Toledo and Mansfield - The Sequel

Touching on the western edge of the OMW coverage area:

* AllAccess reports that long-time Toledo radio personality Denny Schaffer is heading south. The WSPD/1370 afternoon host, who's also been heard on "KISS FM" in that market, moves to Clear Channel Atlanta talker WGST/640, where he'll take the open midday slot starting in early October. Among other folks who've been heard in that slot - "The Regular Guys", a former Los Angeles team who returned to an FM morning gig in the Atlanta market recently, creating the opening. OMW notes that Denny's got a big job on his hands...the WGST midday slot is up against WSB/Cox/Jones superstar Neal Boortz, who basically owns Atlanta talk radio. When WGST ran Premiere's Glenn Beck up against Boortz, well, let's just say it wasn't pretty for Beck.

* The first confirmation that Mansfield "KISS FM" combo 98.3 and 107.7 are going to simulcast classic rock "The Fox" (WGLN/102.3 Galion) is on this new website for "The Fox Rock Network"...where 98.3 and 107.7 are now clearly visible on the new "Fox" logo...
