What will happen to the other WOR Radio Network programs?

The program lineup had been dwindling for years and now Joy Browne has been fired, probably their biggest name. What is next for the remaining shows? Will Premiere absorb any, or have we just not yet gotten word about their firings?

That they have let go Willis Damalt, WOR's longtime affiliate relations pro, is not a good sign.

Willis is a class act. I hope he finds something else quickly.

Most of their syndicated programming is going away. For now, The Pet Show with Warren Eckstein and the Travel Show with The Frommers are spared. The Car doctor, Mike colomeco Food Talk and Dr Joy are gone.
 
Ian and Mark,
Thank you both for the kind words.
It has been my great good fortune and honor to work for Rick Buckley, Joe Bilotta, Bob Bruno and Jerry Crowley over the past 8.5 years.
I always tried to be a good steward of The WOR Radio Network and it's 300+ affiliates.
As we all know, new owners always means change.
I'll be continuing to work w The Car Doctor and some of the other properties; keeping them on the radio.
Looking forward to talking with all my friends in radio over the next few weeks.
Thanks again
