I feel real bad for him b/c he’s had several jobs and I feel bad for his family esp. his sweet wife, Faye, who did a great job on the air a while back. Wonder who they’ll put on now? I really like Michael Savage - hint hint.

I can’t say I was a big fan, but at least he was focused on local issues. The first place I heard about the Katherine Johnson coverup was on his show. It’s good to have local perspective.

Please, please, WSB, don’t fill your time slot with another canned national host. Most of them talk 3-4 hours a day on the same issues over and over, nobody can do that for long and remain interesting. Talk radio has gone to crap because of it. If you say you can’t afford one measly nighttime host, you’re just being cheapskates who aren’t willing to develop new shows and personalities.

Scott Slade is the one they should be firing. That guy is the most boring, monotone thing on the radio. No personality. He doesn’t even speak clearly. He continually says, “WSMeteorologist” when introducing the weather guy. Bring on Jeff Hullinger!!

I knew something was up when, for two nights in a row that had something else and they didn’t say anything about someone “filling in for”

Krok’s delivery was annoying as he often yelled and sounded like a teen on steriods. Most of his subject matter and opinions however were right on. I’m actually surprised he lasted as long as he did because many of his rantings, true as I believe them to be, were a poke in the eye to the a certain power group in Atlanta that’s not used to being called into question. Hearing past his yelling, I found it to be refreshing to have this forum on the radio.

I hope WSB fights the temptation to play “best of” or syndicated trash and go with another local show. They passed over Royal once, maybe they see the error of their ways now.

I just updated his replacement: Herman Cain. It’s possible they will put Cain on earlier in Savage’s time slot and place Savage in Krok’s old time slot. The boss man at WSB wouldn’t say yet if that’s exactly the case but it might happen. Savage’s ratings since he joined WSB-AM as a syndicated talker has been relatively poor.

Chris seemed to get wilder & crazier—he liked wierd sounds and overplayed them. I prefer the intelligence and sophistication of Herman Cain to Krok. Savage rants, but he is smart and I have learned from listening to him. I can’t say that about Krok. and I still miss Ken Hamblin.

Nothing to listen to at night. Herman is Ok, however, Chris was great. If not for Chris and his stance against illegal immigration, Senators Chambliss and Isakson would have voted for the Amnesty bill. We would have 20 million + more leaches trying to change our culture. Thanks Chris, I hate to see you go. With only Boortz to listen to, maybe 750am is trying to be like 640am and loose listeners.

It’s gotta suck to get canned right after a big party and before Xmas. He just isn’t that talented. He’s adequate, but nothing special. Though, we’ll always have that video of Chris getting zapped like a mofo…

Herman Cain is OK as well…a bit slow paced and too similar to “Uncle Neal”

Herman Cain will still be 1000% better than that apple polishing ninny Sean Hannity. Sean just parrots the right-wing evangelical line for ratings. He reheats Rush’s material and delivers it like that kid from grade school who always ran to the teacher to rat out what the other kids were doing. He’s just a weasel. He has high ratings…I can only hope that he gets busted doing something disgusting and career-ending just to make way for somebody else on the airwaves.

I hate to see anyone lose their job, especially this time of year, but Chris Krok was a joke. His first night on the air, he made it clear that he wasn’t afraid to use race baiting in order to get calls and stir up controversy. It was funny that his stance was that all the Black people in Atlanta felt that Bill Campbell was not guilty, but all the Black callers who called him that night agreed that the former mayor was guilty. Instead of giving his opinion and seeing how things would play out, he decided to pander to bigots. Because of that, I say good bye to bad rubbish.

I said it @ radio-info.com.

What I don’t get is why they didn’t put Arum in that slot? For what they wanted that slot to be (basically a funny, high-energy, night version of Slade’s, show), Arum would have been perfect for it. His show is essentially a “local, Atlanta-related Seinfeld” (i.e. it’s a show about nothing). But it is hilarious, and there are few people I know or listen to that know this city like Arum does. It never made sense why they brought in a guy from Minneapolis when Arum would have rocked that slot.

I really didn’t think they would bring in Herman Cain. No offense to Herman; great guy. But we don’t need anymore politics. We don’t need Boortz, Jr. It boggles my mind that in an industry where behind closed doors, everybody recognizes that people are sick of politics already and are looking for more, they are too conservative to try anything different. Heck, I’d take Ramsey over Cain (even though then that is 2 financial shows, at least it isn’t 4 political).

