Talk:Kidd Chris

message: I updated Ed's profile today as per his conversation on Opie & Anthony this morning. He stated that he wasn't really scared of success, but feels that his time is passed to be a success. He then stated that he feels he should still have been paid, at which point they hung up on him.
Good luck going the way of Open Mike Ed. -- Johnska7 11:36, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

message: What do we think about updating/moving this page to better reflect the show, IE have a Chris Foley page for his biography, but a Kidd Chris page which more focuses on the show and not the person?
Format would follow closer to Howard Stern/The Howard Stern Show and Opie and Anthony, the later redirecting Gregg Hughs and Anthony Cumia to the show page, not an individual page.

No guarantee they check any of that but it's better than having your phone calls ignored. 
Of course you can try to call - Main number is 215-625-9460 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.91.147.35 (talk) 20:29, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge proposal 

message: The update includes "This was after new owners Alpha Broadcasting, having previously promised that they weren't changing anything, laid off their prior DJs and "changed" (slightly) their format."  No source is provided for this information.  I've followed this very closely and the closest I have found to this, is the statement "will generally leave existing personnel and broadcast lineups in place" from .  That is a big difference and I can't imagine that if there was a quote out there where someone said more directly that no changes would be made, that it wouldn't have been used in support of many statements made on pdxradio.com.
Alpha bought 6 Portland Oregon stations CBS and Rose City Radio and fired the staff for only 2 air shifts.  Most stations will have 5 to 6 air shifts per weekday and more on weekends.  Just looking at weekday shifts, you are talking about them getting rid of 2 out of approximately 33 air sifts and it was done on a station that had really bad ratings and that all of the chatter regarding radio said had to be changed.  While they did also fire the PD at this station, Alpha has hired back innumerable air staff that had been fired by CBS to make themselves look better to a buyer.  Just off the top of my head I can think of 5 air sifts that will be covered among the stations by people who were hired back by Alpha after having been fired by CBS.
I do not work in radio, but know people who do and I can't imagine that Alpha Broadcasting will take kindly to that kind of erroneous statement and the implication that they lied.  
I am not at all familiar with Wikipedia editing and so therefore am not editing it.  I feel that the 2nd sentence of the final paragraph should be struck entirely and was concerned that if I did so and offered no explanation, the the offender would simply re-post it and I am not willing to monitor this article for future accuracy.  Also, what is up with the overuse of quotation marks?  For example, "radio."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by KimJSCP (talk • contribs) 23:16, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Disaster 

message: Here are some statements that keep getting inserted anonymously without sources.  If there are WP:RS that can back these up, I don't see any good reason why they couldn't be edited and worked into the article:
*The radio show originated in Syracuse, New York.
*Kidd Chris's four-hour talk show was one of the highest-rated radio shows on the Pacific coast.
*While in Sacramento, Chris gained national attention by sending a series of prank phone calls made to O.J. Simpson to the popular Opie and Anthony and Howard Stern nationally syndicated shows.
*Thomas Kitajima eventually joined the show in Sacramento.
*In the fall of 2002, Kidd Chris took a hiatus from radio and retired to upstate New York.
*...the morning of January 5, 2004 in San Antonio, Texas.
*...highly-rated show at San Antonio's K-Rock until early August 2005.
*With rumors flying that Kidd Chris, a former contributor to Howard Stern's radio program, would replace Stern when Stern's contract expired with Infinity Broadcasting...
*While Chris has made remarks that the show is "gay" and that "it'll be gone in six months,"
*...the station exercised their right to extend his contract for one more.
