Chris Merill leaves KTAR, Outspoken with Bruce & Gaydos new time slot & extra hour, & return of Arizona's Evening News
- Thread starter NYAZSporty
- Start date
A one hour evening news block other than on 24/7 all-news stations? I thought that went out with Lowell Thomas, 50 years ago.
Meanwhile, Bonneville still can't quit the rice & beans. The #1 complaint I hear about this station: Why is beans & rice still on the schedule?
Nobody listens to 92.3 for the news. If they do listen to any station for news, they listen to 91.5 (either on NPR or scant local programming.)

Nurse Jeff will be gathering petitions to remove Rice & Beans from the daytime lineup. And of course, you may sign as many times as. you'd like. Just look for the '76 Gremlin & the Nurse when you're visiting Buckeye.
True dat. The hour of news at 6pm is just a filler til they figure out a long term strategery.
ICYW, Chris Merill will be hosting middays on KFI in Los Angeles starting Monday from 12-3 with Michael Monks. KFI Sets Lineup Revamp With Addition of Monks & Merrill In Middays
Sounds like a promotion for Merrill.
Let's see, going from KTAR to KFI in the #2 market, yes, I'd say that's a step up! š
I wonder if he'll be doing the show from Phoenix?
It certainly is a step up. Originally, the rumor was he'd fill the evening slot left by Mo Kelly just before Coast-to-Coast AM, but doing middays is better. The way he sounded announcing his depature on KTAR stating it was a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity", I think he'd take the 5-6 hour drive or 1-hour flight & move to Southern California.
Yes, but is it really? No offense, I wish him well but that is still one of the most overused cliches ever - especially in the content of commercial radio. Nothing, absolutely nothing, is a - add your own air quotes - "once in a lifetime" opportunity. The folks reviewing your resume could likely be realtors or accountants in a few years. If you wait it out long enough, you'll luck out with another offer.
