Vanity - Is Chris Plante done with WMAL?

Posted on 11/30/2012 9:12:20 AM PST by Perdogg

I heard that Austin Hill will be back next Monday after we were told that Chris Plante would return on Monday in the middle of the week.

Has Chris Plante been fired from WMAL, or is this more of a personal reason?

WMAL ping. Is this a Fairness Doctrine issue since Savage will be on Monday?

I just caught the final 10mins of the show, and heard AH make the announcement that he’d be in on Monday, for CP.

Health issues, politics, unemployment/new employment, pp-match? Google turns-up some speculation, but nothing from CP or WMAL. Hells bells, what IS going on?

Did you hear AH agree with the retired teacher that failing students are a result of uncaring parents? Sounds a like an Obama talking point. Personal responsibility is a tired, racist, white-guy way of life.

WMAL must be in for a format change.

Grandy and Andy gone. Mary Katherine Hamm gone. Brian Nehman gone. Chris Plante must be next.

I’m listening to a podcast now - AH is on. If Chris goes, then I’m done with WMAL. I download his podcast every day. Can’t listen on the computer at work.

AH is a mushy moderate. I washed my hands of him about three years ago when I heard him attack Sarah Palin on the air.

Just checked Chris’ Facebook page and he’s still there, posting. So my guess is that he just took an extra day or so with his family in Chicago.

I was wondering the same thing. I thought when Chris said he would be subbing for the ex Governor of Arkansas, (can’t think of his name) that he’d only be gone one day. It has been boring having him gone. When I heard he wasn’t going to be in on Monday either, I was not happy.

If he goes there is know longer any reason to listen to WMAL.

Plante was away for Thanksgiving in Chicago with family, came back on Monday, 11/26 and went on-air. His Technical Director (and/or his Producer - don’t recall which) and a caller mentioned he was repeating himself, which was noticed by other fans as well. He repeated himself a lot, which is most unusual for the Planteman. The repetition might have been signs of some serious problem, which we hope he does not have.

I’ll get back to everyone as soon as I hear something.

Savage starts at 9pm through 11pm on Monday, Dec. 3rd on WMAL and is not scheduled to interfere with Plante’s show.

It could just be a schedule change.
WMAL and WABC just picked up Micheal Savage.

Well, I know what I won’t be doing between 9 pm and 11 pm. Can’t stand Savage. Let us know if you here about Chris. He is the best and he makes me laugh.

Thank you for the update. I remember after the 2008 elections, WMAL flirted with the Fairness Doctrine. That is what I was talking about in relation to Savage since John Batchelor was less political.
