Matt Allen reads this board. He would have to. He's not that out of the loop. So maybe we can eventually talk some sense into the guy. Dude... stop being pushed aside. You've got TALENT and You deserve better!
I'm going to say it one last time...let's stop trying to push Matt out of the door. He is a big boy and probably knows what is what (when I've met him, very smart person), so let's stop the pretense that he is getting pushed aside and accept that he likes what he is doing where he is doing it.
At the moment, I wouldn't step foot on WHJJ as the place is such a mess that I'd be afraid of losing my job in 3-6 months because Clear Channel makes a decision to do away with ANY local talk there because the ratings just don't support it. Matt would be in a VERY bad position because I don't think Citadel would bring him back if that did happen.
As far as Tony goes, I have had the chance to listen to him a lot over the summer when he's filled in for Helen and just because you can shout over a caller doesn't make you a good host. Neither of them (Helen and Tony) have impressed me with the times I have stopped and listened to either one
