Clear Channel Sucks.

Clear Channel Sucks. Clear Channel Sucks. Clear Channel Sucks. Clear Channel Sucks. Clear Channel Sucks. Clear Channel Sucks. Clear Channel Sucks.

Did I mention, Clear Channel Sucks? WDFN, Detroit’s beloved Local Sports Radio Station was completely wiped out yesterday by Clear Channel (who sucks, btw). The only Detroit Clear Channel station (of the 7 they own here) that laid off any employees. They wiped out the entire staff. Gone, no notice, nothing. Countless listeners and devoted fans such as myself, are left in disarray. Who do I listen to now? Where do I get my local sports fix? Fox Sports Radio broadcasting on my local station now? You can Die In a Fire, Clear Channel.

I recorded a theme song for the morning show “It Is What It Is” with host Sean Baligean a couple years back. They loved it, and it’s been in daily rotation for two years + until today. Sean is likely the most honest and fair sports reporter I’ve ever known. Level headed, not overly cynical, but doesn’t kiss butt at all. Would never play up to coaches or players to get on their good side. He simply told it like it was, and made no apologies for it. He represented everything that radio should, and could be, if done right.

Stoney and Wojo, the comical duo of Detroit Sports over the last decade or so, are now defunct. Thanks Clear Channel, you can choke on a chicken bone for all I care. Stoney and Wojo made my evening drive on Detroit Freeways tolerable and often times, fun. Ok, Wojo had a tendency to be whiny and annoying, but more often than not, the show was good. Thanks for the “Eat em Up Tigers” song on Jam It or Slam It. That turned into a classic. I can proudly say, I didn’t have anything to do with that.

Diesel, Otto, Marty, Spicolli, Shep, and anyone else. We’ll miss you. God Bless, and I hope you all land on your feet somewhere. Hopefully, some of you land on 97.1 FM and displace the crapfest that graces their airwaves all too often.

RIP to WDFN
