Yeah, not so much on the popular part.

Haha Josh Innes is a masterful troll. He hasn't been in Houston for a few years and he still makes people asshurt.

You bet, dude. He's totally in control.

Just saw this on another link http://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/news/2016/08/24/wip-josh-innes-fired-mike-missanelli-fanatic-sport.html


quote:
Sources familiar with the situation said the final straw was the response by Innes to a controversy involving his chief rival Mike Missanelli at 97.5 The Fanatic over a caller that regularly contacted The Fanatic's show. The caller turned out to be a white producer acting as a black character.

It would break my heart if any of those angry dudes who call in to yell at Matt Thomas about the Rockets are actually white plants.

I read an article awhile back that talked about how his "style", while controversial, comanded a ton of new listeners and was backed by a bunch of statistics. I found it so weird, since he was the guy who wholely influenced me to switch to 790 when he was in Houston. The dude rarely talked about sports and had a weird, emo-ish, self-loathing vibe that wasn't anything but cringe-worthy to me. I'm glad he was around for that time, though, because I got (post-switch) an hour or so of Matt Thomas in the afternoons followed by Palilo. Palilo is like the anti-Innes and Thomas is actually funny and knows some things about sports. I always thought the Thomas/Palilo afternoon transition was one of the better ones in Houston sports talk. Clanton and the other dude suck so hard in comparison.

That's exactly why he has never changed his persona. It works.

Wasn't he fired from at least one of his radio gigs in Baton Rogue?

This...when I lived in Houston Innes was just a juvenile idiot and I never tuned in when he was on.

I found Nick far more tolerable than Josh. I never really agreed with Nick but he at least worked very hard and prepared for his show.

I didn't like him and he helped facilitate my switch to podcasts. Why listen to sports radio which is 60% commercials when there are free podcasts with little or no adds.

Do you seriously schedule time to listen to sports talk? I just flip the dial when I'm driving (or when I'm at the front of the line at a red light). Also in the bathroom for s,s&s.

Schedule time?

Podcasts are on my phone at all times and automatically play when I get into the car.

Preach. I've owned my car for 10 months and I've never even programmed radio stations.
