Chicago Radio: WGN 720 AM Deals With Meier Pushback

Gary Meier

WGN 720 AM's decision to move Gary Meuer from PM Drive to WGN.FM is meeting negative pushback from listeners.

WGN-AM's Facebook page has been overrun with negative comments, as has this website's message board.

According to the Chicago media website CRM, WGN-AM attempted to calm down the furor over its treatment of Garry Meier's show by posting up a comical photo on its Facebook page this afternoon. Instead, the "joke" bombed and only added more fuel to the raging fire. Most found it unfunny, while some went as far as to call it "rude," an "insult," and "tacky."

Some went as far as to say they were now done with WGN-AM completely because of it.

As for Meier himself, he clearly was not a fan of the decision to move his show to little-heard Internet station, WGN.FM, but said "I don't own the station. That how things happen."
