Without warning, dropped Don Imus' nationally syndicated "Imus In The Morning" show this week for a local music show.
"We went back to music 6-9 a.m. We have looked at doing it for a while to be more consistent with what we do all day -- playing the hits," says Tony Bender, program director and new morning DJ.
Listener response so far has been 50-50, he said. "As with any change you make, Imus fans were not happy. But I am getting good feedback from listeners being able to hear music in the morning," Bender said.
Imus fans can hear the show streaming through the from his WABC-AM affiliate in New York, or by downloading the app on a phone or tablet. Imus has been on and off Greater Cincinnati radio over the past 20 years on AM 1230 and 910.
