TACS is CANCELLED after this week, end of an era

A smug douche whose brand of humor relied on name-dropping d-list celebrities and his "morning zoo crew" laughing over their own stale jokes wasn't exactly a great fit for an alt-rock station. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Thank god for the economic downturn. Radio stations are finally realizing people would rather listen to music than jabbering overpaid "celebrity" dj's.

Adam?

Sooo.. what exactly do you listen to, then, asshole

Well today is the last days of the ACS replays here in Portland. Tomorrow I'm stuck with someone named Rick Emerson? While I'm in the car at least.

Raff -- I'm in Corvallis so in my apartment I had to screw with the radio antenna lot in order to get KUFO to come in. For some reason it came in a lot better in my car, though.

Ah well, back to NPR.. :|

I feel your pain Raff. Rick Emerson is a pretty good guy as he's been solid in Portland radio for a long time. Rick's show consists of comedy and satire in relation to current events, etc. Also, you'll like his partner Sarah X. Dillon! Of course, it'll take a minute to get used to him, but, with ACE's podcasts, and Rick, you'll be okay.

Wow does this new guy suck! Thank god for pod casts. I think there was a reason Emerson was on AM radio. He's certainly a "not ready for FM player."

I thought KUFO losing Marconi and vodka boy (The GM) were both good moves and the station was great afterward, until a few days ago.

Now there is just a wasteland of morning radio out here.

Mark and Brian

Bob and Tom

P.K.s playhouse (which is totally unlistenable)

And now this Emerson show? Whats up with the canned D.J. voice? Do you really have to sound like that?

I'll give it a shot for the rest of the week, but KUFO is quickly working its way off my preset stations.

shows not going anywhere, why would they bother with the webcast stuff if they knew they were going under. Nobody would give an eff about starting or approve the money for a webcasting unless the show were continuing and a bummed out show staffer would have spilled the beans by now if they were shutting down.

The station might flip but TACS will stick around.

Remember, just because 1780's guy wants the show to be dead doesn't make it so.

good call.

Every morning radio program in Portland now offically sucks. It is really awful to have that kind of shock. At least we knew when the stern show was going away.

Welcome Aboard! I definitely feel your pain as Portland used to have lots of great talk programs. Have you listened to Rick Emerson yet? Fortunately, Adam is podcasting daily. Also, if possible, please feel free to listen to ConwayandWhitman.com, and FrostyHeidiandFrank.com as they have quality podcasts as well.

I actually don't know what a podcast is -- technologically inept. Perhaps that is the problem, anybody worth anything won't stay on these stations.

Thank you for the suggestions.

I'm still grieving and wallowing in new issues as a result of being so suddenly cut off. Radio stations are so disrespectful in that way.

Podcast just means an internet show in mp3 format, distributed over the internet. It's just a name for broadcasts that people typically listen to on iPods/computers.

Question...does this mean those two evening assholes at KLSX are out of a job? I can't remember their names. I caught a show once..they were arguing for school uniforms, and giving piss-poor arguements, at that. Is FHF canned, too?

Conway & Whitman seem like they'd have a good chance of being picked up by another station.

Its prettymuch a given somebody else will pick up Leykis -- he's too popular.

Raff -- KUFO no longer has Marconi? How did that happen? I was under the impression he was pretty popular. Did he do some stunt that backfired? Hey do you remember that "Craig (Greg?) The Dog-Face Boy & Porkchop" shit they ran after Howard in the late-90s/early-2000s? They were fired.

Also, where the fuck do I find the current ACS podcast? Oh, and I don't have an iPod. Not getting one, either. So please tell me this is something I can listen to over my computer.

Not that I expect anyone to read through 40 pages of old news, but wanted to bump this as it is interesting to read back through some of the thoughts and relive that bizarre period earlier this year.

Oh, and I would still like someone to give me credit for breaking the story DAYS ahead of anyone (including insider radio websites etc). I demand credit ... or, just call me Scoop once in awhile. Either way.

Atta boy, Scoop.
