Neil Rogers on Zeta - 1988 Channel 7 "Live at Five" Profile

A decidedly unflattering portrait of Neil was painted in this WSVN "Live at Five" profile (they couldn't interview a single fan?), which was part of a weeklong series focusing on morning radio in South Florida. I post it here because it allows a rare glimpse into the WZTA / Zeta-4 era of the show with Neil and his sidekick Glen "The Bird" Hill.

I was one of the occasional listeners who tried to listen, but I just didnt "get it." he wasnt funny. to me, he was a miserable pr--ck! some callers he had a civil discussion with. other callers he seemed to pick at random to give sarcastic comments and then hang up on them. not a civil "whats your point. my point is,.... your wrong because..... you're right with regard to.... ...." I didnt like the guy. and to hear that his demeanor off the show was humble and quiet:really?

The woman on the left in the opening is Denise White, who'd go on to work at WTVT Channel 13, a CBS station prior to late 1994 and a FOX station afterward here in the Tampa-St. Pete market.
