Without Mac, I would have never graced you all with my presence here. You all owe him a debt of gratitude.

Looks like ratings for 6am - noon on the top of the sheet but maybe I am reading it wrong.

all Darkside said was playing Monkees on the Drive was a disgrace and that's Mac's response.

A little hyperbolic but way to get crazy sensitive. WTF is wrong with you Mac.

So folks are PTFB in the mornings and keeping The Drive off for the remainder of the day all because of Mac? Super ouch!

You aren't reading it wrong. But when you look at ratings you will see that overall numbers can fluctuate wildly over one month. (See B&B's numbers for January as an example of this.) And a quarter is the real number that matters in the ratings, not one month. So, Mac is the person that is actually correct here.

I don't like his edge today. To much caffeine. I still think Gloop hacked his account. You know Gloop is at home dressed in Barney Rubble garb just itching to morph into Mac. He probably reached out to Caitlyn Jenner on how to best transform into a different human.

Mac is still the king of sports talk. Sitting pretty where he wants to be.

Mac tried to get the afternoon show and didn't. So he sits out.

Mid day ratings tank, and the Score comes armed with more cash. And he says no.

Talked for years about his dream of working on a rock station, and now he is.

Bernsie has fucked up twice since Mac left. His position has gotten stronger again.

Mac will be offered that position when it opens up. Call him a lot of things, but an idiot isn't one of them.

i think 2 interns could do the drive morning show and the ratings would be the same. i miss mac on sports talk radio but i cant blame him for trying something new and getting paid well to do it.

Exactly.

He will be back again soon enough. If he so chooses.

This could not have played out any better for him so far.

I used to be a 100% Mac apologist. But his new gig sucks for his fans. I am glad it is working out for him, part time with plenty of pay. If that helps him sleep at night, then so be it. As a fan of his sports talk, I lose.

When I want to listen to classic rock, Pandora is the way to go.

I have hundreds of songs on Itunes But after awhile,it's like I'm sick of all of them. I can't imagine Mac's job of listening to the same 100 songs or so,day after day.

I don't think the DJ's actually listen to the songs. They have countdowns and notifications and stuff.

They post on Redacted between needing to talk and read promos.

Long live the Mac ALS.

Mac overplayed his hand. Now he gets nice bits when Pete says its ok.

2 sports stations. No takers. Score probably wanted drug testing provision with another recession contract.

The suits figured out that the bottom line is fatter putting cheap talent out there. Ratings haven't gone down as much as costs. Ad costs aren't lower. And your aren't paying a lazy fuck who doesn't give a shit. Well, at least one less. Grimace is still there.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say

So did you really force Betty to wear a chest protector to Cubs games?

The new gig is good for Mac, but sucks for those of us who enjoyed his work on 670 and 1000. I have no desire to listen the Drive, awaiting Mac's 30 seconds of airtime between tracks. Granted I like most of that music, I'm just in a talk mood as I'm getting ready for work. I mustache you, Mac, did someone shit in your cereal this morning?

Your post is devoid of any truth related to what actually happened with Mac.

Did you miss it when the Score cam back and upped their offer by more than $100K to get him back after six months?

Keep on keeping on Gloop. Don't let a simple thing like facts get in the way of your already sour and bitter shots at Mac.

Especially considering he hates at least 50% of them.

Mac talking classic rock always reminded me of North talking politics - they both thought they knew more than they did and that listeners valued their opinions. That said, I can understand and appreciate him pursuing another avenue if it brought excitement back to the job. I just wonder if it will last. Sportstalk can certainly hit the doldrums but interesting storylines are always around the corner. By definition, Classic Rock is a pretty stagnant genre.
