Kelly Kibler, Don Davis, Dan O'Malley and Alfie Coy - OUT at iHeart

This is what happens when the staff in on one day of the week and the sales staff isn't in the building at all.

Again, it ain't rocket science.
 
It's really intriguing to watch this.

So ALL of this is just IRONIC - right - Matt Martin in San Antonio just UP AND QUITS.

Kelly Kibler just up and quits.

Don Davis just up and quits.

Nothing to see here folks . . .
 
Let's see, both Detroit and DFW have AC, CHR and Classic Rock stations under the iHM umbrella.

What iHM Detroit has that DFW lacks are highly successful Urban and Urban AC stations.

I remember Don Davis from his WIOT days some 20+ years ago. That dude's gotta be up there in age.

Doing Adult R&B here is D/FW is a risky business. They dont have access to Steve Harvey in this market even though he works for them via Premiere. They gonna have to spend a whole bunch of money.

What iHeart has in one market does not in any way impact what they will do in another. Their leadership structure does not put format decisions in the hands of Market Presidents.

Anything iHeart does on 97.1 will still need to account for the Mavericks play-by-play. That is not moving elsewhere in the cluster let alone another signal.

Unless that contract is public, which it isn't, there's no way for you to know if it can be moved to another iHeart station. (Unless you were part of that negotiation.)

I wonder if they could move it to 92.5?

After 25 years of covering the radio industry and knowing a bit about the inner workings of iHeart, there is zero way they are putting the Mavericks on Kiss-FM, Now, or Star. I will maintain there is a slim chance it could go on KZPS, but it is also very late in the offseason to re-sell advertisers, update marketing, appease Mark Cuban, etc..

Most of you it appears are going to be very disappointed at the end result if what I'm hearing is the end result for KEGL. But it appears to have been enough to get Davis to walk away.

I wonder if there is a clause to move the games to another iHeart station because of conflicts/or station format changes. I just know that Mark Cuban wanted a be on a station that did not have any other teams airing sports play by play.
 
If 97.1 hangs onto rock, I'll be happy.

Would not surprise me, though, to see them go Sports.

Also would not surprise me to see the station adopt a 90s-centric rock format.
