: : : Former Clear Channel promotions intern turned promotions part timer turned WGCI on-air street team member (who was then fired and returned later as on-air jock) Koolout will shift to WVON, replacing Roland Martin.
: : : Expect an official announcement soon.
: : Huh. From weekends on a hip hop music station to mornings on THE african talk station of chicago. Makes you wonder what kinda kool-aid is flowing from the water coolers.
: : I better tune in Monday at 6am to hear this radio magic. I know the Reverend Al Sharpton will be.
: What is going on with Melody?? First programmers that don't know how to exploit this historical race in America, just the thought of Kool Out being on in that position is just as bad as when they put the no talent stone pony on Power 92! Urban radio is doomed. The PPM and now just stupid bad programming is destroying the once great Urban radio.

Hold onto your panties, everyone! Someone got misinformed; a bad case of the telephone game. Koolout is NOT the new morning guy. He is just joining WVON for Sunday into Monday overnights!
