apparently Renee's FB thread on the KFOG page said '84 incorrectly and she's "doesn't feel like" editing it. 'Cause that's, like SOOO much work. Sheesh.
It probably took more keystrokes to write "I don't feel like it" than to click the edit button and change the 4 to a 5...
Things like this really annoy me. If she misspelled a word then that would be one thing, but the year is a kind of extremely important part of 10@10. I just posted a semi-rant saying that the year is the most important part of 10@10, KFOG's signature show, and such an easily correctible typo can make a huge difference for the integrity of the show.
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.
Bad form to come out and admit you don't "feel like" correcting a bad mistake, but I don't think you can edit a post like you can edit a comment. What she did - delete the erroneous post -- is the only way to do it, from what I can tell.
She needs to channel more professionalism and "geeky über radio nerd" if she wants to win us. She doesn't take this as seriously as she should.
You're very polite to put it that way, Cat.
The on-air presence and song selection are mediocre at best but not necessarily all the dj's doing. Social media is another story, however. Her brook-no-criticism defensiveness (the mildest possible term) is absolutely awful. Annalisa pulled many people in with her Facebook inclusiveness, which took a LOT of work on her part. Clearly her successor doesn't want to put in a fraction of that work, but it seems like a terrible waste to toss all of Annalisa's FB efforts overboard. What Dred Scott does with Connected seems like a good model for how to engage listeners via social media without burdening yourself with a ton of extra work, but the current 10@10 set-up falls well short of that modest standard. Maybe overall ratings aren't affected, so management doesn't care, but they should just scrap the weak thread out there right now.
Given the results so far, Constantine's "Montana-Young" line is a Romneyesque whopper. I do not use that adjective lightly. A more appropriate analogy is your favorite teacher has to move out of town midyear, and you get Cameron Diaz in Bad Teacher as her replacement.
