Is he out at WQKL? The station posted for a morning show opening on All Access just today.
I remember when they let him go the first time, they were forced to rehire him because of all the negative PR that resulted.

Re: Martin Bandyke
All I ever hear on 107one is a back sell and a front sell. What's with all the "produce creative content" stuff?

Done.

107.1 is a cure for insomnia in my opinion.
Re: Martin Bandyke
He's also pushing 70, maybe he wants to retire.
Re: Martin Bandyke
He was really awesome at WDET, I've always felt sad for him since the move to 107.1

I agree that the DJ content on both 107.1 in Ann Arbor and 94.5 in Grand Rapids is often lacking in terms of "value add."
I realize the AAA format does not necessarily lend itself to a lot of DJ chatter between songs; the audience is looking for music-intensive programming.

Well, he was on this morning, and I didn’t hear anything even hinting at him leaving, nor have there been any announcements on his social media/website.
If he is pushing 70 — which surprises me, I figured he was in his 50s — he probably is eyeing retirement, or just cutting back his workload to doing his Fine Tuning show and being in an off air role for the station.
A good idea would be to bring back John Bommarito and have him do mornings. He was usually the fill-in for Martin whenever he was off, and he did a respectable job.

Random thought: could this be a contract issue between him and Cumulus?

Re: Martin Bandyke
I think Cumulus is trying to reduce salary it pays to veteran air talent by not offering to renew expiring contracts.
Another example can be found in Grand Rapids (Tony Gates / WLAV).

Re: Martin Bandyke
I want to be fair. Sometimes 107.1 scratches that deeper cut itch. They do spin some good stuff. The AAA format should be my thing. But it just ain't.

Nah, I don’t think KEXP would be Mega’s cup of tea. I absolutely love them, though.TC Talks wrote:Try kexp online some time.Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Fri Jul 15, 2022 3:10 pmI want to be fair.

I recommend 107.1 The Peak in NY, and XRT in Chicago. Both are heavy on deep cuts, especially the Peak.
Also, Audacy hasn’t completely fucked up XRT, so that’s a good thing.
