Started last Tuesday morning (12/27). Jennifer came on at the end of the week--Cassie the traffic reporter (what's her last name?) did the news spots the first couple of days.
I thought it was David MacKay, who I couldn't stand in morning drive at the final days of WFYR, but it's someone else and I've gotten used to him (because the last hour when I come to work, which is when I first hear the station, is now mostly music). Still haven't gotten his first name (and Feder still hasn't written about him). I like his decision of using Al Hirt's "Java" as his closing theme song as a way to hit the TOH stager on the satellite without having to fade a vocal out. Doesn't always work--played "Java" all the way through this morning and still had to join the satellite before the TOH. (And I realize that unless Shannon's E-mailed the playlist from NY, he can't really backtime into the TOH.)
