Ordway on air today. Promises to discuss things he's never talked about before. Has some things to get off his chest. Should be interesting.

Obviously, Ordway isn't a far better host because he didn't get the ratings.
That's one of the sillier things you'll ever post. If you're really going to try to start your argument there, this is a waste of time.

Obviously, Ordway isn't a far better host because he didn't get the ratings. Radio hosts are measured on ratings and Ordway doesn't have them.
If this was still 1999, Ordway would be a far better host. His act is old and tired. Talking over callers and other hosts, putting on moronic caller just to make yourself look smarter, endless beating to death low hanging fruit topics, and his general smugness is not what people want anymore. He literally has become Eddie Andelman.
I seriously doubt Ordway could be successful in most markets today. His style of radio is outdated. He is best off moving to the west coast of Florida and working on a radio station there where the audience skews far older.
On the topic of low hanging fruit, will WEEI in general ever learn that most people don't want to hear days on these "hot button" topics of non-sports related sports issues. That is a huge reason why they are getting creamed in the ratings. 98.5 for all their warts don't really beat topics to death.

I think Felger and Mazz are better hosts in general because whether you agree with them or not, their show is just run better. But ratings are how hosts are judged. Felger and Mazz give the audience what they want and obviously Ordway isn't. That is what makes a good host.

Wow! They must have a bonus that using as leverage or something that they feel will keep him from going nuclear on the station. Usually, they don't let fired hosts on the air because they can be wild cards.
God, this must be what it felt like to be an American on VJ Day...I feel badly to some degree when anyone loses her/his job, but this obnoxious, pompous gasbag got just what he deserved. As an addendum, just for the record, I think Felger and Mazz suck more.

First, Felger and Mazz haven't been winning every season, and they're lousy hosts.
Second, host quality is not a direct tie to ratings. You know this, which is why your post was so ridiculous.

Long overdue. Before 98.5 come on the air WEEI was the only sports station on Boston (beside 1510 the zone when it was on the air was not very competitive) Big O has always been loud, obnoxious, host who constantly talks over the listeners with his know it all attitude. When you're the only game in town that will fly with the listeners. When people have the choice they will switch. I don't agree with everything Felger said but I enjoy listening to him. 98.5 is just a better station.
Lastly WEEI has too much red sox talk.
Here is the run down of what the talk about all year.
January-April: Red sox training camp talk. More talk about the upcoming season.
May-September: Red sox talk. All day every day.
October-December: Talk about the previous season, what they can do this off season, take calls from the listeners about their half baked red sox trades and signings.
