Thank you to the loyal readers of Crossing Broad for informing us that 94 WIP is teasing a “major announcement” for Wednesday at 3 p.m.

Confirmation also here via tweet:

I do not know what it is. My hunch is that they’re ready to announce the new midday show lineup, but it would make sense to do that during… the midday show, so I am not entirely sure (unless one of the afternoon guys is moving). The rumor going around is that Joe Giglio is in the driver’s seat to replace Joe DeCamara from 10 to 2, but they were apparently looking for a second host to replace Jon Ritchie. Hugh Douglas’ name came up, which I believe was first reported by Jeff Blumenthal at the Philadelphia Business Journal.

Just rumors though! I don’t have any confirmation one way or another.

The other thing floating around is that Johnny Marks is currently working without a contract, so there may be a resolution on that front. I’m not sure a contract renewal would qualify as a “major announcement,” but who knows. Keep in mind that if Giglio moves, then they need to replace him on the evening shift, so you see how promoting from within creates a cascade effect. Joe and Jon going to mornings left the midday show empty, and then if Giglio gets middays, that leaves evenings empty, and then if they give evenings to some weekend person or whatever, then someone new has to do weekends. It never ends!

I’ll listen to WIP today to see if I can pull the audio of the tease that’s playing. I will send some text messages as well. We’ll put 20% effort into finding out what this announcement is and spend the other 80% on Minshew Mania and fighting this god damn sinus infection. You should see the stuff coming out of my nose, or not.
