Chet Walker gone at 1180 WHAM, downward slide continues for once proud radio station

Chet Walker has now been removed as the host of 1180 WHAM in the morning, after his partner Beth Adams was removed a couple of years ago.  1180 WHAM ratings have been dropping locally, due to their inability to adapt.  This appears to be an attempt to skew younger as the new team is of younger age.

Also, an obvious cost cutting move as Chet had been there since 1982 and was no doubt making a lot more money then other people.  Its unclear why you would attempt to go younger when you have Lonsberry from 8:30-12, who skews very old.  The question is, will this move be followed by Bob Lonsberry being removed.  If WHAM is serious about appealing to a younger demographic will they go all the way.

Had enough of those arrogant Lacrosse players.  Here are ten reasons lacrosse sucks and is the stupidest sport in America   10.  The Sport is whiter then snow.  1.9% of the players playing at Division one schools are minorities.  It is almost like non athletic whites found a loophole and a sport they can excel at, without having to worry about "brown" players showing them up. 9. Its not played in 75% of the country, high schools do not have this sport in most of the south and west.  Lacrosse is played in the pockets of upstate NY, Virginia, Maryland and some areas of California. 8.  You cannot see the stupid ball, try watching a game, you though trying to follow a hockey puck was hard. 7.  The players constant have their sticks with them, do football players wear their helmets, do basketball players dribble basketballs in the hall? No.  6.  The Jerseys, they look like football jerseys, its like saying we are football players only with smaller penises.  I mean a psych

Richard Davis came hard charging into the American viewing public in 2007 as the star of the television show Flip This House.  The show featured Richard flipping houses for a profit with the help of his lovely assistant Ginger.  A lot has changed since that TV show, for one Richard married Ginger, after divorcing his wife.
