Those idiots were also talking about some nonsense not related to sports too.

There are awful podcast personalities as there are awful radio hosts. But the difference is there are far more podcast options which allows you to cherry pick the voices and content you want to listen to. The sports radio landscape in this area is limited-and awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, the station is ultimately owned by Disney whose garbage material coincides with Rosenberg's schtick. the shame is both shows could be good and deliver the content that sports fans tune in for but higher ups want to go for ratings with shock. Kay is there for the name and the Yankees - really does not know zoo about other sports. Rosenberg, for trying to get a younger audience and the occoasional corntoversial hot take. Lagreca is knowledable and would do a good job partnered with a retired sports figure - i will throw out carl banks as an example. On the WFAN side, Tiki actually does a good job. Sure they have him do some stupid schtick stuff as well but just stick to sports and give the insight from a players perspective and you will have an audience. The other two on that show should just leave. So you can make it work, but the powers that be want the shock and awe.

I think he's okay with Tiki (who is probably my favorite weekday guy at the station, and maybe the only good one). My main issue with Evan now is that, after working with Carton, I feel like he's still trying to incorporate some of the "I'm not just a sports talk guy, I'm also a personality!" act into his shows with Tiki. Imo, it never suited him and always felt forced/fake. As far as Morash, I have no idea who decided that idiot belonged on the air. When I hear his voice I immediately change the station. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been listening to Kay predominantly in the afternoon for around 5 years though I do agree Evan should just embrace being the huge sports guy and leave what Carton brought with him. I’m with you I have no idea who let Morash do what he does. Probably that guy Spike Eskin who’s bolting back to Philly, leaving the next PD to handle that mess lol. If WFAN wanted to bring me back over to them for afternoon drive they killed it because the few times I have listened to that show I couldn’t believe how often Morash was on the air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
