Guest
From the K Rock Myspace page.

Monday Nick Zopolis 9-1
Kravin 1-3

Tuesday-Friday Nick Zopolis 9-3

Saturday Kravin 2-7
Nick Zopolis 7-12 except for NASCAR races

Sunday Kravin 10-3
Nick Zopolis 3-8, except for NASCAR races

It appears Ally is also gone along with Megan Slater.
 
After Paulsen's through waiting out his non-compete, I'm sure he'll be in the mix somewhere. The ratings aren't good, they've really got to find something to compete with DVE, and they have yet to do that. Paulsen will help, but they need to find a niche.

When they change to talk radio format, Paulsen is supposed to be on the 3 to 7 shift Mon thru Fri.
 
Please tell me Chris Kidd (or is it Kidd Chris?) isn't taped and then broadcast some other time?

If that abomination is being taken off the air- then it almost is worth losing my beloved hair bands.

Final note- if I'm a K-Rock DJ, aren't I at this point looking for another job?

I would hope the DJs who have left to this point have done so on their own accord, and wish them all the best.

I wouldn't be surprised if K ROCK kept Kravin for the weekends when 93.7 flips to talk as he has been with 93.7 for 16 years now. I know a lot of the Free FM stations still have
rock music on the weekends.

Depends on tenure with the station. Only Ally and Bob Orilee left on their own. Dave Cook was let go the last day of November, Megan was let go March 2nd. Kravin will outlast the current management of CBS Radio. Nick probably has a severance package waiting on April 2nd unless they plan to keep him afterwards. As far as Kidd Chris is concerned, they could pull the plug on that disaster whenever they want to. It's not like O&A where they are contractually obligated to carry that show regardless of the numbers.

Rumor has it Kidd Chris will be on tape delay for another timeslot.
 
I've heard that Kidd Chris will run as the night show after Scott, but that's just a rumor as far as I know. Also probably depends on whether they work something out with McIntyre.

I work till 11:30 at night and Love Line is on. Chris Kidd (or Kid Chris) as Pratt says would be about as pathetic, so why would it matter I guess, both are equally as bad. Please tell me both of these disasters are leaving Pittsburgh in April.

McIntire is a done deal.

Do you know what time slot Mcintire will be on?
 
I stand corrected about the scheduling. Their MySpace page has updated the scheduling as having Kravin from 4-9 Saturday and 3-8 Sunday. Nick Zopolis is not listed as being on air during the weekends.
 
A lot of missing pieces to the WRKZ talk puzzle still remain. I would guess Kidd Chris becomes a weeknight show. If McIntire is from 12-3 and Paulsen is 3-7, who has 9-12? Are they going to have Nick playing tunes for three hours? Will overnights have music playing or more talk shows?

Tony Bruno is what a poster says on Voy.

It's going to be a talk station.

I figured that out in August of last year when Kidd Chris was picked up. What I am trying to figure out is will it be a 24 hour talker or a Free FM talker? I am also trying to figure out what great programming they plan on carrying? I know they got quite possibly the two biggest pretentious a-holes coming in the form of Paulsen and McIntire, I would like to know what other pretentious a-holes are joining the fray? Guess McIntire might have to lay off of the Opie reference in regards to the mayor of Pittsburgh, it might piss the other Opie (Greg Hughes) off.
 
The one quality pickup on this lineup is Tony Bruno.

It could be said Bruno made the ESPN Radio Network. Throughout the 90s he was a howl to listen to on the weekends and was the marketable star of the network.

FOX has been a sorry state of affairs since Bruno's departure.
