Gainesville Radio: WSKY Adds, Drop Talk Shows

WSKY 97.3 FM The Sky  has picked up three nationally syndicated conservative talk show hosts recently dropped by FM 99.5 when it switched to electronic dance music.

According to The Gainesville Sun, The Sky now airs the Sean Hannity Show from 3-6 p.m. weekdays, the Laura Ingram show from 10 a.m. to noon weekdays and The Savage Nation with Michael Savage from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. weekdays.

The station dropped Jerry Doyle and the Herman Caine show with guest host Neal Boortz to make room for the changes.

Program Director Nick Allen said he does not plan to pick up the local show Talk of the Town, although he said hosts Ward Scott and Jake Fuller "did a great job."

Local host Bob Rose handles the station's morning show.

"He's been on the air longer than those guys and does a fantastic job talking about issues that are important in Gainesville," Allen said. "Bob is also involved in Ocala, so he has the broad region perspective that is very important on The Sky."

WBXY FM 99.5 switched from talk to electronic dance music May 31.
