LOL! Not only Valerie Smaldone, I think WLTW basically ended replacing their whole staff, replacing them with cheaper talent, and added their own syndication product, Delilah.
ANd WLTW is one of the top revenue generators for the company.
Indeed the turnover was quite extensive. I singled out Ms. Smaldone because she was one of the most popular personalities in the Tri-State area. Matthew Flamm's 2008 article in Crain's New York Business sums things up fairly well: Valerie Smaldone leaving Lite FM.
