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.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
