What Happened to Tom Kent and His Shows?

E

Earlbj

This appeared in R&R July 3
"After being unable to reach a new agreement with the TKO Radio Network, company president and show host Tom Kent has decided to leave the company and his host chair. Kent had been hosting the nationally syndicated shows "Classic Top 40 With Tom Kent," "Hall Of Fame Coast To Coast" and "Into The 70s With Tom Kent" in over 200 markets.

TKO CFO/GM Susan Thompson tells R&R that all three shows will continue with a new host or hosts. “We’ve been here for 30 years and will continue to deliver these great products,” Thompson said. “The TKO Network is alive, kickin’ and moving forward.”

Anyone know where Tom will land after it appeared he worked his but off to get the shows up and on in over 200 Markets form the basement of his home in I believe Brecksville Ohio? Notice it was called the TKO (Tom Kent) Radio Network!

To quote Ahnold: "he'll be back".

;D
 
Where are the shows coming from now?

If I understand correctly, Tom Kent used to host all three shows from his basement in Cleveland....So where are the shows broadcast now that Tom Kent is gone?
 
Marty Thompson(oldies DJ/PD from Cincinnati) and John Landecker(former WLS night guy in the 70s) will be taking over. (see posting on Cleveland board.)
