That Triv Overnight Marathon

It's been hinted at before, but we now have a day for that all-night marathon that'll be hosted by WTAM/1100 Cleveland afternoon drive motormouth Mike Trivisonno.

The show announced on-air that Thursday will be the day when Triv and company don't slide out of the studio at 6:45 or so, to make way for "Triv Flashbacks" for the last 15 minutes of the show. No, they'll start at their usual 3:10 PM, after news and Paul Harvey's "Rest of the Story", and won't relinquish their perch at the Oak Tree Clear Channel World Domination HQ until Bill Wills shows up for the 5 AM start of his Friday show.

It sounded like the entire show's staff would be present, including producers Marty Allen and Paul Rado, newly minted sidekick Alison (now officially credited in Triv's liners as "The Hot Chick"), and traffic anchor Pat Butler. We're not sure if current afternoon sports update anchor Mark Schwab is also in for the overnight duration on Thursday.

We also believe the broadcast involves raising money for charity of some sort, though we didn't catch the name of the charity, and it's not on WTAM's web site...
