Listened to WCCP on the way to work this morning

How do you guys handle that station? In my 25 minute commute, I probably heard 24 minutes of very poorly recorded ads. Then when they finally came back from a commercial break it was another 30-45 seconds of promoting a foundation repair company.
On a given morning, I probably hear more about Clemson on 107.5 in Columbia than I did on WCCP (unless you count Dabo and Venables promoting a home security company)

I'm buying any home defense Venables recommends!

Unfortunately, due to Uncle Sam, I'm not in the local area currently. Who does he recommend? Is it a nationwide or a local? Does it come with its own Ben Boulware? I would treat him well, but I'm pretty sure robbers would think twice if the mustached monster came running at them. Go Tigers!

It's about timing the breaks. The amount of commercials though is frustrating. In an hour's time, there is maybe 15 minutes of quality content.

I agree with you. the ads are horrifically long on WCCP.
This is my routine in a typical hour (let's go randomly 1-2pm):
XMRadio: 1:00-1:08 (WCCP ads)
WCCP: 1:09-1:20
XMRadio: 1:21-1:29 (WCCP ads)
WCCP: 1:30-1:40
XMRadio: 1:41-1:49 (WCCP ads)
WCCP: 1:50-1:59
Rule of thumb: You can listen to 2 full 4-minute songs during a WCCP ad break and come back to miss nothing.

Delvin has to be unemployed or retired. He calls into EVERY show....EVERY day. I hear more of him than I do the hosts. I think they just try and piece together what he says and go with it. There is no way they understand everything.

I love hearing folks in the Upstate complain about WCCP

in Chucktown, there's ONE radio show---and its on from 3-6 in the afternoon. The mod is a former gamecock cheerleader, longtime president of the local gamecock club (although a good guy who does a ton for local charities) and as such the show is largely gamecock-centric. For example: the last week of the CFP voting when Clemson was named number 1 inthe country in the final voting for the play-offs was also the week when Muscoot was hired as HC at the #2 public university in the state. 75-80% of the programming and call centered around the developing new staff at usuck and how the future was suddenly rosy for the chickens. There were no phone interviews with college football pundits from around the country about the Tigers upcoming game with Okla....no phone interviews with ANYONE from the Tiger coaching staff....the local Clemson fans have pretty much stopped calling the show for very obvious reasons
So, you guys will just have to suffer with the Clemson flagship radio station while the rest of us can get it over the computer or through subscription service and wish we could have access to Tiger-centric broadcasting----whether you agree with the mods or not
