What's the latest on Shapiro,Cellini & Dimino?

[sportsradiofan]

What's the latest info regarding ex-Zoners Steak Shapiro,Nick Cellini & Chris Dimino? Are any of them still in Atlanta looking for work,or have they left the area? Personally,I would like to see 680 bring back Chris Dimino as a replacement for John Kincade,but I don't know if Chris Dimino would want to come back there after being part of the fiasco on August 7,1997 with stu Klitenic. He could go to 92.9,perhaps.

And, how does this affect Q100?

IMHO; They should try another market, reestablish a track record in the ratings, then come back after a couple of years if they want too.

Steak and Chris are becoming more visible again on Twitter. Nick not so much. Chris will be the first one back and I would guess on 92.9. Chris on 680 was when Cox ran it not the Dickeys so I don't think that would matter.

Rumor is that Chris will join 92.9 when his non-compete is up.

stu klitenic... have not heard that name in a million years.

IMHO...as to shapiro, cellini and dimino ... i would think dimino was the least offensive
of the three and would probably get a job sooner in the atl. market.

What happened back in 1997 re: Dimino on 680?

 

[sportsradiofan]

At 10:00 AM on August 7,1997,the original version of 680 The Fan ceased to exist,due to controlling partner Cox Radio's plan to replace sports talk radio with news & news-talk. Chris Dimino & Stu Klitenic were hosts of the 680 morning show,and therefore,the last 680 The Fan personalities until August,2000. This is why I think that Chris would be reluctant to rejoin 680-simply bad feelings about being dropped the way that he & Stu were.
