I always looked forward to October. No for Halloween or Columbus Day but Jocktober! Jocktober is a play on Rocktober, which was a promotion of rock stations to feature bands’ playlists on each day.
Jocktober was created by Opie and Anthony. They shine a light on their industry to show how shitty the talent is, how it all sounds the same, and how Station Managers and Program Directors are killing the industry. This is what Patrick Ryan and we do today! As Greg “Opie” Hughes, Anthony Cumia, Jim Norton and Sam Roberts tear apart these shows with no mercy. Then the “pests” who listen to the show will go on social media and post the most horrible things on the shows being profiled! Then the show staff describe in detail what has been posted! The show getting destroyed then have to shut down Facebook for the disgusting posts!
This bit is the absolute the funniest thing I ever heard on radio, ever. And it goes all month long! I know Hughes and Cumia have their issues with each other, but I wish they would get back together for Jocktober. Last night I was listening a broadcast on Youtube on the way home from work and my face was sore from smiling and laughing for over 30 minutes.
Please check this out. It is radio should be and used to be!
