A couple of months ago, it dawned on me that what was "more stimulating radio" is really sounding old and as stimulating as skim milk.
Gary and Shannon sound like they have gotten way too comfortable -- almost like Edith and Archie Bunker...sitting in their old kind of worn comfy recliners wearing Dearforms slippers. KFI really got a lot of attention when they bumped Rush Limbaugh off for local programming for a "fresh sound" several years ago, but the two have become really predictable and uninteresting.
John and Ken still sound interesting, and Tim Conway, Jr. is also not sounding bad these days after some seven years later. Bill Handel is still Bill Handel, but he also seems to be kind of tired sounding.
What doesn't help is that Neil Saavedra sounds really condescending and "know it all" and whenever he comes on these days, I hit the "off" button. Dean Sharpe's show is nothing to write home about either. Both of these guy's sound like they are talking "AT" the audience vs. talking "WITH" the audience and having a conversation.
Thoughts?
