Randy Karraker and ‘The Morning Drive’ Out at 101.1

[Lefty2seam]

I think 101.1 needed to make a change. The morning show just wasn’t good. Not really a big TM fan though, everytime I’d try and give his morning after show a listen 95% of the time they were talking about anything other than sports.

[TheJackBurton]

So the constantly droning Mckernan and the other guys that talk sports gambling all day are all that’s left on 101.1? What a joke.

Randy needed a better crew with him, he’s still good.

Lots of people in the Lou love McKernan.

Lots of people in St. Louis hate The Morning After

I can agree with a change being needed, but not this change, and certainly not for 4 hours of the day.

No one loves McKernan more than McKernan.

Balloon party is by far the worst segment they air

It's literally the worst radio show I've ever heard. I cringe and say "Great, just my luck," any time I'm stuck in the car between 10-11am. Every time I hear that dude's voice I ask myself how the h*ll are these idiots still on the air? And now he's getting a promotion?

Nothing worse than someone in love with their own voice when they're not funny and have nothing interesting to say.

lol.. exactly how I feel. i wfh in the mornings and unfortunately by the time I'm driving to the office, this is what I get.

I'm like.. really??? and they're only on for an hour and that's what I get stuck with lol

neither him, or his sidekick, are interesting or worth listening to

Iggy have a place on the new show?

No

At least now I know I’m not the only one that thought Ask Randy was the stupidest f*(bleep) thing in the history of radio. Turn in for a serviceable recap of sports and I’m treated to that garbage.

Worse than that is the people who felt he was some authority to text for advice.

It was a clown show yakety yak, yukety yuk. dumb games and some sports.

A sports show should be about sports, I don't want games or Yukin it up all the time.
Bernie and Danny Mac plz.

The show that is awful is the noon slot …. Those 3 guys know next to nothing about sports Alex is good with hockey and that’s about it

[mjg]

It's being replaced with McKernan, Vaugh, and Kilcoyne.

I despise that show.

I don't think Kilcoyne was on that show for teenagers. Kilcoyne is entertaining.

I can't see it being any different.

When McKernan originally started the balloon party he kept the idiot followers away, then slowly brought them in until the show was no longer any different than TMA.

Why would this one?

I don’t think the plan is for the show to be any different than it is now. It will be TMA, with Kilcoyne, whose radio personae is far from straight laced

I know many aren't fans but Bernie is the best sports journalist in this city and he doesn't waste air time w/a bunch of a z z grabbing like the Balloon Show does.

He does great Cardinals segments, Blues and Football.

Hopefully 101.1 hires him back after McK and Company flop (which is going to happen).

Berine is not a "sports journalist". He does no reporting. No tracking down of any stories, and has no insight whatsoever on the inner workings of the club. He's an commentator. End of story.

Bernie has more sources throughout the sports world than any journalist in St. Louis and he reports on multiple stories.