If WSB wants to do something that will actually help them catch back up to V103, they need to stop looking at an all politics lineup, put Arum in the 10 pm slot, wait out their contract with Savage and then look for something completely different for the 7-10 pm slot.

Just my two cents.

THANK YOU…WSB…Chris Krok..was TERRIBLE…all he did was do his show prep from the pages of the AJC. I wont miss his annoying voice at all…Savage and Levine..are bad enough…but at least they are national. I liked Royal Marshall..at least he knew Atlanta. I lost what little respect I had for Krok when racial issues would come up in Atlanta and instead of LISTENING to people in the Black community that KNEW somethings about the issues going on.. Krok would just read from the AJC as gospel…and speak ignorantly of the issues going on..he did not know his ass from first base. Krok was a weak talk show host…when he was ignorant on a subject…he just resorted to race bating, name calling or just yelled in his shrill voice over callers..I work nites and listen to nite radio…but Krok drove me to buy satellite radio. Sorry he lost his job over the holidays…but good bye…Cain at least does his HOMEWORK on issues and show prep…his conservative views aside…hey BJ Ellis…maybe you can get a shot..I have read your self promoting posts in here for a while…maybe heres your chance..

I’ll definitely listen to Herman Cain. I tried to listen to Krok, but the way that he would just repeat himself over and over got on my nerves pretty bad. Now, as for who else needs to be fired/sent to a deserted island:

1. Steven “Steak” Shapiro and Sandra Golden. THAT’S what guys want.

2. John Kincaid. Gotta love that. Good job. Another idiot who repeats himself for 4 hours. Make it the Buck and Jeff Van Note Show. That would make too much sense though.

3. Christopher Rude. Ugh. Seriously, this one needs no explanation.

4. The program director at 97.1 the River. Enough with the Eagles! You can cool it on the Elton John songs too. My God, man, your station is the only one in town that plays classic rock, and THIS is the best you can do? You’re fired.

5. Scott Slade. Fire him at 6:07. Just for the satisfaction of being able to say to him, you’re fired at 6:07…it’s 7 minutes after 6. Really?? Is that how that works? What if it was, say, 8:23? Would that be 23 minutes after 8 am? Dang! I think I’m catching on!

You fire these idiots and you will have STARTED to make a real difference in this city.

I’d like to feel disappointed at this, but the fact is that his incessant use of sound effects (if once is good, twenty times would be really awesome, right?)and his refusal to listen to callers (equal opportunity- he didn’t listen to those who agreed or disagreed with him)made him virtually unlistenable to me. I like his opinions and his choices for community involvement, but when you carry on until 45 seconds til the next commercial before squeezing a caller in over the music… argh!

By Scotto

December 6, 2007 10:57 AM | Link to this

Mark Arum (the traffic guy) would be great in this time slot. Mark has subbed for Krok in the past and I always thought to myself that Mark would be perfect in that position on a full time basis. Mark would keep the show centered on local topics and would not hold back on expressing his opinions. Mark does a fantastic job in the 7-9p slot on Saturday’s with Ted Clark. Give Mark a shot at taking over the time slot vacated by Krok!

By Skipjack

December 6, 2007 1:02 PM | Link to this

Arum or Royal would be nice. Give either one of them Krok’s old slot and at 8pm let Herman Cain rehash what “Father Neal” said earlier in the day.

WSB however will no doubt serve up the yellings of Savage. Gag. I’d love to see the economics of a syndicated program v. a locally produced program. It makes me wonder if WSB just looks at the profit equation or if they are considering, like it seems they did with Krok, that Clark or Neal will retire at some point and that the late shift is a good training ground for the new kid.

Everytime I listened to Chris Krok, I really wanted to be listening to the Royal Treatment, but I guess he’s a family man now and has made the wiser choice. When ever I listened to Herman Cain sitting in for Boortz, I wished they could find a regular place for him. Chris was good, but no Royal T, but I bet me and Royal both like Herman Cain! Thanks WSB!

Chris Krok was ok at first, but became increasingly annoying…too immature. I love Herman Cain, but would rather listen to Royal or Mark Arum in that time slot. As for Scott Slade, he is awesome, and the reason I started listening to WSB radio several years ago. Don’t ever let him go!!

