| Helen Glover |
Helen Glover, morning talk-show host on CCM+E’s N/T WHJJ 920AM has been let go following her show Tuesday.
According to providencejournal.com, Glover said her
replacement will be local talk radio veteran Ron St. Pierre
WHJJ executives confirmed Glover's departure but declined to
comment on St. Pierre .
Glover, a Portsmouth
resident who was a 2002 finalist on the reality show "Survivor," was
approaching her eighth anniversary on the air.
Bad move I have tried listening to Ron but he is far from interesting. Sad day when you let Helen go. I will not be listening to HJJ in the early morning, Imus here I come. Management should listen to the public on what we want to hear. Not the people in the mayor's office.
ReplyDeleteI too miss Helen. Trying to get through the morning listening to Ron is torture. His issues are weak, and no vitality or energy like Helen had. This guy is just plain slow and boring! I'm going elsewhere as well.....
ReplyDeleteHelen Glover was the reason I listened to your show in the morning.She was not afraid to say what was on her mind, and I found her to be very informative.You have made a terrible mistake in letting her go. Helen's replacement is very wishy-washy and boring, and we won't be listening to him. Whoever made this call should be fired and your company has shown how far removed you are from your listening audience.
ReplyDeleteThis Ron guy is so safe and middle of the road. Boring! What a waste of time listening to him. This guy shoild do traffic reports at most. Helen was much more interesting. I like Jon DiPetro better. He isn't afraid to challenge authority and isn't politically correct. Come on get someone with some balls.
ReplyDeleteI like Ron St.Pierre he is very professional, more than competent at running a station as he has shown in the past and a skilled moderator. He FAILS AS A REPLACEMNT FOR MRS, GLOVER! She is a unique personality and had already won five awards for the best talk show and was on her way to winning number six! 920 WHJJ has lost many loyal listeners. 920 WHJJ now has eldery women telling Ron that they like him much better than the one that was on before. He diplomatically cut her off saying that he didn't want to go there. This where 920 WHJJ has gone, they will need to explain to their sponsors that the listening base they had is gone. The sponsors will wonder why sales have dropped off. It is simple, people who are elderly won't be interested in the same products and services as those who are commuting to work. How many contracts would one expect a certain water filter company to install in eldrly housing units? Or siding on a particular unit in elderly housing? Good Luck Clear Channel! JAD should just about explain it!
ReplyDeleteVery bad move WHJJ. I gave Ron a shot...not even close to Glover's show. You just lost me as a morning listener.
ReplyDeleteVery bad move WHJJ!! I gave Ron a shot....boring show, not even close to Helen's show. You just lost me as a morning listener.
ReplyDeleteHelen was the only reason I listened to WHJJ. Ron is very boring. Who ever made the decision to let her go should be fired. Bye WHJJ...
ReplyDeleteRon is boring, I won't be listening to WHJJ any longer. Best to you Helen Glover.
ReplyDeletei'm out, Ron's a liberal....who's next at 920 ?
ReplyDeletewhat happened to helen glover in the mornings? this new show is not worth listening too. no more early morning radio for me.
ReplyDeleteRemoving Helen and replacing her with Ron was a bad move on the part of WHJJ management. Her program is the only AM radio program that I listen to. There is never a dull moment and she tells it like it is, and that is what the listeners want. Sorry that I will be listening to other stations in the future
ReplyDeleteI MISS HELEN! BRING HER BACK! RON IS BORING
ReplyDeleteI agree this fellow is boring. The show is very bland. It lacks substance I am looking at other radio stations to listen to/
ReplyDeleteif HJJ made this change in order to compete with PRO it was a great move. Now both stations are so vanilla, I can't listen to either one. Gene Vallacenti is a little more interesting than Ron, but he won't say anything to jeapordize his real job. Ron seams like a nice guy, but it's like listening to Mr. rogers neighborhood. Sooooo boring. The real winner is Cat country because after 9 years of talk radio, I went back to music in the morning.
ReplyDeleteBring Helen Glover back. I truely miss listening to her in the mornings. She was a great host that kept my interest. Her replacement, finds me turning off the morning radio show. She is the best!
ReplyDeleteHelen was the only voice worth listening to so eaely in the morning. Considering what we've been left with, I rather listen to Coast to Coast AM for local issues. Buh-Bye HJJ.
ReplyDeleteI thought Helen was ill and Ron was filling in. Makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteHelen has both spine and common sense...management at whjj must not value those things anymore...All of us still do and always will = droves of listeners lost, you spineless fools.
ReplyDeleteI miss Helen, went back to listening to oldies on Sirius.
ReplyDeleteLove Helen! Used to hate when Ron filled in for Buddy, so needless to say, won't be listening to him on HJJ either!!
ReplyDeleteAdvice to HJJ your decision to remove Helen is well, for lack of a better term stupid. Do yourself a favor in Janruary and get rid of Hannity at 3pm. Talk about repetitive and replace him with Savage who will move to that time slot
ReplyDeleteHJJ, I agree with every other post on this site. Ron is so boring I cannot listen. Removing Helen was a terrible move. I, however, will not be just moving to another Providence music station, I now need to go to the Boston market to listen to a morning show. Goodbye Helen We all love you!
