Get rid of Roe and replace him with Mancow and Cassidy. Mancow make Roe look like a college Dee Jay.

Comment on Jacobson To Join Roe Conn Show by Jamie

I absolutely loved it when Roe and Gary were together with Jim and Christina. Once Gary left the show it did create a void but then I feel it seemed to increase the role that Jim and Christina had on the show and it worked beautifully! Talk about chemistry! Bill was a nice guy but I didn’t feel he added anything to the show so I haven’t missed him in the least. But trading Christina for Amy – really!!! What are they thinking!! The trio of Roe, Jim and Christina should not have been messed with!

I think Man Cow was a big mistake, he is like listening to a high school punk. I have to switch channels and listen to Glen Beck who is great, I feel like I learned somethying when I listen to him. Roe and Cisco was an odd match, felt like Roe was molesting a virgin, Cisco is a good man of respect keep it that way. His partner should be Jerry, bring him back and you will have a show, just let Jerry know he works for Cisco. Try it and you got a world series team.

Comment on Sirott Out at WGN, Shakeups Continue by Bob Manewith

As a former news director at WGN Radio & Television, I opine that Dave Stewart was the best City Hall broadcast reporter since Mike Neighoff, who was (among the) first broadcast beat reporters when he was at WBBM-TV. Stewart has done a wonderful job over the years. His dismissal, along with the ouster of former news director Wes Bleed, are sad developments at a station I called home for 37 years.

Cotto is bad. Real bad. That fella needs to easy up on the one liners. Cotto is all chatter, no real actual thoughts.

I too have grown steadily tired of the “mightier than thou” attitude of Mr. Conn. He comes off as a bit pompass and it is clear his ego is out of control. I can see why the listening public has turned on him. He has treated many callers is such a way as to marginalize anyone who does not believe the way he does.
He needs to get with the program or go away.

I became a fan of the Roe Conn show when it was still Roe and Garry. After a couple of years of listening Garry was gone, I still listened. I liked Bill Leff, but I really liked Christina and Jim Johnson. When Christina got screwed over in favor of Amy Jacobson I pretty much had enough of Roe Conn. I listen infrequently now. I am often disgusted with Roe’s apparent excuse making for Obama. I really have no problem with Amy but Christina was a better personality. I like Ron Magers as well. I now listen far more to Mancow and Cassity. We will see how Roe fairs in the near future. Good luck Roe!
