Cumulus 2023 Cuts Have Begun

[dial-it-in]

Sean is solid. I hope he finds a spot on 97.1

So they fire their best guy, Baligian, but keep that asshat Tom Jordan??

[RKC123]

Me too. Someone told me he is planning on starting his own podcast now. I hope he succeeds.

Hosting a one hour daily show in a crappy time slot that is out of format to boot is not exactly a recipe for job security.

I hope 97.1 hires Sean. He can backfill Jim Costa's prior time slots.

He could also replace Spartard afternoons and no tears will be shed.

A Valenti - Baligian pairing would pique my interest.

It seems to me that Sean was on with Paul W in the morning before Paul's move to mid-day. I never really understood what his role was supposed to be. Whenever he would chime in on the conversation, it was brief.

On their entire roster, The Ticket has only 2 black hosts and one of them is overnights, I don't think replace Rico with a White guy is going to play well, especially when the afternoon show gets great ratings. Sean could end up on the air in Grand Rapids or Lansing again.

Valid points. I do think Baligian backfilling Costa's time slots on 97.1 (after Costa moves to weekday mornings) is a possibility.

Rico has nothing to do with the great ratings of the afternoon show.

The Ticket really should find a place for Sean.

Yep. As usual.

Agreed. Sean is actually a very good local sports talk show host, unlike the tiny one...
