Longtime Detroit rock radio personality Doug Podell has exited his post at classic rock station WCSX 94.7 FM.
The Detroit News reports a representative for Beasley Broadcast Group confirmed the news Wednesday.
It’s not clear if Podell, who has worked as program director and on-air talent for both WCSX and active rock station WRIF, was let go or quit. Podell, who also hosts local rock video show Rock 900 on Tuesday evenings on Comcast Channel 900, could not be reached for comment.
A Twitter profile for the Drew & Mike Podcast — “Drew & Mike” were WRIF’s morning show for years —commented on the news Tuesday evening.
“Sorry to hear Doug Podell is out at WCSX,” the tweet said. “How many can name anyone on their air staff now?”
According to wcsx.com, Juline Jordan is on air 10 a.m.-3 p.m. and Dave Dahmer is on 3-7 p.m. weekdays. The morning show is Big Jim’s House, airing 6-10 a.m. weekdays.
Once again radio looses a giant, a great talent, Doug was and always will be a cherished Icon! THE COMPETITION SHOULD HURRY AND GET HIM NOW!( G.0.)
