Your A-List: Best Radio Morning Show
Let the war of words begin. We have a winner. But we also have a very close contender for Best Radio Morning Show.
Before going into the details, we should note that tens of thousands of you expressed your opinions, and that the contest was engaged over the air, with Bobby Bones openly lobbying his fans, while other jocks in town urged their listeners to vote for Snoop Daniel against themselves — in order to block the popular Bones.
We do love a good fight. Snoop at Beat 104.9 won (45 percent), narrowly nipping the highly rated Bones on KISS-FM (43 percent).
Here’s the skinny on Snoop from the Beat’s Web site: “After stints with ‘The Kidd Kraddick Morning Show’ in Dallas, and with 101X and 1300 the Zone in Austin, Snoop finally has a hip-hop home. One-man morning shows are hard to find, but he juggles his ‘reality radio’ with energy and true chemistry with the listeners.”
Way down the list, Mix 94.7’s “J.B. and Sandy Morning Show” copped 6 percent. Everyone else — to this observer’s profound surprise — came in under 1 percent.
That includes, in descending order, 101X’s “The Morning X,” KLBJ’s “Dudley & Bob Morning Show,” Hot 93.3’s “Boogie & Mimi,” KVET’s venerable “Sam and Bob Call-in Show,” KUT’s “Morning Edition,” The Zone’s “Bucky and Erin,” The River 102.3’s “Family Friendly Mornings, KGSR’s “KGSR in the Morning,” Jammin’ 105.9’s “Kidd Kraddick in the Morning,” KASE’s “KASE Morning Crew,” La Ley’s “El Chulo y La Bola,” NewsRadio 590’s “Austin’s Morning News,” BOB-FM, 57 La Que Buena’s “El Piolin,” Majic 95.5’s “Majic in the Morning with Kim and Alex,” KMFA and KOOP’s “The Lounge Show.”
Listen to the radio this morning, folks. See what’s said and let us know. And don’t forget there will be a rematch in April when we poll for Best DJ. We enjoy Snoop and Bones both, and look forward to next time.

I got love for Snoop, he does his thing and "that's what's up" haha.
I like the BB show but they act stuck up and ignorant at times. LB is the worst DJ in Austin. They've put a child on the radio.

AKB... Its SAD THAT YOU PUT DOWN BOBBY BONES Who TRied TO WIN. Go youtube.com type in search Bobby Bones. and guess who pops JB and Sandy Morning Show Videos. Sad they have to Use Bobby Bones name to get Viewers to watch there youtube videos. I am pretty sure Bobby Bones Show listerns didn't call your house or didn't even think twice about JB and Sandy. When Most Mornings Didn't want to see The Bobby Bones Show win another award. And yeah JB And Sandy Morning Show been on 13 years and have never Been Top 4 Morning Shows in Texas... Sad Sad.....

Sorry but soliciting votes on the air and especially by PHONE MESSAGE is absolutely insane. I have received messages on my home number from Bobby Bones every single time that one of these contests run. I didn't really have a problem with their show before, but now there is NO WAY that I will listen to someone who is willing to stoop that low for votes for contests. That doesn't really reflect true listeners in my opinion.
Thanks for listening!
An "almost" 13 year loyal JB and Sandy fan

So I dont know who Snoop is, big deal. Bobby bones did not deserve to win anything, he doesn't even deserve to be on the air. He and Amy both suck and should not be allowed to speak. BTW- JB and Sandy Rock and I am 23 years old. Bobby you arrogant jerk, get over yourself, you are ugly and annoying.

I know this morning show is very unpopular, but I LOVE Boogie and Mimi. I listen to them every morning and so does everyone at my work. I wish they would have mentioned this thing so we would have known about it. Snoop won? I guess there was a lot of 45 year old black men voting. I don't know anyone who likes that show.

I'm just glad BJ and Handy NOR Dudley and Bob won. I never listen to 104.3 in the morning, but I might check him out now. 101X would have my vote if they'd play better music. Lately the play list has really tanked. I don't know what's going on.

Look at Austin, Texas Radio. Well Like Snoop would Say They did Bobby Nasty. Look It took all Radio DJ To Support Snoop to Bring Bobby Bones Down. Only by 2 % only lost. Seem like They Tie Bobby Hands behind his back and Austin DJ Took Shots at Bobby.

