Tracey Jones, come on down!

Don't expect much to change. WLWs next PD could be a trained monkey, and it would still be #1 in Cincinnati.

For Parks, is this a move up, down or sideways? Who is the lucky person he's replacing, and were they part of the jolly annual November downsizing? Any chance Randy Michaels will return to the Big 1?

It's a move up. common sense.

In the short run, yes. Long term? 50/50 IMHO. How many Cincy people went to Chicago thinking it was a move up?

Darryl is a great radio mind. He's handled the difficult position of being the glue between CC management and superstar talent quite well. If he relinquishes his weekend talk show Cincinnati radio will be the poorer. I've never worked directly with him but we've had some "radio interaction" and he's always been very professional. And who else could have turned a goofy Cincinnati bus driver into a mega-star? ;D Best wishes to a class act as he climbs the corporate ladder. Hey Sensible Don, hold that ladder steady for Brother Darryl, okay?
