What happened to 94.1 wysp?

[doug]

The talk shows are gone. I'll be the first to proclaim too much talk. But I enjoyed The Barsky Show and Matt & Huggy. Kidd Chris was way too annoying, and on way too long. But wtf, they just totally ditch Barsky? They had a great fanbase. All wysp does is play the same songs over and over anyway. So when the hell did this happen? Anyone know?

[ITSTOCK]

THANKFULLY it's back to music! No more stupid talk shows. Yesterday was the first day of the old way of broadcasting.

[Mr Tomtastic]

this happened like a week ago. opie and anthony were making fun of their catch phrase thinger.

[Munky]

RIP Barsky Show & Matt & Huggy!!! Kidd Chris is a f*cking tool. He sold out and has become a DJ. TOOLBAG!!!!!!!

[doug]

Did 94.1 cover the Eagles game last night, still? Mike Quick and Merril Reese ftw.

Like I said, I enjoy the music, but Barsky was great... they should have mixed it up. Morning musics, afternoons talk, rest of the day music.

I never really liked Kidd Chris either.

[Snoozie]

Is Kidd Chris the one who was on in the evenings? If so I could not stand him! I havent listened to Wysp in a long time because of all the talk, maybe now I will start again.

i think he was

[Furious George]

Yeah, I stopped listening to 94 a long time back because of all the talk. They were like the MTV of radio stations. Everything but music.
If you are looking for straight classic rock, try out 102.9. Its not a bad station.

isn't it the only classic rock station left? cuz in know the hawk no longer exists. the used to be 94.5, then they switched with pst and now 97.5 is some c***** a** jazz ****

[Snoozie]

Omg thats all we listen to at work (MGK that is) and I want to hurt myself. After 2 years here, I can pretty much tell you when they are going to play what song. ugh....

[poolmike]

Barsky is the kiss of death to any radio station. Remember(probably not) when 98.1 was a pop station?? Barsky killed it. Eagle 106.1? Barsky killed it. Somehow 93.3 survived the financial ruin that Barsky brought them.

I'm happy 94.1 is finally back to music.

[doug]

I don't know why.. he always has interesting topics, and has a large fanbase.

he was horrible.....thank god music is back

[evomike]

Radio is the worst I don't understand why people actually listen to it sirius is way cheap and worth every penny

I had sirius in my 350z, and I hated it. Sounded tinny (even through the nice bose system), it went out and skipped all the time, and some stations had commercials, wtf? also, i couldnt fixate on one channel.. there were so many I was always wondering what was on the other channels. ipod in the aux ftw.

[poolmike]

I have Sirius and haven't looked back.

[2drStunner]

Sirius is by far the best for music! But Preston and Steve there is no better!

[Jeffros Spec V]

O & A from 6-9
Barsky 9-1
Matt & Huggy from 1-3
kidd chris from 3-7
Scotty and Alex from 7-10

I miss Opie and Anothy, Barsky and Kidd Chris.

[DropTopChevy]

Wait wait wait, they play music now?

[Gorilla Unit 33]

i spoke with "kid chris" today and he said " I dont know, all i can say is im renegotiating my contract and until then i dont have the freedom to say anything"

[91TSiGuy]

Huh, weird. I used to listen to 94.1 alot but then I was yearning more music on my drive and I found 104.5 and left the dial on that since. Barsky and Kidd Chris weren't that bad when I only tuned in to them every once in a while. I could imagine at least Kidd Chris would get old after a month straight though.

[96Stang]

everyone doesnt like kidd chris on here cause i really dont think they gave it more than 10 minutes...that radio show is amazing and after a while in this crappy format it will be back to the great show it was...i miss barsky

[Dave]

wasnt he on y100 as well? and i agree that preston and steve is way better than anything 94.1 had going. wysp sucks these days

[cburwell]

But Preston and Steve there is no better!

I can tolerate that show for a little while. Eventually Steve will get on my nerves for cutting in with some lame jokes or impressions while Preston is trying to speak.

NPR is the station I have kept going back to for a few years now. They some great stories/world news in the morning along with Car Talk and You Bet Your Garden on the weekends. A little lame? Possibly, but I enjoy it.

[ozthunder]

I love OnA..as long as they are there, i'm good.

[den9]

radio drives me nuts, i started listenin to 96.5 and q102 becuz they play all the same rock songs, now i hear all the same bs on them rap stations, now i listen to 103.3 and 88.5 wxpn, ull never hear repeats, they play random ****, like beethoven, old school rap, hard core punk, everything, alot sucks though. i need to buy a sirius again

[2slowMX5]

And all the while I work I though the cheap ass radio broke. I was ready to go pc load letter all over it.

[GLHWCU]

Okay well here is the information for all of you....
Opie and Anthony is still syndicated to 94.1 for the next 3 years so unless 94.1 wants to continue paying syndication fee's without using them, they wont get rid of them. The Barsky show was canceled, however Barsky works for 94.1 for "outside research" whatever that means and the co-host vinny still does eagles game help. Matt and Huggy were let go and are moving to internet radio if they cannot find another philly or ac job in the next 6 months. Kid Chris and Thomas are currently working for 94.1 as "dj's" even tho it is still called the kidd chris show. Scotty and alex were let go same day as matt and huggy and are currently looking for jobs. The station changed formats as you were all talking about, i PERSONALLY loved the format, you dont have that on any other station, barsky show was crap, but matt and huggy, kidd chris and scotty and alex i really liked. Their whole campaign now is to try and make fun of MMR and take audience. So thats it in a nut shell

[doug]

Where'd you obtain this info?

