…and Diane Smith, according to this article in the Courant. Is this more evidence of the decline of Old Media or an attempt to do something else, which would be to slightly de-politicize the station, perhaps?
Steve Salhany, operations manager at [parent company] CBS Radio/Hartford, said the new lineup was intended to help provide listeners with the political and economic information they need, as well as a vehicle to voice their opinions on important issues.
“We believe increasing our live news coverage and providing listeners with more ways to interact with the station is the right direction for WTIC to be moving as we all look for ways to better adapt to the changing business environment,” Salhany said.
I’ll be curious to see what Ms. Smith and Mr. McEnroe do next. In particular I’m tempted to think McEnroe will fare quite well on his own should he wish to develop his own punditry brand. I think he needs to go out and register colinmcenroe.com before someone squats on it.
