Re: Wildcat Radio: 1290
he was a train wreck and needed to be replaced so his replacement brings back his syndicated show?
Re: Wildcat Radio: 1290
WOW, ALL the replies in that RICH IS BACK post are extremely negative.
Haven't listened to 1290 in about a decade - what's the story on this guy?

Re: Wildcat Radio: 1290
Read this thread. I guess the station was a bad environment for a lot of employees and Rich made it worse.
His show was pretty bad, too.
He also had a twitter feud with Sheer.

Rich wasn't even physically in Tucson when he was doing the show.Postmaster wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 2:57 pmRead this thread. I guess the station was a bad environment for a lot of employees and Rich made it worse.

Re: Wildcat Radio: 1290
I know he wasn’t at first, but I believe he was here eventually. There are pics in this thread of him broadcasting at Dragoon Brewery and another of the show being live streamed that says it’s here. I also thought I remember him saying he finally moved to town.
Also, if you read Mike Luke’s letter on previous page, he talks about in person interactions with Rich.
But I could be mistaken.

Did not know where to put this but does anyone know what happened with Mike Luke and PHNX Sports? He has left them and started his own podcast with Scheer.

Re: Wildcat Radio: 1290
No idea but guessing it was not his decision
I think he’s running out of options

Their parent company, ALLCITY, laid off a bunch of people across all their brands right before Christmas, wasn't limited to PHNX or Mike Luke

Re: Wildcat Radio: 1290
Luke could do himself several favors and improve by:
1. Doing some preparation and research once in a while. Present stats more than just opinions. Maybe even do some analysis.
2. Try to gather his thoughts before speaking. The guy's speech patterns are tough to take sometimes. Maybe have better notes?
3. Don't eat during a segment. Soo unprofessional. This, combined with his scattered speech, is just awful.
4. Try to cultivate some sources. He doesn't really seem to have any.
He seems like a nice guy and I hope for his success but without Scheer, his casts would be pretty much worthless. A couple of his other guests bring much more to the table than Luke ever does as they seem to do some homework once in a while.
Hope he improves.

Re: Wildcat Radio: 1290
Glad he has daily UofA content but he is really hard to listen to. He is a real amateur that somehow got on radio. All the things you said above are spot on IMO.

Evidently you have to have lived through UA Fandom from birth to be able to talk about it

Re: Wildcat Radio: 1290
I liked Luke as Woodman's sidekick. Didn't really like it when he did the show solo. As you all have said, he didn't seem like a professional.
Re: Wildcat Radio: 1290
Not really a fan of his stuff overall, think Carcassdragger covered many of the issues I've got with the production.
Hope that he figures it out and improves, having more UofA content is always good.
