Russ Parr Out in Cleveland?

Russ Parr was not on the air at 107.9 WENZ Cleveland today . Russ Parr maybe out and maybe Ricky smiley morning show may take over mornings at WENZ.
 
I don't see Russ Parr on AURN's website no more.

He's on a handful of stations, maybe the network dropped him like ABC/Citadel dropped Doug Banks.

Maybe the stations are just waiting out their contracts they are obligated to, since Syndication One has Rickey Smiley.

I wonder how Russ feels, him and Catheryn go wayyyy back. But its still "her."

That's business for u!
 
Rickey Smiley seems to be the NEW way to go as far as syndicated Urban morning shows. Russ Parr and Doug Banks have been around for years, but now it time for new blood to step in. Usually, its 2 syndicated Urban shows and 2 syndicatyed Urban AC shows. Looks as if Rickey Smiley maybe the only choice since Russ is slowly loosing stations and Big Boy did a 360 in the South.
 
Still, Russ was Mz Kathy's "buddy" all these years.

Did anyone see an official press release about AURN dropping Russ?
 
I doubt Russ truly cares since he is still on the Radio One flagship station, WKYS, and collecting paychecks. If he isn't syndicated anymore that would make him a live and local morning show once again for the DMV. I've listen to his show and it seems it has more focus on the DMV than in the past.
 
Don't Speak Too Soon About Russ In The DMV. Take A Look

The station I program Runs Russ, and I have not received any notice about AURN dropping the show and he is still on AURN website. Also if you will look at his affiliate stations in Indy, & Cincinnati websites it looks the same as WKYS. Russ is on the air but Rickey is coming. As far as I know Richmond and Raleigh will still have Russ (both are Radio-One stations).

Only Time will Tell

OH wow they changed their website up, because when I made the original post, he was no where to be found. And a old google link linking his page on their website showed 404error. I see he's back up on AURN.