I have mixed feelings about losing Krok. On the one hand, he did try to expose a lot of the goings-on in the Atlanta area. On the other, he was starting to get to be a bit extreme with his rappings and sound effects. He started his tenure at WSB with a bang, but his last few months on air was getting to be a bit too noisy to suit my taste. And I’m just speculating here, but I think his last big hit on the “religious leaders”, and the exposure of the local corruption, (which apparently included the mayor and members of her family as well) was the blow that hit back. I suspect that somebody pulled some strings and got him canned. You can’t fight these people unless you’re on that level, and have some amount of corruption of your own.They’re just too big. These folks don’t want anyone around who is going to expose them and all they’re involved in. I’m just speculating on that one.

I say bring back ROYAL. He was excellent and local. I am sick of listening to canned national syndication and boortz and clark 2x a day. And at that night time slot, I do not need to hear Herman talk about politics. I get enough of that on WSB during the day.

Every now and then the guy was funny but his taste in music was as obnoxious as his demeanor. A frat boy trying to make a splash. He belabored his meager reasoning to the point of revulsion and his wit was on the on the level of a celebration of his own flatulance. His victory in debate with his callers was only by virtue of the kill button whereupon he would launch into his repetative singular diatribe.

Sorry to see Chris get fired just before Christmas. His show had some entertainment value. He did a great job on fighting against a major issue and making an impact- illegal immigration. He should be highly commended for that! But his show was lacking in class. He spent way too much time on each issue, and he always made fun of the misfortune of others. Poor taste and low class. Now maybe he will get a dose of his own medicine if someone makes fun of his misfortune. He will probably find a new gig somewhere. I like the decision to bring Cain on! Good move WSB! As far as 640 AM goes, they ruined that channel. Kimmer was the ownly radio program I could listen to that put a smile on my face and made me laugh after a long day at work. I miss him.

Reading that Krok was booted was joy to my eyes…. He was in way over his head, too immature, & victim of far too many cups of coffee (or whatever stimulant that caused him to sound like a strung out speed-freak)….

The worst aspect of his show, and why I simply stopped listening altogether, was he just got ugly, very ugly, taking glee in others’ misfortunes & missteps, being disrespectful to many of his callers, & sinking into the typical hypocritical, lie-spewing M.O. that has made the likes of Limbaugh & Hannity millionaires…

And hearing that “Nephew Herman” will be taking over that slot is hardly much of an upgrade, he’s boring, preachy, & while he endlessly pronounces his rationality & grasp of all the “facts”, he’s often spinning them madly, making illogical leaps, or simply spouting falsehoods. And he’s just as hypocritical as most others behind a microphone.

I don’t need to hear someone “more liberal”, just someone who’s reasonable, seeking & even exposing the truth of whatever issue they discuss. There is such a dearth of talkers who are truly honest, & passionate, who are true advocates for whatever is best for our nation, not simply one’s party, or political/religious ideology…

I was shocked that WSB would’ve gone out looking for a late-night potential Boortz successor, and in this entire nation, could only come up with so lightweight a talent as Krok…..

Herman Cain and the subjects he is best at are too dull for late night. I’ve heard it all before. BRING BACK THE ROYAL TREATMENT!! Or Mark Arum. We want some fun between 10 and 2.

chris did a lot of good things charity wise, and was good about supporting the troops and first responders locally (namely police) but I can’t say I’m sorry to see him go. My one gripe with Chris was that he spent entirely too much time beating some issues to death. He would spend 3 out 4 hours pounding at one local issue and then the last hour putting in his 2 cents here and there. And to be honest, there was something about him that just got on my last nerve so quick to where I would just have to switch him off or to another station. I hope he lands another gig soon for his family’s sake but I am very relieved that I will now be able to listen to WSB through the whole day.

Krok’s appeal was to a predominately younger market. But rest easy, fogies. Now that Cain’s getting the 7-10 spot, I’m sure WSB will fill the late-night hours with some kind of syndicated re-run. And you won’t have to worry about Cain planning any rallies or parties. No soundbites. No creative holiday shows. No fun and no fooling around. He’ll just complain about traffic for a little while and the way people drive, and then for the remainder of the show, he’ll focus on national events, just like every other talk show on WSB. I feel for you late-night workers out there; it was nice while it lasted, I guess.

