So it's off the air now? Greg is gone and today A.J. started saying he doesn't have much longer? What did I miss?

Heard that Greg was fired...dont imagine that AJ is that far behind him. That show was horrible anyways...heres hoping they can find someone decent
I thought Greg was the Program Director? Their website does now call it Afternoons with AJ. That sure didn't last long.
AJ was alot better and funnier with Kevin Scott at 1530.

Greg and AJ were horrible.
Rumor is they are making a run at Ed Clements.

good riddance.
Sorry, Ed Clements always causes that reflex.
While I agree Greg and AJ weren't great, they sure beat the stuff on 1530 nowdays. There really isn't another option if you want to listen to sports radio and don't have XM or Sirius.
WimberlyAg, you're right though - Kevin and AJ, when they were on 1530, were better than Greg and AJ.

I freaking knew Greg wouldn't last long. That guy is classless. He sucks as a radio host, and probably sucked worse as the program director.
I did like the Kevin and Chad show...Even though Chad was a sell out

AJ annoys me. He rarely talks sports and when he does he has no data backing his positions.
Gregg was bearable.

I won't miss them - I don't think. Just when you think it can't get worse, it does.
Good riddance. Both of those guys completely sucked, unless you enjoyed long discussions on hockey and Big 10 Football (Michigan in particular).
Ed Clements is a moron, but I can't imagine him leaving KLBJ. He's got a job for life over there if he wants it doing his stupid folksy homer crap. Doing sports talk on an all-sports station would eat him alive. He's not bright enough to handle it.

I could handle morning and afternoon B&E, although Erin has some pathologically obsessive dislike for Aggie. Just as long as they don't bring back Brian F-in Jones.
Agree with LateAg, the 1530 guys (Chip Brown , Sean Adams, and David Anderson) are lame, tu homers to boot.

Agreed. Greg was bad, but bearable as a sports talk show host. AJ isn't and soon will be out of a job as well.
I must be the only one that likes Clements - I know he is a homer - but I still think he has got personality - especially when teamed up with Ward. Seems like he has been on the radio forever - that may have something to do with it.
In my mind the best was when Kevin Scott, Dan Neil (sp?) and AJ were on 1530.
Jeff Ward and Bill Schoennig were the best in my opinion. That Gregg and AJ show made me want to listen to opera or something.
Since the Ticket in Dallas just "accepted the resignation" of Greg Williams maybe 1300 should take a run at him. They wouldn't even have to change the name of the show.
1300 was bad, and 1530 is worse. Since Jeff Ward has a stranglehold on the afternoon AM ratings, I think the sports stations are having a difficult time finding someone to compete. If anyone has a shot, they're going to to have to be more patient.
Erin Hogan has turned in his resignation as well...the B&E show is no more.

Radio business must be pretty ridiculous. Or at least it appears that way from an outsiders point-of-view.
I love Bucky, but Erin can definitely go.
Why would Erin leave? The only competition is that stupid Mike and Mike show.
I heard them talking about the show ending this morning, but the way they were talking it was Bucky that was leaving.

No, it's E that's leaving. This was the last sportstalk show in Austin that could listen to.
So what's going to happen next, did they say?
They're not saying. All E is saying is that he has other opportunities, but not announcements.
I don't know how anyone can listen to 1300 OR 1530 in the afternoons. I mean, unless you want to sit around and hear people take random, baseless shots at A&M for a few hours. And as far as that goes, 1300 was MUCH worse.
Drivetime (morning&afternoon) am radio is BRUTAL in Austin. I've started listening to Mike & Mike and like them just fine. Local guys are ALL horrible.
Although many think that Chad Hastings is a sellout, he does have a talk show on Blog Radio. I did enjoy his perspective at times and his since of humor while at the Zone. You just have to remember who he is catering to.
Either his catering didn't work, or he's catering to the wrong people. It doesn't look like it was a good career move - either way.
Right.
There is no good sports radio in Austin. That is what you get when the town does not have a professional sports team. I also get tired of them picking on the Aggies.
No B&E this morning, some syndicated Fox Sports show.
nm, Buck is on now but E got the boot.

I'd be interested to hear what happened there if anyone has the inside story. Radio is definitely not a stable business, especially here in Austin.
FYI - I just read rumors that the B&E show may be reincarnated on 1530 when Bucky's contract is up.
I was able to make it in Austin about 6 months before they drove me to XM. Austin sports radio is horrible.
On another note...If the morning show they played this morning on 1300 was the First Team on Fox with Steve Czaban (a national Fox show), you should give it a try. I love it....very entertaining.
