Cleveland Radio - No more Maxwell on WMMS?

• RedRider1

  

  Appears to be the case. Ohio Media Watch has an item on it, and it appears to be confirmed on the station manager's Twitter.
  
  Too bad, I know they dreaded the 2010 contract renew, afraid they wouldn't get a "fair" deal....and they talked about it a lot.
  
  One of the comments on the OMW post said he was offered a 6 figure salary and turned it down.
  
  That show had to have huge ratings, and brough in a ton of ad revenue, but with this economy and the way Clear channel has been operating lately (they didn't want to pay Matt Patrick supposedly) it's not a surprise.
  
  Good show they had going, it was good radio, informative and funny.
  
  Here's the OMW story/comments...and here's the station director's Twitter.

  That's too bad, Maxwell Show was hilarious, I know Rover had better ratings but that is mainly due to being a morning show (typically better ratings than afternoon shows).
  
  Rover's show is dull comparedly in my opinion and I like his show too.
  
  I wonder where Maxwell's show will land, he had talked from time to time that wherever he went Chunk and Stansbury would go with him anywhere he went.
  
  Hopefully they get syndicated back in Cleveland or they go to another Cleveland station.

  They replaced the show with Charlie and dumb from Rover's show. They were the sound effects guy and the other screened phone calls. The show started by playing Maxwell's old theme music and then they deleted it. They bashed Maxwell pretty good saying he should have a replace by taking 100 oxy-cotin. They also said he wasn't worth what he wanted. Then three planned callers called in and said how happy they were Maxwell is off and they are on. This show is going to be stupid. Hopefully Maxwell and Stansberry get back on their feet soon. I guess Chunk is still with the station.

  That show is great. Listened to them at work and on the way home everyday. I liked when Krackerman was on the show.

  Doesnt sound too professional from the replacements...usually when someone leaves they act like they never existed...sounds like these guys were all too quick to attack him.
  
  I hope they resurface too, but where....I'd imagine it can't be a Clear Channel owned station. And where else would their show fit?

  What about the comments on the OMW link about Melissa Mack leaving Fox 8? What's up with that?
