He's staying in the building for an as yet unnamed morning gig. Perhaps RKR?

Benson is indeed headed to the AM shift on RKR starting Monday. Curious, though, if he is assuming PD duties as well? He is PD of WKMI, but that’s pretty much a title on an automated news talker.

Only thing left to wonder is which lame ass, canned, air talent kid; syndicated and broadcasting on 50 radio stations from his/her bathroom in Duluth, Townsquare will add to his/her list of markets and stations they don’t give a shit about. Their instructions will be to just make sure you don’t say Kellogg’s is in K-Zoo.

On a side note, following Benson at KFR is like following Tom Brady in New England. You’re fucked.

Dave Benson has been doing the PM drive like forever on WKFR at least for 30 years since the '90s surprised that he is going back to the mornings on RKR. I agree with MWmetalhead about WVFM hardly listen to it.

MWC flipping 96.5 to CHR at this point would be a total waste of time and 15 years too late.
