Spiegel and Mac was a success right?
Spiegel and Mannelly I pretty much blocked from my memory.
Spiegel and Goff was a success I think.
Spiegel and Perkins was too.
I would hardly say Spiegs would be getting a fifth chance as if he's failed 4 other times. Maybe once with the punter.
Well Goff was tied for number 1 in his timeslot 6 months ago too and before that was good enough to get promoted to afternoons over Spiegel.
Why is everyone making excuses for Spiegel? What is the case he is more deserving of another spot? Everyone thinks Parkins is a future star. The fact that the last show was doing well is on Spiegel?
As I said, all of his other shows were number 1 (save maybe one) right? Like you I'm not a Score historian so I can't remember.
B&G were number 1 in their timeslot 6 months ago. Spiegel and Goff were number 1 in their timeslot.
So Goff has a bad winter and he's done but Spiegel deserves a 5th show?
I think we will learn that Score middays are an easy time slot to look decent given the competition.
Where was all this Spiegel love before? It's just funny that he's suddenly a victim but Goff got what he deserved.
Calling a host pissing away a ratings lead to the point of being 2 points back of the competition in afternoon drive, necessitating a commercial free hour to cover up for lack of sponsors and attempt to regain listeners is understating the magnitude of the issue, I would say.
What's more, Goff MADE his Winter the way it was in concert with Bernstein. Neither of them can, say, point to a co-host with the personality of an eggplant being foisted upon them by panicky management in the wake of a very public divorce with a successful and popular talent.
Also, Spiegel hasn't had an atrocious Winter like Goff did. He's had four years of increasing success in the key demo ratings.
The commercial free hour is telling, because it means Score salespersons couldn’t get customers to fill the time, likely at discounted price. One side is probably directly proportional to the ratings.
The other side is associating your brand with an SJW show. Many companies won’t sponsor political shows—this happens to Rush frequently. Perhaps some companies didn’t want to be associated with their liberal vitriol. Personally, I will not buy Bernstein’s wine nor use Amy Kite as a realator. Fair or not, I associate them with the hosts and their views. And in the wine case, that is easily tracked by the offer code that links the ad to the host.
