Don't hold your breath.

You're forgetting that WAAF isn't exactly targeting the most highbrow
audience in the world.  We're talking a station that's targeting a 15-25
male audience, and I'm sure this is the type of "humor" that this audience
eats right up.  Look at Stern and all his wannabes...most if not all pull
the lion's share of the audience (and that particular station's)
income....few, if any know the meaning of the word "class".  You & I may
not have much use for it, but we're not who they're trying to reach, either.

There's no accounting for taste.  I personally find Charles Laquidera
boring as hell, but I know several people who wouldn't dare miss a day of
his show.
