- Don't let sales people dictate your content. Even though a race track will pay you to disguise a 10 minute commercial as a legitimate horse racing segment, it doesn't mean it's a good idea. My bet is that no one wants to hear that.
-Space things out better. Last week I listened for an hour from 3-4 and heard horse racing, the NFL insider and NFL power rankings. No Flames (or hockey) segment to be found. I know it can't be all Flames, but going an hour without discussing hockey seems like a mistake.
- Add some experience. If you listen to TSN radio in Edmonton after the morning show ends and before the drive show begins you will hear 2 different seasoned broadcasters. They know how to interview & they can carry a talk show. The Fan lost some experience when Kerr walked out the door. They shuffled the deck well enough to get by, but in my opinion you can't just fill that hole with an ensemble of 23 year old kids in Blue Jays hats.
- Stir it up. I like that Pinder is willing to take a stance on an issue. Conflict & debate is what keeps talk radio interesting. Lobbing softball questions to insiders has its place but I like a good argument. Glad we are getting more of it on the afternoon show now.
