Invisible Airwaves Crackle With Life
Remember my comments about KSTP AM 1500 talk radio host Tom Marsland and his shortcomings last week? I take 'em back.
This past Saturday I tuned in to KSTP at noon on Saturday and was greeted by the voice of Annette Meeks. Yes, the same Annette Meeks who was once considered as a possible host for the Morning Spin. The same Annette Meeks who, while quite knowledgeable about politics, is out of her element in talk radio. Not ready for prime time? Not ready for any time. Bring back Marsland.
A more positive development on another front is KSTP's morning host Bob Davis adding a half hour to his show, taking it until 8:30am every day. This gives me another half hour in the morning to avoid the Rosenbaum-O'Connell clusterfarg and catch more of Davis, who is easily the best and brightest host on KSTP's schedule. Faint praise perhaps but praise nonetheless.
UPDATE: As part of KSTP's new schedule Joe Soucheray, the Mayor of Garage Logic, will now be on the air from 3pm to 6pm meaning that the last hour of his show will go head to head with the man of many titles Hugh Hewitt. If Hugh has any hope of competing in the local market with the juggernaut that is Garage Logic he must take these steps:
1. Have Duane do impersonations. Some well, some not so well.
2. Read widely circulated e-mail top ten lists on the air.
3. Have callers start their motorcycles on the air.
Broadcast. Rinse. Repeat ad naseum.
