They talk more about the Eagles than every other local team combined, even when the Eagles aren’t even playing.
WIP and 97.5 continually ignore interesting national and/or niche topics because we have to hammer home the same Eagles shit over and over again. I know the Birds rule town and WIP is the radio partner, but holy shit, we do not need to hear about Howie Roseman every five seconds, especially during the offseason. Spare us the banality of offseason Eagles talk Reduce the volume of listener phone calls by 25%, and each day part must book two more guests per week. Angelo had Laura Rutledge on his show last week for the ULTRA RARE mention of college football, which is sorely underappreciate in this town.Īs such, the new Program Director should add a new rule: I want more of Ross Tucker and Baldy and Sheil Kapadia. Some of the best radio WIP does is when they have experts on the show. Fewer phone calls in general, more guests It’s time to reinstitute the old caller rule. More often than not, Bobby from Boyertown adds nothing to the program. The stars are the hosts and the guests, and we don’t need to create a platform where Bobby from Boyertown gets an automatic three minutes every single day at 1:30 p.m. They are typically the least informed and least interesting people speaking. But the callers are not the stars of the show. That’s cool if you’re somebody like Levi (RIP), who became somewhat of a cult figure on the station. That eventually went out the door and resulted in this situation where now you began to hear the same people, multiple times per day. Years ago, the late Tom Bigby introduced a rule where callers were only allowed to dial in once per week and once on the weekends. I listen to Marks and Reese every day while driving home after picking up my daughter, and I swear to God that “Chuck from Mount Airy” calls at the same exact time. That said, here are seven suggestions for the new Program Director, whoever that ends of being: 1. He was very good at keeping the peace behind the scenes and turning the focus to the important things. That station is a well-oiled machine and pretty much everything Spike did over there ended up working. Fair or not, you see these complaints in the comments that follow any Twitter or Facebook post about the topic.īut the bottom line is that WIP has been a juggernaut for several years now, so whether you like the changes or not, you should give credit where it’s due. They claim nepotism is the reason he got the WIP gig in the first place.
