Casey Hendrickson is this week's guest host on WOWO's afternoon show. And from what the Maven heard, Casey had a great day. Of course, it helps that Casey is the morning man on a FedMed sister station in the South Bend market, but he did the best, to date, of any of the others trying out for the position.
Mr. Hendrickson sounded engaging and conversational, treated callers with respect, and did his homework about the hot topics of the day.
If WOWO decides to hire Mr. Hendrickson for the gig, it's a wise move. Obviously they will have someone who they believe will do a good job, plus, since he's already a FedMed employee there's a cost-savings to them as well. Thanks to technology, there is no reason why Casey can't conclude his South Bend morning show, take a long lunch, and then go back into the same studio and perform on WOWO in the afternoon, all for a cost far less than hiring another full time employee. Smart move.
In spite of Gregg "the hacksaw" Henson's admonishment to me to not listen to "his g*d-damn radio station" .... I think I'll be back tomorrow.
Casey Hendrickson just might be the one to lead WOWO afternoons back to respectable numbers and revenue.
I just ran across this post by accident, and I appreciate the kind words. Hope you are still listening to me.
ReplyDeleteFor the record, the guy in charge now is the best news man I've ever worked with, and headed WOWO some years ago with great success. It's a slow process, but WOWO will regain former glory.

Thanks for the comment, Casey. I have heard some refinements and look forward to future improvements. Best of luck to you.
