KOLE Program Changes

I noticed Dan Gresham's show is not around along with the Sports Show on Wednsday. Ronnie Linden's show is on from 4-7 now in the afternoons. Phil Klien along with a couple other local shows arent on Saturdays anymore either. Think this has anything to do with the new managment taking over? Or is this station done?
 
I think that Dan is on vacation this week (they said that on channel 6) so I think this is how they dealt with his absence on the radio.

I doubt the new owners will change anything. They had better not if they know what's good for them.
 
KOLE serves Beaumont-Port Arthur at 1340AM. Local alternative to News-Talk KLVI at 560AM. Recently sold to an "out of towner".
 
Well I heard they had money problems and kept falling behind on paying Dan. I never liked that Dominick Brascia guy anyways he's annoying.

That could be correct. Dominick referred to some incident in which "one of their largest advertisers" (source of revenue) pulled their account from KOLE due to something he had allegedly said. It also looks (and sounds) like his syndication with Talkstar is also over. I'm not sure what kind of programming they could carry, but I am sure it will garner less ratings if they carry crap like "The Capital Group Gold Show with Jonathan Rose" which now apparently comes on at 1 PM.

You and a lot of other people I know dont either!!! He grates on your nerves IF you listen to him...and with KOLE's audio, it really sounds terrible.
 
Ok I just found out that the new managment over there canned all the local shows. Brascia's last show is this friday. No word of what format the station is going to be now??

The new owner, Birach Broadcasting (based in Michigan), does mainly ethnic formats. As to which one they'd put on KOLE I guess all of us may be surprised.
 
I would say make it into a sports format but that would never work in this area.