To those who called him KKKrok or said he “didn’t bring Atlanta together.” What’s that nonsense. He called into question the actions or positions of some of our fellow community members. I was amazed he stayed as long as he did given what he was saying but he was a breath of fresh air. He wasn’t racist, he just offered another point of view and one that protective mainstream media never seems to want to address. I’m sad to see his thoughts and views leave Atlanta. I’m not at all sad to see his sophomoric method of delivering that message leave.

Krok is the reason for why I listened to WSB at night! He was energetic and passionate about the local and national issues, not to mention he had a great sense of humor. He opened a lot of our eyes about issues which affect our rights as LEGAL Americans (no amnesty for illegal aliens, and no Teodoro M. in Cobb County Schools), and he cared about those who met with crime and tragedy in their lives (the Cherokee rape victim).

I am sad to see this energetic and enthusiastic mover and shaker leave WSB.

Chris, I wish you, Faye, and the kids the best in your next ‘adventure’. It was a pleasure listening to your show every night and having some laughs and some tears as you discussed issues which needed to be brought to the forefront.

I never could figure out what Kroc was doing on WSB from the get go. I assumed it was a financially frugal waste of late nite time. Very limited talent. I honestly believe I could do better and I’ve never attempted anything close. I think he might could pass as a sort of poor man’s shock jock in a very small market somewhere but the mighty, mighty WSB? Just never made any sense. A career away from the mike might be best.

I am very interested to hear the reasons why for the dismissal. Was it from taking on the establishment, or because of the weird repetitive sound effects in recent months.

When he came on the scene, the vocality and cadence of his delivery was a shock - exactly what was needed in a PM time slot. Most of the commenters above chide Krok for “juvenile antics”. Maybe so, but beneath these antics was a logical mind that wasn’t afraid to call people on the carpet (such as the preacher who tried to align himself with Vick several months ago.).

So Long Krok. I would say that I’ll tune into you in another market……but you topics tend to be very LOCAL in their perspective. Won’t be very exciting for us Atlantans to hear about St Pete, Indy, or wherever you land.

Kris Krock was juvenile in his approach. His demeanor was abrasive, and his looks were less than appealing. He presented no real journalistic talents and I am surprised he lasted as long as he did. He was racist, abusive, brash, taunted his guest and complained constantly about Atlanta. Perhaps he unconsciously wanted to return to Minnesota where he was more comfortable with the ethnic make up of the area. I found him a talentless stand in until the station could find a suitable replacement. Too bad it took them two years to find one.

I agree that Royal or Mark Arum would be a much better replacement than Herman Cain. Royal has come so far; just listen to him sparring with Boortz some days. And Arum is just a funny guy. BTW, didn’t WSB drop Royal’s show just after his roast a couple of years ago. I was no fan of Krok, but to celebrate someone just before sending them packing seems a little sicko - and to do it TWICE?

I’m glad that Krok is out. Although it was refreshing to hear talk about local issues, Krok tended to scream down his callers or simply cut them off if their opinion differed from his…especially on subjects where he was CLEARLY ignorant. Anyway, whatever happened to THE ROYAL TREATMENT? Bring that back! Royal Marshall was up on local issues and delivered them in a great way. He respected his callers and is too good for Neil. Additionally, why not put on a local show between 7-10pm vs Hannity or Savage…besides don’t we have enough angry white men on the air as is? Who wants to hear them drone on about the same issues day after day. They sound like spoiled brats.

I would like to just point out a few reasons why I’m not sad to see Kroc gone. 1) Kroc’s an outsider pretending to know the “A” (2)Rags on Governor Perdue about conserving water. (Duh, we are in a drought) (3)Stated on the air the Gwinnett County High School football player tragically killed deserved to die. Even worse, he tried to justify his stupidity when one of the kids classmate called the station crying. (4)Says Genarlow Wilson should be in prison.(consensual sex, mind you) (5)Wants Vick banned from ever playing in the NFL. (Former Atlanta Thrasher, Heatley killed his teammate. Is Heatley banned, No. Didn’t go to prison either) Animal life more valuable than human? I’m not making excuses for Vick by no means but, come on now. Kroc you need to grow up. I could go on and on, but I’ll just say so long you Kroc of #@#&

WSB is turning into PABLUM. Krok did a great deal to fight ILLEGAL amnesty and started a fire under Chambliss and Issacson. If you get rid of Savage, it’ll be your biggest mistake-he may be abrasive at times, but he reports stories that the milquetoast media avoids. You LEARN from Savage.

