Kelly Kibler, Don Davis, Dan O'Malley and Alfie Coy - OUT at iHeart

[MarkW]

My take:

I think iHM is looking to reduce management headcount in general and also looking to place its highest performers in its most important regions.

Mr. Corvino is now responsible for a significantly larger pool of assets than was the case in Detroit, where 4 of 5 FMs are in darn good shape (and even the laggard probably isn't performing all that badly).

If 93.3 doesn't go active rock, then Catlin needs to be fired. lol.



I mean, COME ON!

Only worth doing if KEGL flips. And right now that’s still unclear, at least publicly.

Cumulus does Active Rock better than iHeart does so it would be a net gain for Dallas if things did go that way.

What would more money for Cumulus? A Top 40 that exists as cluster combo buy with their Country stations to help keep KHKS-FM down in the money demos or something whose demos are completely overlapped with the Ticket? Potential format holes and cluster sales demo holes are not always the same.

Yes. Mooooooo

NO WAY! I worked there.

I was probably listening

Most of you it appears are going to be very disappointed at the end result if what I'm hearing is the end result for KEGL. But it appears to have been enough to get Davis to walk away.

Disappointed in what they're flipping to, or disappointed there won't be a change at all?

In reality, what’s going to happen to The Eagle?

If I had to guess the latter. Early in this thread there were the sports talk rumors. If I had to guess, they’ll plug in sports talk hosts to fill vacant hole. But, it would be beyond foolish for 97.1 to flip. Literally, I feel like I can go in there myself and fix the issues. Where can I apply?

I tend to agree. Bad radio has nine lives in this market.
