Subject: Message To Beck

The WPHT Rally For America on Sunday March 16 is NOT a Glen Beck rally despite what he's saying on the air! Its a station event featuring all of the big talkers.

[> Beck is unlistenable! Between the loud and obnoxious bumpers and his “Rush Wannabe” persona, his ratings are in the toilet in this market as well as many others. I, too, heard him tout “his” rally in Valley Forge. You’re a guest at the rally, Glenn; it’s not all about you…unless you’re taking lessons from another self-promoting Viacom “talent.” -- Pseudonyms Uck, 07:43:45 03/05/03 Wed

[> Did I hear the name Beck?...Grrrrrrr -- Captn Hank, 22:22:16 03/05/03 Wed

I was listening to to Tom Marr this evening. He had a caller from the Philadelphia area. After finishing the call he stated... "Philly has a talk radio station that is in need of repair." He went on to say that MAS, Dom and Rollye were the only hosts worth listening to.

Now I read here that Beck wants to take credit for having a rally. What a loser! I suppose he knows that his show is failing. Give me a break on the '8 weeks'. I couldn't last 8 minutes. Like I have said before, he must have some naked pictures of the upper management in Clear Channel. That is the only way he could keep his job.

I'm looking for WPHT to take the plunge in trying place a "Liberal Talk Show" host on the air. Sell your stock fast folks..... it will take a dive and never recover. Just look at MSNBC and Donahue. The person responsible for that mess should be "keel hauled".

[> [> Why do people say that liberal talk radio CAN'T work? There are plenty of failed conservative hosts out there too. (Fine, fine, add me to that list for now.) But there are a handful of successful liberal talkers: Alan Colmes, Randi Rhodes in West Palm Beach, pretty much the entire roster at Real Radio 104.1-FM in Orlando. I'm sure there are others too. Liberal, conservative, doesn't matter. First and foremost, you have to be ENTERTAINING. The hosts I mentioned are. -- "Vince From Villanova" (wannabe talk-show host extraordinaire), 15:46:32 03/06/03 Thu

Do you actually think Alan Colmes is entertaining? Good grief, is it entertaining to watch him make a fool of himself just about every night on FNC? I will admit, he would fare better on radio..... he is very hard on the eyes.

[> [> [> [> Alan Colmes "WOULD fare better on radio"? He already is on radio, and has been for a while in New York City, and he's just been rolled out for some small-scale national syndication as well. (WMEL here in Melbourne just added him.) I rarely agree with him, but he actually makes me think, unlike the parade of syndicated conservative clones that masquerade as talk show hosts on many stations. Just because I agree with a host doesn't mean I like to listen to them. -- "Vince From Villanova" (Don't make me nod. Make me think.), 06:03:36 03/07/03 Fri

I could have sworn that I heard his radio show was cancelled in NYC. Did one station cancel him and another then pick him up? I know one thing, I won't be searching the AM dial to find him.

[> [> [> [> [> [> As I heard it, he was once on an AM talker in NYC that format-flipped on him. I'm hardly an expert on his career, but I've heard he's not at all a ratings lightweight. That's why Fox News paired him with Sean Hannity. -- "Vince From Villanova" (Liberals are people too...), 17:18:38 03/08/03 Sat

[> John & Ken filled in today. Pretty good, despite the subject matter which was more of the same old right-wing crap... -- Jim Walsh, 21:47:37 03/06/03 Thu

It is interesting that you made that observation. I was driving in center city yesterday and had to turn the radio off. They were talking over each other and both sounded like they drank WAY too much coffee. They made Beck sound good.

Over at Free Republic, they think this was Beck's idea. The Horror!!!!
