I worked with Lori at WMGX.  I like her and found her to be a good person to 
work with.  She is talented and can be very funny.  The "Tim and Lori Show" 
on WMGX was very entertaining and Lori, and her co-host, Tim Wright worked 
very well together.  If you listened to the show on WMGX, it may have seemed 
that Lori was the "star" of the show and Tim was just her straight man.  
Listening to Lori left to her on devices on the Point confirms that, as many 
insiders already knew, Tim played a huge role in putting together the show 
and holding things together.  Without Tim, or another strong partner, she is, 
IMHO, in big trouble.

It also seems, from listening to the show, that she has let the events of the 
last few months go to her head.  As a good capitalist, I congratulate her for 
getting two corporations to fight over her services but she shouldn't let it 
go to her head.  In her first few days on the air, she seemd to have a bigger 
ego than Don Imus, without the years of success in the nation's largest 
market.

As for her partner, Pete: he is hardly there.

As for the Point's endless promotion of the show: so far it is all the 
station has to promote.  Their music certainly doesn't distinguish them much 
from the competition.  My prediction is the station will only make a 
significant impact in the Spring ratings if Citadel spends big bucks on TV 
commercials and other promotions.

 more of a turnoff that a turn on. is Lori really all that great? >>
