Refresh my memory - before Chris "exited", did he do the moring show for a very short period of time?

For some reason I remeber thinking that the morning show just didn't fit him. Love him in teh afternoon, though.

Chris filled in once or twice for one of the morning hosts at KBME... didn't really fit in there either....

If Tom is going back to Clear Channel, they must be giving him a great deal on time he will buy for his show. If I remember correctly 610 is charging him around $200k per year for his 6 hours per week on 610.
 
no way on Baker - too much tail-gunning on the way out of Houston the last time. That bridge was sent to the crematorium.
 
...and KKRW is going all music in the am as a cost savings initiative. They are going to see how that flies with PPM and then make a call later if it doesn't work out. CC and Cox have in effect swapped programming strategies.

How's that working out for Jack?
 
Houston gets a Morning Cup of Joe and a Good Baker
KPRC-AM Announces Chris Baker to Follow Joe ‘Pags’ Pagliarulo Starting March 2nd

Houston, Texas , February 17, 2009 –Beginning Monday, March 2nd, Houstonians will get an ever better cup of 9-5-0 Radio Mojo when Chris Baker returns to the airwaves on his hometown station KPRC-AM announced Eddie Martiny, President and Market Manager for Clear Channel Radio Houston. The Chris Baker show will air live from 3-5pm daily, while award winning Joe ‘Pags’ Pagliarulo will move to mornings to host “your Morning Cup of Joe” from 6-9am.

“Chris has a lot of fans in Houston, and he’s incredibly talented. We are excited to bring him back to Houston, back to the same station and time slot in which he began on-air over eight years ago,” said Michael Berry, Operations Director for Clear Channel Radio Houston’s AM stations. “With Walton & Johnson moving up the dial to the Arrow, 93.7 FM, the morning show slot opened on The 9-5-0. ‘Pags’ was the perfect choice for the mornings. If ‘Pags’ can appear on Fox News Channel, CNN, Headline News, CNBC and fill in for Glen Beck, we know he will be the perfect cup-of morning Joe for Houston.” added Berry.

Joe ‘Pags has been honored with multiple AP and broadcast association awards of excellence, and has been ranked among the most influential talk show hosts in America. Chris Baker is a stand-up comic who has been making Houstonians laugh for years, but he also makes them think. Houston loves his brand of talk and humor, and Clear Channel is looking forward to his listeners responding to his message.

The new KPRC-AM 9-5-0 Radio Mojo line up will be:

Morning Cup of Joe with Joe ‘Pags’ Pagliarulo 6-9am
Michael Garfield 9a-11a
Outlaw Dave 11a-1p
Dave Ramsey Show 1p-3p
The Chris Baker Show 3-5pm
The Michael Savage Show 5-8pm


KPRC-AM is the first radio station in Texas, originally broadcasting in 1925. KPRC-AM’s legendary TalkRadio format transitioned to “guytalk” in July of 2007. With the exciting move of ‘Pags’ to the mornings and the addition of Baker and the station will retain the popular Radio Mojo format.
 
Glad to see they are unloading those losers Walton and Johnson. Maybe they can go back to Alabama or whatever hick town they can find employment in.
 
I guess reading isn't your strong suit.

W&J and going to 93.7 to replace Dean & Rog. You know, those guys who've been doing the same "birthday scams" for years. I remember the birthday scma from long ago. I believe John Lander called it getting "Zoogerized" though.
