WBQT – Hot 96.9

Absolutely love Pebbles, Melissa, and Deidre and oh boy Wiggy! The music is fabulous the commentaries are entertaining!
I have no complaints. The music is always so good and brings back fabulous memories from the good old days.

The current lineup is pretty weak. Doug Meehan has to be the dumbest guy on the radio and his show sucks. Jim & Margery are okay. They fired Severin, but I didn’t really like him anyway. Smerconish is a bore. Michael Graham is great. Once Howie’s contract with WRKO expires, hopefully he’ll move over to WTKK. It sucks that his show and Michael Graham’s show are on at the same time. I enjoy the Andelmans’ show.
WTKK switched to a KISS108/JMN94.5 clone, so this review is no longer applicable.

3.5 stars… they used to be better. I’m a talk radio listener… I’d rather hear conversation and it gets me thinking. When NPR is just too much of a snooze, I switch to 96.9 fm or 680 am — only like Howie Carr and only about 70% of the time. Michael Graham started out more civilized and was actually kind of funny, now he’s really acting out to get ratings. Do I hate you Michael Graham? sometimes… I know we must all pursue the mighty dollar, so good luck with that. At least Michelle McPhee got me laughing. My current favorite is Jim and Margerie — thanks for helping me laugh!

The Doug Meehan Show on WTKK 10am-​Noon
The dumbest 2 hours of radio in town.

This station is meant to be a form of entertainment with bias factoids and white-​ego-​centric ideologies, it’s like a bill O’reilly bundle of joy. Take them too seriously and you will be a branded a homosexual or a baby-​killer or a liberal-​nut sheep.
I do appreciate a show where people can call in to fume about issues, otherwise I would expect terrorist activities from the ultra-​con party. Take everything they say with a huge cup of salt and you will be on your way to become a better informed citizen.
But there ought to be more supervision with all the hatred (Mexican-​bashing, Chinese commies, or anything none-​diversity) being spewed on this network.
I’m a moderate so I see the +/​-​on both sides so being fair and balance will not create advertising dollars. Let’s just say that I won’t be selling my soul anytime soon to make an easy buck.

Well I didn’t think this day would come, but I’m now less than excited by 96.9 these days. Perhaps it’s because they’ve put those annoying Andelman brothers on from the Phantom Gourmet and have managed to mix them in uncomfortably with the other «good» hosts. Maybe it’s because Jay Severin isn’t quite sounding like he did back in the day and is really crossing the line for me lately. It could be because Michelle McPhee is unfit to host a radio show (you can actually hear her thinking and she struggles through sentences). Whatever it happens to be-I’m losing interest in this station. I used to think they had it right around the clock, but the past year has me listening elsewhere.

I find myself listening at certain times. Mostly because, after I’ve heard the BBC news, and Fresh Air, I need something else.
Despite the fact I don’t agree with Michael Graham on several things, I like him. He’s polite with folks who have differing opinions, and I dig that.
Jay Severin? I keep expecting him to ask female call-​ins their bra size. And if you aren’t a sycophant, he’s really abusive. Hey, get some Class, My Friend. If someone doesn’t automatically agree with you, Debate. That’s the point of your show, isn’t it? Political Discourse. Just my opinion.
Jim Braude and Margie? Well, sometimes they get stuck on tangents, but I enjoy their show.
So A Medium Grade, for the shows that are on when I’m listening

The best talk shows .I just never change the dial! Can’t sleep at night? Try listening to Phil Hendrie. Informative when he is serious. but he is absolutely hilarious with his meandering conversations. He ‘s a democrat!

Little known fact– I was supposed to be on the O’Reilly Factor once in college, but decided against it for the sake of my own mental and physical health.
My bff listens to this station in her car because she likes getting enraged. Like Craig, she enjoys yelling at the radio. Me? I have enough rage boiling within me, I don’t need some straight white yahoo spouting some ignorant crap to get me worked up. After a long day dealing with fucktards at work, I just want to have a soothing ride home listening to news about far-​off lands full of whackos fighting with each other, maybe Zimbabweans. Not crazies from my hometown wanting to roll the clock back to 1933 and cleanse the land of homosexuals.
PS– Headquarters are in Dorchester? Really?

I don’t know why I am always listening to this on my ride home. I hate all the DJ’s or talking people’s. I don’t know what to call them because they all just talk (lot’s o’ shit).
I am always screaming at the radio like a crazy lunatic moron but it can’t be helped.
Let’s see, who do I hate?
Mike Barnicle
Marjory Eagan
Bill O’reilley
Michael Graham
Laura Ingram
Jay Severin
and more
They get five stars though because when I’m screaming at the radio people get out of my way no one cuts me off and I get home quicker.
Thanks 96.9 Here have a smiley :-)
