Get the feeling that most of the current hosts are just trying to hold on as long as they can because they see the industry continuing to slowly fade away over the next 5-10 years.
That said, Larry must be especially concerned, it would seem the only reason to obtain a masters for him would be to access a full time teaching gig at a community college or university, but it looks like he has not taught anything at DePaul since 2018, so that does not seem to be going anywhere.
Did enjoy it when Rahimi would bust Bernstein for having bad sports thoughts, the station may be able to become at least somewhat entertaining if they get away from the "Smart Fans", idiocy they trot out there all day long because the hosts are so incapable of putting out anything close unique or entertaining sports talk radio content these days that the entire "Smart Fans" campaign is an insult to actual smart sports fans.
The alternative though is to have the fans talking to fans thing again and that too closely resembles Barstools content and they’re aren’t enough fainting couches at the Score or in the homes of the listeners they currently have to allow that to happen.
You could create a very entertaining station if you just scooped up the older guys who are working on the margins in media. North, Murph, Fred, Mac, Giangreco, Ofman and Rozner. It would be a 1000% better listen than what's trotted out on a daily basis at the current 2 stations.
