make 98.1 and 105.7 majic radio simulcast together have a super station and put WKDD back on 96.5 where it should be

Keith is going back to doing afternoons on WKDD, where he was at when first joined the station in 1998 until when Matt Patrick retired and Keith moved to mornings.

 

[Les Talk]

I still want Keith to voicetrack everything. The man has the voice of God.

Today's episode of Mark Nolan is available as a podcast through iHeart. So far everything seems business as usual over there

 

[Vidtech]

He's probably filling on for vacations. He did that on WTAM.

Interesting. I can't remember when I heard someone was leaving his morning show and saying on the air he's going to another morning show on a competitor. I know it's another iHR station and in Cleveland but that could take a number of listeners from 98.1. Am I missing something?

Barrett Media sees this as a positive:

Majic 105.7 Cleveland Lands Keith Kennedy to Lead Morning Drive

"This move is consistent with iHeart's ongoing strategy of consolidating local talent into larger markets."

If you're the talent, you want to retain your audience. I think he's smart to do it.

This makes Keith on WGAR middays, WMJI mornings (perhaps still voicetracking overnights also), and WKDD afternoon drive. Didn't he at one point also do a shift on Mix 98.9 in Youngstown? Or am I just dreaming.

As an air talent, this is what you dream of. The ability to reach people in different dayparts and formats.

Is Mark Nolan fired?

He also filled in for Bill Wills on WTAM a few weeks ago.

Is Mark Nolan fired?

Apparently. I went to WMJI website and clicked on Mark Nolan Show and it says "page not available".

Nolan is going to PM Drive on WMJI

The changes also bring a new chapter for Mark Nolan, who has anchored mornings at WMJI for more than a decade. Rather than leaving the station, Nolan will transition into afternoon drive, keeping one of the market’s best-known personalities on the air while opening the door for a refreshed morning lineup.
