Is it me or has the afternoon saloon turned "too gamey" ? My guess this is Harry's influence on the show...but this past week when I had a chance to listen I heard movie madness, something called the AM1000 Pyramid, then yesterday the whatever trivia - baseball 5 inning whatever game.

I realize sports is sort of in a post super bowl lull....but it seems everytime I tune in I get a new game show. Doesn't take long for me to punch the button over to B&B...which by the way I have listened to a lot more...post Mac. Nice move AM1000!

I'm with you Walkr, I've listened all week and I haven't heard this many games in awhile. It always just brings out Jurko and Harry fighting over who got the better partner, who got the easier questions and blah, blah, blah.

_________________
... In my opinion.

Gonna agree with Walk on this one.The few times I had flipped the show on it's been a fucking game show. I don't think for one second Mac would of let this happen and like I stated in a post a few weeks back that Harry's lame radio schtick has it's finger prints all over this crap ..As each day goes buy with this show Mac's abscence digs this show into a deeper hole and the station into a bigger hole and the cash register for Mac should be ringing when he signs on the dotted line at the Score.

I 've talked to a number of people over the past few weeks who agree with most here that the Saloon blows and I'm stunned by the number of backers that Mac had with the show.I'm not blowing smoke but from chat boards, to my customers, to people on the street have voiced that Mac's departure has made a HUGE impact on what they listen to today and saloon is not part of that .

I can honestly say there is a void from 2 to 6 and it sucks as B&B felt the need to talk about Barry Fucken Bonds yesterday and I punched the button as Bernstein wants to bring a national flavor to the show and I punch the fucken button and I'd like to punch him when he get's on his high horse about this crap ..Keep it , give me a new show with Mac already.

Let me just say that Silvvy and Waddle moves to the 2 to 6 slot that word work for me as that show has got my ear in the morning and I enjoy the show.

Bully for the...what...5 people who might win during a given week. The rest of us have to be subjected to that bad radio?

These aren't KIDS on from 2-6PM.

They're radio professionals being given their marching orders from Jim Pastor and Justin Craig.

Don't be pissed at Carm, Jurko or Harry - go higher up the food chain.

Maybe the two people who are competing for the HUGE prize of a John Cicco's gift certificate care, but it is brutal radio. Yesterday on Jurko v. Harry, Carm asked them each 5 questions about basketball playoff records and they didnt know ANY of the answers. It was beyond painful and will be the last thing I hear of the afternoon saloon. Click.

If anyone ever receives them is another story.

On the Basketball playoff records, Harry said lets give a prize to the player that lost for saying Congratulations to the winner, if I was the one that lost, I would have said who picked this stupid topic.

Heh, yeah -- I'm still waiting for my John Cicco's gift certificate for winning Mac's Movie Line of the Week back in the summer of 2007.

MAC IS TURNING OVER IN HIS UNEMPLOYMENT GRAVE.!!! I flip on this trainwreck and they're discussing Pat Summit's accomplishments.............. For the love of God I can't listen anymore.

And you have Harry schelping pro-flowers!! That's like having Mac schelping Bulls season ticket packages.

Silvy and Waddle is a Chicago flavored extension of Mike and Mike. As it is, Silverman and Waddle compete with unpleasant noises down the dial. Only a pro-choice deaf will roll with that abortion of air time. It might as well be taken in one bundled package from 6-noon. No sense in spreading the misery of Mike-dom as you would some peanut butter over a freshly toasted slice of bread. With the way things are, just bring back Rome-even if you need a 3 day tape delay. It will be hella better. Listening to the Saloon is like watching Goodfellas 9x in a 4 hour span with our new host. Other than God boy v. the clown Jayson Smith, the only thing WMVP has that I'll listen to is Chester and the boy who cried wolf baseball beat reporter on certain weekends. Scratch that, Valvano is good too.
