WOWO Afternoons Getting Interesting

According to a post from Zach Bonahoom on his Facebook page, Zach will be heard in the 3-6pm time slot on WOWO 1190 beginning Wednesday and continuing through the following Tuesday. Zach states that he is being "tested", or auditioned for the time slot, and if he does well, he may have a show "long term". 

What Zach may or may not know, is that WOWO is also going to give an audition to Matt Kelty for that time slot, according to a person with knowledge of the situation, but not authorized to speak about it publicly. 
Look for Kelty to appear after Mr. Bonahoom's turn at bat. 
What this means is that WOWO apparently felt quite a bit of  pressure from audience and advertisers to continue it's tradition of a locally-based, conservative-oriented talk show in it's 3-6pm time slot. 

This development also means that Fort Wayne and WOWO listeners will be spared from hearing Gary Snyder (AKA Henson's Revenge) during the daylight hours. The Maven has not listened to Mr. Snyder on his current 9pm-midnight show, as the reruns of "Deadliest Catch" on the Discovery channel have been far, too compelling. 

As with anything WOWO does, the Maven will watch and wait.
