Yikes.

...and, OMG.

GLAD HE IS BACK ON THE AIR!
GREAT SHOW!

Going back to what you were a decade ago is a great way to die once and for all.

What a load of utter tripe! Thanks for nothing KUFO!

my mom said if you don't have anything nice to say.....well [?] that and [?] the new KUFO. aparently testosterone = dumbed down for the mouth breathers in clackamas and greshem.

THIS
IS
AWFUL.

I've already heard them demean a female caller. No women are on the air. Why didn't they hire Lisa Wood back, or bring in Tara Dublin? I hope they like their 12 year old audience. No one with an IQ over 50 is listening to this.

I wonder what those a------- at KU-O are sm--ing. It's a matter of time before one of those g--s calls someone a n----- or a k--- or even a b---- on the air, and that'd be f---ed.

*grabs popcorn* This is gonna be good. By which I mean, there's gonna be a sh--storm.

I for one liked the new show. I was all against KUFO after they fired Cort and Fat Boy. But i tuned in this morning and was on Air twice with them and had a blast on air. (Yes i was the escort) I hope they just don't [?] up like last time. This could be some interesting radio for sure. So keep it up guys.

Nothing more needs to be said. This radio station is dead to me.

It's about time the people in this town wipe their asses of the liberal poop that keeps getting flung up all over their bicycle seat. It's called entertainment people and ONLY the insignificant are the ones leaving negative comments all over the internet. They are the bitter and unemployed and have no sense of humor. Why don't you stop wasting the tax payers money and get off facebook, twitter and media gossip sites and do something like....I don't know....contribute something positive to society? Now...go make a latte!

Hey, anonymous bicycle seat wuss! I'm quite employed, and I'm almost positive I pay more taxes than you do. And if you enjoy eating garbage for dinner, don't let me stop you! You can tell a lot about a person by what they tolerate in the way of entertainment. 8-)

And calling out people who post on a message board when you yourself are...posting on a message board. Way to be witty there, Groucho. I'm going to go listen to Phil Hendrie now. You know, radio for people who don't need assistance to put their pants on in the morning.

KUFO may have found its balls, but only so it can suck on them.

The march towards Idiocracy continues

Mouth breathers indeed.

For those of you who appreciated intelligent conversation on the airwaves while it lasted, the fans of Cort & Fatboy are putting together a database for your listening pleasure. Cort & Fatboy will be putting out a new podcast soon, this time with a real depth in musical selection; no censorship, and no time constraints.

Keep yourselves informed, go to www.flpvp.com/mehfugees/forum and register.

Even if the talent was decent, I wouldn't care. I was a big fan of radio and began listening to talk radio daily when I was eight years old. Not much for FM, but I've listened to nearly every talk show that has existed between about 1984 and 2000. Then I stopped giving a damn. Then discovered RES and C&FB. I still don't listen to radio . . . except for those two shows. So there's nothing that would drag me back to it outside of them.

The problem is that having intelligent content dragged off the air and filled with a bunch of offensive moronic douche bags -- who a whole new audience then clings to and adores and defends -- is a lot like waking up to find out that English has been outlawed and all communication in this country must now be conducted through a series of fart noises and racial slurs.

So depressing.

The real win here for KUFO wasn't in the change of format. There's nothing to be proud of by ditching the only real radio talent that exists (Emerson and C&FB). The win is that they replaced Rick, Sarah, Tim, Greg, Cort, Fatboy, Art Web, Krystal Cash (assuming she was still on?) with Chris Kid, Ricker, Ditch. And Ditch is already the PD. So he's pulling double duty. In other words, they canned lots of good talent for very few people to provide awful talent. And that's where they increase the revenues. Replacing EIGHT salaries with TWO.

I decided to give Kidd Chris a chance this morning and within 5 minutes of listening, he alienated an entire chunk of the audience. I agree that this tasteless type of radio may be popular and "entertaining" in a lot of areas, but Portland isn't one of them. I will seriously be totally pissed if Portland begins to accept extreme racism and gay jokes as an acceptable form of radio entertainment. I never listened to Rick (Don't commute in the morning) but C&FB were/are awesome and a lot of fun. KUFO let me down something fierce. You want tail-chasing frat boys as your key listeners? You can have them.

I was very happy with the level kufo had been evolved too but now it looks like we are back in the stone age. BOOBS TITTIES I LIKE PORNO.....can I get a job at kufo as a DJ now?

Anyone up for a big ol protest outside Alpha's offices? Carrying signs calling them racist and homophobic?

it's sure to get attention.

More like chopped them off and shoved them in a shredder! KUFO has killed itself by cleaning house like this.

I don't mind getting rid of Rick Emerson, since it wasn't a great show, but to get rid of Cort and Fatboy? Not right. But that stupid "mothership" voice they had for 84 hours just made me wanna smash my radio when it woke me up the other day. Now they have these new guys on AND they put the programming director on the air with his own show. That's like being the coach and team captain of a football team. Complete dick-move.

Now, bringing back Marconi is something I'm okay with, but I'm skeptical to what they'll let him do. Will he be the same guy as before, or just another tool? I haven't been able to hear any of the shows today because i was in class all day, but tomorrow I will see what's going on here. But from the post on here... I'm not expecting much.

