| WIBC's Daisy & Mockarena |
WIBC-FM 93.1 conducted a nationwide talent search for its
afternoon drive-time slot, which has been without a regular host since March.
In the end, the city's top-rated talk station decided to fill the opening from
within.
According to the Indianapolis Business Journal, Miriam Weaver and Amy Jo Clark will move
into 4-to-6 p.m. weekday period later this month. The time slot previously hosted by former standup comedian Ed
Wenck. Wenck early this year joined the sales staff of Emmis Communications
sister station WFNI-AM 1070/FM 107.5 “The Fan.”
Since April, the women, known on-air as Daisy and Mockarena, have hosted the “Chicks on the Right”show on Saturday afternoons. Moving to
five days a week “will be a complete career shift for them,” said WIBC Program
Director David Wood. He said Weaver’s day job is in human resources and
recruiting, while Clark is a medical writer at
Eli Lilly and Co.
WIBC’s current female conservative voice, Dana Loesch, who
follows Rush Limbaugh at 3 p.m. and originates from Emmis’ KFTK-FM in St. Louis .
Late afternoons on WIBC once were the province of comedian
Dave “The King” Wilson, whom Emmis axed in 2009 as part of budget cuts.
He was replaced by station veteran Steve Simpson, who soon
was transferred to mornings as part of a broader talent reshuffling.
