Can we talk about how bad WFNZ sucks?

[Peppers90 NC]

Mac gets alittle too sidetracked with other stuff like dancing with the stars for my liking.

since day one with him and the other dude from a while back he has the whiniest most annoying voice and laugh too much to bare. Not even Jim can fix that. Every time I would hear him on the radio, I would wonder how he has a job.

Scot and Uptown Bully have nailed it about Pacman. The content on his show was encouraging the overbearing rednecks call in to talk trash about Duke-UNC and Clemson-South Carolina. Marc and Taylor at least talk pro sports.

Honestly i think we have it pretty good around here. Ive had the misfortune of listening to national sports talk and it is unbelievably bad(Cowherd). I love 610AM its the only radio i listen too. It is so hard to listen to out of town radio because it sucks. I too miss Pac-Man but the newbies are trying and remember where they came from...Raleigh. Everything in Raleigh SUCKS!!!

I think Mac's voice is great, the only time I listen to wfnz in the morning is during Panthers season and he and Jim are the reason....and Colin. a little.

I didn't read this whole thread, but I have to agree, Marc and Taylor are pretty bad. I don't want to listen to guys who aren't local talk about local sports. It's a job for them, in five years, they might be in Kansas City doing the same thing.

As for Bustin' Loose, in the three months I've been back in North Carolina, I haven't heard Moose on the show once. Nonetheless, a better quality show than The Drive. QCB is good for a laugh though.

Was listening to the Drive with Marc James and Taylor Zarzour yesterday - those two are seriously unbearable and I feel their crappy Panthers coverage warrants a thread. They kept interrupting Steve Smith in order to input multiple jock-sniffing comments and Marc James argued extensively with Smith about how he - not Sam Mills - was the "greatest Panther of all time," even though Smith was obviously trying to convey how important Mills was to him and his family.

Oh, and I can't tell you how annoying it is when Marc James calls Beason "Beese" like they're longtime boys or something. He repeatedly mentions how he and Beason went to Miami together. We have got to get some competition in the Charlotte market. Steve Reed is seriously the only good thing about that station, although James/Zarzour interrupt him so much he can hardly get a word out.

FWIW, I do like the Mac Attack, and seeing as Mac gets all the good interviews, ie., Hurney, Peppers, Florio, Smitty, etc. I think that's sort of understood around the market.

Agree, They are defiantly a-wholes that try to say anything that will give them ratings. They never talk good about our Panthers. They are totally Haters!!!!! “We should protest”

OK i tried to listen at 3 but 20 mins in and i had to change it to NPR

I travel a lot across the Southeast for my job, and it is embarrassing how bad sports radio is in Charlotte overall. A lot of bad personalities and a lot of bad programming. I do not understand how the 26th largest TV market in the US can't do better.

I really did like when Garry Williams did the morning show. I like McClain alright, but he is too goofy a lot of the time. Same thing with Packman. Wasn't the biggest fan (especially with QCB always doing the hater bit), but he did at least get good guests on.

I had high hopes for 730, but they are mostly just doing nationally syndicated shows now.

i think mac's voice is great

i disagree!

[Sam Mills Fan]

lol someone should link this topic to an e mail to the shows.

No need. Most of the people that work there, including the hosts, check this place out regularly. Where do you think they get most of their Panthers topics from? I know for a fact Brett Jensen has used threads that were getting a lot of discussion here nearly verbatim for topics on his show before.

Jenson works at Pacos, Tacos and Tequilla. I talked to him for a while one night. Very cool guy, although my girlfriend was less than thrilled about our 45 minute conversation.....

When I email them, I usually include the huddle mentioned in there. They always seem to know what Im talking about

The Mac Attack is a good show. The old man(Jimmy C) is hilarious at times.

I liked Jensen but he has painted himself into a corner with his Panther hate, so much so Big Cat called him out, good luck getting Panther scoops! He is also the biggest Cam hater and doesn't willingly say anything good about the kid, only likes to highlight his flaws, it gets old after a while, this is the Panther market after all.

Frank needs a co-host badly. I liked Frank & Buck. No, they didn't speak perfect English but how many football players do? I valued their expert analysis. Say what you want about Buck, but he and Frank know football. Frank & Moose was a good show with Moose there, better than the Drive IMO.

Marc "with a C" James is a another Cam hater who I hope has to eat big time crow, him and Jensen seemed to enjoy piling on the rookie ripping him sideways. He needs to learn the market before spouting the same kind of crap that got Cowherd kicked off FNZ, pissing people off. Taylor is OK and usually stays in his lane.

I like Brett Jensen's show. Mac Attack of course. The Drive is kinda meh. Frank and Moose is pretty good. Just wish they would update their podcasts.
