They 're fun, and involved in the community. How much community involvement can Bob and Tom offer? By the way, gt, "stale" is the correct spelling, not stail. If you're gonna be critical, at least spell the insult correctly! J105 has freshened itself quite a bit with a fresh approach to mornings with Pete and Joe.

Seriously? Bob & Tom ONLY managed to land #2, and that was persons 12+. And amongst dudes 18-49, seriously, you want to stick a spork in the number one morning show? For J-105, we tied for fourth in "stations that guys like to listen to" category. Both rock stations in well in the demos we were going for. But hey, stick a fork in us. We can't get those teenagers to listen to us! BTW "gt", you can elevate yourself about chicken-s**t level if you bothered to use your real name! Stick a spork in the rock morning shows gt? Seriously?

The X has been stail since Bill and Doug left. Though I hated them most of Boise listened. J105 is just that. It's never changed or reinvented it's self. The Eagle has Bob and Tom who make fun of "Boise" on the air. Stick a spork in the rock morning shows and start over!!!

And you can't stick a fork in a station because of ONE bad book. How DID the rock stations compare in the male demo? And you can’t stick a fork in a station because of ONE bad book.

In my humble opinion, it goes way beyond the music of a station...I believe the talent/content plays a HUGE part...more on this at a later time.
