Who is the replacement? and was this his decision?
i'm sure the same Tired bunch of Chicago air people who have been going from station to station in town are "Circling high above the studio" to replace him. hey, maybe they will bring back Clark Weber! or Landecker, Winston.. ::)

I would love to hear Fred Winston on WLS-FM in the mornings. Fred is an excellent talent who should be back on the air.

You can rest your non case all you want, but the fact remains that Fred Winston is a very talented air personality.
Having said that, if Citadel hires a live morning host it will be the cheapest hire they can get.
 
hey radioman, i AGREE, Fred is Terriffic! but like several other talented individuals, but you must agree they've all been around the Chicago radio block too many times.

I agree that's true of many people, but IMO Fred should be back on the air, he's that talented.
JMO, it's OK if you disagree.
More than likely WLS-FM will hire someone cheap or just run more of Scott Shannon.

I was half way kidding about Donnie Osmond, but it is a Cidadel program. It just would not suprise me to see Donnie on WLS-FM
i would rather hear a "Local Personality" than more syndication, this is Chicago, not Decatur Illinois.. by the way i read that Miller "Phoned" in his morning show from a "studio" in his home! WTF! couldn't find time to make it to the studio.. where did he live 10 miles away?

Sadly it's all about saving money.

I wonder if the Citadel bankruptcy affected any severance? In bankruptcy they have the right to void any contract they want.
 
Not unusual for this business, or other industries. Covering themselves. They either had someone in mind, or a staff member who would do an acceptable job (for less money).

Doesn't seem fair for so many out of work across the country. Especially a talent ready to MOVE ON UP to a market like Chicago.
 
The format is True Oldies, gives us some names of good candidates. Or maybe someone can leak the name of the person if you think they have already made the hire.
