Todd Thomas Leaving Hartford

[kms575]

Wow, a big week in Hartford!

First, 104.1 looks like it's getting sold to Red Wolf.

Now, Todd Thomas OM for CC Hartford is headed to Detroit. The timing's uncanny.

Might we see some big changes on the dial?

Is Todd still married to River mid day announcer Kristen Burns? If so,that may open up the midday shift. I'm sure it's already tracked, so it's just a matter of plugging another VT'd jock in there.

the timing of this is fantastic. one month after firing 2 program directors, the OM is now on the move, leaving hartford and new haven with pete salant and stan priest overseeing ALL 8 stations. priceless.

if the daytrading mix dj gets promoted to OM, i will have officially lost all faith in humanity.

7 stations now. Not 8. Country 92.5, KISS 95.7, The River 105.9, ESPN 1410, KC 101.3, NewsTalk 960, and ESPN 1300. 104.1 was sold.

They'll be holding the fort down until June, when/if the sale actually goes through.

Some might say he and his company destroyed the Hartford radio dial. Some might say that.

;D I would be one of those...he had in his hands once a GREAT station, and drove it staright into the ground. Took whatever insecuities he had and tried personally to compete with WCCC by leaning rock-heavy, and got promptly served a healthy helping of his own behind. Eh- good riddance. Nothing lost at all, really...
