The hosts -- who are independent contractors (outside of condon) -- would be the last to know .. They obviously wanted their December rent checks from them .. plus .. they didn't want to give them a week of bashing the station and boo hoo shows either .. this sounds like a typical format change to me ... I like jimmy .. could take or leave songy .. but both of those guys have had 20+ years to advance their careers and haven't .. for a number of reasons ... condon is no longer bringing in ratings or ad $$$ either ... that whole thing was just allowed by the various stations over the years and both Ott and Songy to get stale ... it is time for them to move on .. If true ... Best of luck to them both ...

Kinda seemed like Ott really gave up upon his return to 1210 after 1300 went belly up. He just seemed perfectly content to fill his time slot bullshitting with his friends for a few hours. Maybe he just knew that time slot was shite. He's still the best out of all the 1210 guys and is capable of putting together a good show when he gives a damn. I'd be all for him having a morning show on 104.5, but he's apparently not too popular around there.

Now there's going to be some pissed off old rantards come Tuesday with no Songy. Only buddy would give them a 20 minute platform to voice their stupidity uninterrupted.
