Yep, they broomed out Joe Donovan, who was there for many years...funny, how we're now on replacement #3 for 'ol Joe :lol (whatever the reasons may be).

Good job. :rollin

The whippersnappers here don't like older people on the air. I remember that Roberta Jasina said that Don DeGroot hired her, so she's definitely a veteran. We ought to respect her.

I personally love listening to Roberta Jasina. It's a lot of the newbies that suck.


They/them, non-binary and proud.

The first thing Roberta says when she enters the WWJ newsroom is "Get the fuck out of my chair" :lol Like her or not, there's nothing phoney about Roberta.

I am old enough to remember her doing the news on the old "Magic 95" WMJC (now WCSX, for you youngsters)

I like Roberta, it's all the other guys since Joe I'm not so sure about.

On the D and M podcast Maz told a story about the time he sat in Roberta's chair. He quit and went back to WJR the next day.

Too bad the feisty Roberta isn't the one we get to hear on the air. :)

THAT would be very entertaining!

Instead, we get "be careful out there" Roberta.

I will say she's cut back on her bad on-air crutches in the past few years. I give her credit for that.

I was no fan of Joe Donovan's on air style and preferred sleepy Tom Jordan (who sounds better on 760 these days) to him. I think Jason Scott was excellent, and I like what I'm hearing from Jonathan Carlson so far.


Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Off topic, I always found it funny how Joe just picked up and left. Kinda like “screw you guys, I’m going home”.

Roberta gets dogged on. Nothing wrong with her. She is who she is. I appreciate that.
