Frank Beckmann's replacement named at WJR

Definitely someone I was NOT expecting...

Kevin Dietz, formerly of WDIV.

Have never heard him do radio. Is he any good at it?

"Kevin, it came down to you and one other candidate. We consulted with Mr. Beckmann and since you were the only one with a history of racist remarks, we decided to extend this offer. Fried Chicken Frank sees a lot of himself in you."

Lol at the message above.

Dietz subbed for Mitch Albom a lot. Personally, I thought he was a little boring, but hopefully he can make his show into his own. Good luck to him.

No. He's been on most of the summer, and is about as exciting as dry white toast. The effeminate voice may work for TV, but not radio. I actually prefer listening to Glen Beck on WCXI. Technical glitches and all.

Sean Baligian would have been a much better choice. At least he has some personality, and energy...today, Sean was doing traffic on 'JR. Brilliant use of air talent.
