Clear Channel Cuts: Part 2

J

Joe1000

In the Twin Cities the on-air cuts are:
Chris "Fish" Fisher: K102 Mornings
Langdon Perry: KTLK
Danielle Hitchings: KTLK
Lois Mae: Kool 108 Mornings
Dan Donovan: Kool 108 Afternoons

This would mean Kool 108 is has no on-air jocks at all with the firings of Derek Moran and Dan Riggs in January and now the firings of Lois Mae and radio-legend Dan Donovan. Just when things where starting to go back up for Kool 108 after that "Movin" disaster took place, this happens.

Does anyone have an update on Lois Mae or Dan Donovan? They were fun and enjoyable to listen to each day on my daily commute.

I tried listening to KOOL-108 for a couple days after they gutted the station, but quickly found it was more stale than month-old bread. The morning "voice" sounded like an intern forced into service, and it's pretty clear that the generic programming is "best of the 60s and 70s," so we lose any reference to music of the 50s, and there is little or no reference to local events or news. Maybe it's changed recently, but in my opinion KOOL-108 was essentially killed when CC dumped Lois and Dan. A radio station should have personality. It's not a jukebox or iPod. And the last thing Twin Cities radio was less personality or variety.
 
KQQL is running Clear Channel's Premium Choice cat litter programming, almost the same as satellite formats minus the magic call drops.  You'll hear the same thing on KUUL in the Quad Cities as you do on KQQL.
