I can't listen to ray or jo D... God bless them but they are no JV. I believe also this will crush WTIC... not to mention his perspective on conservative politics and informing us in Ct and in New England has been removed from the air ways... I bet the Left are rejoicing in Jim's absence from the air ways.. a big void out here in CT..
I'm with you, Fisherman... Although Ray Dunaway is a good guy, I just don't care for his style - he always sounds breathless, and waaay too over-caffeinated to me. And most of his guests that I've heard are not
anywhere as interesting as Jim V's guest were (ie Scott Bates, Col. Ralph Peters, Niles Gardiner, Jonathan Hoenig). No wonder WTIC always has contests (ie the Red Sox ticket giveaway) where you have to listen to Ray's show for the "clue"... ugh.
Joe D. is fine as a sports guy, but I don't want to hear him whine about politics and "civility" for 3 hours a day (even 1 or 2 hours!). What I heard of "Joe D's show" today was horrible.
Unless Jim returns to AM/FM radio somehow, we in CT are going to be worse for it. In a way Jim was sort of our Tea Party "leader" here in CT, or at least a central place in which to discuss issues dear to Tea Partiers.
That's all gone now, and no "blogtalk radio" internet radio show is going to be the same. I predict Jim will retain less than a third of his listeners if he continues his show via some vague blogtalk radio format vs an old-fashioned radio show.
