CBS alt-rock/talk WXRK/92.3 “K-Rock” morning host Shane “Rover” French has just lost another affiliate.
Emmis St. Louis alt-rocker KPNT/105.7 “The Point” dumped Cleveland-based “Rover’s Morning Glory” after this morning’s airing, just a couple of hours or so ago.
OMW hears that the station proclaimed that “Rover is Over” just minutes after the end of the show at 10 AM St. Louis time, and played supposed listener calls with such choice comments as “shoot the dog!”.
“The Point” has already put up the web page for Rover’s replacement, something called “The “Fandango Experiment”…hosted by former KPNT air personality Donnie Fandango returning to the station for morning drive:
MOVE OVER, ROVER – FOR THE FANDANGO EXPERIMENT

The new local show starts Monday.
