I was hoping my buddy Jeff Meade was wrong.
I was shocked to read his column in today’s Evening News (http://www.monroenews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090120/MEADESPTSCOL/101209974) and discover that sports talk radio WDFN was planning to drop all of its local programming.
I’ve enjoyed having two sports talk stations in Detroit. When one got boring, you could switch to the other. I’ve always believed that WXYT was a poor imitation of WDFN. That said, some of the WDFN programming had gotten stale.
I wouldn’t have minded losing the other local shows, if the station had kept the “Stoney and Wojo” show in the afternoon. Those two had the most entertaining sports talk show in Detroit. Perhaps they will show up somewhere else.
