On a previous thread, I had speculated to the notion that something big was in the works for John Moore. I had come to this conclusion by comparing morning programs on Talk640 and CFRB. It was obvious that John Oakley's intellect and ability to relate to people was far superior to that of Bill Carrol's. Enter John Moore as a sub for the morning show out of the blue on CFRB and the pieces of the puzzle seemed to fit nicely. In listening to this experiment, I had one observation: it was painful radio - the chemistry just wasn't there. John Moore would make a "intellectual" remark and there would be pause or John would have to dumb down his remark to bring others into the fold. My language may be a bit harsh but it illustrates the point. So in my view, they are going to need to re-tool the supporting cast or they going to need to manage the interactions so that this type of awkwardness is not recurring. Oakley seems to be able to get away with these situations by filling in the gaps before any has a chance to notice.
