Oh, and I just got censored by mentioning GM's "agent" (note: I never used the word "spouse" or "wife") - according to Larz, the board rules state no "slamming of a personality's spouse" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

What does a censoring on Larz board consist of?




From the "WGN Radio - A Question and a Bold Statement" thread:


CBHScott (me):

"I agree that the decision seems ridiculous on the surface, but to outright poo-poo the possibility that the OP posted is short-sighted, especially with the way today's media companies work.

We also don't know what has happened behind the scenes. GM, while maybe a "star" and a "legend", also has a rather flaky history, especially when it comes to contract negotiations. ***Missing text: "Maybe his 'agent' got involved in a contract dispute or something..."***

(Edited by moderator for rules violation.)"


Next post by The Great and Powerful Larz:

"There are no contract negotiations. Meier is under contract through October 2015.

Any postings slamming a radio personalities' spouse or family is ignorant and will be deleted. No exceptions.


:lol:


Or, posts just never appear after they are submitted.

From a ratings standpoint, it doesn't make sense. From a current management standpoint, it doesn't seem to, either, so I wonder what went on behind the scenes to make them pull the trigger? Maybe Garry's "agent" making demands again??? FWIW, I can only take him in short bursts, because of his increasing "deaf old man" yelling.

Bill and Wendy are quite popular, but I'm not sure if that show is ready for prime-time yet. John Williams always was a milquetoast bore, and the Mr. and Mrs. Sirott show is fucking unlistenable.

The funny thing, though, is that someone posted the possibility of the Meier launching/return of John Williams on Larz' board about a week ago, and Larz, being his usual condescending self, ripped the very idea that someone would even be so dumb as to think of posting it :roll: :D .

Larz also says that he KNOWS MacNeil will re-sign with The Score, but when pressed won't back it up. Wuss.


Larz & I went back & forth about the possibility of Mac leaving The Score. He said that Mitch loves him & that he stood by Mac during his rehab stints & he isn't going anywhere. So much for that.

I agree. Some see Mac as firing on the way out. I see him firing as a man with renewed and reinforced power.

Larz & I went back & forth about the possibility of Mac leaving The Score. He said that Mitch loves him & that he stood by Mac during his rehab stints & he isn't going anywhere. So much for that.

Caught a little bit of Bill and Wendy yesterday. It sounds more like an overnight or weekend afternoon show than something on in afternoon drive.

Spot on, Tad. They are not drive time.

Listened to Garry on the stream yesterday. Much better without the constant traffic/ads. He said the "plan" is for 'GN to put him and Johnny B on an FM frequency. He was funny talking about how his management talk went last week. Callers were firing on management.
