Big Shake Ups In Wake Ups: Thompson Retires; Jeffreys Joins KFOG; Zakk Is Back In Chicago

THE MOUTH, JUNE 14TH, 2012 –– After 25 years, Mark Thompson, one half of the beloved KLOS morning duo, Mark and Brian, has decided to call it quits and make North Carolina his permanent home. In an interview yesterday with LARadio's Don Barrett, he said at his new house on Lake Norman (near Charlotte) he has a studio and he’ll be available for occasional work, but he’s ready to quit doing the two person show. He said he made the decision about a year ago under GM Bob Moore and PD Bob Buchmann, but waited until Cumulus started to show interest. "We had a three-year plan to slowly transition from California to there," Thompson said. "Once the moving truck moved the last of his belongings, we finally were at the end of our three-year plan. We're here. We now live in North Carolina," said Thomson. In the meantime, Phelps plans to continue in mornings. ––––– In other morning shakeups, after just two weeks, KFOG San Francisco pulls the plug on Tony Longo, part of the just launched, Tony, Greg and Melanie morning show. Prompted by a social media backlash, PD Dennis Constantine went on the air yesterday morning to confess "it quickly became obvious that the show we created wasn't a good fit for KFOG. So I am here to tell you that we made a mistake." Filling Longo's spot will be longtime bay area host Tim Jeffreys who most recently handled mornings at KUFX. Reportedly, Longo will return to his morning show at Z-ROCK/Lexington, KY. ––––– The final major market move happened in Chicago, where Zakk Tyler returned to the Loop. He'll also be heard on Merlin Media FM News 101.9 MHz, New York City and FM News 101.1, Chicago to handle sports.

GLOVES OFF: Stern To Jim Rome "Have You Stopped Beating Your Wife Yet?" [AUDIO]

THE MOUTH, JUNE 14TH, 2012 –– Things turned ugly yesterday during Jim Rome's interview with NBA commissioner David Stern. The CBS Sport's Network host asked him if the New Orleans Hornets winning the draft lottery was fixed. "I know that you appreciate a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy .. was the fix in for the lottery?" asked Rome. An obviously stunned Stern replied: "I have two answers for that. The simple, easy one, NO; the second, shame on you for asking." Rome countered by saying he thought it was his job to ask because people wonder. "No, it's ridiculous, but that's OK," Stern said. He then quipped: "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" Rome, who has not history of spousal abuse, answered saying "I don't think that's fair." Stern later called Rome's comment a cheap trick. "You've been successful in making a career of it, and I keep coming on." "Making a career of it? Making a career of what? What? Cheap thrills?" demanded Rome. "Now you're getting mad. You're taking on the world and now Jim Rome is pouting," Stern jabbed. Rome fired back:"I'm not pouting. I'm taking offense." LISTEN TO AUDIO

I was the guy that wanted to reach across the TV and slap the dog crap out of you," said Webb. He later added: "I think you're a piece of scum." Hayes tried explaining his comments saying he takes his platform seriously and decries the kind of conversation where people use that platform to call people scum.

JACOBS STUDY: Sports Fans Like To Tweet

THE MOUTH, JUNE 13TH, 2012 –– According to Jacobs Media President Fred Jacobs, “Sports radio fans are highly engaged, into gadgets, and especially likely to be connected via Twitter. They know how to access the sports news and happenings they crave, and they deftly use the available tools. Radio needs to work hard to be their go-to medium.” Here are some key takeaways about Sports radio listeners: It’s a Twitter world: While Facebook and LinkedIn are popular social media channels, Sports Talk fans lead the league for tweeting. Of those who use this platform, more than half follow a Sports Talk radio station and/or personality on Twitter. Relationships matter: The email club and Facebook fan page are major drivers in stronger listener/station connections, but Twitter is a major player, too. Net promoter scores lag: Sports Talk fans are near the bottom when it comes to fan recommendation and time spent listening, an indication that their consumers depend on a variety of media sources to keep up to date. In fact, “first occasions” in the morning are dominated by turning on the TV. And they are more apt to be satellite radio subscribers. In-car listening is the next battleground.
