Holley and Callahan are the only two personalities on EEI who i've ever cared for. Holley has the best Celtics insight out of everyone on both EEI and the Hub and Callahan is the most controversial, probably just beating out Felger. If EEI found a way to put those two together i would actually tune into EEI on occasion.
If you don't like the Toucher and Rich show then you're probably over 40 or without a decent sense of humor. The two certainly have their issues (Toucher admittidly doesn't care for the NBA and is a Jets fan, Rich is kinda clueless) but they combine to make a hilarious and entertaining morning show while still bringing in quality guests and knowledgable sports talk.
Felger and Mazz will continue to be a terrific show and will only get better with time.
I agree with a decent amount here. Toucher and Rich is a very entertaining show. Their funny clips like Ask a Pink Hat absolutely crack me up. That said, I still listen to D&C more. I really can't stand the pompousness of Jerry Callahan, don't care too much for John Dennis either, but somehow they put on a show that definitely keeps me thinking and listening at all times. I generally listen to NPR 48% of the time in the morning, D&C 48% of the time, the Hub very little.
I think Planet Mikey is the best show out there, haha. His absurdity is amazing. His consistency is great too, like how every preseason for every Boston sport, he predicts record-smashing win %'s, will never not mention the word steroids in a sentence that discusses Dwight Howard, will never neglect to mention refs when talking Game 7, etc. He will defend his strong opinions to the death too, but never in a way that is rude or belittling to others. He actually admitted to "pulling picks out of his ___" during the NFL season because "at least I'm original and it's better than just picking who everybody else thinks is going to win."
As for primetime, The Big Show hasn't been getting bad lately - it's always been bad. I'm surprised people listen to Felger and Mazz. Felger's opinions are often outlandish, but unlike Mikey, he actually firmly believes them and will obnoxiously berate anyone who opposes them. Tony Mazz is a good writer, but sounds like such a whiney baby on the air. Radio isn't for him. I can't stand either show so tune into NPR from 2-6 until Mikey comes on.
