There's been some moving and shaking in the local media over the last few weeks. I haven't really got a chance to write about it any of it, so let's go ahead and do that now.
Sports Radio:
As we first reported last week, Tyler Media is flipping 107.7FM KRXO to a sports radio format in August. Since we broke the news, there have been a lot of rumors as to who is joining the new station. We've addressed some of this on Twitter and Facebook, but I thought I'd officially clarify them here.
This is what we know:
• Mike Steely and "Lump" are officially leaving the Sports Animal to host KRXO's new morning show. Curtis Fitzpatrick is staying behind because he's kind of boring and his wife works in sales for Cumulus. They'll be joined in the morning by social media savvy John Rohde, who is leaving the Oklahoman sports department after a 26-year run. There's no word on what the new morning show will be called. I hope they go with either "Two Angry Old Men and Fart Jokes" and/or "Tony Dorhutt."
