quote:
McConnell said he and his family are practicing Catholics and that he was approached by the radio station to do the show after Entercom affiliate 3WL laid him off in January. But he said his two-hour block, which last week featured a doctor who specializes in ALS, apparently wasn’t religious enough for the station’s management.
“I don’t know. … I don’t think they knew what they wanted,” he said. “We should have been evangelizing the whole time, but they asked us to be ourselves. I’m doing what I did for the last 10 years, what made me a top radio host.
“We were prepared to expand the religion aspect of the show,” he said. “You want something different? Let’s sit down and talk about it.”
Kind of feel bad for the guy, but maybe he needs to try a new line of work.

Agree.
I think the lack of competition in the market confuses the "radio personalities" into thinking they have a legit following.
A clear channel station in a market where the rest of the stations are broadcasting from broom closets
is always going to have " a good book".
WWL could broadcast dead air and they'd win the book.
