In his slot, Bill Green tickled me with a straight-up delivery of the news of Jerry's future. So the story goes:<BR/><BR/>Jerry Bowyer is to replace the Rev. Billy Graham, with a first sermon at the Regatta on Sunday, with Boy Scouts to carry the X Commandments in a old (historic) frame in a parade down Liberty Ave in convertable.<BR/><BR/>Brand new minister!<BR/><BR/>Big party is planned, but no booze, is to be tossed by the owner of the WPTT station. <BR/><BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>Stay tuned.Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481330.post-1119882307696081282005-06-27T10:25:00.000-04:002005-06-27T10:25:00.000-04:00Not a fan of the changes, either.

And she talks too much about legal matters and court happenings. Really, it's a way to keep the signal "warm" until Cullen. The sad thing is, there won't be a conservative local voice to counter the sometimes outrageous and sometimes slanderous Cullen audience.<BR/><BR/>WPTT clearly becomes more liberal, which has traditionally been the dreggs when it comes to ratings. There isn't a market for it locally; or as Air America shows us, it doesn't work nationally, either.<BR/><BR/>Bowyer's show has become far-more religious in programming over the last few months. It doesn't surprise me that he wants to move on; however, the move to WORD isn't even a lateral move, unless the pay is superior. I wish him the best.<BR/><BR/>Doug Hoerth in the afternoon is the best, as Jerry wasn't going to put a dent in Fred Honsberger or Sean Hannity's ratings. Doug is a much better afternoon fix, as no one else is doing "light" material.<BR/><BR/>No more Neal Bortz: could never get into his gig anyway.
