Topic: Did Rollye James quit radio for good?

[999]

Went to check her site and it is down....

[Frys Girl]

Damn it! If this is true, radio is truly finished.

i loved her show, but didn't care too much for the friday night trivia.  i also thought she was the best of all of the c2c fill in hosts.

Possibly due to the power issues in California.  I'd check again when the grid is back online, hopefully soon.  Even Microsoft was having some email issues with their live.com and hotmail.com domains.

Same here! However, I think she needed a break from the politics. It is what keeps her from going nuts like most hosts. I always learned a lot from those shows though.

[Treading Water]

Looks like she and Clear Channel had a parting of the ways in April of 2011.  She's not currently listed in any XM Radio searches.  I couldn't find her online show either.  I feel bad that I haven't paid attention this year and she slipped away. 

I hope it's temporary.  Maybe she'll come back somewhere else.  Oooo, maybe she and Art can alternate 12-hour shifts..............   Hmm, who's going to take weekends???

Yeah, saw the same thing just now.  I know the stuff in San Diego was causing a lot of silly errors all over the country, and was hoping this was just a glitch.  If the online show is gone too, hopefully it is just your standard NCA, and not some serious issue in her life.

"I'll probably have something to say around the end of the year."
via email.
Hope she does another radio show.

George Noory is (attempting) copying Rollye James' trivia night.... of course he is giving out stupid crappy books that he doesn't bother to read for the guest authors.


I hate George Noory! I wish Rollye James could come back to radio tonight!

we recently interviewed Rollye on my podcast which you can hear here.  it was a real treat to have her on.

[blackshap9]

listening to rollyee james interview right now...great podcast...very good show..i just joined coastgab to complain about c2cam and how it sucks now and how sad that the guest tonight is from above top secret (a well known disinformation website).

[The General]

It was an awesome interview.  Really insider back room radio stuff.

LOL ... Microsoft experiences technical difficulties and somehow this is surprising?

Thanks.

Who is "Rollye James"? And, were the parents on Crack when they named a human-child "Rollye"?

Wow. You're a load of pleasantness and joy.

My brother-in-law won the Rollye James trivia thing once. He got some cool stuff. I've never listened to her, and I never got around to reading her diatribe on the radio industry. Hopefully she gets into that in MV's podcast.

I've heard of a young girl named "Trojanera".  Not the best product endorsement.

[Sardondi]

...i also thought (Rollye) was the best of all of the c2c fill in hosts.

She was my choice as well. In fact, she'd probably be my choice to wear The One Ring That Rules Them All and take over the chair from the current pretender who now sits there. Even ahead of George Knapp or Ian.

Probably no more so than anyone who might claim, say, "Sardondi" or "Ruteger" as a handle: the reasons might not always be apparent. After all, it's just a matter of personal preference.

This might have significance only for those old enough to remember the events surrounding the JFK assassination and funeral; but I remember having run across a woman with the first and middle name of "Rotunda Cathedra". And of course her birthday was in late November 1963.

Mine too. The aw, shucks trucker jive wore a little, but she's smart, funny and an excellent interviewer.

I once knew a family named Barr who named their two kids Clark and Candy, and the founder of the Lear airplane company named his daughter Crystal Shanda. No accounting for lame senses of humor.

Same with me where the Kane family had two daughters..I am not kidding...named Sugar and Kandi. In Texas in around 1890, Governor Hogg had a daughter he named "Ima", who became a very well known social figure and art collector.

Long long ago (1970's) in a cold Maine town way up yonder - the girls in my dorm would get very bored.  We used to look for funny names in the phone book.  The all time winner was - and AFAIK still is Ophelia Cockburn.

[Unquenchable Angst]

I worked in a hospital in the early 90's and was sent to the nursery to do a PKU on a baby named Armagedon. My mind always pictured that he would grow up to be like the biker dude in "Raising Arizona".Kid should be in his 20's now.

Had a realtor named - I am not kidding - Richard Head. No other name or initial. He later expanded to financial advice/investing services, and he's actually been quite successful. He made sure he never used "Dick", although his name has probably worked to his advantage through sheer memorability. I never figured out if his parents were cruel, naive or asleep at the wheel.

[ChewMouse]

There's a State Farm Insurance agent around these parts named "Chip Munk". He's actually used it to his advantage over the years...cute stuff.

Reminds me of a supervisor in college: Dr. Gay Leathers (real first name: Ellen).  No joke.
