In Reply to: FYI: Geoff Pinkus discontinues radio challenge posted by bsp on June 09, 2009 at 10:15:11:
: After referencing postings appearing on the ChiTownRadio.Com Message Board
: at the opening of his radio last night, Geoff Pinkus announed the immediate termination of his weekly radio challenge.
I'm sorry-but someone has to say this. This whole ordeal is so stupid. Wasn't the point of the "radio challenge" initially to combat messages on boards that said "anyone could do the kind of show Pinkus is doing on the overnight"? So he launches a "feature" because of what a few hundred out-of-work gossipers say on a message board, and then cancels that feature because of what a few hundred out-of-work gossipers say? What a loser. Doesn't belong in the business. Your show can't be driven by message board posters. Welcome to Chicago radio-you have a potential audience of 8 million. You shouldn't even be acknowledging the shop talk.
