iHeart cancelled Ramsey & Rutherfod.
- Thread starter CardX
- Start date
I’m just glad I moved on from local sports talk radio a couple years ago. Classic rock music puts a smile on my face and I no longer live in so called fans/radio commentators Debbie Downer heads. Peace!
Correct. He got fired from his job doing sports updates twice per hour during WHAS morning and evening drive time.
Huge Mike Rutherford fan, really going to miss him, and enjoyed John Ramsey and his outspoken dislike of all things uk. The ride home from work just isn't going to be the same without them. It seems odd to end the show right in the heart of basketball season??
iHeart is a corporation in a big city. They probably didn’t know who those guys were to be honest. They looked at it from a revenue standpoint, they can put on Doug Gottlieb for no extra money and all the advertising money is a straight profit. Even with less ratings, the production and staff costs will be $0.
They sold out years ago (1986) and over time less and less input comes from local shows. They have the UofL games because they still have the strongest reach for listeners, so we’re stuck with them for a while.
Mike will be back and better than ever no doubt. I don’t know about John. Once TJ was gone, it seemed like he lost his edge and wasn’t the same as he was on 939. And John took a lot of shots at the 939 guys, hard to know if he’d be welcomed back there at the time.
Now the Afternoon Underdogs are back...LOL.
No dignity involved, just keep that Iheart paycheck coming...

Could not stand them the first time around. Either music or ennis on the afternoon drive now
Never liked Dave Jennings in this role. I have the same problem with him as I do with Sweeney, they both come off as always explaining things to the audience as if they know and we don’t. Both seem to think they are the smartest guy in any room. Those who think that way usually aren’t.
