: "Dan Deibert: Bit of strange day for me today. I, being of sound mind, left the station that I dreamed of working at since I was 12. Crazy? Perhaps. But it was the right thing to do."
: I wonder if this has to do with the WGN weekend changes of late, or if it's related to his recent fill-in in Madison, WI? Perhaps he's accepted a full time slot there?

I'm thinking you might be right. Maybe he found a full time gig. Because his exit shouldn't have been related to the WGN weekend change-up: Dan is perfect for the "new" WGN direction. He's young, funny and good on the air. I would have thought that there would be more opportunities for Dan there with Metheny's apparent plan. Dan must have read the writing on the wall differently. Or he's going somewhere full time.