ReplyDeleteShe was the BEST you had! So disgusting.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe my ears when I tuned in recently after being away on leave only to find that Helen was not on the air. I thought I had the wrong station. Listening to Ron is like eating lettuce compared to eating a gourmet meal!!! I would like to know the real reason she was let go. Maybe she was canned because she told the TRUTH! Ron is boring and presents the same old crap that is getting this nation into trouble. I think the station needs to rethink its ideaology. Maybe the muslims have infiltrated WHJJ --you can be sure there is a hidden agenda here. I will never tune in during Helen Glover's time slot again. Ron needs to go ---bring Helen back for the good of RI and the nation.
ReplyDeleteYou just lost another listener in the morning! Ron cannot hold a candle to Helen. The station made a big mistake --bring Helen back please. Ron is totally boring and adds nothing to the political dialogue.. At least Helen voiced the facts and represented a huge faction of Rhode Islanders who want to hear something other than the usual propaganda and deception and distortion put out by most media in our nation.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason I tuned to 920 in the morning was because of Helen Glover. Internet streaming in the morning, Here I am!
ReplyDeleteWHJJ, I don't understand WHY you let Helen Glover go!! Really bad move. Ron seems like a nice guy but I can't listen to him for more than 5 minutes. Could listen to Helen all day long! Best wishes to Helen! This is WHJJ's great loss!
ReplyDeleteHJJ is a joke. Helen was the only reason I listen to the station. Liberals can't stand conservatives speaking the truth!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Ron is dull. I switched to Blaze Radio. Only listen to Rush on WHJJ but frankly, I can listen to him anywhere so I don't imagine I'll be listening to WHJJ much longer.
ReplyDeleteI have not listened to HJJ since the departure of Helen. Thanks to iHeart Radio I can hear Rush and Levin on other stations. Wade...
ReplyDeleteI tried to be fair to both Ron and WHJJ and listened to the show for three months before passing on my opinion. Sadly I couldn't last the full ninety days; I just find Helen's talent and style far more appealing. Helen's show was wonderfully fresh and prescient, qualities that no longer exist. Like a 1979 Buick, Ron has seen better days and honestly his shows are boring. I'm really not interested in obscure references from the 1950's, 60's and 70's as I'm a younger (30) listener and I have no idea what he's talking about. I must assume that WHJJ isn't interested in its younger listener demographic any longer. Like the person above, I just listen to another station that carries a host I like.
ReplyDeleteThey're not interested in an older Conservative demographic either! I'm glad to see that so many people miss Helen! Well, everyone but the crooked politicians, that is!
ReplyDeleteEven after all this time, i still can't believe that someone thought that having Ron take Helen's spot was a good move. I didn't always agree with Helen, but she certainly knew how to keep one's interest. I never listen to WHJJ anymore. Ron seems like a nice person, but he should be on late at night because, honestly, the man is a human sleeping pill.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Ron is clearly a competent journalist, he is no Helen Glover. The passionate presentation of the days issues and listener participation made for a morning drive spent thinking about how to improve our state. In contrast, it's now another news discussion with the occasional golocal guest spot. It's just not as stirring. I hope Helen lands another spot on the dial soon!
ReplyDeleteRon is BLAH! BLAH! BLAH! No engagement with the audience, no more educating listeners about the issues, the station panders to the status quo, no wonder Helen is out. You lost me as a listener.
ReplyDeleteMeant to leave the station my message much earlier. But here it is in the new year of 2014. Very bad decision to replace Helen with Ron. Helen was not only one of the most informative talk show hosts in the marketplace, bu she was the voice of the people and was not afraid to speak her mind particularly about the dysfunction of RI government and politics. You station folks simply don't get it. But ratings will shortly show how bad your decision was. Very bad business and PR decision on your part. And all my best to Helen in 2014. She deserves to be syndicated in multiple national markets. That's how talented she is!! Add me to your long list of former listeners.
ReplyDeleteAnyone know where I can go to see what I'm assuming will be the declining rating status of this station?
ReplyDeleteBring back Helen!
ReplyDeleteBring back Helen Glover!
ReplyDeleteWe miss Helen as much as ever. She was a true jewel for RI I only hope RI keeps her and she comes up on another station. 920's loss will be another media's gain, Still keeping you in prayer Helen, you are courageous H & S Warwick
ReplyDeleteYes! Helen Glover, a true diamond in the rough of RI goings on. We need you back on the air Helen Glover!!!!
Deletei used to listen Helen every morning even i was going vacation i was listening her. i was calling at least twice a week as 'Ronnie from warwick" and expressing my opinion on air. The new guy is so boring, that switched to 630 am. Bring Helen back i will start listening 920 am again
ReplyDeleteThis is Governor Chaffee. Just want to say I love the new format. Ron is so interesting and really gets my juices going. He is so exciting to listen to and is much better than that icky Helen Glover. Perhaps you should replace the man at 12 with a broom and the one at 3 with a spoon! Riviting!
ReplyDeleteCLASSIC!
Deletewhat are you smoking governor?
DeleteWhat happened to Helen
ReplyDeleteNow i listen Depedro on wpro are you happy 920 am managment? Dont you relise your rating went down so bring Helen back

ReplyDeleteGet rid of the Liberal, boring, repetitious St. Pierre! What's he doing on the same station as Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh? Bring Helen back!!!
