Triangle sports radio shakeup

[HereBeforeCoachK]

It's my understanding that DG was let go by Curtis Media, his employer. He didn't work for 99.9, the local station here in Raleigh, he worked for Curtis Media and was broadcast throughout the state. I'll post more when I hear more (without invading DG's privacy).

Apparently his statewide show is perhaps gone...according to this: https://barrettsportsmedia.com/2020/...ports-network/

Notice that among the comments, they are 100% against moving Gold into Glenn's spot.

So Joe Ovies and Giglio are out at 99.9 The Fan "abruptly" as of Wednesday afternoon.

I do not celebrate anyone getting fired, and I certainly am not in the target demo for sports radio any more - but I thought Ovies was a blight on local radio. He was always childish, "too cool for school" and never EVER had a feel for the ACC, or for the Duke Carolina rivalry, or even for college sports in general to be frank.

Local sports radio has never been less relevant in my lifetime....and I guess the slow degrade of the product is inevitable.

Ovies is gone from WRAL's sports page, too. His bio page brings up a 404.

He was teamed up there with Lauren Brownlow in both written and video formats.

I did not consume the sports pages at WRAL...and I had kinda wondered what had become of Brownlow...had not heard her on air in long time. (then again, mainly listen during Canes pre game / post game while in traffic around PNC arena.)
