Andy is permanent!

Already has. The official hand-off was during the 3p hour 3/21/18.
I hope Sky is OK and will find occasional opportunities to come back on air.
For those of you who don't know, he is also one of the former programming forces behind the late beloved WLUP, Chicago.
Pardon the snark, but is "permanent" the correct word for any job in radio? I work in public sector HR where it's hard to fire people, but even here, we prefer the term "regular" to "permanent."
Temporarily permanent would work, I suppose.
A lot of The Sound fans are clamoring for the rest of the old DJ crew to be hired, failing to realize Mimi and Andy have the requisite AAA background. I emailed Sky Daniels a few weeks ago and said I really don't need to ever hear anyone say "Whoo-ya" on 88.5!

Whoo-ya has a very special meaning to a very special station that existed at a very special place in time. As great as it was, KMET's time is gone. It has been gone since 1987. There are some people who have yet to get over this fact. To them I say it really is time to move on.
In the length of time passed, people seem to remember only the good things and not the bad. In 1986, KMET couldn't even get a decent morning show. I listened to Paraquat Kelley because I was a big Paraquat fan (making me one of dozens) but his act was not meant for morning drive and the ratings reflected as much. Rick Dees used to crack on Pat the same way Howard Stern would later crack on him, calling him "Kumquat Kelley" and wondering what he was doing on morning drive. And then there was the playlist. To say that they had lost their way is an understatement. They couldn't decide if they were "corporate rock" "K METAL" or a some sort of rock pop crossover. They were playing Cyndi Lauper records for God's sake. They needed the merciful ending they got.
