Joe Scarborough
Wow, I can see the plan by WMAL now. Balance their line up before the feds make them.
Chris Plante is excellent and I am sure as hell not going to listen to Joe and Mika. Isn’t Laura Ingraham on at the same time?
Joe & Mika: Absolutely the WORST talk show hosts I ever heard.
I’d rather listen to glass breaking.
Joe Scarborough
Don’t forget Michael Graham. I’m guessing I will be employing my other options. Hoping Plante ends up elsewhere soon. Also, Glenn Beck is available locally now at AM 1580.
Do you really think that the whole flippin world knows that WMAL is in D.C.? Perhaps in the future you could add something somewhere along the line to let us know where it is that you are worried about your local radio show.
WABC-AM has had Scarborough’s show for several months now. There’s not enough money in the universe to make me listen to it.
Dumping Chris Plante so we can hear the squawking of the #$&%@ Mika?
Nope, not going to be listing from 10-12 anymore.
Time to send negative feedback to the advertisers.
I went to Citadel Media/Broadcasting web site, top left (of course) corner “Air America Media”
Watch out, that’s how it’s going to happen, buy the network, cancel the local conservative talk hosts/hostesses and then go for the kill of the “big guys”
No reason for Congress to write laws, the market place will take care of it.
First, Michael Graham in August of 2005.
Then, Chris Core in February 2008.
Now in just over a year later, Chris Plant???
You guys fired Austin Hill not too long ago this year too?
Just what gives WMAL? I like Fred, Andy and Brian fine, but 5 hours????
What is it that everyone at the station is not talking about?
I love Rush, but I really loved Chris Plant’s insight on what’s going on locally, Regionally and within that tiny speck of land mass, in halls of Congress.
Unreal! Chris Plante is a gem. One of the most talented and insightful conservative voices on the radio. How disappointing!
Chris Plante’s show was my favorite on local morning radio. Provocative, insightful, and entertaining. I just tried listening to Scarborough’s show for an hour or so. Never again. It sucks bad. Really bad. Very juvenile. WMAL can probably kiss their advertising revenue goodbye from 10-12am.
I emailed the station GM. I’m done. I will not listen to that station during the 9-12 time slot. Chris was great and Scarborough cannot hold a candle to him.
I really miss my daily dose of Chris Plante. He’s the reason I got more active in my local politics. An extra hour of Grandy and Andy is alright, but seriously?...Joe Scarborough? I’d rather catch Mancow and Laura Ingraham over on 530AM (even though that station in nearly all static in my area). I sure hope Chris gets another gig soon—I’d love to listen to him again.
I listen to Chris Plante as often as I can, and usually time my lunch break so that I can catch some of his show. He was one of the best Conservative voices on radio. I didn’t know until just now that they’d let him go. I heard some other host yesterday and today, I thought it was a fill-in. Then I heard a promo for him on the way home.
This is quite a disappointment. I’m really sorry to see this. I guess I’ll listen to something else in that time slot.
Joe was a wuss, kissing butt. He cried and got choked up over Obama’s speech in the Iowa primary. You can’t count on these wobbly “conservatives”. I think maybe he needs a shot of testosterone.
My name is Ed Johnson from Silver Spring MD and now that WMAL has dropped Chris Plante I will no longer listen to their station. First Chris Core and now Chris Plante. This is out of control.
I liked Chris the instant I heard him.
But I hadn’t understood how small Chris’ reach was. While you WMAL listeners are, justifiably, upset, you may not realized that he had a couple hours on air here in the Tennessee Valley on WVNN replacing Heraldo Revera. Now we have a host out of Birmingham who does Alabama politics. Yea, that is important, but 2 hours on the state budget and road projects will only go so far.
I hope he comes back. Someday some bright station manager will put the trifecta together - Plante, Limbaugh, Levin. That would be nine hours of radio I wouldn’t miss.
