Ahead of the sale of 92.5 WINC-FM Winchester VA to Educational Media
Foundation, Centennial Broadcasting has begun the shift of the stations
format and brand.

104.9 WZFC Strasburg VA has dropped its simulcast of News/Talk 1400 WINC to
begin simulcasting WINC-FM. It joins 105.5 WXBN Berryville, which had
dropped its Country B105 programming shortly after the sale of WINC-FM was
announced last month. While the 104.9/105.5 simulcast will continue to
allow WINC-FM to serve the Winchester market, the station will lose its
large coverage over Northern Virginia, the West Virginia panhandle, and
parts of Maryland and Washington DC following the move.

Erich Mancow Muller will end his two year run in mornings at Cumulus Media
Conservative Talk 890 WLS Chicago on November 25.

Muller joined WLS at the end of 2018 after hosting mornings on defunct
Classic Rock 97.9 WLUP. He previously co-hosted 9-11am at WLS with Pat
Cassidy in 2008 and 2009. He is best known for his runs in mornings at
“Rock 103.5� WRCX from 1994-1998, Alternative “Q101� WKQX from 1998-2006,
and WLUP from 2015-2018. Earlier in his career he co-hosted mornings at
KBEQ Kansas City, KDON Salinas, and KYLD San Francisco and later hosted a
show for Talk Radio Network.

In explaining his departure, Muller told Robert Feder, “Much of the
enjoyment I had left doing radio has been sucked out of it. Alone in an
office building with no guests and endless rules is not my idea of a
creative process. . . . For me, no interaction has been the radio kiss of
death. Talking during this political season and hearing endless tales of
woe from my listeners has been radio without joy.� Mullers contract was set
to expire at the end of the year and Cumulus Media VP/Market Manager Marv
Nyren told Feder the decision was mutual and that neither side had
initiated negotiations on a contract renewal.

Two members of the Island 98.5 KDNN Honolulu morning show have been let go
after mocking a singers struggle with homelessness and childhood hunger
while growing up.

Slick Vic Harris and KreyZ Oshiro were hosting a radiothon for The Hawaii
Foodbank when after a story from musician Paula Fuga describing that she
dealt with homelessness and hunger as a child. Mocking her for eating out
of a trash can, Harris asked whether she ate right out of the can or put it
on a plate first. When she asked for tissues she was offered a trash can
just in case she was hungry. Fuga would walk off in tears stating Kids,
even as an adult, there will still be jerks who make fun of you and your
pain. I mean, what the hell is your problem? I’m so sad right now. I don’t
want to sing.�

Video of the segment is embedded below.



iHeartMedia and Fuga are going to work on a coordinated campaign that will
support a statewide mission to end hunger in Hawaii.

The third member of the KDNN morning show, Rory Wild, remains with the
station.
