I have finally had enough with with Cleveland radio. I went out to day and bought myself a Sirius radio for my car. If I had to listen to one more day of the horrible morning radio one more time on my way to work I was going to freak out. Morning radio in Cleveland is absolutely horrible. The best morning show is just barely tolerable, and that is on their good day. Too often it degenerates into the head d.j. making fun of his weight (whatever, lose the weight or shut up. Nobody cares how much sushi you eat), the "funny song" guy who writes lyrics even Weird Al would be ashamed to sing and then "performs" them in the most nasally, irritating voice ever.
Then there is the so called "edgy" station that has the Howard Stern wannabe on it. That show must be populated with every reject from the Ohio Center for Broadcasting. Jesus, can the main guy even complete a sentence without stopping to think? He will be trying to say something like "She was 22" and it turns into "She was, oh I dunno, around, oh, say. . .about, I dunno, like. . .uh, 23, or maybe. . .uh. . .I dunno. . .22 or something". Christ, by the time he thinks of the minor detail of his story nobody cares about what actually happened. No wonder they got pulled from the Chicago market. They suck!
There is also the piped in show from, probably, LA that tries to be edgy and cool and have some personality but it comes off bland as crackers. You just know that the black guy on the show is putting on the "act" that he is cool and streetwise and they both talk in that generic radio voice. . .
Those are the best of the radio shows in the morning. How anyone puts up with them every morning I don't know, I'm just glad that I won't have to listen to any of them anymore.
