Krok fired, Cain goes full time
Chris Krok has been fired by WSB:
Chris Krok is gone from WSB-AM after two years as a night-time host. He had been groomed to be a possible replacement for either Clark Howard or Neal Boortz if either chose to step down. But that was clearly not to be.But Herman Cain will be going on the air five days a week:Krok, whose last job was in Minneapolis, focused intensely on local issues and was big on the anti illegal discrimination front, holding two raucous public rallies earlier this year.
Pete Spriggs confirmed Wednesday afternoon that Krok is out. He said Herman Cain, a black conservative talk show host who airs a weekly show on Saturday for WSB and subs for Boortz, will start a night-time talk show five days a week on January 2. Spriggs wouldn’t say exactly what his time frame will be, probably because it will likely affect Michael Savage, now on air from 7 to 10. For the next month, WSB-AM wil air a “best of” Clark Howard from 10 to midnight and “best of” Sean Hannity from midnight to 2.There was no explanation of why Krok was fired, but congrats to Herman.

I always thought Krok kind of sucked. He always seemed to be trying to play to what he thought his audience would like, instead of what he actually thought about things. I don't think you can do that and come across anything other than fake.

I wish they would have fired Michael Savage too. Some talk show host can say things that make their audience furious, and still be loved by listeners. On WSB, Hannity can. Boortz can. Savage can't. Krok... I guess not.
