The Chronicle‘s David Barron reports that sports talk station KILT-610 has settled on a new lineup after recent turnover:
Marc Vandermeer and Andre Ware, the Texans radio network’s play by play tandem, will expand their partnership to weekdays as hosts of KILT’s (610 AM) morning show beginning Tuesday, the station announced today.
The new morning show will air from 6 to 11 a.m., followed by the syndicated Jim Rome show from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the new afternoon team of Rich Lord and Matt Jackson from 2 to 6 p.m. Adam Wexler will continue as the evening host from 6 to 10 p.m., to be joined by a co-host to be named later.
The shakeup was necessitated by the departure of longtime morning show host John Granato, who will join the reformatted KILE (1560 AM) later this year, and co-host Lance Zierlein’s decision not to accept a contract extension while exploring his career options.
Presumably, Zierlein will eventually be moving across to join Granato on KILE-1560 to reestablish their successful morning partnership.
KILT obviously benefits from the Rome show, but it may be hard for those new morning and afternoon lineups to hold an audience.
