WILV is owned by Bonneville too, and they have been a mess for years now both in programming and on-air staff. I believe Brian Middleton still works there, but other than that I couldn't tell you who else. Nor could I tell you what shift Brian does. And what happened to "Love FM"? Guess they bailed on that eh. Programming-wise last time I heard WILV it was like the 100.3 before LoveFM with some 90s dance songs tossed in the mix. Moral of my post: Don't hail Bonneville as the greatest thing since sliced bread simply because one of their stations does well.
: While Bonneville was eager to keep its star morning drive team, sources say that Ferguson and Hart also very much wanted to remain with Bonneville and WTMX, where they are unquestionably a great fit.
: In a radio world that is hemorrhaging increasingly large amounts of red ink, Bonneville remains a classy exception -- a debt-free operation that believes in running its radio stations with a full complement of staff and rewarding employees for a job well done.
