Morning radio in Chicago

#1 Eric and Kathy
#2 WOJO (Hola amigo)
#3 Mully and Hanley

Yes, I know most of you think they are the worst show ever put on the radio and I agree it is not great, but they are putting up numbers never seen before for the SCR morning slot. Almost 5 times better than North!

#1 7.9 share of the 25-54 Mens share, which is what they care about about.

So, why is this happening if they are just so terrible?

Explain away

Lack of competition. Mike & Mike suck and are only useful if you want national sports. They are the only game in town.

There is a large contingent of impressively stupid people in Chicago.

A shiny turd is still a turd.

Most of the people on this board could put on a better show than North.

Because average human IQ is less than 80?

Guests. Biggs, Lombardi and Aikman are good. They reduce the amount of time M&H talk or fake laugh. If only Mully knew how to phrase a question that didn't take 5 minutes the interviews would be even better.

Theyd probably be better if they had a better offensive line, running backs and receivers.

They can't, obviously.

And I doubt very much that #4 was Mike & Mike.

I would have thought that a pile of shit would come in no higher than #5 on radio rankings. Illinois never ceases to amaze me with the statewide affinity for shit.

Jay Leno is routinely the most popular late night show on tv.

It's not just Illinois that has an affinity for the fecalesque.

Mully and Hanley is a an awful, terrible show.

Hanley is OK but Mully is just the shits.

If AM1000 countered with let's say "Huebner & Hood" in the AM,I would love to see that ratings war.

Of course we can explain. The explanation is that there is not a correlation between quality and popularity. If there is, Lil Wayne is better than what, like 98% of musicians out there? And McDonald's is better quality than Lou Malnati's. Mully and Hanley are a boring, non controversial radio show who also happens to be the only Chicago sports-based radio show on morning AM. So this isn't exactly fucking rocket science to figure out. There's plenty of valid explanations for why a shitty show benefiting from these circumstances can be highly rated.

There is a demand for Chicago sports. Only one supplier.

M&H are to morning radio what country is to music and the Cubs are to baseball.

Popular? Yes. Good? No.

Ever since Jay returned to late nights, it's been either Dave or Kimmel winning.

FF, McD's is better than Lou Malnati's.

That's right, I said it!

What? McD's makes Deep Dish pizza?
How is that even comparable?

He's the cheeser who made the comparison. Nobody mentioned Pizza. You need to clear the smoke from your eyes.

I think being named after eating pussy has damaged your brain.
When you invoke Lous, you are mentioning pizza.

The explanation is obvious if you can explain why Eric and Kathy are #1.
