I always assume over money. Makes it hard to be loyal and hesitant to make a connection with the team. John and Tammy are good people though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573188106264061392.post-78070675759857530022013-09-23T22:47:20.547-05:002013-09-23T22:47:20.547-05:00Hey, fun analysis!

In fact, I am proud to be one of the last to beat him in a ratings head-to-head matchup but that was a long time ago...and it will never happen again. Cinderella sang it best.

Not that many years ago, MidWest was an icon in the industry, regarded as one of the best "medium-level" (medium markets as opposed to large or small) group operators. Those days are gone, and now MidWest is regarded as just another group operator.Tim Morrisseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457723301178870851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573188106264061392.post-79182111400297945912013-04-10T21:12:50.637-05:002013-04-10T21:12:50.637-05:00Well put Mr. Morrissey.

Always appreciated that MWF was locally owned and drunk the Kool-Aid that many hosts on the stations touted how MWF was God and CC was Satan. I believed it and was angered and shocked when J & T jumped ship. I never listened to their morning show on Star because of it. Kept the presets on all MWF all the time. Then I started to see things for what they were. After yours and Glen's firings I really noticed it and then it all came to a head when Sly and the rest of TDY were dropped. MWF on a smaller scale is pretty much the same. I now jump around the and listen to whatever sounds good. It's sort of liberating.<br />My only regret is that I didn't tune in to J & T on Star to appreciate the true talent we're fortunate to have all those years. Congratulation to them both!Andy Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573188106264061392.post-35236681025137009332013-04-10T07:17:48.147-05:002013-04-10T07:17:48.147-05:00Thank you, Anony; but I'm no gentleman.

And for the dipstick's "boss" - that became sort of a "dip-stick" problem, too, didn't it!<br /><br />Naming names accomplishes little in a post like this; the names aren't important to the many fans of John and Tammy, because they wouldn't recognize the names anyway; and for those who are "inside" - well, they know damn well who the dipsticks are.Tim Morrisseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457723301178870851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573188106264061392.post-42390206029747614422013-04-09T12:23:19.448-05:002013-04-09T12:23:19.448-05:00You sir are a gentleman.

You are obviously a scholar, as I know quite a bit of what you have so eloquently written in this piece. I appreciated it Tim. I am very proud of them both and am fortunate to be able to share in the fruits of their hard work and humble spirits. <br /><br />Wondering though: Who checks the oil at Midwest Family?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
