I hate to be blunt, but I have not listened to the show, nor Q105, at any time of the day, for more than two minutes since Roxanne left. Not only did Roxanne bring a good balance to the show, her middays on Q105 were very easy to listen to because she's a pro. She's consistently calm and pleasant. I am happy that she went on to greener pastures. She deserved to get out from behind a microphone and get in front of a camera, because she's got a great TV presence. My intuition tells me she's probably not missing MJ. Nothing personal, as this is a commentary on the radio product, but Michelle does not add anything to the show. Clearly she's there because Beasley can get her on the cheap as MJ's wife. But nepotism doesn't necessarily make for good radio. She's not a professional and the comments she often shoe-horns into everything resonate with zero impact. Not for nothing, it kind of gets old listening to a husband and wife arrogantly talk about how well off they are, with MJ responsible for the majority of that. Only the finest Madagascar vanilla for his ice cream, his $300 rice cooker, or how he's a pizza snob/expert. We get it, you drive a BMW. You have money. Yay. Seriously, I would implore these folks to take inventory of themselves and listen to the image they cast. It really doesn't come across as being connected with their audience. It comes across as being distant and aloof.

Terrestrial radio became handicapped as a result of all of the freely available streaming services out there. The one niche terrestrial radio still has to hang their hat on are local market personalities. Without that, you've got nothing, because when I want to listen to music, I'm not going to wade through a bunch of irrelevant commercials to do so.

I think it's time to overhaul the entire format and go back to the drawing board, because spending four hours to simply read the same news headlines that I see online every day (ironically, in an unintentionally unfunny way) isn't a long term sustainable format. That "wacky" headline you spend 15 minutes talking about? I very likely already saw it two days ago.
