Say it ain't so!!!!

I noticed Mitch is going with more of the nicer sports show hosts on the weekends. At least in the day. Grote replaced Paruch on the Saturday show with Rosenbloom. Finfer does the shift before that show. Mike Espisito is getting some weekend shifts too. Grote, Espisito, Finfer, and even Ranger are in the same mold as the recenly departed Paruch. Safe, pleasant, well spoken, non threatening, college educated (probably all of them from good schools), white people in their 30s.

These SCORE people have less of an edge and aren't as hateful. They don't view sports radio as going into war with callers. People that don't really bitch about their station and cry about being wronged by their station. They're not gonna let you know which co workers they hate. They're not the type to tell you how tough they are or how many women they get. They don't take any rage from their personal lives to the air. These guys aren't the type that are waiting to say "fuck you" to callers. They don't say anything too offensive. They don't try to be the "shock jock" type. They don't come off as ass holes. They're not going to do the "dirty sex joke" and "race joke" thing. They just want to do the sports talk routine and go home. Generally pleasant and happy people on the air.

Why has Mitch gone this direction?

Edit: Now Matt Rowdawald is doing the Saturday Night show. Another one cut from that same cloth. What's happening to the SCORE? They're going away from angry white hosts.

Right. But that doesn't explain why he's going to nicer white people. I mean nobody would listen to jack asses too. It's definitely a concious decision on Mitch's part. It's not a coincidence. Rosie is still the "jerk white guy" but he's a long time guy and has a following. Mitch is defidently making a statement that he wants the young blood to be the clean cut guys that fathers would want their daughters to date. At least in the day time. That's a more civilized, sophisticated audience. Even on the weekends that 7-12 hours matters more than the other weekend hours.

Now at night Mitch doesn't give a damn. That audience is drunks, druggies and criminals. That's why Mitch gives them Drinky, Goff and Larry.

And yes, Goff and Larry are considered "angry white talk show hosts". I don't care what you say. B&B have rubbed off enough "angry white" on them to make this so. It's a damn shame too. We're a bad enough race on our own. I hate it when we corrupt other races.

Right now it's Connor McNight and David Shuster.

I'm telling you, Mitch has made a conscious decision to program weekends this way.

Listened to McKnight a little today. I thought he was pretty good. Pretty knowledgeable for a young(?) kid.

I noticed that the team of David Schuster & Connor McKnight hosted 4 hours on Saturday afternoon following Ranger's "White Sox Weekly". I think the reason why Schu & Cons hosted a show together had a lot to do with the fact there was NOT any live play-by-play on The SCORE for the first time in quite sometime. I wish the powers that be at 670 The SCORE and the new look Web site would POST THE DAMN SCHEDULE on there so that listeners will know who's going to be on when there's NO PLAY-BY-PLAY scheduled!
