Bogey out at 97.1

[Deleted User 15225]

Blown out.

[JLesinski]

He was all over the place. He could bring it when he wanted to with solid opinions and solid broadcasting skills but then he'd ruin it with dumb jokes, sexual inuendos or laughing when nothing funny was said or implied. I actually think he was capable of a lot more if he couldve reigned in those shortcomings.

What about lazy Wojo?

I actually thought Kyle Bogey was pretty good on the air. Didn't always agree with his opinions, but he sounded polished. Not nearly as rough around the edges behind the mic as some of the part-timers heard on 97.1.

How is Wojo lazy?

Wojo is not lazy...I like his show, like his columns in the Det News as well....

Well, look what I found:

I think Kyle might be more interested in TV broadcasting. Would not surprise me if he joins channel 7 on a permanent basis.

I actually don’t think he’s all that bad on 7. He speaks better than Justin Rose does.

Couldn't have happened to a better piece of crap.

Kyle has been quite good when he's filled in............did not seem out of place at all. I think TV is more in his future than radio.

Hey........which one of our staffers is expecting a baby in two weeks.....................Oh, that one...............That's the one to fire (less insurance, right?). Entercom sucks.

Right. He has potential to better but for some reason he thought people liked listening to jokes teenagers told.

On a different note, Pat Caputo got laid off from The Oakland Press after 37 years today.

Whether you like Bogey or not, it's good to finally see some young talent coming up through the ranks, as opposed to the same old familiar retreads.

I don't wish unemployment on anybody but I didn't much care for the guy. He seemed to have too much of an "I'm always right because I'm the smartest guy in the room" thing for my taste.

Compare a typical Wojo column today to one from 15 years ago.

He has really dumbed down his writing style. Some of his columns used to be mini literary masterpieces. These days, he writes at a fifth grade level. He also is a master of "stating the obvious." He never comes to the table with anything particularly insightful anymore.

In other words, he's evolved. I don't see any changes in his work.
