A lot of people think 1090 is just the frequency of WBAL AM but it is actually the amount of IQ points you loose when listening to KK, Torey Snow, or C4.

WBAL used to be a fine station with great hosts (Ron Smith, Allen Prell). IMO, C4 is the only one left there who is remotely listenable.

Maybe for about 15 seconds. I don't think I have ever heard him make a single insightful statement.

C4 says good things for 2 minutes and then trash the other 58. I love how much history he knows and how much knowledge he has of the city and its happenings. But he funnels it all through his garbage filter and out come some of the dumbest things you could say. I get where he’s coming from and he seems like the type of person who could be swayed back to normalcy with some extended time with the folks he disparages, but mostly I just smh at him when I hear him.

Honestly I think he understands and plays that role on purpose. There’s a particular audience they need to hold onto unless they want to finally admit they need to pivot to more of a center lean or dare I say center left to grow their audience. C4 is an even minded person imo and he brings that historical calmness you need.

My only faults is he’s not as good as he thinks he is on fiscal issues and sometimes I feel like he pulls back and plays dumb to not offend that northeast/eastern shore crowd.

I thought I was the only one who thought this of Torrey. He strikes me as someone who thinks he’s always the smartest guy in the room. Often times he is very blinded by his ultra conservative, Christian tendencies.
