Tracy Taylor Out At KWNR

J

Jay F

I heard that Tracy Taylor is out at KWNR mornings. I remember when there was such high expectations when she started. Some at CCLV truly believed Tracy and her former partner Brad would have the #1 morning show in Las Vegas. I guess it didn't quite work out that way.

Who will replace her? My guess is the syndicated Bobby Bones from Austin TX will add KWNR as it's newest affiliate.
 
I would guess that Jojo will move to PM Drive.

The Bobby Bones show is a 6 person team, so I'm assuming there will be a lot of talk. I believe this will be the 4th AM show on KWNR is 2 years. Why do they think a syndicated show will work? Especially a show that's new to the format.
 
It's obviously a corporate decision. CC has this new syndicated Country morning show that they want to put on several of their stations. Any of their country stations without an established, high rated morning show is fair game. KWNR certainly fits that profile.

Of course CC wants to save money. But they probably also sincerely believe this is a great morning show and that Bobby Bones will become a national icon, something like the Ryan Seacrest of country.

Tons of syndicated morning shows have been attempted in Las Vegas. No matter how good they do in other markets they always fail (except for Howard Stern). Without having heard Bobby Bones I predict he will fail as well, no matter how entertaining his show may or may not be. If there is a lot of talking (how can there not be with a 6 person team) the odds are all the worse since that doesn't sound PPM friendly.
 
Ryan Seacrest has a little show called American Idol to get him started. Bobby is not going to have the same launching pad. But even Ryan's syndicated show is doing poorly in the ratings.
