Yep.
The move upset me, because I was used to listening to Joe and Adam in the AM. I’m glad they’re on a higher powered station (aka I hate trying to tune into 620), but Mark and Mike are horrible. Their show isn’t put together well, it’s obviously not planned that well as they constantly have problems and mis-cues, and their knowledge on the ACC (the main reason I tune in) is crap.
^^ didn’t really notice it before, but yeah, Hanes’ questions aren’t that insightful to put it nicely.

Too funny Dana
I don’t have an issue with Pack radio BUT I had to listen to the Florida game on the radio and I have never heard a worse call of an “end” of a game than that one. It was as deflating as the defeat. In fact — I didn’t even make out that Florida hit the 75 foot shot at the end of the game until at least 10 to 15 seconds after he made it!

Taylor is not as knowledgeable as Adam, but he’s a heck of a lot nicer guy. Steve Logan was the greatest personality the area has ever had on the radio.
BTW, has anyone noticed how bad Tony Haynes post-game questions are? They are things like:
* That was a great steal for the breakaway just before half. Did that give you confidence going into the second half?
* When you hit that three, did that make you feel like you could win this game?
* When your team went through that 8 minute scoring drought, do you think that was key in the loss tonight?

If he says during an interview “He is the voice of the Hurricanes … we are blah blah blah” I’m gonna jump off the nearest building.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but I am sooooo happy that Adam and Joe are taking over that spot! Much as I can’t really stand the voices – at least they are familiar and somewhat listenable.
I REALLY miss Taylor Zarzar and Steve Logan! Triangle Sports Radio is definitely at an all time low.

I actually like Mark & Mike – I can’t say I like them better than Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic in the morning, though. I do enjoy their hockey discussion, but I guess that’s just because I’ve gotten so accustomed to hearing Maniscalco’s voice associated with the Hurricanes. I generally only listen to sports radio on the satellite whenever I travel out of town, anyway. I’d rather just hear news and information here locally in the morning (which I can only find on about 2 stations in Raleigh).
I hope they leave David Glenn where he is. He does a good job with the ACC, particularly basketball. It’s challenging for anyone in this market when you’re trying to keep fans of 3 separate schools happy at the same time.

Congratulations, Adam. Too bad that Bomani Jones and Morgan Patrick aren’t still on the air.

This just cements Primetime with the Packman for me on the drive home. I’m too tired in the morning to care.

Now, when can we replace Maniscalco as host of the Canes pregame and postgame shows? Someone who actually has more than limited hockey knowledge and is not a blinding homer would be preferable.

In addition,they try to be funny in order to fill up air time but they fail miserably. It’s great to see Adam and Joe back where they belong;kudos to management. A word of advice to Mark and Mike start getting some sleep and/or new material.
