Tell me you don't listen to IE without telling me you don't listen to IE.
Gave it another shot today. After about 15 minutes I was out. If you’re interested in two guys talking about their personal lives/ weekends , good for you I guess.

I turned it on at 4:42 and the first word I heard was Caitlin and switched the channel.

I know it's summer so sports talk lags but man KXNO has basically turned into non-stop CC talk. I don't mind if they want to spend a segment on her but please move onto other things. It's baseball season, football teams are signing guys, i don't follow or care for racing but I'd probably wouldn't turn the channel if I heard anything but CC at this point. There are probably enough baseball fans in the market you could probably spend 50% of the show talking MLB and it would be more interesting than the constant dissecting of the latest CC news. It's to the point if I turn on KXNO and they are talking CC and the same over analyzed stories we've been hearing for the past week I won't waste time listening anymore, I've got CC fatigue at this point.

Weird how these shows have had Producer openings in the past but none of you guys applied. In the end listen or don't listen, you have that freedom. But then the staunch hate is hilarious because it shows you just listen anyways.

No one wants to make $15 per hour.

You aren’t going to get much local talent to do these KXNO gigs with what they want to pay. It would have to be a passion, a side gig, or you’d have to be crazy to want to do these local radios shows for the pay.

It's a low paying job with a fast pace work environment to multi task and sometimes thankless hours as well. Had a friend that once was a producer at WHOTV 13 many years ago that said the title should have been called tape monkey. If they produced the morning show you'd be in by 2am to queue up all the video to run stories for the newscast and sometimes would not know the lead story until 15 minutes before you went on air. That was TV so probably more things to manage at once than radio since you have visuals but even with radio you have to manage incoming calls, finding random audio on the spot, while also having a quick finger to hit the dump button when someone drops a f-bomb while also being able to contribute to conversation. All that for crap pay too, you could probably wait tables or bartend and make way more in tips.

That's exactly what the KXNO local shows talk about most of the time. One of the reasons I stopped listening.
