Just read that former Long Winter Sean Nelson will be hosting the morning radio show “The Morning End” on Seattle radio station 107.7 The End next week, March 23-27.
Say what you will about The End and their merry-go-round of host and format changes over the years, but I think bringing in a local musician to host the show is a good idea. From listening to his Audioasis appearances on KEXP and his guest appearances on The End through the years, I think it’s a good “get” for them. Sean’s good at the radio thing, and he brings a singular wit that assumes intelligence in the listener so often lacking from the morning drive radio shift.
Eddie Spaghetti from the Super Suckers hosted this week, and there’s no indication yet of who will host the week after Sean. Seems like the station is trying to guage response, so if you like the show and you want to hear more of it with Sean at the helm, a call or an e-mail is a good idea.
so what happened to this? do they still hve different hosts every week?
I haven’t been listening regularly after Sean stopped hosting, so I’m not sure what their plans are.
They still have ads talking about their “search for the next great morning end”, so if they had settled on someone I think those ads would be different.
Personally, I think a JRod or Sean/John morning show was a missed opportunity on their part. Too bad.
