With one week in the books, WROW's new lineup has some positives, as well as, unfortunately, some negatives, at least in the short term.
Gone, at least for now, are sports scores & lottery numbers. Ben Patten only reads the news at the top of each hour between 5 & 9 am (ET). Gone as well are daily discussions with WRGB AM meteorologist Alyssa Caroprese, and local businessman Mark Cifarelli, whose 2010 Auto Sales remains a sponsor of Magic 100.5 FM/AM 590, who was heard 3 times a week. I'm guessing those chats may have been moved to Patten's solo shift at 10 am. The daily birthday list is gone as well. Caroprese's pre-recorded forecasts begin playing around 10 am.
Jaime Roberts introduced two new features on January 6. The Social Media Dilemma is an interactive segment between 7 & 8 am. The One-Hit Wonder of The Day, at 6:45 am, features an artist who had that one shining moment of fame (i.e. Carl Douglas, Five Stairsteps) on the charts. The Social Media Dilemma replaces The Almost Impossible Question.
This morning, Roberts filled in (we think) for John Gabriel from 7-9 am. We don't know if that's permanent. Albany Street host Bill Williams' profile page was taken down from the website, likely for an update. However, the schedule page hasn't been updated in some time, since Madison Wealth Managers' weekly show now airs on Sundays as well as Saturdays.
