Idaho Escapee: How’s KVNI’s New Format?

Full post here

I am wondering how the local radio station sounds now, with its new transfusion of semi-eminently qualified talking heads sitting around the mike in the mornings. And, I've heard that the afternoon shift up there has been taken over by a long-time employee who has all the personality of a small soap dish (I borrowed that term from a National Lampoon record)...I had long thought that doo-woppin' oldies format is illogical, stupid and bumbling. "Oh, give me an example", you say. Okay...that station regularly plays "Liar, Liar" by the Castaways, which is NOT a doo-wop song! Game, set, match. (I almost sound like I know what I'm talking about here) -- Idaho Escapee/Atmospheric Ruminations.

DFO: I haven't paid attention. SR sports writer Greg Lee sez he and his Brand X counterpart are now regulars on a KVNI sports show Friday mornings. Which would be a good thing. Other than that, I can't answer Idaho Escapee's question.

Question: How's the new KVNI format going?
