Trouble at WFNZ: QCB and Mark Yarbro fired, full-length podcasts eliminated

Disclaimer: I know maybe 33-50% of you guys HATE WFNZ and everyone on it. I get that. I don't though and neither do a lot of people on here.

With that out of the way, I'm pretty pissed off. QCB and Yarbro have been with the station since like 1996. I know other employees were laid off this week too. And they also eliminated full-length podcasts because that was apparently eating into their live listenership and now have like 20 minute ones only.

Sad day, sad day. Old forms of media are dying off left and right.

I just hate Garcia.  Sports radio sustainability has always boggled my mind.  All these guys talk about the same thing, doesn't matter which show you hear, it's the same.  By hour 2, I'm not going to want to hear about Lebron paying a fine or how fat KB is.  It's redundant.

Yeah if I had to guess it would be over 50% hate WFNZ based on comments I've seen on these boards over the years.

Not living in the Charlotte area doesn't expose me to them so I don't really have an opinion either way.

Hate to see anyone lose a job. @thebigcat probably out throwing a party over this news though.

At least they don't work in cubicles though, amirite?

People like to complain about everything but a lot of people on these boards enjoy listening to WFNZ. You would think half our roster was hated along with Gettleman and Rivera on these boards. People are more likely to take the time to type when they feel negativity. Its not a legitimate gauge of the fanbase.

Never hated either of the two but QCB's segments in Primetime were mostly unlistenable, still not as bad as anything "The Hitman" spewed and he was promoted to Program Director who then apparently had to fire his former cohorts.

hate for anybody to lose their job but it happens.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
