I used to listen to 610. Even know some people that used to work in their sales department.
They seem like nice guys, but they’re just not that talented. Which is what you get being the 33rd ranked market in the business. You’re not going to get great radio with lesser talent like that. If you are talented you either leave to go make more money at a larger market or you elect to stay in KC if you want to make it your home. But there’s only so much they’ll pay you in that market.
Binkley is more of a fan than he is smart about sports. And he doesn’t really belong on the radio. He’s just a fan that loves sports. I bet he’s making the minimum you can make.
Henry Lake stutters way too much to be on the radio. And he doesn’t give a shit about KC sports. I’ve heard they have to make him go to the ballparks and do field work. He’s still pissed he got fired from his hometown Minnesota station.
Klingler is just there. No effort given.
Carrington is ok. He’s not a natural at all. I’ve heard he’s always late. Like to everything job related. Didn’t have to work for his gig, got it because he knew Nick Wrong. He’s more like a BJ Armstrong or John Paxon. Role player. He’d be better with an alpha host like Parkins was.
Fanning wasn’t renewed at channel 5 because he got old and uglier. 610 has low standards. Match made in heaven.

I like Binkley, he's a fan more than anything and I think that makes him more relatable than any show runner outside of Steven St. John. Henry Lake is just bad, he makes way too many obvious, lazy points that it's hard to take him seriously as a host. He also goes against the original contrast they were trying to make with pairing him with Jay Binkley, I see what they were thinking, they just picked the wrong guy for the job. I think if you put Binkley together with Carrington, I would listen to that show.
Fescoe is Keitzmann, Keitzmann is Fescoe, they both are tied for worst radio host in KC for me. The only difference is Keitzmann will discuss unpopular sports during down times of Chiefs and Royals that make him really boring. At least Fescoe will talk Chiefs until the cows come home, he wont switch to bass fishing, or bowling to maintain small areas of fans, so he gets points from me on that one.
