They've already got a splash page up: http://www.onwithmario.com/pages/splash.html

It's built on the exact same model, so I see no reason why it would be better.  Billy has a lot more radio experience than Mario.

And a hell of a lot more talent, too.

Personally I never cared for Billy Bush, experience not withstanding, it seemed like he had one delivery for everything, kind of loud. Plus I met him once.... Haven't heard Lopez do radio, guess it could be worse than Bush, it's a matter of taste and opinion.

Mario is not really a good radio jock. He fits television better. Mario stint at KHHT with Diana and Michelle didnt last long either a few years ago. Neitherless congrats to him.

Would you settle for Dustin "Screech" Diamond?
