Johnnie Walker Out At WGRD; Channel 95-7 now Mix 95.7




WGRD'S WALKER CANNED, CHANNEL BECOMES MIX
Big changes at Townsquare GR
It has been made official that Johnnie Walker, who had been the afternoon jock and Programming Director at Townsquare active rocker WGRD 97.9 has been let go from the station. No word as to why he was fired, but allegedly, part of it might be due to GRD's slump in the ratings as of late. In recent months, fans of the station have noticed more classic rock creeping into the playlist, angering them.

It's not known if the classic rock bent was Walker's decision.

Meanwhile, sister hot AC WLHT has flipped its moniker from "Channel 95-7" to "Mix 95.7". No changes to music or airstaff have been made. It's not known if rival iHeartMedia played a role, since they own CHR WKQI "Channel 9-5-5" in Detroit.
