If KFNC is running syndicated Talk during the day on the third or fourth week, I guess they are in big trouble already. AW Pantoja is very good and in Houston live is going to beat a syndicated program nearly every time. Hopefuly Boortz was a one day thing.
I listened to the 5pm to 7pm news tonight and it was more straight forward news reporting. It still had good appeal, but then KFNC has very good anchors that have their own personalities that can keep the news from being boring. KFNC just sounded more professional tonight and not an embarrassment to the city. Even Chuck S's traffic reports were dignified and to the point. The station for those two hours actually sounded like a news station that you could take seriously. That was all I heard of KFNC today, plus the first five minutes of Phil Hendrie, which was more than enough.
Since Chuck Savage is a comic also, maybe Cumulus should move him over to KIOL were the traffic reports are more of a gag than for real and have him do the midday traffic reports where he can joke around and have it fit into the trend that has already been set on 103.7. KIOL would have some traffic during the day and Chuck might be much more at ease on 103.7.
