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.

(A great reminder, too, of how badly iFart mismanaged WDFN.)

Paywalled!

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

The Ticket really should find a place for Sean.

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