New morning show on The End - "Mornings with Red"

[HowardMBurgers]

I had a chance to hear Red on DC101 (which by the way is a very good active rock station), and found her to be pretty good actually.  In fact as jocks go on the station, she was a star who garnered a big station send-off party.

So before you pile-on with the assumption that unless it's some jock from Seattle's past she can't be any good, at least give her a chance to get her feet wet.

She needs someone to talk to....a sidekick if you will. But other than that, she's pretty good!

I still say Red Robinson would totally ROCK on ANY station.......

I'm reserving judgment until I actually hear something other than her dippy quasi-news bits (lose those, PLEASE!).  Seems to be more music than talk -- at least when I've tuned in -- which, if the news bits are examples of her humor, is definitely a good thing.  Red, the snarky socio-political asides sound phony.  You're a well-paid professional working for a major corporation, not some skater kid outfitted by Goodwill.

As another poster pointed out... at least you're not Lazlo.

I know it is considered impolite but it applies to the schtick or style- how old is she? Mid to late 20s or definitely in her 30s?

If she in still in her 20s then the hip to the kids stuff might be more passable than otherwise.

One of the quips that I thought was too far was about Paramore and a possible break-up not being true  and she said something like "not something to cut yourself about".

P.S. Harms, I don't know if it is your choice or company directive but those teases "and I'll tell you in 7 minutes" are pretty annoying  to me. If you have a thought, I'd say complete it or at least after one song or one commercial break.   If they work, do what you gotta do but I think it is likely ineffective but I am just guessing because they are ineffective on me.  After a few times waiting that didn't seem like 7 minutes.

So, I am actually a DC resident and formally a listener of Whitney "Red" from DC101. She was really nothing more than a glorified groupie with both feet in the past as far as her taste in music goes. Never open to play any new music. Or maybe that was just the station???  [EDIT]
Hope she's got a different image for Seattle.

Uh, I hate to break this to you Spag, but on-air talent don't choose the music.  And sorry, Red didn't on DC101 either..
