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
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.
Heaps check the box of being inexpensive, as does Stacy along with being the right gender. Stelton is fine imo.
Danny and Gallant had no chance of ever working being they were on different coasts.
So we can expect even more hot Mariners/MLB talk that NOGAF about every morning with Salk coming back? The guy is insufferable. Also shits on UW whenever he gets a chance.
The Jimmy Lake Show is at 6 pm today on KJR if anybody is interested.
I didn’t mind Salk when he first started, helped that Brock was with him. However, he then shit on KIRO and left for Boston’s drive time show, clearly ruffled feathers over there and got the boot, then came back here for the program director job at Bonneville, only to now up-end the morning show for a 4 hour solo gig where there will be no counterpoint.
What dirt does Salk have on this radio station? The guy couldnt make it in his hometown market, comes back here and runs the place? Pretty powerful blackmail

I used to listen to Brock and Salk show a few years ago. Mostly for Brock, didn’t mind Danny O’Neill, didn’t love him, enjoyed his sports takes but didn’t find his humor very funny. But I HATED Salk, eventually stopped listening completely because of him. Crazy he’s now the guy that’s supposed to bring in numbers. He’s a baseball guy from fucking New England who enjoys trashing college football and the huskies specifically, a perfect combo for a city with the fairly rabid UW and WSU college football fan base and a perennially shit (they won’t make the playoffs this year don’t waste your time) MLB team!

“For a New England kid, it was the opportunity of a lifetime. Instead, barely a year later, he’s headed back to Seattle as a program director and host at his former station, ESPN 710.
Salk is from here, but it never seemed that way on the air. One local host once referred to him as Diane Chambers, the pretentious outcast amid the barroom family on “Cheers.” Frasier Crane may be more fitting. This is his home, but his professional home is Seattle.“
From a Boston Globe article about his departure from whatever gig he had over there. Ironically as a 206 native I would say the same about Salk in Seattle. He lives here sure, but his home is Boston.
Pouring out a 40 for New York Vinnie and the Fabulous Sports Babe - the last time Seattle sports talk radio was halfway listenable.
The T-Man on late-night KJR was the best ever. He basically didn't talk about sports and would just ask women callers about their breastisisisissis. Tried calling in once and the producer laughed and said "sorry kid, you're too young."
