I wonder where Tom is going? He was still on the air this morning and is still on the website, when they dumped Greg Alan he was off the website the same day. I suspect Tom would be more at home on the FM side considering that format is his background. Don't think they'd bring Greg back or that he would even go back.
His replacement in South Carolina didn't last long either.

Where do you see this? And what's the connection with South Carolina all about? Fill us in, please...I'm missing something.
If true, that would make it sound to me like more of a problem elsewhere up the chain. Anybody should/could be coachable to some extent. That would be more of a problem with the PD in my mind.
WMT's 12+ numbers did not look good for Spring. They're meaningless, I know, but they're like a box office number for movies...and dropping as much as they did was a warning sign at least.
Again, if true...the numbers must be worse than that to let a new host go after 1 book in a 2 book a year market...
Maybe Leo Greco and Jim Doyne are teaming up and taking on the mornings.
/that's a joke btw

As for the South Carolina thing, Greg's story is on his webblog www.gregalan.net.
Basically the station he was at in SC, as on air talent and PD (prior to WMT) , fired him and shifted gears from conservative talk to progressive talk.
His replacement on air and his replacement as PD along with, I believe, the GM were canned about 3-5 months later- along with the progressive talk (Air America). WSCC (was am WSC 730-now WSC FM 94.3) is back to broadcasting Rush, Glen Beck and Mike Savage.

You don't have the WSC story quite right.
It had been an AM, that brought an FM in for a simulcast.
Later, the "WSC" brand stayed with the FM, while the AM went progressive. That experiment failed, and that AM has since left the Talk format entirely.
The FM - and therefore WSC, as it was maintained - never went progressive, never abandoned conservative-leaning talk.
There had just been the vision that a progressive station might succeed, thus giving them more inventory to sell and more money to make. Had the format worked, the revenue stream would be larger (yet overhead would be up minimally). But, like many places, it didn't.

If Tom Collins is out at WMT I feel bad for him. From what I understand he moved here from California and was here for one book. C'mon JJ give the guy a chance. It seems like it has been downhill for Tom since his Heyday on KSO in Des Moines as a breakfast flake on the Tom and Jerry Show. Let's face it with JJ's history over the past year with WMT AM/FM it looks bad for him also. The only reason WHO continues to be strong is because of Van and Joel's leadership. The further they can keep JJ away from Grand Avenue the better.
What is going on at Q 92.3? Is the goose's goose cooked? Did JC head back to Michigan? Come on Cory...fill us in.

WMT-FM is up 1.4 over the last year. The AM is down 0.4 Spring-to-Spring.
JJ will be fine.
