In DC, they dumped their 24-year local FM morning host (11th in the market) and replaced him with a show they syndicate out of Atlanta, which is tacky and appears to be designed for frat boys. They dropped from 11th in the timeslot to 16th virtually overnight.
Same thing happened in Dallas with a 20 year plus morning guy.
I wasn’t a huge fan of his and seldom listened to him, but it seemed odd. He had pretty good ratings.
In DFW, Cumulus failed to renew the contract of Mark Davis at WBAP, which brought in Ben Ferguson as a replacement. Nothing against Ben Ferguson, but he would have to live another 100 lifetimes to become one-half the broadcaster Mark Davis is. Davis moved over to KSKY and is now brutally pummeling his replacement. It’s not even close to being a fair fight. The Dickey Bros. win the booby prize yet again!
