But when Darcell returns to the Detroit airwaves on March 4,
she’ll also be working as the afternoon-drive host on Philadelphia’s WDAS-FM.
She said the format for her new simulcast show is still
being worked out, but she plans to address topics of interest in Detroit and
Philadelphia, as well as national issues.
“I hope that I’ve played a part in Detroit’s renaissance,
and I plan to keep playing that role,” she told the Free Press.
“There’s a lot going on in Michigan, and I’m going to be engaged in that conversation.”
Tony Travatto, vice president of programming for Clear
Channel in Detroit, said in an e-mail: “Frankie is an engaging on-air
personality who had many fans within the Detroit community, and we are very
pleased to have her on air in both cities.”
She departed the airwaves two months ago amid a wave of
layoffs at Clear Channel radio stations around the country. In Detroit, the
broadcasting giant owns WMXD, WDFN-AM (1130), WDTW-FM (106.7), WJLB-FM (97.9),
WKQI-FM (95.5) and WNIC-FM (100.3).
Darcell said the relationships she built with listeners
played a role in bringing her back to radio.
