New WKDD Midday Host

C

CleveFan

I heard on WKDD that they have a new host on middays. Her name is Heather Williams, and I think she's from another market. She's on from 10am until 2pm. I wonder what happened to Toni Foxx?

http://www.wkdd.com and look under on-air.
 
ROTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This just proves my earlier post that those always picked last in kickball that roam these boards will believe almost anything said on the radio or written on a blog, unless it's from the Rover show, cause they are nothin but fibbers.

Toni Foxx ( sorry I don't know her real name or I'd use it here.) has been tracking WKDD from WQIK in Jacksonville, Flordia for a few years. She's part of the morning show there on the top rated county station.
I'm sure her post on WKDDs website was tounge in cheek, it's very Charlie Sheen like.

Ran a google search and the new Heather williams is from WLZT/WNCI/WCOL columbus.
 
Well, whatever or however it happened, or whoever said or wrote what, tongue in cheek or not, it does appear Ms. Williams is in the midday slot on WKDD, though Toni is still on the site.
 
When someone leaves a radio station, you take them to task for a "Soviet Style Purge" of the personality from their website. Now somebody left a jock who left up on the site and it seems as if you are taking them to task.

Which way would you like it?
 
Nope, that's not what I meant to say at all...I was just trying to sort out what happened.

(And yes, I have used the phrase before, but it hardly applies here.)
 
The fact is that all the personalities on KDD are awful anymore. The morning team is unbearable. Middays were a mess. The afternoon guy is the best they have. Classic example of a once good station now a pale version of its former glory.
 
Interesting observation, Scotty. I'm a bit confused however as you've made 37 posts and in 16 of them you mention XM and how you'd never listen to terrestrial radio again, yet here you are.

I'd also question your previous post when you said you had an encounter with a former WKDD morning show host and he was a class act. Clearly you never met the guy. Class Act and his name do no go together. Anybody who ever met him, they would agree.

Not defending 98.1 here, I haven't listened in a while. I'm too old and not into their music.

I do apologize, listen to WKDD in the office. But in my car, not since the XM/SIRIUS Radio.

I have not met him personally and do understand that when you meet someone in person, the opinion does change. I have a few personaliies in Pittsburgh that I had met and completely understand that statement.


I work in Youngstown, but can't stand the radio here even worse so I tune to WKDD in the office.
 
That guys like D. Wallace inexplicably succeed is one of the many reasons radio is in its death throes.
 
I agree with Sono. There's still too much reach for radio to even be in a 'death throes.'

Conglomerates like Citadel-Cumulus, CC, CBS and Salem, are all guilty in a way for micromanaging the medium in a Dilbert Pointy-Haired Boss sense. It's being done for the bottom line and not with care to either the medium or its' listeners.

But I wouldn't call the medium dead, not by a long shot.
 
But it's certainly facing its biggest challenge since television. XM, mp3s, youtube, and the biggest enemy: cruddy programming.
