Misc Any CP Bob & Tom fans?

"Bob" Dobbs · 03-10-2009, 03:40 PM

At one of the radio stations I work with, we're thinking about adding the Bob & Tom show. If you listen to them currently, or have in the past, I'd like to get your input. What do you like about the show? What DON'T you like?
Thanks in advance!

I like that I have only heard them when the introduce comics. I would like to keep it that way

I can't stand Bob and Tom. 90% of their show is canned laughter, or them laughing at themselves. And all of their material has been around for 20 years...

As a fellow radio guy I don't care to listen to endless interviews with half funny comedians and the two of them laughing at their own "genius"..... constantly.... laughing..... all the time.... it bores into my brain. And Chic McGee sucks.

If you're going for that demo though they still have appeal.

As a listener and fan of good radio I want nothing to do with them. As a programmer I'd take a look at them if they weren't too expensive and you knew you could sell it

"Bob" Dobbs · 03-10-2009, 03:59 PM

Yeah, selling it shouldn't be a problem; it just makes me nervous to not play much music in mornings. They're certainly cheaper than the other options for the market I'm talking about.

My old favorite station just started playing these d-bags in the morning. I don't listen to that station anymore.

sportsman1 · 03-10-2009, 04:11 PM

My dad listens to them.. I always prefer more music than talk. Local flavor is always better than nationalized garbage.

"Bob" Dobbs · 03-10-2009, 04:17 PM

Please allow me to point out that the station is a Classic Rocker. Designed for "older" guys.

If these are the same guys that our oldies station put on back in the 90s, they lasted about a month IIRC.

That sounds a lot like the douchebags we have on our local rock station in the morning, I can't stand them.

This. And Bob Dole isn't a fellow radio guy.

If there's a place to put them that is it. Do you have any format competition with city grade signal in the area? If not, is there a "like" format where's those that are inevitably going to be pissed off can go? A Modern Rock or AOR... even Classic Hits or a 70's heavy Oldies? If there's nowhere for them to go... you can make money on it... and it's cheap... it might be worth your time. As I'm sure you know, for all of those you piss off with any kind of major change, you generally gain them back in new audience.

Bob and Tom:
Hit and miss with them. Depends quite a bit on who the guests are of course. I have almost shot coffee out my nose laughing at some of the stuff. Other times it's borderline annoying. In smaller markets it's probably one alternative when you really don't have local talent.

"Bob" Dobbs · 03-10-2009, 04:48 PM

That's exactly it. No real close in-format competition, and the market is small enough to where there IS no local talent to speak of (but is still big enough to be a rated metro).

"Bob" Dobbs · 03-10-2009, 04:49 PM

...plus it's not like we're gonna displace anyone, currently just a jukebox in the morning.

Coffeeville, Pittsburg, and Chanute is a metro?
