WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE

[LAUROJRM]

  This is regarding the "Bad Word" that you heard on WEEI. We all here in Boston should consider ourselves extreemly lucky to have such a good station. Yes, sometimes they say some words or a sentence that we may not like. So, if you don't like what you hear, call them or email them and ask them not to say those bad words or bad sentences again.

   Yes, they are a great radio station in Boston. We are truely very lucky to have this station in Boston.
WEEI is one of the most famous Sports Talk Radio Station in Boston. Most people I talk to (both) men and women listen to this station from Bus Drivers, Co-workers husband, My Priest at Church, the Police, The Chinese Delivery Person, the Arabic Guys who work at that certain Parking Lot Collection Box.
So, yo, we are very truely very lucky to have this station in Boston. (Recently 2005-2007 There was a Weekday Womens Talk Radio Network 9am-Midnight with a few different hosts at those times throughout the weekday and Saturday morning, it was something like "Green---Radio Network" But it got canceled around November 2007 because not enough stations picked it up). Just consider yourself lucky that we WEEI


    If you don't like some word or sentence that you heard, contact the proper people at that station, ask them not to say that word or sentence again. Be cool about it.

    Thank you very much for your time.

I'm not sure I got the point of the original post in this thread, but if I read it correctly, the author is asking us to pardon WEEI this one mistake.

I applaud Mr. Wolfe for asking his employees to try to help the station's image by posting on this board, by the way ;o)

Look, this won't knock the station off the air.  But they really need to be VERY careful going forward, especially if someone complained.  I'm no puritan, but we need to play by certain rules in this biz.  Some of the rules may be antiquated,  but they are there, along with potential punishments they carry.

Just to chime in as the original poster of the "Bad" word thread...
I'm no prude, I know all the tunes and all the words and use them regularly in my off air life.
I have become aware of my own sense that this is about arrogance on EEI's part...
I haven't stopped listening to EEI, that would be too easy. I would rather raise the banner for better radio. There have been rules, conventions and traditions in radio that *we* can't thumb our noses at and ignore. I get it...maybe there isn't "a list" of words per se but how about just trying to class it up a notch or two?
Is it better radio when one uses these so called "bad" words? Oooooh edgy...I can say the F or S or P word.
We are "lucky" when intelligence reigns over crude street language. Maybe I am just asking that EEI and others, make us luckier and class the dial up a bit!?

How is it any less wrong to be arrogant as a radio station than it is to be arrogant as a baseball player, just because you can and people will turn a blind eye or a deaf ear?

Oh, and as an aside...could someone please tell folks, Like LJ, that the term is "Anyway" not AnywayS".

Yes, but are we lucky to have this station?

The Greenstone radio network, co-run by Gloria Steinem and I believe Jane Fonda, got to have only about
8 affiliates and went under. One station was WNSH in Beverly, which still calls itself women's talk radio
since the hosts from 6 am to 6 pm are female (or at least the morning show is co-hosted by a woman;
then they have Laura Ingraham, Dr Joy Browne, and Tammy Bruce...but from 6 pm to 6 am the hosts,
like Michael Reagan, are male.
Another Greenstone station was up on AM 1070 in Burlington VT; they are still women's talk radio (including
Stephanie Miller) these days (daytimer) as Eve 1070

I don't know what you mean here



All I am saying is, if you hear a bad word or bad sentence....ask them not to say it again. No hurt no one.


I don't mean no harm. I don't hurt no one, so  please, don't think bad of me



When I listen to the radio, I don't like to hear bad things, I like to hear good, not bad



All I try is to do good


so please

I do not think bad of you at all.  I was making a lighthearted comment that for you to come out so strongly in favor of this station, you must work there!  It was a joke. 

Seriously, though, some people may have been offended.  It's their right.   Granted, most stations have a relatively harmless slip up like this at one time or another.  I just hope the folks on WEEI are more careful.
