TALK 1300, where is the announcement?

K

kbradio

Paul V. you keep us in suspense all week for a Friday announcement of who is going to be the LOCAL talker from 2-6 pm? You saving it for your live Saturday morning show or you gonna let one of your other owners announce it on their Saturday show?

Come on Paul give it up! Where's JR Gach's afternoon internet show when you need it. Cause without the internet TALK 1300 wouldn't be what it is today Paul V. Sal Ferlazzo, Trustco bank and Sandy Family...
 
According to the Blog, it was to be announced Friday OR Monday. Also, according to my sources, it may be delayed...The reason? Al Roney's non-compete clause has to be worked out with the lawyers on both sides, Al's and WGY. Yes, the announcement is going to be Al Roney will be the choice to take over 2-6 pm.

As soon as the 2 sides can come to an agreement of sorts, Al Roney will be on Talk 1300!
 
Thanks Reporter for always being there. Do you think Kelly will go back to B95 with Chuck? Or 12-2 or 3pm on Talk1300?

My "gut" tells me it'll be Chuck and Kelly eventually. I'm listening to the show and hearing no rapport with Chuck and Laura. Sorry I don't. It's Chuck's show now. He's the Captain. With no disrespect to Laura. It's about rappoort. Maybe I'm wrong, it's a gut feeling...

Now, interestingly enough, I think Ric Mitchell will go to the Buzz and Laura may follow, stay tuned!!! ..It's gonna be a fun ride!! Get your Seat belts ready!!!????
 
Doubtful that Laura would follow. According to those in the building, Ric was not what we all thought of him. He may have sounded good, but there were many "issues" with Ric. Hopefully Laura and Chuck will "gel". It's only been a couple of days. There wouldn't be many people welcoming Kelly Stevens back there with open arms. B needs to settle down and reclaim their dominance in the market.

Kudos for you for knowing since you apparently work at ABC. But, you have to have "rapport" with your co-host. I'm not saying they don't like each other...Time will tell.
 
Yeah, it's all about rapport and we got an ear full of Chuck and Kelly's affinity for each other when the mic was left open and she was ripping him a new one.
 
Chuck Taylor

Proving you can go home again, Pamal AC "B-95.5" WYJB, Albany, NY hires Chuck Taylor for mornings and programming duties, succeeding Ric Mitchell, who exits. Taylor spent many years at WYJB until he was replaced by Mitchell. Taylor will be paired with existing co-host Laura Daniels
 
So, how will Chuck Taylor's horing at B95 affect Talk 1300's new afternoon host?

This week will say alot. Mr. Vandenburgh is scheduled to announce his decision today. My $$ is on Al Roney. I will be shocked if it's Kelly. However, I do think if Kelly is not hired, she will jump ship and go back to B95. Laura will go with Ric Mitchell. My gut says Buzz 1057.

The Buzz has to change their format, it sucks.
 
@kbradio...If you "read" between the lines at what Paul just said at 9:50ish, The announcement will be made official after Al's non compete clause is complete. He will be announced as the next afternoon host. Kelly will be filling in this week. If all goes right, Al will start June 7, next Monday.
 
Thinking out loud!

Hey, wouldn't it be a HOOT if Rich Vassi was selected to be the PM host? He'd be great! The Tea Party would be devastated. And Kowalski could fill in when Rich needed a day off. It's a win+win! :-*
 
Paul V was grilled about the PM drive change this morning by the head of CDTA. Paul was ready to announce the new host earlier this week but the legal contract issues has stalled the process. Who else but WGY, reluctant to give Al Roney a chance to come back on area radio and show the world how stupid 810 was to let him go, has to be doing all it can to slow down Al's return. I never had much of a chance to listen to Al on his midday shift but trust he's not a right wing zealot. As long as he gives people from all viewpoints a fair chance to express themselves and doesn't ram his opinions down our throats I'll listen in.

As far as John Sweeney being a dark horse candidate I can not believe Paul V, even if he's a personal friend, would ever be so stupid as to hire someone just out of jail.
 
It would be one thing if Al left WGY on his own to goto another station outside the capital area, but they gave him the boot. How can they prevent him from making a living working in his field in the area his lives and provides for his family!