I like both shows, but after the way Bobby acted, I think he's a sore loser. Both shows are really good. Why bash either or be a bad sport?! So now I think Snoop is the bigger man! Congrats Snoop! We know you're not a cheater!!!

Snoop and BB should just have a healthy celebrity boxing match
to claim the title... This would really make the ratings sky rocket. My money is on BB you have to go for the under dog. Heck even Lunch Box should join in.

Come on Ausitn, Texas. The Bobby Bones is maybe The Most Successful Morning Show in The History of Austin Radio. Why Knock Something down that is doing good. Ok The Drama Between The Two Shows is between The Two Shows. Listerns Listen in. There no Reason to bash Snoop or The Bobby Bones Show. Lets Make Austin The Best Place to be listen to The Radio Because so many good Radio Shows on. Austin Is The Music Capital of The World there no Reason why IT CAN'T BE THE Radio Capital of The World.

Arbitron has for some time ranked KHFIs morning show way ahead of The Beat. That being said, I think it's certainly a feather in both of these young DJs cap that they are whipping up on some of the older more tired morning shows on other stations.
Hopefully this will spur a youth movement of sorts on the airwaves because most of the morning shows are toothless and out of touch with most listeners.

CONGRATS TO SNOOP! Im proud to be a listener of the BEST MORNING SHOW in Austin radio! SNOOP, Don't pay Bubble Boy any mind. He's just bitter becuase you're the one man band MAN! I think it's DAMN FUNNY how after BB went on air and openly BITCHED about how he was LOSING, then His "LOYAL LISTENERS" started voting for SNOOP! NOONE LIKES A SORE LOSER. BB, Take it like a man and Take your place as the first LOSER. CONGRATS AGAIN SNOOP! We have spoken and we LOVE you!

There's a bunch of hating going on. If you aren't into hip hop, of course you've never heard of Snoop. Bones has more exposure because he's on a diverse radio station and has a television show. Snoop Daniel is number one in the hood. Congrats, Snoop. This is what you needed to break through. Check his show out.

Bobby and Snoop do a similar show. Tons of news, entertainment, and audio clips. Bones talks alot, Snoop jokes and plays music. That being said, Bobby's show is more about him and less about being funny. Snoop, visa versa. I like them both.

love the show or hate the show, The Bobby Bones Show is the highest rated all around show in town. Snoop doesnt make the top 15. And trust me... I know. I do sales for a radio station that competes with them both.

I honestly think that the Bobby Bones Show should have won! I don't think anyone even knows who this Snoop Daniels guy is. Keep your radio tuned to the Bobby Bones Show, we all know that's the number 1 morning radio show! Keep up the good work Bobby, Lunchbox, Carlos and Amy...

Snoop is the man! He is the most down-to-earth guy out there and doesn't let things like this go to his head. (I know this after working with him for a year.) He does a kick a*s job on his morning show, and note....Snoop does this all on his own and people love him. He keeps you up-to-date with everything that matters. Oh, and for the record, Snoop has been on longer than a couple of months. Whenever the BEAT was on 104.3, Snoop was there doing his magic. Congrats Snoop!!!

I use to be a big fan of the Bones show. But lately it is nothing but stupid games that get very old to us in the car on the way to work that have nothing to do with the games and cant see what is often being described.
Snoop's show is taking over and his connection with the listeners about various topics is why we listen.
Out with the old in with the new. Isnt that the way radio goes anyway.

As a long time (2 years) listener of the Bobby Bones show, let me say I think the Bobby Bones show is good, but...in the past few months I started listening to Snoop Daniel and I find myself turning to 104.9 every morning on the way to work. I think Snoop should be proud of a well deserved HONEST win. Do your thang Snoop!!!

The Bobby Bones Show Stinks! His crew stinks (except for Lunch who is funny as all heck), his jokes stink, his bits stink, and his ego is way off the charts. He tries to come off as modest but really he is obsessed with himself. Don't fool yourself Austin, BB would ditch this city in a heartbeat if he knew he could "be famous" or make more money elsewhere. BB BLOWS!
