Radio and Records Online, and other trade sites, report that Cleveland Infinity alt-rock WXTM/92.3 morning dog "Rover" has nabbed another current Howard Stern affiliate for the post-Stern era... and it's not an Infinity-owned station.
Rover will premiere January 3rd on current Stern affiliate KPNT/St. Louis, which is owned by Emmis. It's his second non-Infinity station...Clear Channel owned WMAD/Madison WI was one of the first two affiliates for his syndicated effort out of WXTM.
As reported here and elsewhere, "Rover's Morning Glory" will move its base from WXTM in January, and will be based at new flagship Infinity FM talk WCKG/Chicago, one of the company's FM talkers which has been rebranded under the "Free FM" name. Rover and his doggie pals will continue to be heard on WXTM after the move to Chicago. They'll also be heard on a few Infinity FM stations not taking Stern replacements David Lee Roth or Adam Carolla, in markets including Detroit, Cincinnati, Rochester and Memphis.

With Howard gone, does this mean, at least in the Akron area, that Bob and Tom (WRQK in Canton) are poised to make a run for ratings? It is good radio. It has a minimum a chuckle an hour, which is more than I can say about a lot of other morning programs. My a.m. radio fall backs are NPR or 91.3 The Summit.
