Two more curious things -

• It was an unnamed voice making the on-air announcement, not Jerry Bott (general manager and often fill-in host).
• Speaking of fill-ins, instead of Bott or another local host (often Mark Neumann), the tape-delay broadcast of Sean Hannity was moved up 5 hours.

Methinks the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and their hate squads won big. Side note; it was Belling that broke the story that the then-afternoon Journal was killing off the morning Sentinel and moving its operations to the morning. As a result, they slapped on the Sentinel part of the name at the last second to spite him.

Word was that Clearchannel corporate took everything related to the Belling issue out of local hands.

Bott may well have been suspended or fired as well. They may have decided he was too close to Belling.

The real story will be out sooner or later.
