Yes, it's called catharsis.

I can honestly say, I've listened to the morning show MAYBE 7 times since Bill started on mornings. I couldn't stand even 30 seconds of the show. Now, I'm going to check it out.
Funny thing, I was getting in the shower a little while ago, turned on the shower radio (97.1 is one of the only stations that comes in) and I caught Mike Valenti and Jamie on crosswalk and heard Mike say that tomorrow would be the final show with Jamie and Wojo together and that Jamie was going to mornings.
I knew, without a shadow of doubt, Bill was gone. I actually let out a loud "YES!" Of course, I had to jump on the buzzboard to verify lol.
I also beleive it was a conflict with someone at the station. One thing I've noticed is on Foul Feedback, the first one or 2 that Valenti ran, he read emails ripping on everyone. Then, after those first couple, MV never read any ripping on Bill. I also remember him saying, without saying names, that there were certain ones he couldn't read because it made certain people upset. Also, MV did a bit a while back where you could call in and make your own lineup of the personalities on 97.1 you could team whoever with whoever, but whoever was replaced was fired. There were quite a few callers, the majority that would get rid of Bill lol. So...all that being said, maybe Bill and MV had issues? Or maybe Bill was just a whiny, crybaby bitch?
Bill, if you happen to read this, you got EXACTLY what you deserved. Obviously, you meant nothing to the station. You were a prick and Karma bit you. Serves you right. Mark my words, you'll never get another shot at a morning gig again, especially in this market. Bye bye. Maybe try for a gig in Alaska....
Sorry for not being up to date, I've lived out of state for a few years, but McAllister breeded? I thought he was all about not having kids.riggs wrote:brianp48093 wrote:FINALLY!!!!!

Bill, if you happen to read this. Fuck that guy. Good luck to you and your family. Rough waters ahead with twins at home, but its the deal all of us make when we get in this business. Chin up, see ya 'round.
I certainly have no insight. But again it would seem management would be reluctant to break up a working formula.rizzman87 wrote:If the ratings were high most likely Moss is right saying Bill was not well liked by the staff at 97.1. Also kind of strange Stoney just signed a new deal and already has a new partner.
I realize everybody has their own personal preferences and tastes. I realize Dan Leach ain't the greatest guy to ever talk in to a microphone. But I still don't get the level of vitriol toward the guy that many guys in here seem to have. To me he is fairly easy going, doesn't seem to have the overly large ego many radio people seem to have. He doesn't come across as angry all the time. I think he has a reasonable sports knowledge. I'm not sure any of those guys are as smart as they come across when it comes to spouting statistics to make a point....they are reading crap off a computer screen pulled up for them by some behind the scene lackey.Robespierre wrote:Btw...Dan Leach is the worst Broadcaster I've ever heard.He's proof, if the death of Radio.
Exactly. Jamie will talk about Academy Award winners and his sports opinions are basically zero. Jamie is the ultimate fence rider.joe60 wrote:Stoney has been crap since his WDFN days and does not belong on morning radio. Maybe he will keep his clothes on now
Just think...we'd get stuck with Kyle Bogey, who's young and probably lower paid than the vets. His arrogance level exceeds Bill's.Robespierre wrote:The Reason they didn't renew Mc'Allister's deal is because CBS is selling the Radio Division.They are cutting everywhere.You will see more of them.Eventually,the Station will be Valenti and the low paid talent.Btw...Dan Leach is the worst Broadcaster I've ever heard.He's proof, if the death of Radio.
