Syndicated morning show Bob and Tom are no longer part of the programming lineup at Clear Channel Classic Hits station 105.9 The River (KRVO). Effective Monday Aug. 8th, the station now airs music all morning, along with imagers that state they apologize for airing a talk morning show, and that music should play during the morning. Traffic reports voiced by longtime Portland radio personality Valerie Ring still air mornings.
This is the 2nd time in as many formats in 105.9's short 4 year on-air history a syndicated talk morning show was replaced by 'music in the morning' - Modern AC Star 105.9 dropped Jamie & Danny on March 1, 2002, in favor of a morning show hosted by PD Michael Storm, MD Larry Thompson, with Marie Dodds handling news/traffic.
The station changed formats soon after on June 20, 2002 at 12 Noon, stunting as "Quick 106." The current "River" Classic Hits format started June 25, 2002 at 5 PM. I later learned the decision to change formats from Modern AC to Classic Hits came before the syndicated morning show was dropped.<P ID="signature">______________
