CONFIRMED: Big Changes at Q104/Cleveland

UPDATE (5:55 PM 1/17/06): AllAccess confirms this item - first reported here on OMW - this afternoon. They also mention Popovich's other Cleveland radio background, at stations like oldies WMJI/105.7 and even at Q104's CBS Radio sister WDOK/102.1.

We remind OMW readers that Clear Channel hot AC competitor WMVX/106.5 recently got its own overhaul in the programming department, with the ascension of former Columbus programmer Don Hallett to the PD post there.

A reliable OMW source passes along this word:

CBS Radio hot AC WQAL/104.1 Cleveland is reportedly making some big changes. Our source tells us that program director Allan Fee is being replaced by a very familiar Cleveland radio name...Dave Popovich, who comes back to Cleveland from a gig programming Denver's KIMN. Popovich had an over 10-year run as program director of competitor 106.5, when the station was known as WLTF "Lite Rock 106 1/2".

The word is that Fee will continue co-hosting Q104's morning show with Rebecca Wilde, possibly until his contract ends later this year.

Developing, as Matt Drudge would say...
