KXNO Morning show

[cjb1978]

This morning on my drive in I heard them go pretty far in-depth on the NFC Central which was good. Talked very little about the Chiefs even though the premise of their NFL discussion was teams that you were surprised to see at 2-0. I think the Chiefs deserved a little more time since there are so many Chief fans around here.

They spent all of three minutes discussing Iowa St before rolling into a 20 minute discussion on the Hawks loss which included breaking down play calling, taking phone calls, etc.

From what I gathered from their discussion; since ISU was in a position to win the game and didn't then there is little hope for a bowl game. Since Iowa was in a position to win the game and didn't they will be fine and there is no need to panic.

They said that Walters and Dolphin will both be on the program at some point in the morning but I didn't get to hear that portion. I would guess that Dolphin gets more specific questions about the game than Walters gets as they didn't seem to demonstrate very much knowledge about Iowa St.

Overall... meh. they were ok.

Wasn't impressed by them all at, actually turned the channel back to 107.5 to listen to the same song being repeated every 10 minutes this morning.

Yeah, not appointment radio for sure. I half-way follow the Hawks and generally root for them when they don't play us so maybe I can tolerate more. That and I'm a huge Bear's fan so discussion of there 2-0 start makes me smile! Would have liked to catch more of the second hour but we aren't allowed to stream at work and I can't get a signal in my building.

Van Coleman's voice was very hard to listen to this morning,
Chalk board scratchy. Heard 2 segments and he couldn't work the Hawks into either.

I don't think anyone that's going to be on is going to be polished at this point, I liked Walters on and Van was okay. He's going to want lots of calls though, which is good and bad.

 

[CycoCyclone]

I was out on vacation last week, so I missed that Miller and Deace are done.

Boy did I not enjoy "hawk talk" from 7 am on this morning.

 

[Tedcyclone]

shock jocks are okay if they give their honest opinion. i dont like it if they just say things to tick people off that they dont beleive.

 

[Al_4_State]

Who the hell were the new hosts?

 

[GeronimusClone]

My ideal host(s) would be somebody who has a good sense of humor, quick wit, finger on the pulse of what's going on in sports nationally as much as locally, and loves to infuse pop culture into the normal flow of the show. I don't want a former coach, athlete or strict sports-only person. I don't like hearing about "when I played/coached" over and over. It's OK on occasion, but after awhile it's a turn off. Having played college/pro sports doesn’t instantly make you a journalist or good radio personality.

I listened from 6:30 top 6:45 this AM and all Van Colman talked about was how his career has matured and how he thinks he is the right guy for the job. I only had 15 mins to listen, but it was boring...

That was a little tiring. I turned it back on when I got to the office, and he was a bit better. I think he's probably capable, but I want to listen to some others before I form a real opinion.

Well, I would prefer a show with only neutral or Cyclone fans. In general, Iowa State fans on the radio tend to be a little more realistic and less annoying then the Hawk fans that are sure that every year they are the #1 team in the country.

I'd love to see Chris, but apparently he doesn't want it. Then I would love to see Blum get a chance if he wants it. Ben Bruns would probably have a smart show, too bad he already has a good day job. I am probably in the minority, but I like Chuck Reed.

I heard yesterday that Bobby Hanson and Tim Dwight are being considered. I am pretty sure Tim Dwight is an idiot, so that would be annoying. I would also be annoyed if that Tim Dyer guy that used to do radio got it.

I'm guessing that they don't want anyone that they actually have to hire as a FT employee, so that leaves someone with another job somewhere, who wants to get up for a 6:00 am show.

Wow

 

[Clonehomer]

I'd love to listen but KXNO doesn't work for the Android. Fail

But that doesn't keep them from advertising that it does!

Does anyone know if BJ Schaben will get a shot?

 

[cyfan50438]

Is there a site that has a podcast, heard about 5 min. of the show.

 

[captain7cf]

I was curious too for a podcast... Kenny said he would let us know where they were posting it when they figured it out...

I didn't get to hear it today sounds like I didnt miss alot but I would like to hear it to give him a fair shot... Its probably pretty hard to talk for 2 hours straight when you havent ever tried...

You don't have a wife or girlfriend do you?

Who's got next?

Please let me know if BJ will get a chance and what date, because I don't want to accidentally hear that.

Seems like a nice guy. Wasn't all that thrilled. Agree, with another poster that voice is a bit harsh. As he signed off, he indicated his show would be caller driven. Meh. perfer a morning show to be host driven with calls being minimal.

John Hernandez from prairie meadows today, seems like silvestrini is driving the show today so maybe johns a sidekick candidate.

This is exactly what I thought as well. I wasn't a huge fan. I thought Van Coleman was much better. Granted I only heard about 20 minutes but the only "insight" I got from this guy was that Favre looked old and the Vikings/Cowboys are 0-2. Zzzzzzzzzz.

I would be curious to listen to the podcasts of both shows to give them all a fair shake.
