WLOB, where radio goes to die

WLOB.

Maine’s “big-talker.” What is big about it?

Definitely not their ratings, which are just a fraction of their competitors.

Ray Richardson is big, but I doubt they would be so rude as to advertise based on the unhealthy weight of their “star” host.

And check out their website. As of February 7 they have a poll asking whether you made a new year’s resolution. How timely. And click on audio and you are presented with one, yes one, lonely clip from a show on January. How amateur. At least I’ve got another job; what’s their excuse?

I’ve seen midnight college radio shows with better production value. Seriously, give a Portland High sophomore $100 and he could revamp the site to make it probably only a tenth as sucky.

How do they stay on the air? Seriously, does anyone know?

    Oh man,
    I’ll have fun with Scott Fish/AMG. Take my time. Remember him in the late 80s, attacking state workers, unions, prolly a state worker himself, in a meaningless way. You know, a John Bircher. Writing senseless rightwing stuff to the BDN. But BDN has come to its senses.

    I totally agree. The show is really substandard. As for the production of the show, it seems they are more concerned to have station breaks then to have a show that comes off more professional.

    Just my two cents.
