking new 100's.
LAgain, that does not matter. iHeart Radio is a the station. They’re in New York. They don’t care about UK. They want green in their pockets. There isn’t some scheme.
And unless you got proof, I’m going to say Nick Coffey is a great UofL fan and representative for our fan base. Classy and intelligent, just like our University and City.
I think it was TWO for free. As I understand, they're on from 9 am-noon in addition to 3-6 pm. That's crazy. I don't know if it's temporary, but I've never heard of the same guys on the radio all day long!Iheart must have bought them for a buy one get one free deal.
You must have turned on Afternoon Underdogs and thought they were Nick Coffey!You can have Nick Coffey and to compare him to Howie is just plain crazy. I tried listening to him before and he’s a nit wit. If that dude does his homework I hate to see it when he doesn’t. I’ll stick with Mark and Luke
Well also radio has become a dead format. The only way radio survives is ad sales now.Clear Channel has ruined all radio in Louisville and pretty much everywhere else.
I'm sure Mark E would disagree with you.Well also radio has become a dead format. The only way radio survives is ad sales now.
The Card Chronicle Podcast is a great listen for anyone needing a good fix of the Cards
Correct, the art of the voice broadcast is doing better than ever (I’ll work on a better name)I'm sure Mark E would disagree with you.
It depends on what you define as "radio". I probably listen to more of it now than I ever have in my life. But it's not over the airwaves, and not necessarily in real time. "Radio" is simply the construct in which content is produced and distributed...
I find Mark Blankenbaker to be very knowledgeable and enjoy his take. Overall, I find the list of local talent I like growing shorter and shorter while the list of those I dislike is getting very, very long!!!
