Yes, that makes sense because it's a classic blunder which programmers often trip over. They hire someone at a cheap rate, with a fair to middling delivery in hopes the guy will learn how to connect with his listeners while on the job, and if that doesn't happen they hope at least a fair delivery will carry him.

Never happens though because listeners aren't stupid, they always recognize phoney when they hear it.

The Doobies on bumper music! Yay!

Isn't DFW where SMN started and are they still around or were they swallowed up by another sat programmer?

Yep. I had read several years back that Noory was initially successful in keeping Coast to Coast AM going, but that he slowly began to shed listeners and stations. When our local blowtorch cut him loose, I knew things must be sliding downhill badly for the show. Dallas ain't exactly Podunk.

I think it was to be expected. Noory didn't create Coast to Coast AM - Art did, and no one can do that show the way he can.

SMN?
