bunomatic Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 Wow. What happened to common sense ? Shite you can’t say on Radio for $1600 Al. Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 I didn't know Rich had that job. A real shame for a guy who worked his way up from part time overnights to mornings. He was even the Bills pregame host when 97 Rock had Bills games. Flushed his career with a joke that he should have known better not to do. 1 Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 I guess that guys’ career is now toast. To soon? 1 Quote

Eleven Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 Rich Gaenzler was the arena announcer? I'd no idea. I'm so glad he's gone, for so many reasons, now including this reason. Bring me Milt Ellis! He was the Milt Ellis of announcers. 4 Quote

(They were talking about how they like their toast and while Rich was talking about the number setting on his toaster, Rob said he compares it to woman he attracted too. Said he likes it Halle Berry level, but not Serena Williams. Then the female co-host asked about Gayle King and he said thats not on his toaster. There was also a comment about him liking it to have a little bit of melatonin in it). Part of the story about it on Yahoo had the short clip of it. 97 Rock apparently lost Roswell Park as a sponsor soon after it and now Rich lost his job I'm assuming because he didn't immediately stop it Quote

He's been doing it for a while now, Maybe they can bring back the guy from the old Kiss 98.5 morning show who did it before him? Quote

People are entitled to their opinion, and a case can be made Rich should have done something different. But get the facts straight. There are people in this thread who didn't read beyond the misleading Yahoo link text. Edited March 25, 2021 by PASabreFan Quote

I'm not sure if the shows hosts have anything to do with keeping or removing content from that, its really up to the radio station to decide to put it up on the website or not Quote

But Lederman was fired from the station today. Edited March 25, 2021 by PromoTheRobot Quote

Radio stations are run with skeleton crews these days. I'll bet the jocks are doing all the social media stuff along with their shows. And probably voice track another whole show for the Cumulus station in Bumfug, Egypt. It's the new digital sweat shop 1 Quote
