Drew Sharp
More changes at WMGC 105.1 FM:
Matt Dery and Free Press columnist Drew Sharp are out as the afternoon drive-time duo at the Detroit sports station, Bill Shea of Crain's Detroit Business reports. They're replaced in the 2-6 p.m. slot by former Detroit Pistons player Lindsey Hunter and station program director Dave Shore.
The change, first reported Friday by Tony Paul in The Detroit News, was confirmed Monday.
Shea writes:
The station has made other lineup changes as it lags well behind CBS Radio Inc.-owned market leader WXYT 97.1 FM, which dominates local ratings because it has the rights to Detroit Tigers and Red Wings play by play broadcasts.
WMGC in February moved Sean Baligian, Tom Mazawey and Marc Fellhauer from midday to the 6-10 a.m. morning drive-time slot in place of ESPN’s nationally syndicated “Mike and Mike.” The local trio previously occupied a noon-3 p.m. slot.
