Yeah, lots of changes made that don't make sense. Only explanation is the cronyism that seems to be the obvious reason.
I just checked Larz site and as I guessed, the multiple I hate WGN/Cochran threads are in full steam.

Isn't his wife on there, too? Did they keep her? I saw the two of them on PBS a few months ago doing an interview show. They got Gloria Estefan on the worst looking set I've seen since my days at WILL-TV in Champaign. I was thinking to myself, "Self, how did they get Gloria Estefan on this cable-access looking show?" And then it came out that Marianne and Gloria went to high school together. |

Fearless prediction... the return of Kathy & Judy. Kathy O'Malley announced she is moving back to the city after 10 years away. |

The press release Larz got says Cochran till 10, then Bill and Wendy 10 to noon/1 to 3. I'd say "please no Kathy and Judy," but what do I care, I'm not listening to WGN during the day anyway. |

Cochran and de Castro are thick as thieves. Cochran could often be heard on the air criticizing the amount of vacation time Sirott & Murciano had. He would pass it off as one of his jokes but kept pounding on them for the better part of a year. Not surprised they are gone. |

Isn't Cochran on the Steve Dahl Attendance Plan where he routinely shows up late to his own show? |

The entire WGN lineup is awful. Great idea to get rid of Garry when he was 'GN's highest rated show and I believe was the #1 afternoon show. |

DeCastro had to clear the decks for Roe Conn. Oops. The ascension of Steve Cochran perplexes me. He seemed like a nice enough, dad-jokey kind of guy, perfect for the 1-to-4-when-the-Cubs-don't-play time slot. They offered him morning drive when Spike retired and he didn't take it, then the Randy Michaels regime fired him to bring in a doofus from Cincitucky, which failed, of course. Toiled at 560 for a couple years, allegedly (who listens to 560?!?!?!?!?!?!), and then came back as the king of WGN. Weird. |
