To update the WQIO/WMVO situation, once again, in Tuesday's Mount Vernon News:
http://www.mountvernonnews.com/local/100405/wmvo.html
** It's up to Ron Staats if he wants to come back to WMVO, where he's been a station fixture for 38 years. So far, he's shied away from BAS's offer, telling the News that "it’s not attractive to me. They made a decision not to include me in the starting team... they have their reasons. From a business point of view, I understand. From my point of view I do not accept it. They want to include me in community events and things. I don’t feel that’s acceptable."
BAS may need to up the ante, IMHO, in order to avoid a PR nightmare. So far, former WQIO middayer Larry Gilliand is holding Ron's duties.
** Why the Bobby McFerrin stunt? "It was silly but fun and not meant to be rude or irritating," said WQIO/WMVO general manager Jeff Neidert. Jeff said that it was BAS' way of making the ownership transition and to calm people's fears. Some listeners really wondered what - if any - stunt was being pulled.
** John Tesh is officially gone from WQIO. BAS has made no indication that they want him back at all; so it's ABC's Starlight channel in the evening.
** Paul Harvey is temporarily absent from WMVO. Apparently, his contract with the station lapsed. But BAS is trying to get him back on 1300.
** The News will publish updated lineups for WQIO and WMVO next week.
** Type in both www.wqiofm.com and www.wmvo.com - domain names maintained by CC - and you will see that no more website exists for either "93Q" or WMVO.
