OMW hinted a while back about the new local morning show on Clear Channel’s new Canton market AC outlet, WHOF/101.7 “My 101.7”. We now have the entire lineup.
Mornings will be “live and local” with AC veteran Gary Rivers handling wakeup duties.
Though we’re told Rivers had a brief stint in the 1990’s at WHOF’s main competitor, now NextMedia-owned AC outlet WHBC-FM/94.1 “Mix 94.1”, he’s recently been doing radio in the Central Ohio city of Marion.
After holding down mornings at Clear Channel AC WDIF/94.3 “Mix 94.3” there (hey, it’s only one channel off from his new competitor!), Rivers has been heard in the same time slot on a rather interesting low-power FM outlet that’s competing with WDIF – WDCM-LP 97.5, where he’s also been the station’s program director.
WDCM promotes itself as “Marion’s Community Radio Station”, and is owned by the U.S. Open Drum and Bugle Corps organization.
From its website, it looks like it operates much like its commercial competitor, with many of the usual features you’d expect from a commercial outlet. And Marion is small enough in area that the WDCM-LP signal has no trouble covering the city itself.
Here’s the rest of the “My 101.7” on-air lineup:
10 AM-2 PM – Daune Robinson (voicetracking in from the Clear Channel World Domination HQ on Oak Tree, where she is heard on country WGAR/99.5 and oldies WMJI/105.7)
2-7 PM – Jon Marochino (long-time swing/weekend guy for hot AC sister station WKDD/98.1)
7 PM-midnight – Sean Stevens (midday personality at Clear Channel Youngstown sister AC outlet WMXY/98.9 “Mix 98.9”)
OMW hears whispers from Freedom Avenue that this new on-air lineup will begin on Monday, February 5th…
