MarthaG Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I'm outraged! There was no Roula and Ryan on Mix 96.5 this morning. No "War of the Roses" for this Thursday morning. I get to work and others are asking "what happened?". A few minutes on the net and we find out that Roula and Ryan have been REPLACED BY SAM MALONE. WHAT??? Who is responsible for this? After a few phone calls I find the name and phone number of the program director. Of course the Jerk would never answer his phone.So today I decide I'm going to Christie's Seafood and Steak for the first time. Perhaps I can find out something there. (BTW Food and Service were great!) Sure enough, both Roula and Ryan are there. Roula was nice enough to come by our table for a visit. To say it mildly, they are in shock. Yesterday after they fininshed thier morning show, the big wigs come in and say "That was your last morning show...you have been replaced". No Notice, No Explanation, No Nothing. It was not enough that they took the Classic Rock 101 station and screwed it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htownswami Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I thought Sam Malone was gonna have a show on News Radio 740 KTRH? Did that ever happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VelvetJ Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Yeah, I heard about this today and I am not pleased........but when am I ever? I just hope Sam Malone doesn't turn the radio show into a Tom Delay/Dan Patrick support group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope Sam Malone doesn't turn the radio show into a Tom Delay/Dan Patrick support group.Dan Patrick. Aaaaaargh. Such a hypocrite. First he says he is running for the state senate as the "peoples candidate" and not part of the Republican mainstream. But Steve Hotze, Republican kingmaker in Houston, enjoys hours of free advertising with a early afternoon call-in show featuring doctors from the Hotze clinic on Patrick's radio station. Ah well, as soon as he declares his candicy it's off the air for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djrage Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I've heard this is only the beginning of changes to come at KHMX. I think CC might be positioning themselves to finally put their CHR KISS FM brand in Houston (96.5 KISS FM, anyone?). Although I think Sam fits the current format pretty well.

pineda Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Malone SAID he left KRBE because he couldn't take playing any more fiddy-cent songs, and was looking forward to some serious talk radio. So, now he's on 740 KTRH, from 10 till Noon, right after he pulls the 6-9 a.m. gig at KHMX, which was pretty much the same format as KRBE. Is this guy Malone going to be talking out of both sides of his mouth, or WHAT? I also heard that he defended Tom DeLay at some rally held in Tom's HONOR(?) recently in Sugarland, which may be another reason Clear Channel likes him so much. Clear Channel's owner is the father-in-law of Republican Congressman Michael McCaul from Austin, and heavily funded son-in-law's campaign to go to Washington. You do the math....

Sam Malone (Sean Hannity light) is the biggest douchebag I have ever heard on the radio.....oh, except for Dan Patrick.I used to work for Patrick when he owned Dan & Nick's Sportsmarket in the 80s. To hear his holier-than-thou bull____ on the radio after watching him back then makes me want to hurl chunks. Can you say hypocrite? I won't say what I saw, but his supporters wouldn't be pleased.

I won't say what I saw, but his supporters wouldn't be pleased.I agree with Patrick on his stands regarding government spending and taxation but he his sooooo far-right on other issues. He stated on his radio show that God "may" have hit New Orleans because of that "gay festival" (Southern Decadence) scheduled for the next week and to clean up some of those Godless casinos. He went on to say Houston was spared a direct hit by Rita because we are such a "Godly community" and God wanted to get the last few casinos he missed with Katrina. Hmmmm. Must be because Houston churches are so large that God noticed them as opposed to all those little churches in LA. Of course he went on to say, "I don't say that I know what God's plan is, but if you just look and see what has happened...."So if you are a Repulican in Jon Lindsey's old state senate district I hope you will use your primary vote on anyone but Mr. Patrick.

WestGrayGuy Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Boo Clear Channel!!!I loved Roula and Ryan. I feel sorry for poor Maria Todd. She came to Houston from Buffalo with Sam Malone as I understand it. Then she was left high and dry as Sam left. Sorry but Atom Smasher sucks, I am tired of his homophobic remarks.And that "See ya" line is quite old.... I heard it this morning on MIX. Boo!

Jeebus Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I can't believe there are people here who listened to Roula & Ryan in the first place. Of course, when you look at their other morning radio choices, how could you blame them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I can't believe there are people here who listened to Roula & Ryan in the first placeI was kinda thinking the same thing.I thought only secretaries listened to The Mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToolMan Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Dean and Rog are the only ones worth a damn. Maria Todd is a cakling idoit, Sam Malone is just a dumb ass with one catch line, and Walter and Johnson suck because they have nothing original to talk about.I am a continuous channel changer on the radio and I always find mayself back to Dean and Rog.By the way, I head Nirvana on 96.5 the other day. I guess they are trying to reach out to the younger group.I think it is time for satalite radio for me, but the only problem is I am not in the car long enough to listen to the radio.

skwatra Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 i'm usually amused by the 94.5 morning show, and they get a lot of good guests to call in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToolMan Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 94.5 is OK, but I hate their newest phrase "The Killer B's". Why are they the killer B's, what the hell did they do? It least say "we support the killer B's" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeightsGuy Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 By the way, I head Nirvana on 96.5 the other day. I guess they are trying to reach out to the younger group.HAHA, that's funny. Sorry, the "younger group" doesn't listen to Nirvana, people who would even think about changing the channel to 96.5 in the first place listen to Nirvana. Didn't you notice that all us GenX'ers are driving minivans now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeebus Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I've noticed that 94.5 seems to hold my attention the longest. I also will listen to Dean & Rog sometimes. The morning phone gag has been beat to death though. As for Walton & Johnson, they were once great - now they're simply mediocre. 104.1 doesn't even deserve an opinion, and I don't have any rap stations programmed into my radio - but I doubt I missing much. 94.5 call themselves the "Killer B" because 94.5 is known as "the Buzz". They have Brad Lidge on every week as well. Common sense would elude that they are showing support for the 'stros. Oh yeah, Pat Gray is an idiot.

editor Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 FWIW, the 96.5 studios have some of the best views in the Galleria area. I'd say second only to Williams Tower, itself. In some ways better because they're lower down so the view is clearer. Just slightly off topic. What else is new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
