L&T suck, they are one of the many re-packaged shows out of florida, JohnBoy and Billy is the other set of clowns but they are more classic.

L&T was on 103.9 down here in College Station, i think they are gone now.

Did anyone here the skit L&T did today? I missed it because I only flip through the station out of habit. I did catch some callers calling in telling them they were going straight to hell for the skit though.

Anyone know what that was all about?

And again, they suck!

L&T are horrible. I thought the Morning Edge was much better.

I hope they didn't move here, because it's already time to send them back.

It may not have happened yet, but if not, they're in the process of relocating. Unless what they told us in our last meeting turns out to be totally wrong which isn't unusual.

And it's "their" website.

mrlynch, I am guessing this was the "Mental Challenge" skit. I only listened to about five minutes of it.

They had on some guy who apparently hit a tree on a motorcycle with a serious speech impediment and, from what it sounded like, some mental incapacity. He was also a song writer and wanted his songs aired. The challenge was to get some guys on the line either like him or faking like him. He had to listen to them and guess whether they were faking or not. If he won, they would play his song. So, basically they were making fun of this guy who had a pretty severe speech problem (and likely mental problem as well).

I didn't listen to any more. Not because it offended me so much (the guy volunteered to do it and wanted his song on the air), but just because it sucked. I switched back to the trusty old Ticket.

They're moved in to the Dallas studio now. This morning they had a little reception and got two topless chicks to start making out.

And I missed it.

Lex and Terry are horrible. I've switched over to 92.5's morning show with Bo and Jim. Bo has about 5 generations of Ags in his family, and the girl that does weather and traffic has one or two. They're actually pretty funny. I miss Jagger and Dean, but these guys will do.

I didn't know that. I'll have to bring it up next time I bump into him.

Bo & Jim are just about the nicest guys you'll ever meet in this business.

It's turned into a show for white trash to call in with their relationship problems. It's not even entertaining.

I used to listen to 102.1 during the commercials (always long runs) at 103.3 in the morning (still will in the afternoon).

I'm not giving them much of a shot, but that's because what I've heard doesn't make me want to give them anymore of my time.

I've migrated to 92.5 as well. 102.1 has become Redneck Relationship Radio. Eff that.

Jasmine is an intern from North Texas, so she is still working there. Mondo Mike was a tool, I never liked Slim Jim either, but Jeager and Dean were worth a laugh or two and they usually kept it moving along.

I have tried to listen to Lex and Terry, but it gets old real, real fast.

Jasmine hasn't been an intern for ages. Her job wasn't really in danger with the others as she isn't really an on-air personality. She's in the traffic dept.

Jagger, Mondo, Dean and Jasmine have now appeared on 105.3 doing the 9-12 spot

Jagger and Jasmine are on from 9-12. Mondo and Dean are on from 10-12 because of contract agreements. just fyi...

There is a billboard on the Dallas North Tollway calling for the removal of Lex and Terry frome The Edge, saying all they talk about are panties.

Anyone remember the first time L&T replaced Bo & Jim on Q102? They sucked then and continue to suck. XM or The Ticket would be my recommendation.

I saw the billboard, but went by too fast to get the number..anyone have it? I know its 1-866, but I'm not sure about the rest. I'll do whatever I can to help get them off the air. I was already pissed that the regular morning show was gone, but I probably would have been ok if L & T were funny...I don't think any of it is funny, just rude. I don't know how they have any fans when they make fun of them all. Anyway..if someone has the number, please let me know!

(214)866-8000 is Clear Channel's general line. You want to talk to Duane Doherty, the program director for 102.1. His email is (I believe) DuaneDoherty@clearchannel.com.

If you ask for his extension rather than asking to be trasnfered you can dial 866-EXT# and go to his direct line.

Damn it feels good to not work for this company anymore.

Take in mind that they DO take direct feedback like this seriously, but it pales in comparison to the ratings and I believe L&T are doing fine there. I doubt they're going anywhere.

Duane is a good guy btw. Don't rip into him.

It makes me wonder why peopld are surprised that the market that loves The Ticket support Lex & Terry.
FTAG 2000

That's too bad to hear they're doing okay in ratings.

I can't think of any other way to describe Lex & Terry than calling it Redneck Lovelines.

They ruined a good thing on that station.

I had to read this whole thread before I could post cause I did not want to piss anybody off. EFF the new EDGE and CLEAR CHANNEL. They screwed that station years ago when they bought it. Between the posturing of the old owners, losing so many of the support peoples jobs; to the corporate BS, I hate what has happened there. FYI the old owners held out for more money so Clear channel turned a decent “KTSR” like station they already into an alternative channel. Scared the old owners into selling for fear of competing. By that time the new station was staffed and they had no use for double staff (hence the move from 94.5 to 102.1). A friend of mine, good AGGIE, worked there and she was one of the few that was offered a position, taking over her friends old accounts, she said **** OFF. I grew up listening to that station and it used to be BADA$$. They somehow managed to build a huge alternative listenership (I think I just made that word up) in a bastion of redneckville. So again EFF the new EDGE and CLEAR CHANNEL and those (insert metaphor here) LEX and TERRY.

I've written an e-mail to them before, and I'm never rude, but I hear them reading a lot of other people's e-mail's on the air and making fun of them or *****ing them out, leading me to believe that they don't take criticism very well. but that's not really a surprise since they think that everything they do is wonderful. I'll try this guys e-mail though. Hopefully if they get enough negative feedback, they'll think seriously about it. Anyway, thanks for the help.

Emailing the DJs wont accomplish crap and is very likely to get an email mocked on the air.

Emailing Duane will at least give your comments some review but no amount of negative attention is going to get them yanked as long as they're doing well in the books.

{I switched to it twice this morning. I heard Korn & System of a Down. Why must we play the heavy metal in the morning?? Why??}

Why, because the truth lies in the lyrics:
"Still they feed us lies from the tablecloth"-System Of The Down-BYOB. The Edge had a good thing going! True, all good things must come to an end, however, they failed the listners with the nonsensical BS from LEX, REX??? and Terry Show. Please bring back the old Edge and keep on playin..KORN, TOOL, SYSTEM OF THE DOWN...ETC
