Your 100% correct. Now at least he has a semi regular show from 8-9 with guests and some timely topics. The morning show, unless you live in Cincinnati and care about the weather and traffic, is just a waste of time. Too many breaks and news.
I think he plans to retire this August when he hits 40 years at the station.
How many days will he actually be on air between now and then? His subs stink for long term fill ins. I dont mind a day or two of them, but the last three weeks I have started just working in silence rather than listening to guys who I already know what they are going to say before they say it.
he has always been political....
Good, it's time for Willie to step back. I wonder if he'd be better as a sub?
Yes he has, but he can normally mix in some entertainment and less politics. I wonder if he'll have a rousing Reds opening day speech like he normally does? It would be really hard to proclaim this team as a contender this season. Maybe in the coming years, but not now.
One hundred percent. He also is so much better during times of crises, when he is actually trying to help us figure out what is going on. But soon as things even out with an issue, Willie has to keep going to the extreme and ramping the base back into a frenzy.
That's a good question. He's been on a little bit of autopilot for a few years ever since he started recycling interviews from his Sunday night show into the weekday shows. You can also tell there are days where Willie has an early tee time at Kenwood Country Club because after the 2:30 news it's the Stooge Report, a long commercial block and then some filler to the top of the hour.
I’m old enough to remember when conservative Republicans said government shouldn’t pick winners and losers.

loved listening to Bubba-Bo ,Although I never drove a truck, I enjoyed the ATN show on 700 throughout the week (and weekends) when I worked 3rd shift. Sad news about Bubba.Retired DJ 'Bubba Bo' Boulanger in hospice
Long-time country music radio and WLW's weekend truckers' show host had retired last year.
Pretty sure he was suspended for awhile for grilling hamburgers in the studio one night! It set off all the smoke alarms and the fire department showed up. Willie and Seg would occasionally mention it on the Stooge report.
As much as we want to give these folks credit or shade, I think they are just reading what ABC provides. Sandy Collins, Sara Elyse, Bryan Combs, formerly Geoff Henderson....and it's not so much what they say, but what they leave out that irks me. For instance, today a report that the Cincinnati Complaint Authority, CCA, a police sub committee is upset because of the rules and regs that came out from the riots a few years ago with George Floyd and that fiasco. The curfew appears to be "racially" motivated because many in black neighbors have been affected and enforced.
Sandy Collins throws in her own views very much so.....talking about the poll of Biden that came out, which of course is low, she stated the numbers and then says." of course this poll was done BEFORE the JOBS report that just came out" she would NEVER say anything like that to supoort the conservatives... NEVER
And let's face it, a liberal journalist is hardly a new thing. I mean we've made a consistent trek with the media being liberal my entire 50 years of life. And ABC is the top of the liberal news media. The really odd thing for me is AM talk radio is largely a conservative audience, so I'd think liberal newscasts would not go over real well. I know I rarely listen to the top and bottom of the hours because it's just not appealing to me. There was a time that even liberals had to listen to AM radio because there was few options. But honestly and you can see this daily, there are many people who have no idea what's going on int he world around them, or event their city. They listen to music and podcasts and never get any infortmation other than word of mouth. It's scary but many of our voters are like this.
What do you think of the weekly segments with ABC's Brad Garrett? He and Mike banter back and forth some, it surprises me sometimes that Garrett seems to be caught off guard with some of Mike's pretty simple questions.
don't much listen to wlw in the morning, or just briefly sometimes
when does he usually talk to him?
He normally talks to Brad Garrett in the 8PM segment on Thursdays. Sara Isger is also another ABC correspondent who is a regular.
If you do podcasting at all, go onto IHeart and get Mike's podcasts, it's actually pretty good because it's only the 8-9 hour, no commercials so you can listen to 35 minutes of content in 35 minutes!
I'd add the parents to that list of "who's accountable." I'm sorry but no matter what you're dealing with in life, you as a parent, should be able to check to make sure your kid can read, write and do math. If they can't, then ask the people in bold above questions.
yes they spend around $32,000 a year on each student..... one of the MOST expensive school districts in America
