Please share. I actually used to listen to that station when Sammy was the intern for the previous morning show that was unceremoniously dumped, too.

Sammy left last year to go back to school and sarah went to do tv in new York. Melanie is ok, intern John is too juvenile ( always has a crass statement, doesn't balance it) and Dani is an ex- miss Minnesota who has an answer for EVERYTHING. I am surfing for a new stion to balance out my NPR

Yeah, I remember when it used to be Jack & Bert. I grew up around here so I remember even back when it used to be Q107 and it switched to Mix 107.3 and J&B were brand new!

I had given up on Mix 107.3 (morning show) long ago, though. I liked the music but could not STAND J.D.

Has anyone tried 97.1? That is what I had turned to b/c it's much the same music, just less stupid chit chat chit chat chit chat. Remember Loo Carson? (I think that's how he spells it.) He used to be the afternoon guy at Mix 107.3 but he had gone over to the morning show at 97.1 and has been there for years. Well, now, surprise surprise: Chili is there now too with him in the a.m.!

Anyway, I know I am a strange (radio) bird b/c I listen to a combo of NPR, WTOP for traffic and news, 90.9 (classical), and 97.1. I switch between the three of them during the morning commute, oh, and I also my DD's audio-books on CD! This morning, it was "Pinnochio"!

I like Loo Katz! Didn't realize Chili had joined him. Been listening to kiddie musicCDs recently instead of radio.

Yeah, you and me both! Try 97.1 if you like Loo Katz!

They offered him a send off and he refused.

We could be soul sisters. I feel the same way. They need to get an older woman than they currently have who has had more experience in life.

Try 102.7 out of Baltimore--Jack FM, if you're looking for decent 80s/90s music. No DJ, no chatter--just music. Or NPR if you want to listen to someone with a brain.


Carson and Chili are fine for the ride home, though.



Agree 100%. In fact, you might be me.

Here's the front page of that link I posted earlier. http://www.dcrtv.com/index.html

I believe jack had quite an HR folder of complaints from coworkers. He did not make working on that show enjoyable, unless you were kissing up and bowing down to him

Well, I didn't have to work with him, but JD wasn't snarky about other people on the air. And, that's why I listened to him. There is a way to be funny without being obnoxious, or gross, or mean. I don't understand why it's the lowest common denominator that sells now. Sad really. I think Bert is a sell out, after learning the ropes with JD.

I will try 102.7 and internet radio.

I sorta like 94.7.

Me too. He bugs the crap out of me!

I used to hate those commercial spiels who used to do that he tried to make sound like they were not commercials.

I've switched over to podcasts. Mike O'Meara (from the old Don & Mike Show) has a pretty good one, just google him (or TMOS).
