Yesterday was McCown and Brunt………….today it’s Farraway and Shannon………….what a dropoff…………but I guess it could be worse………….it could have been Farraway and Toth.
It might be a good day to wander up the dial to Wilbur and Son of Hayes
Can there possibly less compelling radio ever than Farraway screaming at the top of his lungs during one of his rants and Mr. Mcgoo playing the straight guy. I tuned in and out within 2 seconds once I heard who was hosting and side-kicking PTS.
Farraway and Shannon on the air at the same time — with nobody else — for an extended period is probably more effective than waterboarding (and only marginally more ethical).
Shannon is an insufferable know-it-all (really, what IS this guy’s real sports background other than broadcasting?) who sounds like a Speak-n-Spell most of the time.
Farraway is….Farraway.
@Mike S: I actually would have taken Toth over either of them. Toth had his moments when he wasn’t channeling Jim Carey, which, unfortunately, was 98% of the time. Still, I’d take my chances on the 2% showing up before suffering another 10 seconds of the Farraway and Shannon show. I’ve never changed a radio station with such a sense of triumph.
You know, here’s something I don’t get: PTS is a brand. Kind of like, say, a restaurant. Wouldn’t someone…somewhere…want to ensure that, even if the chefs change because of *cough* “occasional host illness” that the patrons don’t get served dog food? I mean, isn’t anyone at the Fan worried that the quality drop from McCowan and everyone else is SO big?
Had to drive up north yesterday AM. Turned on 590 morning show,after 8-10 minutes I was looking for a gas bar/convenience store to buy a bottle of Pine-Sol to spike my coffee,switch.
So,like passing by a burning schoolhouse to watch I flipped 590 back on after 10 to hear a hu hu aah ah hum well seasoned sports host,that lasted about 10 minutes till I change to 560 to hear static (I was better entertained)..
And for strike 3 , came to this site to read Farrway & Shannon to host PTS.
Maybe will tune back in in June or July to hear the new staff.
