I was listening to WDOK last week and still heard Dan Deely on afternoons. I go to the WDOK personality page today and shows Nancy Alden in afternoons and Desiray McCray now in middays. Was Dan let go as of last week? I cannot find anything on the web relating to this so if anyone knows, let me know. See here: http://www.wdok.com/pages/101913.php

Not only was Dan Deely let go, but overnighter John Elmo and weekender Jim Davis (yes, THE Jim Davis of WRMR lore) were torched as well. Their other weekenders are shared with Q104 (Rick Allen, Teresa Navidad and Mark Harness) but it looks like Alli McKee and Bob McKay are still there. For now, anyway.
Apparently CBS Radio is now mandating VT'ed programming on all music stations in non-drive-time dayparts. Obviously they would be nuts to let Nancy Alden go-- she's been a part of WDOK since 1987 (after being forced off of the old WNCX "North Coast eXpress"). So someone had to be let go.
Oh, and Dave Popovich now is the de facto PD for Q104, WDOK, WNCX and K-Rock. Given this new CBS mandate, IDK about Bill Louis' or Dominic Nardella's immediant futures...

As a general rule, it seems CBS wants to voicetrack as many non-drive-time dayparts as possible.
We stumbled onto this via Don Barrett's excellent LARadio.com, where the company's proposal to the AFTRA union is laid out in great detail. I'll put an item up about it later.
Cleveland is (AFAIK) not an AFTRA market for CBS Radio, but the proposal signals what CBS wants to do in market #2. One presumes smaller markets will be even more affected, without a union "in the way" of the voicetracking plans.
As far as Mr. Richards goes in Detroit, I presume he has a contract - he was hired fairly recently, within the past year or so. Maybe he'll be moved, if he doesn't hang in there in middays.
