Roe
Roeper
Ron

All I know about this show is Ron Magers used to be on at 3. Maybe it's still the case.

I'm gonna listen.



Will you?

Still a decent show but was great with Roe and Garry

Jim Johnson used to crack me up.



I get a little bit of an "O Reilly" vibe from Roe. I dont think he's as conservative as he sometimes indicates.


and Ron Magers is pretty funny


I like Roeper as a writer, he hasnt been on the show the few times Ive tuned in

They talk more about American Idol and Dancing with the Stars than politics, I'm pretty sure.

I think so too.

There used to be some general political stuff, but there was a lot of fluff too.

89 WLS-AM just started an hour's worth of sports talk in the final hour of the "Roe & Roeper Show", complete with FOX32's Lou Canellis joining 2 of those R's after the 5P news.

I know I listen to sports talk radio and that's not exactly great, but there's something so despair-inducing about listening to middle-aged married men talk about who got eliminated on "Idol" last night. It's radio for Really Boring People. 890 desperately needs to reinvent itself.

That was pretty much all Tony Kornheiser talked about when he was on AM1000 in 2001 or whenever it was. That guy was awful.

I guess there's a market for it. Maybe we take Dan and Terry for granted sometimes.

So not a Stern fan then I guess. But I totally agree on the American Idol stuff. It's brutal.

I occaisionally see Eric on some wacky billboard and ask myself if it would be worth it to go through daily castration for 1.5 million per year of otherwise easy work. I have come to the conclusion that it is.

When the Tony Kornheiser show was nationally heard on ESPN Radio about a decade ago, I remember Tony always referenced what he saw that morning on "The Today Show" in the opening segment and went on a rant about that.

Any reality show talk on the radio is instant PTFB for me. That might have been the start of my loss of interest in the Stern show. American Idol, Survivor, the Bachelor, etc. His whole show during the summer is talking about America's Got Talent.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

I missed this yesterday

Ben listening for the past 6 months

Before he left for Sirius/XM Satellite Radio in 2006, the final year of Howard Stern's radio show on terrestrial radio, heard locally on the defunct 105.9 WCKG, was a glorified infomercial for Sirius.

Stern's former bosses at WXRK-FM, the CBS Radio-owned outlet that was the flagship for Stern's old show in New York, were so outraged that Stern kept referencing the "S" word that he was actually suspended for about 2 weeks in 2005. He was also sued by CBS bossman Les Moonves for breach of contract, but Stern & CBS settled out of court.

Oh shit, hey Chus guess what?

I used to love Roe & Garry with Jim Johnson chiming in. It was great radio. Once Garry left, it kind of fell apart for me. It got more political and newsie, and less fun.

I've tried to listen to Gary Meier's show on WGN a few times. It is abysmal. He has nothing interesting to say about anything. His mindset is frozen in the Reagan era. The whole thing is like a sonic waiting room for Death.
