I've always found that amusing. Jason Wolfe, program director at WEEI, defends the sports talk show circuit. There is an audience for it, an audience that seems to like listening to the sometimes vicious verbal volleying between participants whose targets are usually athletes or sports executives. We're just trying to do it in a way that's entertaining to most people. I'm sure athletes would argue the more we hammer Mo Vaughn for flipping his car, it's not going to be entertaining, but it happens to be something that doesn't go away.
People call our shows offensive.
They should listen to some of the other stations or watch some of the TV shows. They get unbelievable ratings. And the gap keeps widening.
