Cumulus Charleston

Did Cumulus ever replace the morning show on Z-93 JAMZ after 'The Breakfuss Club' was canned? Rumors were Rickey Smiley's syndicated show was more than likely the replacement. Z-93's website has the 5:30am-10:00am drive as music.
 
I'm surprised Cumulus hasn't put Rickey Smiley on either. Seems to be the logical choice. Either him or Russ Parr which used to be on 100.9 The Bomb and Power 94.3.
 
Seems to me anything outside of top 50 markets just isnt a real priority for Cumulus. (except maybe sports formats)
Mid markets and small markets seem pretty cookie-cutter, with less local personality, similar playlists, even similar promotions.
(Weather Guide anyone?)
Ive listend in Columbia, Charleston, and some up in Wilmington and they all sound basically the same
 
Gordon I think you will find most Cumulus stations sound the same no matter if they are in market 1 or 200. Here in Rockford IL where I live our CHR station sounds just like Q100 in Atlanta... I hope I don't stir up the fire to much but video did not kill the radio star, but more like Cumulus and Clear Channel... CC1
 
Honestly it is a shame how the big companies run radio now a days. I guess I still love "Old Skool Radio" where the listener came first and the jukebox was in a bar somewhere and not programming a station... CC1

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show is back! :) It will begin airing on October 11th from 6am-10am on Z-93.

Apex must've had some type of contract preventing Smiley's show from Cumulus? I must say Rickey Smiley Morning Show is a great morning show and I'm sure Chucktown Hip-Hop listeners are excited it's coming back. Too bad this still the only Urban station for Hip-Hop and R&B becuase sound wise they sound horrible.
