Change at Cumulus'WFTW 1260 Programming

S

stonecold49

Anybody know what is going on at Newstalk 1260 lately? I know they dropped their Atlanta buddies CNN news for their own ABC News top of hour, but I noticed they dropped Neal Boortz in favor of Mike Hucabee in
late afternoon and also dropped Michael Savage for John Bathelor (from their newly acquired sister WABC NY formerly owned by Citadel which Cumulus bought in the last year). I guess they're satisfied with just Rush and Hannity to carry forward the conservative political talk unless they've
given up on Romney to oust Obama.

P.S. Also noticed recently on the Chicago thread that Cumulus is doing
everything they can to oust Dick Biondi from WLS-FM since they acquired
that station in the Citadel deal
 
No, I did not see anything about CNN News dropping their radio format.
I don't read any trades and certainly not any newspaper stories since the
internet has just about everything. Big switches at Cumulus in P'Cola as
well now with the Q100 or 100.7 going talk. What about Panama City,
Charlie? I did see on radio-info. com that Clear Channel has done some
"Spring Cleaning" giving some of their stations in medium/large markets
the "pink slip" for PD's, news directors, etc. I'm sure this is just the "tip
of the iceberg" as the beginning of the end for all markets, "put it on the
bird", run jOHN TESH" (nah!)in all markets regardless of overlap then the
general public will finally wake up and notice their local station is no longer "LOCAL". I already switched to SiriusXM!
