WCCP talk....
Jul 30, 2015, 1:22 PM
|
|
A bit of WCCP talk today. I like Clemson football as each of us do but I really wish WCCP would change things up a bit. I see no need in having four local shows (Plyler, Qualk, Roy, Walt). Its the same stuff and same callers over and over. It has gotten stale.
I think that they should have local hosts for both morning and afternoon drive. That is all. Would like to see them add a national (I like Dan Patrick) during the day.

In Virginia. Stale. Unprofessional. Small time on-air personalities. I check in to see if it is interesting..... Then I find other things to listen to

I hope when Rad came in he might shake that up and find a decent station. Alas we will never reach the 21st century it seems

Hate to break it to you but all sports talk radio is

generaly repeat discussion of the previous show. They all read the same articles, get bookings for the same guests and have the same callers.
WFNZ out of Charlotte will repeat the same story in each of it's shows every day. Very little deviation.
The WCCP line-up may be lacking in quality on some of it's shows(cough, cough Deptula), but they are not exclusive to parroting.

you can listen to national shows at your leisure

not sure I have ever been anywhere that I could not listen to Dan Patrick, Cowherd, Mike and Mike, etc. You are free to turn the knob there any time, and listen to potential Dodger baseball trades, Lebron James updates, and what the Broncos are doing in training camp. and Tom Brady, over and over. Ugh.
As "unprofessional" as it is, at least WCCP talks college football nearly every day of the year. I do hate that the same 5 people call every show every day, but you put up with the bad to get the good on anything.

Would love to see some programming from time to time

rather than all call in or just hosts talking. MP and TB do a good job. So does Roy.
How about pick some of the classic Clemson victories from the past and put together a program on the game with audio clips from the game, interviews with the coaches, players, others connected to the game. And you could add some music from the year the game was played, or audio clips of movies, TV show, news shows, etc. Look to spread them out by doing many decades rather than just one. Are any of the players off the 1939 Cotton Bowl still alive? Get those interview now. How about that undefeated team in 1948? The 1959 Bluebonnet Bowl winner over TCU? or games like:
1. Clemson vs Georgia 1977 2. Clemson vs North Carolina 1981 3. Clemson vs Illinois (Hall of Fame Bowl) 1991 4. Clemson vs USuC 2000 5. Clemson vs Auburn 2011
GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that the same people call all four shows with the same question for each show every day. You can almost know who is calling in by the time as well. Same callers, same time, erryday!

I suspect they are probably relatives or friends of the hosts or other employees

What do you expect them to talk about this time of year?
If they talk baseball, you're probably pissed. If they talk college football, you complain about that too?

There are small markets (and Clemson is nowhere NEAR being classified as that) that do not offer that many local sports talk. I have seen markets 2x larger that only have local talk ONLY in the drive times you are whining about.
