I tried listening but sorry it just does not work for me. Chris & Jon are going to be very hard to replace. the 3 you have now-yikes awful. Get Chris & Jon back if you want any kind of ratings. what a joke KIDO has become.

(Jon and Chris) Perhaps absence makes the heart grow fonder, but it's like I lost two good, trusted friends. The new guy - Norton? - (Ed Norton?) - makes me realize how truly talented Jon & Chris were at the unscripted banter. Nowadays it's read-the-news, road-report, weather, 2 minutes of LAME banter, and repeat. (Dave tries, and he's MUCH more informed than Norton, but it's hard to listen to nowadays. Not as hard as Paul J, though!!!) Earlier this week, Norton and Dave were bantering about the upcoming BSU/Idaho game. Norton said something like, "Sometimes those teams who have nothing to lose are the most dangerous," obviously referring to Idaho. WHAT? Buy a clue, Norton! Idaho is 3-0 in the WAC!!! (I'm a Bronco fan, by the way.) I could keep a notepad next to the radio and scribble down 3 or 4 such gaffes every morning. The guy is a yokel! World peace... an end to hunger... Jon and Chris back! (I don't ask for much.) I sure miss ‘em! (Jon and Chris) Perhaps absence makes the heart grow fonder, but it’s like I lost two good, trusted friends.

GM's and PD's, like all other employees have a mandate, and among those is to make money....if they do not meet that mandate, they are not getting fired, they are firing themselves, because they didn't do the job they were hired to do.