[ozthunder]

I didn't like the Free FM idea when it began, and i'm happy its back to where it was. If I want talk radio i'll go to AM.

Plus, we all know talk radio in Philly is WIP and nothing else. Don't even kid yourselves!

[GLHWCU]

Where'd you obtain this info?

lets just say i have a resource in what was free fm

[doug]

I see, well thanks for the info. I enjoyed Barsky.. though. -sigh-

[GLHWCU]

i did too, awesome guy, just i got annoyed of it sometimes. i just dont really see why they changed the format to this, liek from a marketing point of view. maybe my POV is jaded

[doug]

That's what I was saying earlier... a good mix of talk/rock would be appreciated. Matt and Huggy always made me laugh too.

[GLHWCU]

yeah well dunno thats radio tho, the least job security ever, although everyone who was canned is still under contract for one amount of time or another and they do infact get paid till that contract is up, however everyone knows you get paid jack ish to be on the radio unless your O&A or pres & steve

[poolmike]

wasnt he on y100 as well?

Yep, he killed that one too.

[Kevin]

Wow is this for real? Last year during school I would listen to all these talk shows except for O&A (I thought they sucked and were too early to begin with). Matt and Huggy was my favorite of them all. They were all good talk shows in my opinion. I haven't listened to them shows though since last semester ended. Wow I really can't believe this happened.

The Kidd Chris Show can go anywhere though. A lot of people hate that show but he has been all over this country. I am gonna miss Barsky on my way to to school in the mornings. :cry:

[DoubleOughtCel]

They just had Kidd Chris sign his contract a few months ago for one year starting in August, so he's hardly 1 month into his latest contract. I haven't had the radio on in the afternoon in about 2 weeks; are he and Thomas completely off the air now?

[GLHWCU]

yea they have a contract, i was pretty sure it was for 2 years but, no they are on the air and they are the "kidd chris show" however their like disc jokey's they talk for like 2 min then play 5 songs then commercials then talk for 5 min

[Dave]

I just wish dee snyder would come back to mmr. THAT was an awesome show

[james_ls]

I was just on a few of these shows within the last week.

Damn...

Best of luck to all of them.

Dickwads or not (personal opinions of all them aside) they are jobless...that sucks no matter who you are.

[ozthunder]

Yes it was...

[99SL2_Modder]

Wow, I can't believe people actually listened to that horrible ****.

I turned on the radio one day and all it was was talk. That was so much bull**** cause YSP actually played good music once upon a time.

All those talk shows use the same gags over and over, it's as old as Howard Stern. They were all complete **** and retarded drivel. If the truth is that they're playing music again, maybe I'll swap my stations back.

Radio 104.5 has been the best thing to happen in this area since the old WDRE got shut down.

isn't it the only classic rock station left? cuz in know the hawk no longer exists. the used to be 94.5, then they switched with pst and now 97.5 is some c***** a** jazz ****


94.5 wasn't only the hawk. It was a bunch of other stations. And if I'm correct, it's called BenFM and plays everything now.

PST plays some interesting things now too.

Excuse me, smooth jazz owns your ass, young buck. Step back and feel it. 97.5 FTW.

The only things I hate about radio right now is that they don't have any Orchestral stations or Metal stations. ****, I'd love to be listening to a piano concerto right now. Mmmm...

I don't know anyone that has as wide a taste in music as me. Step back before you insult a genre you know nothing of.

[2drStunner]

Guys how many times do i have to suggest it? Turn your radio station to 93.3 from 6 to 1030am and leave it! Give it a week and you'll be hooked. I promise!:banana:

[gpzjack]

Philadelphia radio is dead. Long live the mp3 player.

uhh to set things strait, i wasn't insulting anything...i was just stating a fact(in my own personal opinion). pst will play something interesting every now and then. i haven't listend to the radio in my car that much since my attena broke on my car, and i don't get that good of a reception anymore.

i have yet to find any good radio stations out in lancaster that plays some good rock...i have a radio for my room so i usually like to turn that on ever now and then and just would like to here something great.

:rotfl:Or I'd slit my wrists.

[2drStunner]

:rotfl:Or I'd slit my wrists.

That could work too! :rofl:

[gpzjack]

I love it when wysp would have a commercial talking about how much they rock and then play a corny ballad or slow song...Philly radio sucks...buy an ipod

[99SL2_Modder]

Don't knock all philly radio.

Radio 104.5 still plays great songs.

[smg267]

Sirius is by far the best for music! But Preston and Steve there is no better!

preston and steve?? hop on that bandwagon! They suck a fat ****! They all follow the same ****ty format. Kidd Chris owns bitch!

[2drStunner]

Hop on that bandwagon.....lol ive been on that bandwagon since they've been on y100! Kidd Chris is excatly what his name says he is "a kid" among men(The men being Preston and Steve) bitch!

[Kevin]

Yea nothing beat WYSP talk radio. They were king.

I suggest listening to the techno station haha 108. something I think/forget.

[tjf]

Philadelphia radio is dead. Long live the mp3 player.

i agree 100%

i enjoyed the free fm talk all day, i usually listen to O&A then a little bit of barsky then some ron and fez and then the kidd chris show. Matt & Huggy may have been the worst radio show of all time, only next to those two d-bags scotty and alex who just try to hard to be funny when their not.

the only show im gonna miss from that lineup is Barsky, id rather listen to 4 hours of static then Preston and Steve their radio hacks who steal bits from better shows than theirs.

is love line still on, thats always interesting it used to start at 11pm? And i heard a rumor that kidd chris will be back to a normal show like before in a month or two, any word on that?

[Kevin]

Matt & Huggy may have been the worst radio show of all time.

Depending on your sense of humor your correct.
