Big Changes Coming To Q104

[CleveFan]

Well, as it turns, I saw on OMW's Twitter page that Heather B is leaving for a morning gig in Canada. Best of luck to her and whoever is replacing Heather at Q here in Cleveland.

Called it!

They'll probably move Kory to PMD and have a wekender (Cherise Navidad perhaps) do the evening shift.

Kory has certainly proven he can do it.

But, I remember when Jen Toohey was moved to morning's on Q104, Kory was moved to PM drive, only as a temp until they hired someone new (heatherb).

Any chances the rumored (unhired) host comes in the mix now that Heather is heading out the door?

I have a feeling someone from another market is coming in for a LIVE and LOCAL show, whether afternoons or nights. It seems the whole "automated after 10" rumor isn't really panning out right now.

Katherine Boyd should get the morning slot. She's proven to be a good fit on the morning show. I think she was one of the many who auditioned for the show before Jen got the gig. Better than go though yet another round of auditions. I saw on the Q webpage listeners commenting that a Cleveland native who goes by "Maddie" should get the gig (she was one of the candidates). Of course, "Maddie" never saw the light of day on Q.

So two jocks are leaving Q after this week - one heading to 102, another heading back to Canada. I wonder this is also part of tweaking at Q.

I wonder why they haven't yet taken Heather B's pic off the left side of Q104.com

I think the "Maddie" is our Jenn Ryan from WKDD. She had auditioned at WQAL as "maddie" about the same time she auditioned at WKDD.

She's been off the air as of late: http://www.wkyc.com/video/1393490353001/1/Cleveland-Radio-host-regains-voice-after-unusual-procedure

Wow, cool to know. Thanks Keith!

I do hope Jenn comes back to 'KDD. She'll be back stronger than ever, I just know it.

Kudos to hiring her to the station.

For now at least, here's Q 104's line up:

AMD--Allan Fee and Katherine Boyd (no word on if KB is the permanent co-host, but it seems likely)
Midday--Tim Richards
PMD-- Kory (moving up from evenings)
Evenings--Cherise Navidad (moving up from weekends)

That's temporary unless this schedule works well.

It's probably Katherine's gig to lose on the morning show... unless there is an ultimate rethink of Q.

Cherise also produces some shows on The Fan, so unless there was an internal reorganization in the cluster, I assume it's temporary?

 

[unpwn]

Kory will most likely NOT get afternoons. Popovich has a thing for female drive hosts. Hence Kory getting skipped the first time it was open. Cherise won't have nights permanently, either, or she would have already had a gig. Just saying. I'd look for a new face to take over.

For what it's worth...

The Q morning show is now known as "Fee's Kompany" (yes...with a K) and Katherine Boyd is in all the new publicity photos on the WQAL website for the show.

So I assume this means this will be the full time set-up.

If they want to make me happy with a big change, then dump that god-awful Perez Hilton "countdown" show on Sunday night and either bring back "Randy Jackson's Hit List" (if available), or find something else. Anything would be better then that non-pro who does things like re-stating a segment immediately after the produced intro played...ANNOUNCER: "Here is your break up of the week". HILTON: "Here is your break up of the week...". I put "countdown" in parentheses because he often doesn't mention what the songs are, and just blows right through him to get to his next infotainment piece. I never thought I'd say this, but I've found a Hilton worse then Paris.

Just saw on All Access that Katherine Boyd is now the official new co-host on Fee's Kompany, the newly named morning show on Q. She fits in well, so congrats to her. I still remember when she was on Channel 5 and later Channel 3.
