I first started going to LGP back in 2000 or maybe earlier. It was before it was converted to PHP

For all you haters that complain about commercials on da Fan; 2/14 is the 10th anniversary and to celebrate they're broadcasting commercial free from 7am - 5pm. You asked for it..

And from 5-6PM will be all commercials

Seems like people were let go from Kiss today. Scottro, does Pens games when they have DJs is one that was cut.

Are they iHeartRadio? They laid off a ton of people across country.

Oh wow. He's been at that station forever.

Postby **pens9192** » Thu Jan 16, 2020 5:25 pm

I guess they will get a newer, cheaper producer? Need someone there. Looks like a lot of other producers laid off too

Postby **pens9192** » Thu Jan 16, 2020 5:27 pm

Looks like Matt Sunday left DKPS in order to experience life or something

Probably was still making morning show money from when him and Benz were on. Also forcing yourself into Madden’s show was never good.

Shirtless Tom from the Crowley show is the new producer.

lmao are you kidding? There's no way Madden lets that guy on air. Even for the 3 minutes a day that Bob was.

Postby **Morkle** » Fri Jan 17, 2020 8:58 am

That's probably what they wanted. Young producers who produce, and don't try to be entertainers.

Postby **NailedPenguin** » Fri Jan 17, 2020 9:04 am

Uhh. That guys some dork who runs around without a shirt as an attempt of comedy. But yes he'll probably make less than half what Bob was and they don't need him to be on air at all.

We surmised that it must have been in Bob’s contract in some way/shape/form.

And are cheap to pay.

Lol..well that will be a culture shock going from the goofball show to Madden’s. I doubt MM calls him Shirtless Tom.

Makes you wonder if Madden retires in the near future and Crowley takes over his show. Shirtless Tom will already be there.

The x wouldn't waste that airtime on a useless turd like crowley

Can't remember if I posted this here, but who is the guy in the beginning?

Postby **shafnutz05** » Mon Jan 20, 2020 7:17 am

Yeah who is that Ralph guy? Damn he got tormented back in the 90s, lol.

Postby **iamjs** » Mon Jan 20, 2020 9:33 am

Makes the stuff that Fedko used to get look light by comparison. I tried looking up a variation of Ralph, Pittsburgh sports, public access, tv host, and the only thing that showed up were links back to that video.

Ralph: I don't let that stuff bother me. People like my show, blah blah, etc.
Also Ralph: If you don't like my show, go ahead and change the station. I'm a legitimate host and I don't need to hear this.

Postby **iamjs** » Mon Jan 20, 2020 9:43 am

Oh wow. He's been at that station forever.

Looking at twitter, he's been there since at least 2011 but I'm guessing it was much longer than that.

I didn't know he was producer for DVE's morning show prior to his time at the X.

Sean McDowell's Twitter feed is great.
