Deliah has incredible talent! As much as some people dislike her, she is very successful and very talented and thus why her ratings are consistently decent.
It's all a matter or opinion. You seem to really like her. I think she's dreadful. You should hear her trainwreck on KBIG in Los Angeles. It's awful.
Here's the neat part, calguy- you are not part of her target audience. She's after women 25-54.
No, I'm not Oldies Cat, however I've been in radio since the 70's, a lot of that time in AC radio and I think I know "good" radio when I hear it. I don't hear it when I listen to Delilah. Her show on KBIG is a mish-mash of mainstream AC hits with up-tempo dance mixes, it's awful and sounds VERY out of place on the station. Plus, she goes on way too long about herself, not what I think a lovesongs style show should be about. I feel that it should be about the listener. But that's "my" opinion. By the way, I've used the "you're not the target audience/demo" line myself, and I don't think it applies here, but you have a right to say what you want.
