Probably be voice tracked or maybe Jackson Blue will slide in......
After some deep and despicable cuts (even for old school radio standards) on Beasley's part, so happy they're giving a historical Boston radio talent a retirement month.
They blew out their morning show today. They never replaced Jackson Blue. They are not replacing Carolyn Kruse.
It's not looking good for the format.

morning show is already gone from the website
Yea, only Kruser's name is listed and she's leaving next Wednesday. Ben Beaulieu has been holding down afternoon drive since May but he's strictly a fill-in. Something is going down next week but no one is talking.
The return of Jackson Blue!!! Or a format change or more VT garbage from Big $$ corporate
With the syndication of 96.9's morning show, do we think the Tuesday after Labor Day will introduce a full on-air lineup from other Beasley Country stations? (I only know of 99.5 in Tampa, but I didn't do any research)
I believe at that point you'll need a hand and a finger to count the total number of full-time music airstaff left in that building.

Weir has been shafted by that station twice now. It's "the business" but still sad, he puts on a solid and funny show.
The format? Radio companies are going autopilot or voice tracked on music stations that are performing well in the Nielsens because advertising isn't strong enough to produce a high enough profit margin to please Wall Street. 'KLB is off its peak numbers, but is still strong in a lukewarm country market. Its format isn't going anywhere.
the morning show from philly will air in vegas and boston according to radioinsight
Cue people complaining that mornings aren't local even though that's the way television and indeed, radio in most other countries work.
Nobody cares that Jimmy Fallon isn't broadcasting from WBTS.
Why wait until Labor Day? Philly's Andie Summers Show debuts on Monday in mornings. And yes, this is what Beasley is doing companywide.

Thus KLB joins the ranks of CW stations that are syndicated in AMD, like the Bull with Bobby Bones
Irony that WBOQ had a "keep it local" slogan--but now is all syndicated K Love.

Ownership changes render previous owners' slogans irrelevant. Besides, didn't 'BOQ run jockless for long stretches outside morning and evening drive? Surely they weren't staffing overnights, were they?
the further irony in your statement and lack of knowledge is that for awhile in the tail end, it was using syndicated Westwood one jocks outside of am drive
Right of course, just saying that was what happened to a station that accepted local.. and yes, syndie in several slots but they had AMD etc
Spesking of WBOQ, Bob, did you see their Enon St studios/office were torn out and now being made into apt.s? 😱
