Fallout from Smooth Jazz flip
With Smooth Jazz WVMV making such a radical flip, to contemporary hits (read, Top 40), naturally not all of the station's personnel will be on board through the new era.
Alexander Zonjic, who held down the morning show, is one who loses a prominent slot, and Sandy Kovach is gone as well. As Mike Austerman reported on Michiguide.com, Kovach will be on overnights at WOMC-FM (104.3), so she retains a job at CBS.
P.D. Mike Sleeker is gone from WVMV as well.
Another change at CBS locally; WOMC nighttime talent Beau Derek will be replaced by J.J. Jackson, who I just heard the other day on Sirius XM's '70s on 7 channel (he'll keep that gig). J.J. was once on the air here, at WHYT. I'm thinking he'll voice track the evening show in, but I'll check on that today.

I checked-out the new WVMV format on the FM frequency yesterday. Too much noise (translated as ads and promos) for me. But they(CBS)are going for another demographic in young adult females if I read your article correctly, so it may work for them. It's kind of "more of the same" that we already have too much of already. The "Smooth Jazz" on the HD-2 frequency is about the same minus those personalities who you mentioned. I much prefer listening to shows like Ann Delisi's "Essential Music", weekend afternoons on WDET who you wrote about several months ago (Thanks for that!). She puts some thought into her selections and gives related info between sets and has live guests and special features to add to the mix.
Ann's "Essential Music" is wonderful, my only problem is I tend to be a daily listener. If something isn't on daily -- music especially -- I'll forget that it's there for me on the weekend. -- Susan Whitall
