THE MOUTH, OCTOBER 17TH, 2016 –– Eau Claire Wisconsin John Murphy returned to his radio show last Friday, a day after walking out during live show on WAYY over 'exasperation over the nasty tone of political discussion." According to The Leader 7Telegram, Murphy said on Friday he agreed to remain involved with the revamped format because he still loves the radio business after 34 years stint and nearly 14 years as co-host of the “WAYY Morning Show.” The new morning format will feature Murphy, Luc Anthony and Dan Kasper, who previously hosted a local sports talk show called “Luc & The Captain,” In anchoring a call-in show that will focus on sports and lifestyles. Murphy said his longtime co-host Bob Bosold also may be involved at times The working title, Murphy said, is the “No Politics Zone,” and it will air from 7 to 10 a.m. weekdays on AM 790 and FM 105.1. At least initially the show also will steer clear of talking about local current events, he said, as even discussions of seemingly nonpartisan issues often devolved into political rants.

Murphy said on Thursday that he was fed up with the constant spewing of political venom that had come to dominate discussion on the morning show and felt he couldn’t continue enabling what he dubbed the “hurricane of hate”

After a quick on-air interview, one Good Samaritan, Bruce Morrell (bottom right) was found after his stepmom heard about it on the KVJ Show (Kevin, Virginia & Jason - bottom left). Kevin tells Jockline, "We have still not found the second Good Samaritan, but we're continuing to look. He was said to be dressed in a business suit and driving a white BMW. He and Morrell kicked in the windshield and helped drag the couple to safety. Alexis and Eric were able to thank Bruce for saving their lives on The KVJ Show., but the search is still on for the remaining Good Samaritan that Alexis thinks might have just been her guardian angel. Kevin describes Morrell as a low-key guy and didn't want any attention, so he left as soon as he saw that the couple was safe. Bruce is covered in Batman tattoos. So when Alexis and Eric thanked him for saving their lives, they gave him a Batman mug and hat.

CBS12 West Palm Beach reported that Eric and Alexis had gone out on a date to celebrate two weeks of marriage when their car crashed. It landed upside down and caught fire. Alexis said a couple of guys came out of nowhere and kicked the windows out and pulled the couple to safety. WATCH HERE

'A Symbiotic Relationship; 'Top Comedians Name The Most Influential Radio Shows For Stand Up

7

THE MOUTH, OCTOBER 14TH, 2016 –– Chad Zumock is the former radio host who recently sat down with Gregg “Opie” Hughes and his former long time partner, Anthony Cumia (this was the first time in two years O&A were on the air together during Opie's new afternoon show on SiriusXM). Zumock writes in theinterrobang.com that he began thinking about how radio has been so important to so many comedians through out history. He recalls that through radio he became acquainted with the likes of Jim Norton, Rich Voss, Bill Burr, the late, great Patrice O’Neal and how he heard about Louis C.K. from the Opie and Anthony Show. Zumock adds that in the early days of radio, comedians like vaudevillians Eddie Cantor and Ed Wynn did classic bits and over the years and decades since comedy and comedians in radio would continue to grow and evolve."

"Are there still radio shows out there that are changing the lives of comedians like some have in the past?" he ponders. This led to his reaching out to several of the top comedians and radio hosts to find out which shows still remain the most influential to stand up comics. Troy Hanson (Corporate Program Director of Rock formats for Cumulus Media) tells Zumock, "It’s really a symbiotic relationship isn’t it – morning radio shows & comics. Both bring a great piece of the puzzle that the other needs to the table. When I think about how great Nick DiPaolo sounds on Tom Barnard’s show at KQRS in Minneapolis, or how Jim Breuer absolutely kills it when he goes on Opie’s show, it’s the way a naturally funny conversation happens.
