Spencer Checketts picking up the slack on 1320kfan

I actually was not aware of that. Strange that they would go to 1280, then to come back again. I guess I need to change my opinion of things in that area.

oops.

All of them were initially at 1320 and then Locke got involved with a group that created 1280 and slowly attracted them over, but eventually that fell apart and most of the guys went back to 1320.

Not that strange. Money can influence people to do many things. 1320 got bought by the Miller group and threw big money at David James and Patrick Kinehan. Then, they got Locke to come back (no doubt promising him the eventual play by play position when Hot Rod finished).

It's business. Aside from Monson (who by far has the highest pay check at that station), the other guys are all former jocks with no prior media experience. 1320 has media professionals (David James, Kinehan, and even Locke) and some other guys with years of radio business experience. They are just an operation with more cash that can afford more developed talent. That's why the guys came back.
 
I believe everyone started to ditch 1280 when Jeff Rickard was the programming director. I heard that guy was a big a-hole.

Just another reason to never listen to Sports Talk Radio. I wouldn't stuff "Spence" (who goes by Spence, really?) up my crap hole if I had room for a mighty elm. My least favorite radio personality of all time.

Guess I never listened enough to 700 and when I did it seemed that Bill was doing the talking so I'll take your word for it. However I do have one issue with your post and it's the part in bold.
 
Listening to their first show together. Is Spence always this chatty? It's gonna be hard for Scotty to keep focused when he only says a word or two every ten minutes.
 
am i the only one who thinks scott garrard is the biggest tool on the planet? he has absolutely nothing to contribute to any conversation. and if he ever does contribute, he's usually pawning off points that locke makes on his morning tip-off as his own.

You do realize that the whole Q and A session was staged for laughs, right? The show is supposed to be entertaining. I mean, they had the Hot Rod impersonation going for heaven's sake.

I like how Spence sounds, and I am a bit of a fan of RSL, so bring it on.

Side note, isn't it funny how almost everyone that 1320 has came from other radio stations, primarily 1280? DJ and PK: 1280, Allema: 1280 (now gone from 1320 tho, but still in Larry Miller group) Scotty G: 1280, Bolerjack: you guessed it, 1280. I'm pretty sure some of the less known names are too, and now they steal away Spence from wherever he came from (don't know personally, but apparently he was working for another station.) So, are they coming over to be part of the Jazz, or is there a few benjamins involved here.

Long, long before 1280, guess where hosts like DJ, Locke, Allema, Bollerjack worked? You guessed it... 1320 KFAN!

You must be too young to know that.

So, you are admitting that you are an old geezer with an inflamed prostate?

I can accept that, we all have our problems.

As for my age, I didn't start listening to sports talk radio until I was about 25 years old, and at that time, DJ, PK, Scott G, Alemma, and Bolerjack were on 1280. Age had nothing to do with it, it was lack of experience.
