A Little Late, But... WABC Reveals Evening Line-Up

[ChickenHawk]

I know this was released a few days ago, but I was too lazy to start a topic until now...

Starting on September 2nd:
6PM - 7PM - Mark Levin
7PM - 9PM - Laura Ingraham
9PM - 10PM - Monica Crowley
10PM - 1AM - Batchelor & Alexander
1AM - 5AM - Steve Malzberg

I think WABC is making a huge mistake by bringing in Laura Ingraham. This was the best they could do? I don't think anyone has any interest in hearing another monotone blonde conservative woman every night for 2 hours. And then they continue to bore listeners to death with Monica Crowley at 9. You see what they did though? They combined two shows between 8-10 PM because they don't want direct competition with Mike Savage on WOR. They know they can't handle it. Even the famous Marty (a popular old-timer caller) basically called up Monica Crowley tonight and said "I won't be able to catch your show anymore because you'll be competing with the other guy." Obviously he was referring to Savage and he was trying to find a nice way to say "Now that you're gonna be on at 9, I'm not listening to you anymore."

I still miss The Buzz.

I think they are just trying to hire more women. Richard Bey got fired to make way for Monica Crawley, even though he was pulling in respectable numbers and doing a good job. Monica sounds really scared and disorganized on her show.

Mark Levin isn't too bad in small doses but I'm listening to Bob Grant from 5-7.

Laura Ingraham is better than Monica Crowley, which isn't saying much. Monica still sounds like a new teacher in front of her first class.

I like Batchelor & Alexander (not that there's anything wrong with that). Conspiracies and doom every night.

Steve Malzberg is unlistenable. All Israel, all the time. I liked him slightly better when he did his sports show.

Eh, i dunno. Its alright I guess. And the MALLER IS GREAT!

Oh, they should give this young guy, Andrew Wilcow, a show. He's like 30 and did rock radio before doing fill in spots. Hes gonna be on tonight for Maller. Hes great.

Batchelor and Alexander is friggin awesome. They cover ROC-PRC relations a lot, which is fine with me. Are they openly gay or do they continue to reside in the closet?

Keith - Maller? Do you mean Malzberg? And yeah, Wilcow sounds like good young talent, but he's very afraid to stray from the subject he's set on. If someone brings up anything to attempt to shift the topic, he'll stick like glue to the topic he wants to talk about.

As far as Bachelor & Alexander, I've always thought they both sound like some variation of a gay Jimmy Stewart with AIDS.
