Dust up on KXNO this am?

[capitalcityguy]

What was the issue this morning the guys were upset about? It sounds like there was a tweet from a Justin Wise slamming the show or something? Sorry, I only caught the end of the show. I know there is a Justin Wise that is a social media type consultant in DM….I can only assume that is who they were referring to?

Maybe someone can locate the “offendingâ€￾ tweet?

They spent a lot of time talking about Mr. Skin's top 150 nude celebrity scenes...seemed to have gone over well with some but other guys wanting sports takes were annoyed. These guys have openly admitted you won't get much X & O talk from them.

@KXnOMorningRush gave you guys another shot this morning. Never again. Complete and total trash. #DesMoines deserves better.

Those guys are the worst. I waste three minutes every morning before I realize I can change the station. It's not only the stupid content and uninformed thoughts, but all the "dead air" time. They are just bad at their jobs.

Its basically WWE in the studio now?

 

[Mtowncyclone13]

how do you people listen to talk radio in the morning? its so boring!

 

[nickcyv]

My commute is only 15ish minutes but I always tune in to see whats going on and I always flip the station. They just talk about nothing that interests me. The show is very unprofessional and lacks any meaningful content. In fairness, they do often admit they are a trashy show.

Ok, not the Justin Wise I went to ISU with.

Morning Rush is useless.

Trashy is acceptable as long as you admit it.

Haha, I don't know if it makes it better or not. They do warn you.

I'm with Mr Wise. Their morning radio show is awful.

I like Travis Justice, But Ross Peterson sucks. At least they got rid of that Corey Lathrup guy.

Travis seems like he might be fun to hang out with, maybe, but he's a bad sports radio guy. Like real bad.

 

[madcityCY]

Not much of a dust-up. They got off topic (boobs... courtesy of Travis Justice) like usual, and Travis then read a few frustrated listener tweets. They then kept referring to Justin Wise's tweet throughout the show.

Morning Rush isn't great, but it's not terrible either (IMO!!!). I think Ross Peterson is a really talented radio-guy, but I'm not sure this show is going to make him everything he can be.

Thursdays at 7:30 when they have Bruno on, from El Bait Shop, best part of their show. Rest of the week seems to suck.

I use to ride the bus to school with him years ago. He was such a putz. His nickname was Slobberboy because he would purposely drool on himself to amuse the bully kids at the back of the bus so they wouldn't pick on him.

What's the average morning commute in DSM? 15 minutes? 30 minutes?

 

[Bret44]

Bob and Tom has Chick McGee at the sports desk. Just listen to them.

 

[Gunnerclone]

The Morning Shill. Terrible show:

30 minutes of Omaha Brewery tour commercials
30 minutes of Dunkin Donuts contests
30 minutes of talking about "cans" and "jugs"
30 minutes of pondering if the one female that tweets and calls the show is "hot"

I get the "don't like it don't listen" take, however, its not that easy as I know there could be something so much better which keeps me interested in the subject.

 

[im4cyclones]

The only reason I can think of as to why this show is still on the air is because of the trouble they had filling the spot in the first place. If you were a listener back then, the open auditions were mostly horrible.

Is bad local radio better/worse than plugging in national radio? In my opinion, yes. But the suits must not think so.

Agree. Not the best show in Des Moines, but I will listen every morning. Maybe I'm weird, but they typically will make me laugh once or twice each morning.
