A place to go for those of you who wish to discuss happenings in OH, IN, IL, WI, and Ontario. OSU sucks, by the way.

IHM RIFs hit YTown and Canton

Unread post by AMFMTV »

Radioinsight posted they can't keep up with the number of people getting RIF'd.

Allegedly ALL local talent gone from YTown and Canton clusters.

Gary Rivers gone from Mix 98.9, replaced by Murphy, Sam & Jodi
Stansbury gone from WRQK/Rock 107, replaced by WMMS' Rover.

The ever burning question: How much longer does Fred LeFebvre have? Will be replaced by Gordon Deal, or Michael DelGiorno?

Todd McGinty, PD and morning co-host is out at WKDD/Akron. I’m surprised Kennedy kept his spot on mornings there, as he’s the last host there.

Fred has been around so long here and has done so much work and community service that he deserves to leave on his own and have a farewell show. iHeart's Toledo cluster is almost gutted anyway,

Totally agree about Fred. Hoping he can leave/retire on his own terms. Unfortunately, Rick Woodell and all the people listed in the above article were not given that opportunity. Reading some of their comments, at least a few were completely blindsided.

And yet Keith "Velvet Mouth" Kennedy gets to keep his job.

Agreed on Fred. It's been funny hearing the guy who had Carty and Marcy in his crosshairs every morning 20 years ago become anti-Trump to the ire of much of WSPD's audience, but he was never as far right as others on the station (besides Sands) were anyway.
