Beginning Monday, January 9th, our afternoon programming line up will alter slightly as we strive to keep you Michigan’s best informed radio audience.
We are pleased to announce that the Mitch Albom Show will continue to anchor afternoon drive from a new time 5-7 p.m. This enables WJR to continue the 10 year tradition of bringing the Mitch Albom Show to you LIVE in the afternoon. This also will allow Mitch the time to address other demands of his career while continuing a show that we at WJR and Mitch are both proud of. In addition, Mitch will also continue to bring you “The Monday Sports Albom” each Monday from 7-8 p.m.
As a result of this change, we look forward to Sean Hannity covering the 3-5 p.m. time slot on WJR. This will give our listeners the opportunity to receive their daily dose of national and international news at an earlier time and also the chance to listen and interact with Sean Hannity LIVE.
Following the Mitch Albom Show Tuesday thru Friday, WJR’s award winning news department will bring you “The Big Story”. Hosted by WJR’s Lloyd Jackson from 7-8 p.m., this hour long segment will recap top stories from the day as well as important interviews heard on WJR.
Dr. Laura will fill the 8-11 p.m. time slot, followed by a new voice to WJR, Mark Levin from 11 p.m.-1 a.m. You may have heard Levin before as he is a frequent guest and substitute host on the Hannity show. Levin is one of America’s preeminent conservative commentators and constitutional lawyers and has become a favorite to thousands of radio listeners in the New York City area. We look forward to bringing him to WJR and the Detroit community.
So, to recap, effective Monday, January 9th the WJR programming line up will be as follows:
5:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. The Paul W. Smith Show
9:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. The Frank Beckmann Show
11:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Paul Harvey / WJR News
12:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Rush Limbaugh
3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Sean Hannity
5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Mitch Albom
7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Monday Sports Albom (Monday)
7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. The Big Story (Tuesday - Friday)
8:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. Dr. Laura
11:00 p.m. - 1:00 a.m. Mark Levin
As always, we appreciate the opportunity to serve this community as the Great Voice of the Great Lakes, News/Talk 760 WJR.
The Great One from 11pm-1am?!? Dump Mitch!
I agree. (I wouldn't mind if they got rid of Dr. Laura, too.)
Mitch Albom sux. I have been switching over to 1400 after Rush.
Who is on after Rush on 1400?
Michael Medved
Thank you for the heads up. Mitch was more than a minor annoyance as far as I was concerned..
Plus Hannity is doing a real good job covering the cruise ship mystery.
Mitch Albom is a wimpy liberal. Dump him.
/sarcasm
I hope we can get him on the air soon in the Hartford, CT area. I unfortunately live in the exact spot where WABC (NYC) fades out... between Hartford, CT and Springfield, MA.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
Thanks for the ping!
