Adler On Line

[Cock Throppled]

From hatrick on another thread...

If you don't listen to NW anymore, your missing out on Adler on line, he is based out of Winipeg and his show comes on in the afternoon. He is very quick on the draw, and very funny to listen to.

I beg to differ. I'd listen to Warren before this nutbar. I much prefer to listen to a llocal nutbar over someone from a National show. Adler is awful. He almost never lets a guest speak, only has guests that seem to agree with him and rarely takes phone calls. He is ultra right wing and from what I heard (I gave a few months trial) he asks poor questions that gets an answer he wants rather than elicit information. I do agree Bill Good is a patsy who talks a good game when nobody is there, but rarely challenges a guest in person.

Charles Adler is a monumental asshole!!!

If any of you have heard Michael Savage you'd see that Adler has copied the same format. The majority of his show is him yammering away and provides very little time for either the guest or callers to speak. They're both unbelievably obnoxious and are nothing more than pop journalism.

Peter Warren on the other hand I actually enjoy. He has a wide variety of guests and topics, is usually well informed about the topic at hand and has a good balance of guests and callers. That said, just because like listening to his show I don't always agree with his POV but variety is good.

Adler, Warren, and Dave Rutherford are all idiots.

Pat Burns was the best. A God. Back in the day you had a dynamic trio of talkers in BC -- Burns, Jack Webster and good old crazy Doug Collins. No one on air currently is even half as interesting as those three.

"Burns on Line, go ahead....hi doll"

Listening to Adler you can see how are media has contracted in recent years. he only quotes the Post and Can West news services becuase they are all part of the same web.

Any man that would speak positively of Dr. Laura Schlessinger obviously has serious problems in the manhood department.

Adler is a pompous ass. I think he must go home and listen to reruns of his show all night. He must coo at the mere the sound of his own voice.

CKNW has been hijacked by group who can't read news. Listening to the women who read the news is as painless as driving toothpicks under your nails.

Peter Warren is so-so. He is a good investigative journalist, but he's a also a shameless self-promoter, always dragging out his website, his "I'll pay the dime" cliches, his "secret fax", and the eight hundred number recitals. Uses up most of the show's time as a result.

David Berner is another pompous ass who hangs up on anyone who challenges his low level intelligence and dim wit.

Good quality talk radio has gone the way of the Dodo bird. And don't get me ranting about the Sports Talk guys either. Jeff Paterson uses most of his airtime stammerring, stuttering and inflecting his inane drivels. I've never heard so many pregnant pauses coming out of one individual. He either doesn't have much to say, lacks confidence, or spent too much time in broadcasting school's vanity classes.

Apparently Warren is about to be "off air".

He, or a guest, spoke very briefly about it today.

Another opinion

Adler On Line was a local show in Winnipeg a year ago. He was completely plugged into the city, local and provincial politics, etc. The show used to air between 8:40am and Noon Central. Having him do 1p-4p Central is horrid. His incredible style is wasted in this time slot.

He does have an incredible voice and sometimes he gets caught up "hearing himself and how good he sounds" in the headphones. Problem is that now he tries to be controvercial - when before hand, it came naturally.

Believe it or not, I've met him and Charles Adler is a guy that is affraid of his own shadow out in public.

Still like him however, wish he'd come back to the local end of programming.

Who is trying to compare Adler and Peter Warren? Two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT broadcasters from different generations. Warren supposedly was to retire when he left CJOB in Winnipeg - when Adler took his spot!

I'd actually love to hear him do more sports talk - anytime someone can rip Marc Hebshire the way he did over the Gretzky thing - man that was a work of ART!

I listen to Adler some afternoons and generally don't mind him but if you listen to how he phrases questions to his guests or listeners, it is mostly done in the form of his statement or comment and the guest then merely confirms his opinion. We don't often hear a straight out question with time left for a complete response.

Peter Weisbach?

On a similar note, what happened to Peter Weisbach?

Similar to those described in prior threads.
