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.

      Panthers schedule is out

      By jfra78 · Posted

      I've actually been very complimentary of him.  I have said that I think he will get the bulk of receptions and yards. I have said I think he will be a 1k yard reciever thia year. He has issues tho and I guess no one is allowed to point them out.

      We don't have to lie, 4.8 was official and there were scouts who had him in the 4.54 to 4.57 range

      Think the "official time" put out was 4.48, but there were a lot of scouts there who of course all had difference times as it's all handed timed by them.  Think I saw it as low as 4.43 and as high as 4.62 or something, but in the end it's all basically the same speed because 40 yard dash is so pointless. Anyone who complains about his speed is just someone who wants a Chase/Jefferson/Nabers style #1 as opposed to an Evans style #1 who isn't going to beat you because of his speed but his other abilities. In the end, he's fast enough for a player his size and surprisingly quicker and more agile than people give him credit for too. The real problem is that Panthers fans can't get our past big WR failures out of their head, they hear "big WR" and automatically see a plodding KB or Jarrett in their minds and assume that's also T-Mac.
