ALL ACCESS has learned that more exits from the cluster may be coming later today. Stay tuned.

CLEAR CHANNEL/MIAMI Pres./GM GEORGE TOULAS has promoted Classic Rocker WBGG (BIG 106) & Smooth Jazz WLVE (LOVE 94) PD RICH McMILLAN to OM/Adult Brands. He will oversee WBGG, WLVE, News WIOD-A, and Talker WINZ-A.

I'm not suprised at all. It's Clear Channel's way of sayin` "Thanks for stoppin by" :-\

I worked with Mike and Al when they were with WINZ-AM during the early to mid 80's and I was at WINZ-FM (I-95) under the Guy Gannett era. I started at I-95 in March, 1981 and they both were already at the station for quite a while. I wish them both the best, they're 2 great people.
 
I'm guessing they've dumped the higher paid employees and will replace some (but not all) with new people at lower pay.

Question: I was looking at the WJNO site (a CC station) and noticed that the host listed for their "Palm Beaches Morning Report (5-9AM)" is ONLY Jon Howe. Didn't he have a co-host (a woman) and what happened to her?

That would have been Pam Crosby. She left to run the news department of Metro in Baltimore..lucky them..she's terrific.

According to their web site, looks like even with these "reductions," WIOD still has a news department with over 10 people. In 2006 radio terms, that's pretty good sized.
 
looks like six IOD people in all. al is gone, as you mentioned, but so is wayne roustan. so no street reporters. they've apparently replaced brian freeman with dave lamont to host the morning show. isn't he the sports director? or wasn't he? and thanks for pointing me toward the website. what happened to the morning editor? strange happenings, but not surprising. i'm guessing cc is saving close to a half-million in salary.
