The Natchitoches Native Going After Des

[Cajunrunner]

Why would a story about sports originate on political talk radio 96.5 and be written by a political talk show host who also writes for the La hay ride. The motives behind that article wasn’t about football at all. Went right over your head? I see.

The “stirring the pot” is because that’s what Townsquare Media expects. They want clicks, no matter what. The dude is trying to avoid getting “Dave Schultz’ed”.

Word is Schultz was let go because his postings weren’t driving enough clicks and comments.

Again, I don’t like what Joe did, but if he’s facing the same bull____ mandates that Schultz, Stevie P and others faced, I honestly can’t blame him. Joe Cunningham isn’t the enemy, it’s Townsquare Media.

Shreveport folks getting mad because they think someone actually called the city the dump that it is. And a political hack stirring that pot.

. . . no matter where you go with this you can't take the football coach, football team and football bowls out of the story . . . if that ain't sports, what is . . .

I disagree. There’s news out there. Go find it.

“the people down south act like the northern part of the state doesn’t exist.” .

Does it exist?

Shreveport is about as Louisiana as kale and quinoa gumbo. Nothing against the city or area. I visited a few times. It's just different from the southern part of the state.

Unfortunately, some of what you and I would consider the news that needs to be reported won't get nearly as many clicks and comments as:

Cajuns football coach insults North Louisiana
What is the best gumbo/boudin/boiled crawfish in Louisiana (this keeps getting reposted 17 1/2 times every year as some "new" article")
What Louisiana city should you avoid for your wedding
Is a Buccee's coming to Lafayette

And that's the thing. Townsquare Media is apparently firing people for "not getting enough clicks and comments". Nevermind the fact that ever since TS Media took over that building on Bertrand, whenever you do decide to click on a news article, the page acts as if it's been infected with Ebola with all the popups and random ____.

Why is HOT 107.9 still considered the official flagship UL station? They could give a damn about the cajuns. Just look at what they post, all they care about is the other school, top golf, and sharon moss. The morning show guys only care about what benefits them. Calling all those stations at 1749 Bertrand Dr "Local" is a joke.

Coverage of our local university and its athletics, even on our “flagship” ESPN1420/The Supposed GOAT 103.3, has gone WAY down from what it was pre-Townsquare takeover to now.

100% Agree, not one station in that cluster has even said anything about the demo much less mention the bowl game. Live & Local my _____....

Anyone who saw Des’ press conference and was in Shreveport last year, knows that Des was referring to the wether, when he made the comment about the bored fans and being in S-port last year. Look at how Joe Cunningham the Yankee (above Mamou) tries to spin it as he was taking a shot at the city. Joe should be a shamed of himself as someone who works at KPEL 96.5 a Lafayette station.

Yes, I called out Tim Brando from jumping in and joining this faux outrage. This guy and Tim Brando do not like the UL program, and will occasionally jab the program.

Within that building, the only thing I consistently tune into is CCSN LA (Classic Country Saturday Night) on 97.3, but sadly, I'm wondering if that program eventually will be taken away by Townsquare Media. I also sparingly stream/tune-in to Moon Griffon and Joe Cunningham for local/Louisiana political talk.

Absolutely NOTHING else is worth tuning in to. Prather, Walker, Stevie P. and Ian Auzenne (yes, I even enjoyed the liberal in the morning!) are ALL gone, and replaced with stuff that personally either puts me to sleep or is like listening to someone drag a rake across a chalkboard.
