KBME-790 not interested in Pallilo partner

The Chronicle's David Barron reports that sports talkers Rich Lord and Marc Vandemeer (also the voice of the Texans) have signed new deals with KILT-610.

Barron seems surprised that Clear Channel and KBME-790 did not make a play for Lord, to team him up again with former KILT partner Charlie Pallilo.

blogHOUSTON, on the other hand, is not surprised at all. Pallilo is arguably the most articulate, knowledgeable local sports talker in town. Pairing him with someone like Lord only negates that advantage by diluting the talent.

As Clear Channel programming guru Ken Charles told Barron,

"I've never understood why sports stations feel that afternoon shows need partners," Charles said. "Thousands of talk-show hosts all over the country go it alone in afternoon drive, if they're good enough to do it.

"I think Charlie is great by himself. It's brought out a new dimension. He doesn't need a partner."

We agree.