ATALIEN,

First off Krok was very much in the favor of getting Genarlow out of prison and spoke out for him several times. Danny Heatley messed up yes, but Vick did as well. And life in and of it’s self is valuable. Quit making excuses for people that are black simply because they are black. If you are going to post something, at least do your research first.

As far as Krok goes, he was different which is what Atlanta needs. I don’t expect to see much else other than the liberal rhetoric of trashing Krok because well…the AJC is one of the most liberal papers around. It’s too bad that Krok spoke his mind….apparently nowadays if you do that it makes you a racist. I still can’t get over the thugs that called his show threatening him with his life when he was speaking out against T.I. and the Jena 6 (Half of whom have committed more crimes since they were “targeted”). Just my two cents. I’ll miss Krok.

Dear Digital, Who’s race baiting here? You are Sir. I only mentioned a few of Kroc’s insensitive comments. These comments were not entertainment in my opinion and obviously his insensitivity and stupidity caught up with him. Two of my comments referred to blacks and two to whites and one to us all as a community. You Sir had to interject race into this which makes you no different than Kroc. The show I heard Kroc speak about Genarlow was negative maybe you and I heard two different shows. Never did I say Vick was right but his punishment sure was not equal to his crime. Yes, I’m black and I voted for and fully support Gov. Perdue. I guess you think all blacks support T.I. I happen to like his music but I also feel what he is accused of doing is very stupid on his behalf. Jenna 6, Kids fighting over a “white tree”, come on. Hey, I took your advice, I did some research. I failed to mention the high school student by name. His name was Daniel Peek, he was the quarterback for Brookwood High. Kroc trashed his name and made insensitive remarks even when a female classmate of Daniel’s called in. R.I.P. Daniel Peek. God bless your family and friends.

ATALIEN,

According to an article on this site Mr. Peek was drunk

http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/gwinnett/stories/2007/05/09/gwx0509peekdied.html

All I can say is at least he didn’t kill someone innocent, which I’m sorry if you drink and drive you aren’t. 20 bucks for a taxi anyone? Call mom and dad to pick you up and take responsibility for your screw up? Nooooooooooo we couldnt do that…..that would be….right….and mature. Instead I’ll get in a car drunk and kill myself and make my family wonder what they did wrong since I’m dead. What Mr. Peek did was selfish, stupid and wrong. God bless his family. As far as him, God has handled that as he is fair and just.

It’s not being insensitive, it’s the truth, which obviously some people have problems with.

And the Jena Six thing wasn’t about a simple fight it was about 6 punks beating a kid unconcious. But hey if that was 6 white kids on a black kid, it would be called a hate crime and Al Sharpton would be on every station saying that the white kids were just picking on a black kid because we are racists. How many times did he say the N word on Hannity’s show? This my friend is Fact.

ATALIEN I appreciate a good debate. Also I attached another link for you about how Krok went after the prosecutor of the Genarlow Wilson case and was trying to help out. If you are going to say something about someone be accuarate, and I will give you yeah I might have jumped the gun on the race thing with you, but we both know for a FACT it is there on both sides.

I’m glad he’s gone. I listen at night, but I found Krok to lack any real insight, or ability to entertain. His show was clumsy. I once heard him make an interesting point, but it was an isolated incident. I used to try to listen, but his insistence that people who didn’t agree with him were stupid became a bore quickly. Good luck to him in his future, but I think WSB can do better…obviously, so do they. My favorite Krok moment was an immigration rally. I remember that he made a big build-up on his show in the days preceding the rally…he couldn’t say what, but he was going to be doing something big—stay tuned. Well, I tuned in to WSB-TV’s news broadcast that evening and happened to see the story covering the rally. They showed the immigrants with candles, etc…then they showed Krok, standing with a megaphone and yelling at the immigrants, threatening to blow out their candles. He stood alone, except for three police cars and officers who were there to protect him (presumably from himself). It was pathetic. On the other hand, I agreed with his stand on Genarlo Wilson’s case, so there’s always a glimmer of light in every cave.
