I just got an email this evening detailing the changes coming to the AM1500 schedule…
Insider Information
I am trying to be more diligent in giving you Insiders the inside story before it is out elsewhere,here is the weekday line-up effective upon the return from New Year’s holiday weekend:
Mid-4a…….. Coast-To-Coast AM (live)
4a-5:30a….. Wall Street Journal —This Morning (live)
5:30a-9a….. Willie Clark (live)
9a-11:50a…. Bob Davis (live)
11:50a-12:05p…Paul Harvey News &Comment
Noon-2p……. Ron Rosenbaum &Mark O’Connell (live)
2p-5:30p……Joe Soucheray (live)
5:30p-7:30p.. Tommy Mischke (live)
7:30p-10p….. Chris Krok (live)
10p-Mid………Hannity
Hmmm…Who is this Willie Clark guy? He will be conducting a morning-show that sets up the remainder of the AM1500 broadcast day. He is an observer of current events,pop culture,human behaviors and their intersection points. He is a baseball fan. He is a fearless self-deprecating radio personality. He is easily likeable. Willie will be heard covering a couple of fill-in shifts the last ten days of December.
Yes,we are seeking a partner/co-host to work with Willie. He has had great successes working with smart,verbal personalities with a natural interest in current events,pop culture,human behaviors and their intersection points. All candidates with those traits are welcome to contact me.
Notice that G.L. shifts back to its original start-time of 2pm and adds a rollicking half-hour AM1500-only segment (not available on The Network). It is only fitting that an unconventional shift-change time would involve Mischke,the most unconventional personality on Twin Cities radio.
The tough part of this transition period is drawing to a close as we enter the exciting part:having some fun on the radio every day,all day.
Thanks for your patience.

am1500 KSTP “The Talk Station”
Summary: After driving away their anchor show with bad program scheduling,they dig an even deeper hole by moving the already poorly placed Hannity into the late-night hours. KSTP thinks they are obtaining revenge on Clear Channel,when all they are doing is pissing on their loyal listenership and digging an even deeper hole.
