Exactly!!!
I don't care whether you think John Slyvester is a genius or a lump... He's broadcasting. He lives here. He talks about here. He's a local communicator. He's gainfully employed!
He's not "Bill Handel on the Law," "Dave Ramsey," "Delilah," or "Elvis Duran," none of whom live here, pay taxes here, have kids in our schools, or give blood to our blood bank.
When I started in radio there were about 4 "national" shows: Paul Harvey, Casey Kasem, Robert W. Morgan, PowerLine.. Radio was 98% "local." What's the percentage today?????
While you hate on Sly (or Vicki, or Charlie) is your own PD considering "more cost-effective ways of covering YOUR shift??
