Googled her; her 40 YouTube subscribers should be excited...

Where might I know her from?

They can't keep a morning show. Between 9&10 with the rotating door there and talent leaving right and left in TC radio, there is not much in regards to consistency anymore,

HUH???
Omlette for 16 some years
Ron Prichard on Z93 for almost that long
Charley D on WCCW since the Depression
Tim Nixon on Lite since the beginning of time..
A lot more consistency than a lot of markets. Not sure the quality, but certainly some folks stick around, maybe even beyond their expirations dates.

Midwestern Broadcasting is probably the gold standard for loyalty to talent. In more cases than not, it has lent for a greater advertiser loyalty.

Especially at WTCM-FM, as Mike Sinclair and Carey Carlson have both been there for close to 20 years. Jack O'Malley was there for over 30 years before he ran for State House

Tim is still there? Didn't he start in the late 70s?

And other long-time personalities... Mike Grisdale at WCBY for several years. Last I knew he was still doing home sports games, but not sure if he's still on air.

How many morning shows has KHQ been through in the past 5 years? How many dayparts has Tim, since you brought him u p has he had to fill in on because talent has left?

Speaking of consistency, Ron Jolly is also still doing mornings on WTCM-AM; I occasionally listen online.

The proofreader in me cannot stand idle, it is "Trish" of MacDonald-Garber Broadcasting. Small potatoes yes, minor points awarded for the first acknowledgement.
