WJR Local News
What happened to the local news reports. WJR is only broadcasting Fox Radio News at the top and bottom of each hour. Any idea?

Re: WJR Local News
The only remaining news anchors at WJR are Marie Osborne and Ken Rogulski. Cumulus has too much debt to handle the overhead. That's why you hear so many infomercials by witch doctors, start-up nation geeks, financial gurus, and plain 'ol snake oil hucksters...many of them in what was once considered prime time. The station basically needs to be reinvented from top to bottom.

Re: WJR Local News
Not sure. It's a weekend show. Richard Sloan also does a segment weekdays at 7:11AM with Paul W. The promos for that run ad nauseam. I can't stand that nerdy, constipated voice. I'll be damned if I can figure out what the hell these guys are selling.windsorjoe wrote: ↑Sun Aug 08, 2021 7:29 amWhat time is the start up nation geek show on? I need a good laugh lol

Re: WJR Local News
I miss WJR. I assume JP McCarthy and Jimmy Launce are still dead?
I no longer directly engage trolls
Re: WJR Local News
Yes, along with their ratings.craig11152 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 3:13 pmI miss WJR. I assume JP McCarthy and Jimmy Launce are still dead?

Re: WJR Local News
I continue to hear Marie, Ken, and Lloyd Jackson as senior news analysts only. If they are employed by WJR why are they not doing local news. I would much rather hear that and leave commentary to the talk show hosts.

I guess WJR isn't hiring Tom Jordan after all?
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Shocked they haven't canned Albom's babby ass yet.

Re: WJR Local News
I agree. His ratings have been horrific for years. The station must feel he's good for P.R. purposes, I guess.
Many years ago, I remember Dominski & Doyle were top 5 in Adults 25-54 in 97.1 during its FM Talk days, and Albom was in 19th place.

They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Re: WJR Local News
At least some of the "bits" on Albom's show are funny. Kevin O'neill is a nice addition to the show. It'll be interesting to see the ratings for Kevin Dietz, and Guy Gordon the next time around. Both would be perfect for drivetime in Lansing or Kalamazoo.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 7:21 amI agree. His ratings have been horrific for years.

Re: WJR Local News
As to the news Analysts, I still don't get it. Does Mike Wheeler come up with this stuff on his own? Consultant Walt Sabo was well known for shenanigans like this. Change, for the sake of change.
