You should tweet this to his old buddies at 610...sure they wouldn't be surprised one bit especially Kroger

[Chaos]

What a twat, seems to wear out his welcome everywhere he goes.

[Mr. Scot]

Guess he 'revolutionized' their radio too.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

He shall now be referred to as Marc with a C-ya!!

He is just nails on a chalkboard irritating.

Of course, that's why he keeps getting 'promoted', right?

From the article referenced above...

92.9/The Game morning host Marc James is out after 16 months but the circumstances of his departure are kind of murky.

Three sources said they heard he was gone and though program director Terry Foxx has not gotten back to me, I decided to post this because James has been wiped off the website. That’s usually a good sign someone is gone. James’ Twitter no longer references the Game.

Why was he cut? There is a story floating around that James sought autographs from Mets players at a recent Braves game, the type of fan-like behavior sports talk show hosts and sports reporters tend to avoid.  I am not sure how true this is but heard it from two very different sources.

Autographs?  Seriously?

In May, 2014, the Game hired James, who came from a Baltimore sports station, to take over for Kordell Stewart in the afternoons. But a few weeks later, the Game dumped Bailey and placed James in the mornings. The station hired Mike Bell to team with Carl Dukes in the afternoons.

Baltimore?

The Game saw a huge jump in ratings late last year during the football season, peaking in January with a 3 share. But its numbers have fallen to back to a 1.3 in June before rebounding to a 1.7 in August. It was tied with some other sports station, a station that does not subscribe to Nielsen Audio so I am technically allowed to reveal their numbers.

How long before he makes another account here?

[ctrcat]

Never like to hear anyone lose their livelihood

You needn't worry.  He has more advanced degrees from all the finest institutions of higher learning in this country than there are stars in the sky.

Thats what you get when you spell your name like a douche.  Only the French can get away with that poo MarK.

[Paintballr]

It's weird that his show peaked 5 days after the Panthers beat the falcons if I looked at the dates wrong. Didnt he lose a bet with 610 this past season?

peaking in January with a 3 share

 A 3 share? Damn, that's still miserable and it's considered a peak?

For those that are unfamiliar with that and I am summarizing here. It's means a 3% share of all stations in the radio market for the area during that period of programming. 97% of the audience was listening to something else.

Which, by the way, was quite the accomplishment while he was satisfying the world's entire poontang supply that were in such wanton desire of his love muscle.
