Re: Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV
Brian Casey was hired from Toledo and replaced them. His was the last morning show in i96. He was there maybe a year to 18 months.
Back then, upper 2's were considered a poor performance for 96.1 FM. It's been years since the station had numbers so strong. In hindsight, i96 is one brand that should've never been killed.

Re: Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV
any rumblings from Mr. Gates? It's been really quiet. I see LAV is trying to "liven it up" with more social media and awful trite morning show schtick. Bad jokes, trivia, and morning zoo kind of stuff.... yuck
Re: Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV
If I-96 never got axed, snot fm 105.3 might have never came to be

Re: Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV
I agree. 105.3 was basically (a poorly programmed) Hot AC in CHR clothing when it launched.

Re: Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV
Even competitor WFGR wrote about his disappearance:

Off topic, but WLAV's audio sounded excessively tinny when I heard the station in my car yesterday early evening.
WFGR's audio sounded a bit under modulated. What gives?
I will say WGRD's processing sounded phenomenally good; the best it's sounded in years.

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.

She departed or was fired (she was also PD) and recently landed a pretty good gig in Indianapolis.

Probably the best article WFGR has written in 8+ years.

Re: Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV
Given lack of any further updates on Tony Gates, I can only assume he is gone from WLAV for good.
Also, is it true WLAV has cancelled its long running Jazz Brunch show on Sunday mornings??? If so, I do have to say I'm surprised that show survived as long as it did.

Re: Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV
With no Ed Buchanan to spice "Breakfast in the Basement," I don't stumble into Jazz Brunch, or WLAV as often as I might, in the past.
This time of year, even when they come in sketchy, I tune in "the Fat One" out of Battle Creek via 930 AM or WION's 1430 signal from Ionia. For the sake of investigation, I will see about Breakfast and Jazz Brunch next Sunday.

I have been listening to LAV for the past hour (10-11am) and there is no Jazz Brunch.Also, is it true WLAV has cancelled its long running Jazz Brunch show on Sunday mornings??? If so, I do have to say I'm surprised that show survived as long as it did.
Tack care, Bernie.
PS. I wish there was something about Tony Gates. It must be a big secret like the "Manhattan Project".

Re: Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV
“Big secret”? Nonsense.
It’s called ‘budget cut’.
They got rid of a salary and now their numbers are going up. I hardly doubt anyone in management has any regrets.
