I was assuming he’d do his usual off-the-wall schtick, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear that this was not the case. I found the format (before it got canned by CBS) to be very refreshing and a new sound to talk radio that it desperately needs.

Country music?!?!?!? you gotta be kidding me, how much more meaningless can the show possibly get??? They may have taken away his crew (which by the way didn't help the show at all, more of a blessing in disguise that they were booted) but he has managed to take the most boring content and spew it all over the air waves. the show plummeting in ratings is his own fault at this point - it's not a funny show and it's not an interesting one, the sooner they replace him the sooner my morning commute will be more enjoyable.

Making Dave can the other people involved with the show, pulling the musical angle, and restricting what issues he can talk about totally blows. Talking about controversial subjects was very engaging, and its a shame they're sabotaging the show.

This would put Roth out a job around August. This will give the salespeople something to take the focus off of the 18th position in the ratings. We are going to have a great summer rock concert here in NY from the former K-Rock in celebration of DLR's departure. I am a big fan of DLR (before the radio show), soon he will have to re-invent himself in five months. Hs fans should not get used to him. I agree with Davey (2/15/06) that the Booker show is much better. Maybe the suits will give Booker a shot in the Fall.

He started out utterly horrible but he has gotten slightly better. I would still rate the show about a 3/10, meaning it's only mildly amusing. Here's the problem: what genius at Infinity thought the DLR's format (which I'd guess is supposed to be political-lite with comedy) would work with someone like Roth? Its a horrible format when done this way and it comes across as mindless lecturing by Roth with no substance, terrible humor, and little attention span. So everyone in NY gets to tune into DLR lecturing them about whatever is on his mind while he argues with random callers. This show has no substance, PERIOD. As for Free-FM: the Radio Chick show is god-awful most of the time as well. The comedian on the show, Chuck, should be hosting that show and is the only funny element present. The radio chick herself servers zero purpose and drones on occationally about something but otherwise is wallpaper to her funnier sidekicks. The Booker show easily has the most potential to be funny and with support would easily be the best show on Free-FM. They should have given Booker mornings with good guests, more staffers, and $$$ and you'd have a pretty decent morning show. Booker and his sidekicks have charm and are actually funny. For now everyone will flee Free-FM for Satellite, who would blame them? I gave DLR a full month before I was ready to make a complete judgement, which is weeks more than most would give.
