I've noticed WFGR is playing a lot more 90s music compared to a year ago

Another interesting Townsquare GR item: Doug Montgomery (I assume that it is the same guy that was at iHeart/CC for a number of years) is now PD of WLHT: https://mix957gr.com/help/

A bit odd that there was no press release about this hire.

In recent years, he has programmed 101 WCBS and 94.7 WLS-FM.

Until very recently, he was OM/PD of Kicks 101.5 in Atlanta (an appointment that didn't make much sense to me since his background seems to be largely non-country radio).

How interesting that the guy who helped restore 101 CBS-FM now has the reins of WFGR!

Also noteworthy - he helped launch Fresh 102.7 in the big apple, the first successful brand at that dial position in many years.
OMFG, I can't imagine the circumstances that would persuade someone with his resume' to move from Atlanta to Grand Rapids. The shitty weather alone would be enough to talk most people out of it. There would have to be wheelbarrows full of cash, and stock options to get most people up there. What can Clownsquare be paying him?

Maybe he's trying to stay one step ahead of the law...
