The duo took-over the PM Drive shift last May replacing Garry Meier. Unfortunately, Leff and Snyder took- over a time slot on WGN, which mishandled the Meier situation. According to Chicagoland Radio&Media, Meier's departure alienated a large portion of its audience and afternoon ratings fell dramatically.
In an odd twist, as bad as Leff and Snyder's ratings fell, they were still well above those of Roe Conn's at WLS 890 AM, who now replaces them.
Starting January 26th, Leff and Snyder will move back to middays, almost exactly where they were before they were shifted to afternoons. However, for now, it appears their hours are being cut back. They previously did a three-hour midday show, now they will be down to just two hours 10:00am-Noon.
This means that John Williams' 10:00am-Noon daily show is being canceled. Starting February 7th, John Williams will move to Saturday, hosting the Noon-3:00pm. Williams will continue to do his show most weeks from the Minneapolis studios of WCCO 830 AM, where he has a full-time afternoon job.
In order for Williams to move to weekends, that means a vacancy must be created. According to CRM, WGN management has decided to cancel the highly-regarded Saturday show of WGN-AM veteran Bill Moller.
