Jesse and Munch actually beat Rover and ratings were on the upswing when S, C & H were brought in. Riggs was also on Kiss FM, but has since left the area. Jesse now works with Howard Stern at Sirius Satellite in New York.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1150835061420945822006-06-20T16:24:00.000-04:002006-06-20T16:24:00.000-04:00If we're counting all morning spots on mmms let's ...If we're counting all morning spots on mmms let's not forget Jesse.

It's all the same stuff with varying levels of 'blah blah' banter and anchor attractiveness.<BR/><BR/>I believe this would work if one station implements it:<BR/><BR/>-Hard news only - no fluff. Example: No 'talk to the victim's family' emotional interviews or stupid neighbors' comments. Interviews with witnesses to events only, and stick to the facts.<BR/><BR/>-No 'meaningless live remotes'. EXAMPLE: You don't have to set up a camera by Jacobs Field to talk about the Indians, etc.<BR/><BR/>-NO PET / ANIMAL CRUELTY / RESCUE STORIES. EVER. <BR/><BR/>-One anchor only. Banter between weather, traffic, sports, and reporters is OK, but 2 anchors talking is slow death to watch.<BR/><BR/>-Make sure your anchors are young and good looking, regardless of gender.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1150722823634969532006-06-19T09:13:00.000-04:002006-06-19T09:13:00.000-04:00Nate--You forgot to add in Ross Brittain, late of ...Nate--<BR/><BR/>You forgot to add in Ross Brittain, late of Z100 in NYC, blowing off his non-compete along with Spaceman and Boom before B&J came on board.<BR/><BR/>I think it was 3 weeks-month in April 1994.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1150681066303822482006-06-18T21:37:00.000-04:002006-06-18T21:37:00.000-04:00It almost seems like crying "uncle," no?
