WNEW is missing the point by trying to put Leykiss in OandA's spot. I'm sure they figured, "OandA's audience demographic was young males, so they will enjoy listening to a blowhard woman-hater."
The problem is that Leykiss' angle is that he is trying to tell people how to think. He's like Rush Limbaugh in that he caters to pathetic people who can't think for themselves. Then he takes calls from those few people and pretends that the whole world loves him.
But he takes himself way too seriously. I don't know what the listeners like in LA, but New Yorkers don't like it when some a-hole on the radio is trying to tell them how to live their lives. His 'be a jerk' theory may work with getting women (must be some really stupid women out there), but it won't get him listeners in New York.
People enjoy OandA and Ron and Fez because their shows are all about humor and entertainment. They don't claim some false premise about trying to teach us something. Listening to them is enjoyable because its just like hanging out with the guys. Everyone's just there to have a good time.
If WNEW want's to keep the listening base they built with OandA and Ron and Fez, they will kiss Tom goodbye. Right now, I'd rather listen to Rush Limbaugh, because at least he talks about new things every once in a while.
Remember, we may be a young demographic, but we are still adults. We left preschool a long time ago, Tom, and we don't need you to tell us what to do.
