Andy Furman Moving to Morning Radio: Awesome or Shite?

Remember Andy Furman?

He got fired from WLW after feuding with ex-Bengal T.J. Houshmandzadeh.  Housmasdhglascjlaskdu no-showed Furman.  Furman got pissed and wouldn’t let it go.  Hoausvnavlakue called Furman a “white boy.”  Furman called Hosucalzkujval;w a racist.

That’s the kind of ranting and raving you need at 7am.

Furman is now schlocking for super-conservative and wildly unpopular talk station WQRT “Real Talk” 1160 am, alongside luminaries like Laura Ingraham and Dennis Miller.   Every commercial break talks about “starting a revolution.”  Yeah.  It’s that kind of station.

Which makes Furman and sports talk an odd fit for 1160.  And moving his show to 7-9am seems even…odder.  And to make things even more…odderer, he’s going to do his new morning show live from the Graeter’s at Fountain Square.  The fun starts January 3rd.

Pros:

  • Don’t have to wait until late afternoon to talk about yesterday’s game.
  • He’s better than Mo Egger and Lance McAlister.  A lot better.
  • A live show at Fountain Square could put some more energy into downtown.

Cons:

  • That’s a little early in the morning for blustering and yelling.
  • Frequency strength requires wearing a tin-foil hat to tune in.
  • Did I mention no one gives a shit about this station?
  • Read the rest
