...and I'm crushed. From dcrtv.com:
Confirmed: Westwood One To Discontinue O'Meara - 7/14 - DCRTV's reported rumblings that the Mike O'Meara (right) show will not only be yanked from CBS's WJFK when it flips to sports talk later this month, but will also no longer be syndicated nationwide by Westwood One. Now we hear this from the Facebook of KCJJ in Iowa City, Iowa, a longtime "Don And Mike Show" and Mike O'Meara affiliate in Iowa City: "We received notice from Westwood One that the Mike O'Meara will be rerun for the next 30 days and then will be no more. KCJJ is hopeful the show will be able to find a new home soon and be available to us again. A special goodbye segment that was taped earlier may be run this Friday. We will carry the show until the network stops sending it. CBS Radio sucks. And they can go to hell. And they suck!".....
O'Meara's Taped Farewell To Air 3 Times Friday - 7/15 - DCRTV gets confirmation that Mike O'Meara did tape a short farewell message that will air on his final WJFK (106.7 FM) show on Friday. It'll run at the start of the 3 PM show, at 5 PM, and again at 7 PM, at the end of the show. O'Meara's show is in reruns this week, and he is away, on vacation. DCRTV hears that O'Meara remains under contract to JFK's owner, CBS Radio, at least through the end of 2009. No word about the employment fates of his longtime afternoon drive crew - Robb Spewack, Buzz Burbank, Beth Ann McBride, and Joe Ardinger.....
Me again. I hope he gets picked up by somebody else. I listen to the whole 4 hour show (minus commercials) every morning via podcast. Big Bummer.
