Could John Kincade be Returning to Atlanta?

B

John Kincade, who was on 680 the Fan in Atlanta for 20+ years before being laid off during Covid, announced today he’s leaving 97.5 The Fanatic in his native Philadelphia . He also mentioned he’s going to relocate but didn’t say where.

Could he be returning to Atlanta? Philly and Atlanta are the only markets he’s worked in.
of note, he’s scheduled to play in 680’s annual golf tournament (with the revived “Buck & Kincade Classic name) later this month. The news was retweeted almost immediately by Mark Arum of WSB. Could he be switching to political talk and going to WSB? During his time here, I always thought that was a possibility.

"I’m not retiring, and I’m excited to eventually explore what comes next professionally. Philadelphia has meant so much to me, and I can’t thank the fans enough for their support, especially during my health journey."

There's always WFOM if he does political talk. Same owners. He could work with The Kimmer. But one would think he stays with sports, but you gotta go where theres a paycheck.

I don’t see that as a possibility.

1) The ratings on that station are minuscule and the signal is horrendous.
2) Has their been a shift in their program philosophy? If not, how would it work? John Kincade has never told an audience something because it’s what he thinks they want to hear. He’s an antagonist on the radio. Mark Zinno, WFOM’s first political host, has claimed WFOM fired him for not being a big enough Trump supporter and not telling the audience what they want to hear. Kincade isn’t going to do that either.
