Post Stern: David Lee Roth's Program --- opinions?
Vanity ^ | January 7, 2006 | Vanity

Posted on 01/07/2006 5:56:46 AM PST by mcg2000

Our market lost the broadcast from WFNY (KROCK) during the post Stern transition.

How was DLR's program this week? What are his leanings on the day-to-day news issues? If it matters, we've inherited Grover's Morning Glory and it's horrible ......

Is DLR a practicing Jew and/or does he discuss the middle east?

What's up with the vanity spamming? Do these questions really need their own thread?

I listened to Roth (as he is referring to himself)for the entire week due to the fact that my radio clock alarm is set to Krock in NYC. He is at times, painful to listen to. During his interview with Stern a few weeks ago, he indicated that he would be addressing political issues on his program. The only problem is that the guy is an uninformed idiot. Put it this way, He is as good an interviewer as Howard is a rock musician.

Actually, get this, he's been a paramedic in NYC for a while now and loving it. Question is, will he continue with it AND do the DJ spot. Or, quit being a paramedic.

Remember the "Just a Gigolo" video? A fitting end to his career.

I was picked up by the paramedics in NYC back in 2003. I was in too much pain to look closely at these guys- so who knows. I seemed to have survived. :-)

I saw DLR at Milwaukee's Summerfest in July. He was revolting to the point where fans started leaving.

No class in his act at all.

KRock is finished. They have destroyed the station. "92 Free" is the worst, the whole thing, every show. I tried it for 3 days last week and will not be returning. Deleted from the presets. How they could can the music is beyond me. Roth's show is disturbingly unlistenable. RIP KRock.

an end to the musical career. Like Jimmuh Carter, he is reinventing himself as a radio talk show host. Might be funny to tune in. That is what entertainment is about at least sometimes.

Don't plan on taking him too seriously.

Howard Stern made a great career move going to satellite radio for broadcast radio is in it's death throes.

Honestly, I don't know how anybody can stand commercial radio (AM/FM). The constant barrage of commercials (now pushing 20-25 minutes an hour), the canned weather/traffic reports, the annoying DJs who try to create a "morning zoo" atmosphere with their lame jokes, sound effects and mindless chitter-chatter. When they do get around to playing actual music, it is usually something you've already heard over a thousand times before yet it is still being touted as a "current hit."

How many times must we hear "100 Years" by Five for Fighting anyhow? Or "One Week" by the Barenaked Ladies? You still have Top 40 stations playing these two songs in heavy rotation even though these songs have been out for years now. It is absolutely mind-numbing.

I've got playlists on my iPod larger than the entire libraries of these idiot radio stations.

It's been a long time since I've listened to talk radio as well and that's a shame because I used to love talk radio. But there are just too damn many commercials and interruptions. You literally get seven minutes of Rush Limbaugh and then eleven minutes of commercials. NO thanks.

When I subscribed to satellite radio about a year and a half ago (on a lark), I was stunned with how good radio can be. Over 100 stations of crystal-clear, commercial-free music in every conceivable music genre and subgenre. DJs that are passionate about what they are playing (as opposed to those FM jocks who only pretend to be enthusiastic about the dreck their bosses make them play).

I will never go back to AM/FM radio even if the satellite radio company doubles their rates on me. Yeah, AM/FM radio is "free" but so is walking barefoot on pavement on a 100 degree day. Just because it is free, it doesn't mean that you have to make yourself suffer.

MY only beef with satellite radio is that the talk stations they have do feature commercials. This is evidently because they are simulcasting broadcast talk shows and need to fill in the time when the talk shows hosts are taking commercial breaks.

I'm hoping that over time, quality talk show hosts move over to satellite radio and go commercial-free. I think that will happen over time.

As for Howard Stern, he gets a lot of flack here and he probably deserves it. His show is raunchy, sophomoric and caters to the lowest common denominator in our society. But I think he made the correct choice moving over to satellite radio. Now he won't have to worry about the FCC or pissing off advertisers and his listeners will have to pony up some cash in order to hear him. Whether you like Stern or not, it is good to see the free market at work. If he can find 10 million people to pay $10 a month to listen to him, all the power to him.

I second your views on the state of am/fm radio today. Well stated. I listen to NPR a lot to avoid the commercial garbage. But, obviously, it is so biased to the left it is almost funny.....

I think RIP KRock is exactly "92free's" strategy. I don't know if Dave is gonna get enough ratings in the end but after listening for a few days I'm convinced that the new format is a bid for a new audience. There is no point in trying to compete with Stern on his own turf.

I listened to the full Thursday 1-5-06 DLR program before I went to sleep Friday night. I will concede that the show sounded much better than Tuesday or Wednesday. I noticed that DLR's show spent quite a bit of time (at least on Thursday, 1-5-06) taking calls on men's and family issues. Some of of the men that come here from men's rights boards might be interested in listening. There are download links at David's site.
