WGAR is doing something interesting to replace Carletta Blake.
They are simulcasting Joe Kelly from Columbus sister station WCOL 92.3 (which is also a country station) in the 10a-3p midday slot.
This mini "regional syndication" deal isn't completely new.
Remember, when current WTAM afternoon host David "Bloomdaddy" Blomquist was the morning host at WWVA 1170 in Wheeling, he was syndicated out to stations in Pittsburgh and in Akron (where he was heard on WHLO 640).
So this Joe Kelly thing kinda has the same feel to it.
