You don't want Bob & Tom. I was a program director for a rock station in South Bend in the late 90's. Back then, B&T were hilarious. Once their syndication empire began to grow, they got stale. Let's make jokes about current news stories and then, when a second rate comedian is touring through Indianapolis [[their headquarters), we'll stick them on the air and laugh at anything and everything they say. B&T haven't been funny for at least 10 years.

There are many markets around the country who are finding that people are tired of the "attempt to be funny" morning shows and are reverting back to the oldest adage in radio: shut up and play the music. Give me news headlines, the Tigers score, some traffic, and then get back to the music. Unfortunately it looks like 'RIF has made up their minds. Radio is so yesterday.
