Garry Meier has been on Chicago corporate radio forever and in recent weeks corporate radio of WGN radio is a move to slash costs with decreasing g revenue took out this radio legend in Chicago and stuck him on the Internet channel for WGN. I always hated having to listen to this creep on the airwaves over the years and couldn't quite apprehend why he was always on the radio given his lack of talent. Why some radio stations have a separate line up of shows on the Internet over traditional broadcasting lines is unclear but it seems honchos at WGN think there might be a several future for Internet radio. Whatever the case it allowed them to get this clown off the airwaves and likely to lower his contract and visibility for WGN radio. This humiliation for Garry Meier is undoubted not going to be easy bit in this day of age what power does he have. M Meier is not that interesting radio oat and his ability to last as long in the third largest market is a testimony of those in charge of the local corporate radio in Chicago in just keeping a familiar voice. This format was fine until the Internet opened doors for people to listen to what they seek and want to instead of being forced feed morons like Garry Meier and Steve Dahl in Chicago. I'm Sure every city had radio jokes of their own that drew few listeners yet they retained jobs in radio through various friendships and connections with individuals who jumped station often in local radio markets. Garry Meier is irrelevant and things he said were often dull and in his rating s tis showed over and over again before WGN finally made the decision to plug him online and see how that experiment developers. Anyone that thought European travelers with unlimited banking resources somehow were better people because of their flashier clothes compared to Americans is someone who deserves to be demoted and regulated to WGN s very little listened to Internet station.
