WEEI afternoons: Hart and Fitzy gone

[sb1]

Surprised they don't try to poach someone from 98.5

Feels like they moved Jones & Keefe to the noontime slot hoping they could at least make up ground on Zo and Bertrand while essentially conceding the drive time slot. Whoever they replace those guys with will tell you how serious they are about competing along with maybe shedding some additional context on this.

If the above is true, then letting Andy and Fitzy go tells you they're still conceding that slot, and it was just a move to shed salary.

People used have to pay their dues to get prime spots in radio. Now they are just promoting role players on other shows to lead hosts. I look forward to finding out who replace Curtis and Laird in six months.

Have Curtis and Laird ever worked together? Has either ever been lead hosts on any show before other than the occasional replacement when a host was on vacation?

They honestly believed that Adam Jones was going to be a real star when they poached him from the SportsHub. But he was always a Felger Lite type of host.

It's a hard job. Lots of airtime to fill every day and a lot of the callers are idiots.

I don't think that they take calls anymore.

Well, that's a shame if true, rolling up the white flag on even getting better ratings then currently, because if you want next to no listeners that is a great way to do it. The guy partially responsible for the gutting on this station, Ken Laird, puts himself and the annoying ex drunk on air for 4 hours a day 5 days a week...I really hope this is BS.
