Usually the thing that makes someone a good morning or afternoon show host is the opposite qualifications for producing long form journalism.
I've been reading this thread and I just don't know what people expect from a sports station in a city of a million people with only a single sport that matters to more than 50k people.
There just isn't enough content in this market to justify any added expense because it doesn't translate into any kind of revenue.
