Changes at KGGO

**Naughtius** · 12-02-2011, 06:34 AM

Shoulda got rid of Lou and kept RG. I've never found Lou remotely funny or entertaining, and he can't sustain a conversation for more than 5 minutes w/o changing the topic to racing.

Lou is about the only radio "institution" in DSM still, outside Van and Bonnie. Still miss the days with Lou and Larry though. Decided to stream the show this morning and see what I have been missing. Same playlist since 1992 it sounds like.

Because Nirvana is now "classic rock". Damn I'm old.

Bradshaw is gone? The only reason I put up with Bob and Tom and Glenn Beck is because I'm too lazy to change the station 2 or 3 times a day at work. I enjoyed listening to him. I didn't always agree with Bradshaw, but it was nice hearing talk about Iowa and getting and getting the other point of view instead of listening to Beck, Hannity, and Limbah all the time.

Just turned my radio station from 98.3 to 105.1, and like I said earlier, I'm too lazy to change stations during the day so I'm sure it will stay there

RG was on Lazer this morning.

Yes because the mgmt at KGGO wouldn't even give him the chance to finish the week and say goodbyes to listeners who have supporting him and the station. On top of that Lou and Heather were not allowed to comment on the situation on their show.

KGGO mgmt is oblivious. It was nice of Moose and Lazer to let RG come on this morning and say his thanks and tell how things went down.

I look forward to hearing RG on the radio again soon.

I just stick with sports radio or music. Tough break for Round Guy. Sounds like they didn't even give him any respect in how the canned him.

For me I like morning shows like Lou, RG and Heather or Morning Moose. I like hearing the local people talk with some music sprinkled in. I hate listening to sportstalk here in DM. I also don't like listening to just music, I like to have the personality of the on air DJ to interrupt the music. Thats just me though.

I have resorted to ESPN radio here in DSM - local sports talk radio is horrendous. I will listen to KXNO when it is the Cyclone Call in Show or if I know Chris is going to be on but otherwise it is the ESPN national radio for me.

1700 "The Champ" is part of the same radio group. I wonder if the new ownership will gut it of all local shows and just go ESPN 24-7?

Lou, RG & Heather were on my radio almost every morning until Morning Moose came along (Mancow got too political on his show, so thank God Lazer dropped him). I haven't been able to put my finger on it, but for some reason, I always enjoyed their birthday trivia game.
