    With radio's market share shrinking like the Louisiana wet lands, only the best are going to survive.

    Forget paying for it. Geez. Try iheartradio or radio.com apps for your smartphone or tablet pc. Free and actual Cleveland radio stations make an appearance (everywhere else's radio stations too)

  • Or if you're really with it, you could stream these apps through your phone and over your Bluetooth connection to your car radio

  • Roda is gone? YAY !!!!!

    I can start listening to WKNR again ! He was so annoying, and

    had to try way, way too hard to have something intelligent to say....

    i don't pay for it. it came as a package with the new car.

    i know all about streaming radio and it sucks ass. depending on the connect. you know how many times i've listened to the browns game over the internet only to watch the little 'buffering' time wheel spin delaying live action?

  • someone in this thread said Roda may have voluntarily been axed bc he is working on other projects. What projects are those, does anyone know?

    Are they just "cutting back", or did these guys do something.....including possess the wrong pigmentation. (Believe it or not, I think that sort of thing is happening.)

    Are you out of your fucking liberal mind? Idiot!

    Ghoolie, if you don't think that race may not be a component in the hiring/firing of these on air personnell...both radio and TV, then you are seriously out of touch.

    Primordialy, the jockocracy rules. But within that there is no doubt in my mind a hiring quota.

  • Roda was one of the only few guys I liked. Especially during NBA season. I am VERY SAD to see him let go. He spoke fast, witty and intelligible unlike that slow dim witted Michael Reghi.

    I like Reghi sometimes....but usually everything he says is done with an air of pomposity.

    I said it, but no, I don't really have a clue. It is just speculation. I just know that a lot of guys who only spend say 2-3 hours on the air have other jobs.

    And sometimes those jobs include working as account salesmen for the same radio station. A guy may spend 3 hours a day on air, but the other 5 hours doing ad sales.

    We have a family friend who is the radio voice of the Lake County Captains (Indians Farm Team). He also is a team accountant and fullfills another role in some capacity...and is also an insurance broker...

    all you have to do is turn on ESPN to see this in full effect..
