Chris Cantore to replace Chargers insider Kevin Acee on Mighty 1090
Letting Coach Kentera was a major blunder but firing Hacksaw also did damage to the brand as well. 1090 is a legacy station built on the work of Lynch at XETRA. 690 during the 90's. The Mighty 1090 has made a ton of missteps. First they fired Saw and replaced him with a dopey name-dropper morning host. No question Sileo has a good rolodex of guests that he can remind of his 6 month stint in the NFL during a strike year & he's somewhat more effective in the morning, than Saw who was out of place-but still of value in other areas. But spend a few minutes listening to Sileo and you get the feeling that the lights are on but nobody is home. Kentera was really the last connection to XETRA and the heyday of the Padres and the Ross era Chargers going forward. The afternoon show has a lot of issues, a driver personality, and a slow paced jock (who increasingly has nothing to say). But Kevin Acee is a souless opportunist who wants to build his brand, how that was supposed to build 1090's night numbers is beyond me. I cant imagine in fact the 90's era staff sleeping through the Chargers move, like this station did. It just proved irrelevant. As noted 1360 (vastly under powered) has done a pretty good job against this powerhouse. Moving to Cantore --A good talent specific to his shrinking audience (Alternative is dead in the water in this market) But a bad fit, think Dennis Miller on MNF. But he will make the most of it. What's troubling is the fact that the decisions at 1090 are made by a faceless research geek, who was hired to make the Walrus #1, they obviously decided instead of hiring a first class Program Director they opted for someone with no background, no track record of success in Sports or Talk Radio, Mike Shephard. If anyone has ever worked with this guy, his lack of people skills are epic--coaching liner-reading disc jockeys, and high profile- talk show hosts are two different skill sets. . Now, without the Chargers,& more importantly without the Padres Flagship package and all the ancillary revenue and marketing opportunities--they will be dead on the water without big changes. What amazes me is they didn't offer Coach his job back.— April 2, 2017 11:31 a.m.
