I question syndicated crap on news/talk stations. Worse than syndicated crap is the infomercials and paid programming. Citadel is completely in the toilet so it isn't a surprise that Scott Shannon will hold 50 or 60 titles and run half the company because Fagreed and his gang of morons can't. KABC/Los Angeles runs paid programming at 6:00-6:30 pm (8-830 central) drive time.


: Say what you want about him, but he gets results everywhere he's on. New York, Chicago, etc.

: While there are a lot of good jocks that aren't working, the likelihood of most stations hiring them is pretty slim. If the numbers for the network/syndicated hosts are good, why spend the money, especially on the weekends?

: Very few people question syndicated or network hosts in news/talk, but on a music station they are frowned upon. Seems like a double standard to me.
