Rick was a talk show host, not a newscaster. He was also probably close to retirement, with close to 40 years in broadcasting.Rick Dayton, afternoon news anchor at KDKA Pittsburgh... Clearly KDKA will still have newscasts in the afternoon. So where's the savings here?
I wouldn't assume they would have a beat reporter. I would wager there are fewer than 10 beat reporters who work for sportsradio stations across the whole country. Sports radio these days is about hot takes, not reporting.Mike Kadlick, WEEI-FM Boston beat reporter for New England Patriots... Won't a Boston all-sports station still have a Patriots beat reporter? Maybe the station will send a part time stringer for games and news events?
It appears David Simpson is taking over the shift. I think he's been with WCBS-FM but previously worked in Hartford. If he's with CBS-FM, then it will be voicetracked from NYC.Chuck Taylor, WRCH Hartford AC station afternoon DJ.... Surely WRCH, always rated #1 in Hartford, will still have an afternoon DJ. So where's the savings here?
Ask KNWN 1000, where they laid off all the reporters last year.KCBS San Francisco All-News, three reporters are dismissed... So how do you have an all-news station with three fewer reporters?
