Kane, (as he wants to be called) Sami (who I actually met) Sarah made things hilariously funny. There were times I had tears in my eyes. Hearing Kane scream SAMI, was great. Memories of Kane getting in trouble two or three times and almost being sent home. The infamous female intern taking a shit and putting her goods in the microwave. (I only heard the update about it. Would love to know what year, date and day this happened) The segment where women enjoy sticking their fingers down man's coin slot(s) (AKA buttcrack) to make them jump. My personal favorite was the birth of War of The Rose's (now called Roses)and Old Farts Hitting The Breaks. Finally, there was the celebrity who will remain nameless who was supposed to show up to the show and didn't,...was funny. The aftermath made it even funnier. I remember listening to this show as much as I could. However, I haven't been listening to the station as much as I use to. Was why? The music gone from bad, to horrible to hell no...now it's at the level of...turn that shit off. Also work just got in the way. I like intern John. His rise to stardom has been great to listen to. So has Eric's. I believe he replaced Scangela. I wonder what would have happened if Scangela had stayed with the Kane Show? Anyhow, I truly feel Hot 99.5 needs to mix up the music. 90's music would be great. Why you ask? Because back then people actually sang. This autotune thing annoys the hell outta me. Rapping with marbles in your mouth seems to be a popular thing, but it is not for me. Maybe I'm just becoming an old fart. I listen to the Kane Show because Kane's crew are just as funny as the originals, but I can't listen to the crappy music for to long anymore.

Now there are times I might not care for every song selected, but that is just how it goes. There is even music play from the 2000's to today. However, I have noticed 98% of the time when a R&B song is played, the rap versions are taken out in the song. I have wondered why this is? Especially when is a clean radio version. 97.1 Wash FM plays great music, but they also have been known to play Christmas music before the end of October and all the way to January. I find this to be very annoying. No I am not a fan of Christmas music, because we working in fast food and retail shops, this music was played 24-7. It no wonder employees unplugged the music system, but I digress. Between 94.7 and 97.1 I get my fill of great music. I have my stations preset to every company vichele(s) I drive. Great times on an every day basis:)

If you want to be berated all day for how everything you thought you knew about sports is false,…read morebecause you've never played the game, and then finish things off by giving a big middle finger to everything but the Redskins and golf golf golf golf, then WTEM is for you. How has sports reporting/entertainment become such an obnoxious jockocracy? Why do people think fans want to be told how little they know "because they never played the damn game"? Considering the fan base of all sports consists of people who have never played the game at the collegiate level or above, they should be a little less abrasive. Without these idolizing fans, pro athletes today would still be struggling to pay their medical bills or working blue-collar jobs in the offseason. Worst of all, these guys have obviously never played the game of sports reporting before it fell into their laps, with 90 percent of their comments seemingly made up of cliches or lifted out of NFL Films scripts. The biggest culprit of this grating trend is 980. Rich "Doc" Walker and Brian "B-Mitch" Mitchell really only know football, and thus it's the only sport they talk about with any sort of sincerity. The same goes for basketball and John "Coach" Thompson, who seems to have WTEM by the balls. Why else would he be permitted to run over hard breaks on the hour with ad nauseam talk about "kids these days and their Walkmans" and incoherent ramblings about race, while at the same time having a stock of rants contradicting everything he just said? "Smokin'" Al Koken is a breath of fresh air, but this might only be because he's the only non-jock, non-Redskin cult hero on the station. If I were him I would go home every damn day wishing I were dead, though. How can anyone from the outside of this elite athletic circle stand to put up with them all afternoon? Then, at the end of the day, you finally get some regular joes talking sports. However, Steve Czaban is like your raging conservative relative, always complaining about women's sports, soccer, hockey and taxes and counting down the hours before his next tee time. Andy Pollin is a little more palatable but seems like a jerk to callers (although maybe they deserve it for calling in). Fortunately, Mike Wise from The Post and Thom Loverro from The Times have been coming on with increasing frequency. The print columnists ad some legitimate insight to Pollin and Czaban's show and are much lest hateful and cynical than either of them. Yet somehow they've never played the game! In conclusion, I'd like to give WTEM one star. But I listen to it almost every day. I hate commuting.

Let me say, I COMPLETELY agree with everything Kevin says. He is dead on in his review…read more However, I find Szaban pretty funny, and I think the Koken/B-Mitch/JT show is funny as well. Doc Walker is a little light on content and high on "balla of the week" type shenanigans, but on the whole is a decent 2 hour show. I do like that Doc grills Skins GM Vinny Cerrato. Read Kevin's review because he is dead-on correct, but listen to the shows yourself and form your own opinion.
