I hope they have something good to replace him with. I'm one of the few, I suppose, who is sad to see him go. I hope they have a better plan than Fox Sports, Jay and Matt, or Rudy. No offense to any of those guys, but those options aren't worth dumping Hallerin for, even if it means you can go 24 hours sports.

Perhaps, but as a listener, if they put a lousy show in his place, I'm going to find something else to listen to. Now, if they put something decent in his place, then people will still listen and the Zone can call themselves a sports station. Even though it still won't quite be 24/7 sports, with the fix-it show and DUI Mike on Saturdays.
I think 106.7 has proven that a consistent brand, with mostly crappy programming, doesn't automatically bring listeners.

I certainly hope they don't plug in the slot with the universally-despised "Fox Morning Extravaganza". It's not worth axing a local show, even if it's not a sports show, for a poor model. I've seen the talk on the Sports board about FME and after tuning in, I see what they mean. Heck, "Springer on the Radio" and even Pam Stone - both shows which are on at the same time - are better listens than FME.<P ID="signature">______________

Is HHH's leaving based all on 104.5 the Zone's discision or did he have any input at all to him leaving the Zone? He hosts a highly rated morning show in Knoxville from 5:30 AM to 10:00 AM, which means as soon as he signs off the air in Knoxville, he is signing on here with a totally different show with different topics from what he had just done in Knoxville. He also hosts a public affairs program on WATE-TV 6 every Sunday at noon, a show on HGTV and has just written a book that he is now promoting. Could it be that it was a mutual discission by both the Zone and HHH for him to leave the station at this time since he has so many irons in the fire at this time?

Yeah, he even admitted he was "disappointed" that he was leaving the Nashville airwaves, though he also said he didn't blame the Zone and was grateful for the time he had on the airwaves here.

Rarely did HHH's Nashville show focus on totally different topics from his Knoxville show. He often used material from his Knoxville show, not just in continuing topics he had discussed earlier in the morning, but often replaying interviews with state newsmakers on the Nashville show that were conducted on the Knoxville show. I heard this on more than one morning when I woke up in East Tennessee and drove to Middle Tennessee. I think he could do well with a statewide show on Citadel's newstalk stations in the state, although since they switched WNOX from the 99s to 100.3, you can pick him up all over East Tennessee, and into eastern Middle Tennessee.

There were times on his Nashville show that he dealt with local issues in Nashville, which I can't imagine would have much interest in Knoxville. I have also been in Knoxville when I have heard local Knoxville and Knox County offical on his show, which would be of little or no interest in Nashville. I'm sure a majority of his shows in Nashville were continuations of his Knoxville shows but not all of his shows were. When he brings up a story that he saw in that days edition of the Tennessean, it may not have ran the News-Sentinel yet, so it would be hard for his Knoxville show to be the same as his Nashville show.