Eroding market share(15%) + evaporating revenue(32%) x debt service(?) - reduced operating costs (payroll <60%) = kid chris/ditch/ricker/marconi

This is compelling radio? No, it's just more inexpensive and sounds like it.
At least they're live......

We ARE contacting advertisers. It helps to post on things like this, too, because it backs us up. Let me paint a quick picture.
John Doe(fake name), local management head of Kuni BMW receives several calls about a racist DJ on a station he's sponsoring. so, to look into it, he leaves a message at the station, and in the meantime, he goes to Google. Let's say he types in.... "KUFO racist" to see what comes up. He then finds not only several illuminating blogs and new stories... but he also sees a lot of passionate comments, people that really care. He decides to look into the matter further at KUFO, and, with luck, pulls his advertising.

You see, commenting on stories like this helps to reinforce the information we give advertisers.

Even when I was young and Mayax and his Jun Horde overrun my city while I was an Infant I was having more fun than I am listening to the crap that has replaced C&FB this cold afternoon with only Codo and Podo to keep my manhood warm.

Let me first say, I can appreciate the responses to the change at KUFO, in fact I can’t find one person in my circle who agrees with me. That said most of you are missing the point completely. The DJ’s on the “old” KUFO were better suited for Top 40 radio. I am not going to take shots at them, but there are nuances to guys like C&FB and RE that generally irritate the average listener. That might shock you but its true. Most want good music (old “KUFO” had a weak playlist) and DO want dumbed down DJ’s . Most of spend 90% of our time in Portland trying to outsmart and out “liberal” one another. Letting loose and getting some real people is refreshing. I’ll put money on the fact that this new format is going to be a hit. If you want intellectual wit go to AM or get SIRIUS. P.S. I wish Corolla was still on!

Quit your [?]ing and enjoy the Kidd Chris Show. Lucky bastards.

Stop crying about it, and accept the gift you have been given. I've followed Kidd Chris from Philly to his internet show in San Antonio. Trust me, Philly would love to have him back. Get off your high horses and give him a chance, trust me, the show is awesome!

I've been listening to kidd chris since his days in syracuse. the show is awful and that makes me listen to every single show. it's like trying not to encourage a jumper to jump. it's just impossible. i'm level 6.

I didn't find the Rick Emerson show or Cort and Fatboy particularly entertaining, but at least they were better than this garbage.

I'm not even sure where to start with Ricker. His entire persona is fake, and his show doesn't seem to be anything but toilet humor. It's like listening to a Duke Nukem wannabe crack jokes an 8th grader might laugh at. He's trying way too hard and it shows. As long as he's on the air I won't be tuning in.

GOOD LUCK CHRIS MISS U AND JAPPY IN PHILLY ED RUBINO RALPHS

Just another example of out of state corporate douche bags telling the people in Portland what we want. Digital media killed the recording industry and will do the same to radio.

I know what I like and I know where to get it.
Terrestrial radio is dead....long live the podcast.

I predict that “The Kidd Chris Show” will be the #1 morning drive show in Portland in less then a year just like he has been in every city he has gone to. Portland is lucky to have him, but if you don’t like the show please don’t listen. Great Show Foley keep Rockin.

your so friggin lucky to have kidd in your town. you don't even know how good this guy is!

Sorry to inform you, but Portlanders aren't uptight. They are some of the most open minded people you will ever meeet. Here's why they aren't Kidd Chris fans: they are too smart for the juvenile drivel that comes out of his mouth. His show is a sad, sorry Howard Stern wanna-be effort. Portlanders above the age of 14 are too educated and classy to enjoy his brand of humor.

hey everybody, bob from jersey here. you all are the luckiest to have such a wonderful talent, wish i could hear the craziness. stick with it, he'll grow and for those who don't you won't have a clue, sorry!!!!!!

I miss Ricker up here in Seattle. He's over the top that's all. And he doesn't get too homophobic or racist. Having grown up in New York I witnessed the Stern uproar firsthand back in the 80's. I couldn't believe it when my ultra liberal, old school mom became a big fan of his show. For example she's also a huge Martha Stewart follower as well. You'd be surprised at the type of folks who listen to goofy, edgy schlock. I have an aquaintance who's a respected judge who religeously reads the National Enquirer and other supermarket tabloid fare. There's all sorts of types out there.

My Russian neighbor back in NY said it best about Stern. He liked him simply because he could say stuff on the air that you'd never hear in the old Soviet Union. And as a side note I never got Cort and Fatboy on KUFO. Didn't listen to Rick but in my travels to Portland I just couldn't tune in to C and FB at all. When I sample KUFO I want to rock. If there's some goofy jock who makes me laugh between the tunes OK but the Cort and Fatboy thing tuned me out.

Jesus Christ, These people commenting "kidd-chris is too low brow" should have been a stain on a sheet somewhere. It's exactly like Pittsburgh and Nick Zopolus or however you spell that fat-neck failures name. I say us rats in philly and in San Antonio needs to invade Portland radio.

West Coast Bob, assemble the cream team!
