Citadel Cuts MAL's Core & More - 2/29 - DCRTV gets confirmation: Longtime DC radio talker Chris Core has been let go from Citadel talker WMAL, which has promptly erased him from its 630wmal.com website, including its program schedule (right). We're told that it was "not personal," just "part of a massive cutback country-wide by Citadel." Core has worked at WMAL more than two decades, doing the Bill "Trumbull And Core" afternoon show in the 1980s. And there are rumblings of more cuts at Citadel's three DC stations - WMAL, WRQX, and WJZW - including the latter's entire airstaff (see newsblurb below). Also, DCRTV is also hearing that Citade
Who is gonna take CP’s spot at 8pm?
This sux.
No word on that yet. Will let you know as soon as I find out.
I hope it’s true!!!
No Grandy and Andy means no more WMAL!!
Jim, I respect your opinion but Chris Core has been in radio for over 35 years, and he basically cannot “suck ass”, as you point out, and yet be on radio for decades and decades. Perhaps your opinions and philosophy differs from his, but he’s a great guy who did a lot of good things on and for radio. He will be missed by his countless fans.
Thanks for the update.

Are you talking about George Noory? Lately he’s been a walking megaphone for the DNC talking points — he should just stick with alien abductions, ‘shadow people’ and issues from beyond the grave, and he’ll do just fine...
No problemo. I’m relieved.
I just realized that I’m going to have to start posting Plante’s discussion forums in the mornings now.... Gads....
Any possibility of picking up Batchelor in the evenings? I’m surprised they let Chris Core go. He seems to be the type of personality perfect for those listening in the mornings. Like Tom Gauger was in the olden days.
Remember last November, when Citidel got Imus, and we discussed this?
I wrote the station, and asked about Grandy and Andy, and Chris Core.
They emphatically said they would not be getting rid of Grandy and Andy, but said nothing about Chris Core.
Oh well.
I wonder if his views on CAIR got him, or his views on Illegal Immigration.
Yes, Core had that 1950’s hometown all-American boy effect... I will miss him, even though some days I just went “UGH!”... it’s just such a cut-throat business, Hokie...
I hadn’t thought of your Batchelor angle... that would be interesting...
What views on CAIR? I don’t think Core had or even carried an opinion on CAIR.
Oh, no biggie, Jim. I just really do feel bad for Core.
And you can say “ass” if you desire. You can say any word you want on this forum!
!@#$%&*+^ YOU! — (Just kidding!)
Thanks for the article on all of the nationwide firings, Raccoon! :-)
wow....feel like I’m on the corner in S.E. DC. All the vulgarity.
I think you are talking like that to me because I’m black.
Al Sharpton will be in contact with you.
The only thing Plante said on-air as he was closing his show was: “I’ll see you on Sunday afternoon and will also see you on Monday morning. Be there.”
That’s it.
Corner of S.E. DC? They talk like this (and sometimes worse) in Potomac and Bethesda too, dear! :-)
Sharpton is vulgar, too.
