There were no billboards about Denny Schaffer. Clear Channel had billboards all over Atlanta and North Georgia for their radio station that catered to the illegals, but nothing for their regular stations. <BR/><BR/>Couple that with the arrival of Randall Bloomquist to WGST after Denny was hired, and it's obvious as to why Denny was gone after 1 year. Bloomquist set out to destroy the station by replacing local hosts Tom "The King" Hughes and Kim "The Kimmer" Peterson, along with Denny with cheaper, syndicated programming. True, Bloomquist does not get all the blame for WGST's demise, but he deserves the majority of it. On blogs for Atlanta radio, Randall Bloomquist has become known as the Colonel Klink of Atlanta radio.<BR/><BR/>The biggest question that always arises about Bloomquist and WGST is why does that station need a progam director when it only has 1 local show in its entire weekly schedule.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure Brian will test the waters with the Baltimore gig. If it's a success, look for Denny to return to WSPD. Just my 2 cents!!firebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117238535778545290noreply@blogger.com
