I'm referring to WROW, aka Magic 590 AM/100.5 FM, here in the 518, where change has become a buzzword in a more positive light in recent weeks.
Mid-day host Chris O'Neill left after his broadcast on October 14. While nothing was written publicly about the departure, it must be assumed his contract expired or was non-renewed. Veteran John Gabriel, who returned to WROW weeks earlier as a Saturday morning drive host, returned to afternoon drive on October 17, with Candace Curby moving into O'Neill's mid-day slot.
But, oh, if that ain't all....! (apologies to Gary US Bonds)
John Tesh (ex-Entertainment Tonight) a 6-time Emmy winner as a journalist, and a 4 time Grammy winner as a pianist, launched his current radio show as a weekend entry in 1999. Today, The John Tesh Radio Show, with its flexible format, airs weeknights, and fits any station's format.
Tesh added WROW to his affiliate network on Monday, as a surprise Halloween treat from WROW to their listeners. He's recorded air checks for his new affiliate, which, in turn, continues to program the primetime hours as it has for a few years now. Tesh has the 7-midnight (ET) slot, at least on weeknights. Saturdays? We'll know for sure this weekend.
Magic 590 will have pre-programmed music, with no on-air host, from midnight-5:30 weeknights, and 12-7 and 10-5:30 on Sundays, unless there are more changes. Programming can be accessed on Magic 590's website.
