Re: Scott Winters signing off?

Time to revive and paraphrase an oldie but goodie from the early '80s.....

Last one working on the air in GR for Clownsquare please turn off the lights when you pick up your final paycheck.

Yes. It's in the article linked.
Ooops. I read an mlive article previously and that did not mention JoJo.

Re: Danny Stewart "Retires"

The video report was done nicely. But the written report....wow, that's bad.

Gotta' love the duct tape on Danny's phones. What's that about?

Where are the WFMK studios now? When I worked there in '87, it was out near Williamston in a ramshackle house.

I'm still waiting for the proper pronunciation of Saline.

Port Huron: Port Huhr-on .. or Port Urine?

Re: Danny Stewart "Retires"

Either way, good for Danny. I worked with Dancing Danny briefly at WVIC in the '80s. He was a very good jock and even a better person. I wish him well. There is life after radio! He had a very long ride, and in one market. Very, very few get to say that.

Jim,
It is YOU'RE not YOUR in that use.
BTW, how do you pronounce Saline? I always thought: Sah-LEEN. Is that correct?

Re: JoJo Girard’s last day at WFGR

That just plain sucks. Jo is a good guy and very talented.
If my math is correct (and it usually isn't), it's 34 years to the month that he's been doing morning radio at just 3 stations(?).... Sunny FM starting January 1989, Baltimore, then WFGR. That's a helluva run.

I remember some DJ on WABX pronouncing INXS as Inks. :lol

I did that the first time I came across the band, but that was at a Florida AOR station. I blame the PD: He should have put a pronouncer on the album cover.

Re: WFYC/Alma - Jon Heinlen

Back in 1981 & in 1982, WFYC played an album by an artist or group at around 10:00 at night (which that station was in MONO) including Sheena Easton's 1981 debut & America "Homecoming" from 1972!! The station ended at 11:25 at night & played the national anthem!! That station was blocked because I ...

Re: Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV

Now that is interesting. Investigative reporting by WFGR!
Also I see that JoJo Girard is solo again on WFGR mornings. What happened to his co-host? The few times I heard the two, it came off awkward. I think he is much better by himself.

Re: Doctor complains about TV 8's Whitney Burney's looks on screen

.....exactly what I suspect. She didn't air this dirty laundry without vetting it first, did she?
I assume the doctor was contacted.
It would be so easy to catfish the doctor that it's not funny.
So, what is the rest of the story?
