Celania prob retired. He's old   .

Yeah they're program director (who is a Duke fan and obvious UNC hater).....I don't know how he still has a job. They've reshuffled hosts, lineups, programming and the result is still the same. FNZ is complete garbage and borderline unlistenable. They benefit from having a couple pro sports teams and a few groups of rabid college fanbases in the area. 

Tony DiGiacomo is the program director now.

I'll be in the minority and say I think local radio in Charlotte does a very good job considering what they have to work with. Obvious by whenever these threads come up that they are not going to please everyone. 

I'm a fan of Kroeger and his show in the afternoon and I don't think it will be long before he gets scooped up for bigger and better things. Think he was a natural since the first day and one of the best shows WFNZ has ever had in this market. Love the different guests (especially former players) he has on that provide a different perspective on things. Eric Weidl talking NFL draft on Fridays this time of year is good even though I am not a big draft nerd. Guy knows his stuff.

Mac's show does exactly what it is supposed to do for a morning show. It's entertaining and serves it's purpose. Everyone loved Jim and his personality but he had been out of touch with the current day sports world for a long time. You could tell he didn't care much anymore and was nearing retirement. 

I don't really listen to the mid day shows - usually go to National sports talk once I get to work. 

Only issue I have with WFNZ is that "Salesguy" that gets his tweets read on the air all the time. He seems like a real dick.

I've noticed the volume has gone down drastically ever since Jim left. He was definitely a fan of Salesguy. 

Very true! - Mac could be in the middle of a discussion about the Hornets and Jim would cut him off to read a tweet from Salesguy about "Meg" Ryan and the Falcons that he probably sent out 2 or 3 days before. Jim loved him some SC.....errrr...I mean Salesguy for sure.

Not to blow smoke up your a$$, but heard you on WFNZ a few times and you give a really good interview. Should have you on more especially during the season.

I enjoy Macs, Franks, and Krogs shoes specifically during panther season. All of those guys are fans of the team which makes it enjoyable for me

Weidl is giving you his opinion as a fake scout. He seems like a nice dude but I can promise you if he knew what he was talking about, he would be working for an NFL team or a real scouting agency....not the fake one espn created.

I totally agree on Kroeger. He has national talent.

I loved the old Gary Williams/Celania days.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
