When does WPGB...

Switch over to Fox News? I know most of the CC news/talkers have already.

Up here, CC's WTAM/1100 (which feeds stuff to WPGB, by the way), has already basically gone full Fox News. I wouldn't be surprised if WPGB follows very soon, due to the aforementioned use of the WTAM newsroom for much of their anchoring.

I believe WTAM may still have access to ABC-I content, though that'll go away soon.

If I had to nail down a date to listen, I'd say check out WPGB next Monday. That's the date I've been hearing for some other related changes around here.

WPGB management has insisted FM 104.7 will remain an ABC affiliate "for the foreseeable future."

Make of that what you will. But my impression has been that WPGB's people like the ABC tie.

Very interesting, considering that nearly all of the news operations fed out of WTAM/Cleveland are now FOX News Radio affiliates.

The sole exception other than WPGB - liberal talk WARF/Akron, which keeps ABC. But WTAM's content for WARF and sister Akron talker WHLO does not include national audio, as both stations run the network newscast off the bird (FOX on WHLO, ABC on WARF).
