I've listened to many of Krok's shows since he's been on WBAP. As of this writing, he's at about 680 shows, which might be a record stint for him. I tend to agree with his point of view most of the time. Yes, I believe he prepares for his shows pretty well. He does have an army of enemies out there and there's even an anti-Krok website. My beef with him, besides his annoying "HERCULES! HERCULES! HERCULES!" is just as much a beef with WBAP in the way they present the show than with just Krok. He comes on at 4pm, which is the third hour of Michael Savage, and is only on air for one hour. I can't understand the logic of WBAP knocking out Savage's third hour instead of airing his show in its entirety. Then Krok comes back at 8pm to midnight. The thing that bothers me is that Krok is live only from 8pm to 10pm, then WBAP repeats those two hours at 10pm to midnight and every time they come back from commercial, the WBAP pitchman says "The Chris Krok show continues, LIVE on WBAP" when it's NOT live in those two hours. Any live radio broadcast is full of commentary that instantly dates itself and when you repeat a broadcast, the commentary is no longer relevant in many cases. For a good example, during the recent severe icy weather, Krok had WBAP's meteorologist Brad Barton live in the studio discussing the weather for about 20 minutes during the live broadcast. This part of the show was later repeated twice and in those repeats, the weather situation had drastically changed. Instead of repeating 2 hours of a show we just heard, WBAP could be airing something fresh, but repetition is an epidemic in radio these days.
Krok also has a Facebook page and he does have it set up so that people can make posts, but the posts instantly disappear into a black hole and never appear on the page. I've messaged him about this and he replied that "sometimes Facebook blocks it out", which I don't think is the case. I think he may have it set somehow so that his enemies can't make negative posts. Also, even though Krok seems to prepare well for his shows, he rarely makes any posts to his Facebook page outlining the subjects he'll be talking about on his upcoming shows. Only a tiny number of listeners are able to actually call into a show and make their point, so I think he should use Facebook to fill in that gap, but he doesn't.
