Re: Dan Bongino out at WJR in May
Polarizing syndicated hosts generate minimal ad revenue at the local level for WJR. Almost no local spots run during Mark Levin. Same was true when they carried Michael Savage from 3p to 5p years ago.
That said, I forgot about Chris Plante, and as a relative unknown locally, he has little "baggage". He's also a Cumulus guy, so you might very well be proven correct!

Absolutely. At a minimum I would think Marc would follow or at least be part of the deal. I know he isn't a fan favorite around here sometimes, but he does have the longevity with Drew.Round Six wrote: ↑Sat Apr 08, 2023 6:04 pmWhen you say "fork over salaries for everyone", does this mean you think his podcast entourage would need to follow him?Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Sat Apr 08, 2023 4:41 pm.... Would Drew want to go back to terrestrial radio? I mean, he does whatever he wants now, not to mention could Cumulus fork over salaries for everyone? ....

Re: Dan Bongino out at WJR in May
This is probably a very very longshot, but "Michigan Man" Rich Eisen? His show is syndicated by Cumulus/Westwood One and would be a nice break from the political talk normally heard weekdays on WJR. If he was chosen to fill Bongino's time slot, I would be thrilled and would definitely tune in, but again an extremely long shot.

Re: Dan Bongino out at WJR in May
Putting podcasters and 'influencers' like Bongino on radio almost always flop, because they don't get it.
They're used to talking to a camera. Radio is a difficult medium if you don't know how to do it properly.
Another long shot: Jim Harper? He does a weekend show on WJR.

Another long shot to add. Tony Katz out of WIBC in Indianapolis. His syndication is just getting underway and he has a handful of affiliates. He is less manic than Bongino.

I think Tony Katz also cohosts a weekly show with "Fingers" Malloy called "Eat, Drink, Smoke" which might fit WJR's audience.

They could just pay me 50K a year to stand on a corner with a bullhorn yelling "Democrats are responsible for 93% of all cancers. More after this"

Not an underground Democrat site.... IM a republican... I just despise people who promote propaganda and lies on television and the radio....
Also is there a Democratic Rush Limbaugh or a Democratic Cucker Tarlson??? I've never heard a radical left propaganda radio announcer.

Idk, man. Have you ever heard Peter Werbe? He makes Mother Jones look like BreitbartBirdieKingBobo wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 6:16 pmNot an underground Democrat site.... IM a republican... I just despise people who promote propaganda and lies on television and the radio....

Never heard of Pete Werbe.... I've heard of Pete Weber. I listen to Sirius..... all local terrestrial radio is awful.... plus as much as I drive, I'd be out of range in an hour.

Werbe hosted a Sunday late night call-in show on WRIF for decades. A throwaway time slot essentially.
