I predict that WBZ radio’s wrong-headed decision to replace overnight personality Steve LeVeille with a syndicated program originating in St. Louis will be a total failure. Here’s an audio clip of Jordan Rich introducing Jon Grayson, host of Overnight America, with a real party line of BS.
[audio:http://www.dograt.com/Audio/2009/JAN/Wbz1030.mp3]It’s telling that Grayson is on the other end of a regular phone line, and not coming over a high quality link. Nothing against Grayson personally, because I’ve never heard of him before, but I have no interest in listening to his show.
Maybe Steve LeVeille will issue a statement on his website. Wherever he goes, I’ll follow.
Of course, I’ve never known WBZ as anything but what it was when I left for PA in 1984, and I hardly listened to it back then. I see Steve hasn’t posted his thoughts yet; he must be REALLY choosing his words carefully. Don’t look to me for any good comments on this subject; I still miss Larry Glick! 😉 Remember his engineer “Muck Mire?” I think he was partially blind.
