Where did Dave Hooker go?

[rk4435]

I know many may know him from the Knoxville market, but he has been on the air here in Chattanooga for about 2.5 years until a couple of weeks ago on WGOW. He usually had good somewhat insider info and also had a good line up of well known callers on the program.

Anyone have a clue?

The less Dave Hooker, the better.

I know many dislike him, but he had contacts that gave us Nooga Vols better info. I check out WMNL when I can, but it's not as often as I would like.

Alex, I will take back to middle school for $500.

Wow, he really must be hated in K-ville.

He is a big John Adams fan. I did enjoy the guests he had on air.

He was writing for SDS until very recently. He's no longer listed there. Must have r.u.n.n.o.f.t.

 

[munsterlander]

Maybe his 20 questions post or whatever it was called did him in. That was really bad.

Hopefully my warning everyone on their Facebook page of his click bait articles, helped drive him away.

No idea. I quit listening to WGOW. SportTalk was okay at first with him but then got annoying. Then the rest of their shows were just too political. I just quit listening all together and haven’t noticed anything different.

 

[Jackcrevol]

not here.

 

[AngryButchJones]

Thankfully, not in the state of TN anymore it seems.

I didn’t think he was that bad...

He's still doing saturdaydownsouth articles mostly about Tennessee. EDIT: He isn't listed on that staff either.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

He replaced John Gruden on Monday Night Football.

 

[VolsnRavens]

Maybe he went were the rest of the retired hookers go. Florida...

I figured he was just on vacation or something. I'd love the show to be just Quake and Joe. Had to turn it off half the time when DH was on.

I miss Dr. B. The show just hasnt been the same since he passed away.

Love him or hate him, I would still like to know why he left and where he went.

I used to listen to ST often. But, man it's 90% commercials, then heavy metal segways to the talk, then a lot of filler on air. Hard to replace Gary Haskew. But, I've always liked the main guys.

But like you say, if the dial is left there, the next day you'll be hearing JR and other weed heads pontificate correct "politics" to us all.

I have a 15-20 minute commute from work in the afternoons, depending on traffic. If I tune into to ST I'm lucky if I get 5 minutes of actual show. The rest are commercials.

Yep. But I'd still rather listen to the commercials than listen to Packer on XM. His voice drives me bananas, not sure why.

Looks like he may be working for ESPN now.
