Hopefully, this will allow Chris Mueller to get a bump to an earlier timeslot, I think he is pretty good.
Ratings steadily grew through January, culminating with a much bigger than expected number in January. Then it was a sharp nosedive in both February and March before things leveled off in April.

That suggests that Steelers talk drives the station. The same hosts who got mediocre ratings in March got great ratings in December and January.

As far as Colin, there's been no interest in adding him to the Monday-Friday lineup. They have been talking to someone else about a big role, though.

Dunlap left to spend more time with his kids - he's not going to the Fan.

lol the guy made mention of working at the airport as long as it was 9-5. I don't think he cares about where he ends up too much.

Colin Dunlap is not made for a prominent radio role after hearing him on the weekends. He's a great fill-in guy, but not an everyday guy. Paul Zeise has been on the last couple Sunday evenings. It seems like all of the P-G gents are making appearances on The Fan now. Cook, Dunlap, and Zeise.

Dejan Kovacevic has been doing segments with Chris Mueller on the late show for Pirate talk. He's not bad at all. I think he'd be a pretty decent host if he weren't tied down with his commitment to the P-G.

I think Mueller will move up a shift. That has to happen.

Dump Vinnie. I can honestly see Pompeani doing a show with Cook.

Oh Marshall Dylan...you should worry more about walking 20 steps without having to stop for air, not what I'm going to do next in my career.
Is it just me or is he being a little petty / getting too upset over this lol.

IanMoran - When people hide behind the internet with fake names and publicly get into the personal lives of others, any reaction is warranted. That's why I post with my real name. If Marshall Dylan is John Mehno, that sure explains a few things to me. Which leads me to his criticism of me in the BCT many years ago because I ripped Cam Bonifay when I created the Cam Must Go website.

Why does Dunlap care about what is posted on LGP?

What did he really say? He heard he wanted to work at the Fan... then when someone said he wanted to be with his kids he just stated his opinion that eventually most people have to work again. Idk I didn't think it was anything HORRIBLE and if I were Dunlap I would have posted on twitter the first thing he did about LGP and it not being true, the rest seemed over the top / bitter to me (almost bullying-like for a little bit). Just my opinion though

Dylan had said that he contacted the Fan even before he left the PG, I'm pretty sure you didn't see all of the fight posts between Tony and Marshall then.
