Am I mistaken that this thread is meant to discuss the radio personalities and feelings towards them? No one seemed to care when Bryn was being pegged for firing for 20 pages but the second Steinberg is brought up its time to put the brakes on?
Its no secret the stations ratings are in the toilet and that has a lot to do with the on air personalities.

Well frankly I was never a big fan of the other fire threads either. But there is a difference - in that these guys are not highly paid pro coaches. They work very hard and don't get paid a ton of money to do it. They are basically regular working stiffs like the rest of us.
Now I get that they chose a public job and as such criticism is expected. I just think calling for someone to lose their job is in really poor form.
As for the ratings - sports stations always have lower ratings than other formats because they are more niche. The key is they bring in a very specific type of listener (young males with cash) that advertisers love.
I've not seen recent ratings for the station but I suspect they are more or less the same to historical figures.
