710 Radio is doing great

CuntWaffle

So great that they had to fire one of their most recent hires, Paul Gallant, and he is being replaced with who other else than... Mike Salk to "save the numbers". Listeners have never been higher!

I used to listen to 710 all the time. but when they fired Jim Moore and hired Gallant, that did it for me and i stopped completely. I love Danny but Gallant was awful. And as he gained confidence he became kind of insufferable

The stupidity of 710 is astounding…

-Fire morning show team because of “numbers” in a market that lost a huge share of its morning car commuters (and radio listeners) to the pandemic and work from home

-Bring in boring, established guy who was only ever relevant because of his partner to “save the numbers” right when football season is starting and in-person schools are set to open, driving a massive influx of listeners that would’ve come anyways

Salk is horrible, just a complete shithead. I refuse to listen to that station. Heaps is a total "my dad is the boss" kind of turd that has knee pads sewn into all his pants. KJR isn't much better.

Heaps is also on Russell Wilson's payroll too. So his non stop gawking over him will make anyones ears bleed.

Tech companies aren't coming back to the commute. Radio suffers and now you're stuck with Blazer Guy and Seahawks Guy only.

These guys need to go do probably podcasts and a day job. No more lazy days mailing it on what 'Russ can do with a shit OL.

I'm excited because I have no idea who any of these people are except Jim Moore who is a Coug embarrassment like Softy but he actually graduated from Pullman. I think.


Good point either way.

KJR’s morning comedy show is decent. They’ll occasionally talk sports too, but the comedy is what drives the show.

Anyone know the ratings KIRO vs. KJR? There used to be a Seattle blog that posted them, but I can’t think of the name anymore.

Good radio doing fine. Anyone can download the apps for IHeart, Audacy, Entercom, etc., and listen to just about any show from any city. I’d rather listen to that degenerate Craig Carton in NYC than Puck or the even worse Jake and Stacy shitshow that air at the same time on Seattle radio.

KJR somehow, some way, manages to be the lesser of two evils. Chuck Powell is entertaining. Creative stuff on his show. He has a fucking dolt as a sidekick however. To make it worse Bucky is a Duck and Bronco fan. Follow that up with a bootlicking toolbag in Puckett, who happens to be a Coog. Follow that up with a not so terrible guy in Furness, however, a fucking Coog! Then, finally, a ball washing homer during drive time with a cohost that laughs at his own stupid “jokes” that aren’t jokes. Thanks a lot to the flagship station of our? Dwags!

KIRO somehow has managed to be worse than that hot fucking garbage

I think Bucky’s succinct, rube humor is a great compliment to Chuck’s drawn-out story telling style of humor. The two are great by themselves when it comes to baseball and jokes. They need to lean heavily on interviews and guests for the other sports though.

Moore > Softy.

Softy is King of the Morons. He empowers other morons to continue to be morons because one of their own made something of himself by getting a media platform.

Moore has always been articulate and a good writer. Softy is a moron.

Bucky is good when he’s talking baseball, but that is the extent of his editorial wizardry. He leans heavily on Powell’s rhetoric and usually just repeats what he says when talking about other sports.

The whole lineup has gone downhill and sadly, Mahler knows he’s the cash cow of the station.

How do you get rid of Danny but keep Heaps and Stelton? Dave Wyman seems like a good person, but five hours a day of him making excuses for the Seahawks? Yikes.
