WTIC 1080 Ending All-News Block

[MarcB]

WTIC AM 1080 is ending it's all-news block that currently airs 3PM-6PM. It will be replaced by a show hosted by disgraced former Connecticut Governor John Rowland.

Based on the all the negative comments on The Hartford Courant's Facebook page about this story I'm looking forward to seeing WTIC's ratings plummet.

Thank God for 1010 WINS and WCBS, that's all I can say.

It doesn't work WTIC can always dump it after they see the ratings.

I liked the all news block during P.M. drive. In 20 minutes you got news, sports from usually Joe D'Ambrosio, weather and traffic. I liked how they played the CBS newscast 4 minutes after the hour. Sure it wasn't something I'd listen to all afternoon, but it was something I would tune to for updates. In fact, I was hoping WTIC would ditch Ray Dunaway and go all news for morning drive.

I used to listen to the news block when I was up on that side of the state. Too bad.

At least they could market it as the 'Crime and Punishment" block - crime for the time the former governor served and punishment for anybody who is stuck listening to him.
