I've been thinking the same thing. It's about time for Babinski to have a go at it. He's still a little young and doesn't have a handle in a few areas but if they teamed him up with somebody...

I've been thinking the same thing. It's about time for Babinski to have a go at it. He's still a little young and doesn't have a handle in a few areas but if they teamed him up with somebody...
I've met so many Millenial moms and dads who follow Dave Ramsay's financial philosophy, I'm wouldn't be surpised if he does well in the target demo.
Babinski is more than ready for a gig of his own. TNBO used him as crutch when his fake studio audience didn't stroke his ego. Now he's the third guy on a two man morning show. He's young, hip and doesn't suck up to the wing nuts who make up a large portion of KFYI's audience.
You mean "The Station Formerly Known as KOY"? They have not had a hit since 1999.
OTOH, most everyone I know who knows about Ramsey -- and there's a lot of Ramsey fans locally -- very few realize that he has a radio show. It's like the people who know who that "Rich Dad" guy is but the brand recognition stops there.
Yes indeedy! It's also the station formerly known as KGME.
Doc, the young, hip part is great and he's funny! To cover current affairs, he could use a little more knowledge of history and things European. Just a little nudge from a buddy for just a little bit of time.
Just assumed they were listening while driving the kidmobile. So few of them read non fiction any more. Or maybe Ramsay's on TV, don't watch it so I wouldn't know.
I doubt he could carry a show alone.
Apparently the station is planning to find a new local afternoon host. The schedule on the website says "4pm KFYI Afternoon Show." I suppose a new name will be plugged in, in the new year. The other slots, other than 5 - 10am, are all nationally syndicated hosts. Even though the other national shows on KFYI are syndicated by iHeart subsidiary Premiere Networks (Rush, Hannity, Noory, Beck, Lewis), the station could plug that hole with another syndication service.
Some iHeart stations run Westwood One's Mark Levin after Hannity. Some use Joe Pags from WOAI San Antonio or Todd Schnitt from WFLA Tampa. Premiere does supply a 6-9pm show ET (4-7pm MT) called "America Now." At one time it was hosted by Andy Dean, then Meghan McCain (daughter of Sen. John McCain) and currently Buck Sexton. But iHeart has so little interest in the show, few iHeart stations run it.

Chris Merrill, formerly of KFYI and most recently at KOGO AM 600 in San Diego, is back on the air tonight doing KTAR-FM’s nighttime / overnight Election Week coverage. Glad to hear Chris Merrill is back on the air, I liked him on KOGO doing KOGO at night and he was an unfortunate casualty of the IHeart Radio layoffs earlier this year.
Yes indeedy, it's old home week for former KFYI'ers on 92~Three: Mike Broomhead, Jim Sharpe, Deborah Dale, Barry (never use 5 words when 50 will do) Markson, and Chris Merrill. At least this expanded election coverage has spared us from Beans 'n Rice, which makes all the anxiety worth it!
