Death hoaxes

Fri 10/23/15: ?

I missed the show this morning (I was listening briefly an hour before the show was to air -- they were playing The Beatles "Revolution"). 

I was waiting to hear tonight's replay, but apparently the station changed formats as of noon (Wisconsin time)! 

They now are "Jack FM" (similar to "Bob FM"), an "Adult Hits" format with no DJs.  I guess they fired all the DJs...

R.I.P. The Drive of Wisconsin -- don't know if the new station will do a 10@10, 9@9, whatever...

ETA: I wonder if the guy who did the 10@10 (David Louis) knew the station was changing formats, so he went with the "death hoax" theme set.  Clever!

ETA: Well, he actually emailed me back!  He said he went out with Foreigner and had Lou Gramm call in.  33 years on the air, and now he's doing sales...
